I have bought a boat project
Biggles
I have bought a project. Here's the blog.
http://boatbuildblog.blogspot.com/
I would be happy to receive sensible advice and comments.

Great blog. Reckon you've taken on some project with that wide beam
shell. Its a pity there isn't a discussion arena for waterways,
similar to a newsgroup, but like a blog where photographs can be
submitted. The blog was so much more interesting because of the
excellent pics. It kind of humanised the whole thing, even got to see
what Biggles looks like! Now before I'm told that I'm ignorant as
there are such forums or whatever they are called. Yes I am! As much
as having a great affection for this newsgroup, like an old friend, I
fear its seems to be dying on its feet which would be a great pity.
Best wishes with the project Biggles.
Roger.

Rubbish - this newsgroup is in revival mode - as is the economy (:-)
Thanks to Biggles for the posting and good luck with the project.

Try Canalworld .net It gets quite contentious at times but does
pictures.

I am looking forward to the challenge I have set myself.
I will try to keep the blog interesting, and BTW I am not on it as I
am always behind the camera.
If you must put a face to the name this is what I look like after a
day rubbing down my current narrowboat

I would have thought that of all people, AS excluded of course, you would be
able to do that Tony - you make an ass of yourself so much elsewhere :->

I suspect Tony has the same problem. My joints are a bit stiff so I can
no longer disappear up my own fundaments. Which is a bit unfortunate
for the rest of the population (that I can no longer disappear up my own
AS).

It does this every year in the winter and then perks up in the spring
when we all go boating again... at last, it has in the past.!

We have been moored in Heritage Narrowboats at the bottom of the Macc
for a while and have wandered up to Congleton a couple of times.
On the way we pass a narrowboat called Lord Byron's Maggot and I knew
the name but couldn't remember where from.
Suddenly all became clear.
Hi Arthur, we're nearly neighbours.

"They" being the keyboard manufacturers? It's historical, and
goes back to early developments of the type writing machine.
Originally, people who operated said machines were type writers.
The best of them could work so fast that their machines would jam
up. In an effort to avoid these problems, and yet still retain
the speed of operation, the positions of the keys and the
associated levers were rearranged, until the now common QWERTY
arrangement was found to be the best compromise.
Other less common arrangements of keyboards are available, such
as the Dvorjak design - and the specialist design with a limited
number of keys, as used by court stenographers.
