Was it used in anger, or as an experiment

Not me, just one that makes me wince

Sure I have similar on my boat and assume it acts in the same way that a F & E tank does on a CH system I have a constant 50mm or so of coolant in mine and would top up when it drops below Min Have done it once since I've owned the boat (but also, I haven't had any cause to remove any hoses....yet) If there's no coolant in the reservoir when engine is warm/hot, won't it drag air into the cooling system as it cools down/contracts ?

Know the feeling, sat here looking at Saturdays forecast, it's good 😭 Won't be going to Tenerife on 23rd Jan 😭 Trying to buy a new van, can't have it for 16/18 weeks, I need it this tax year 😭 Fuck Drakeford, I'm donning my mask and going down the boat tomorrow to check my batteries and bilge pumps Fitted some new stainless rod holders the other week too, ready for lockdown 😭

Are any of the outlaws casting a wicked hook today Or are we all locked in ?

I've just cooked breakfast for the swampettes and their boyfriends and am going downhill at a fair rate of knots May have to open a can

Well, we've had a belter Hope you all have as well 🤩

So so true

Yep, Happy Christmas to you all from the Swamp household 🎅

My last 2 boats had outdrives, apart from changing a bearing carrier (a friend fitted the props back on and omitted the forward spacer, so it got badly worn) all mine needed was basic, yearly maintenance Will be expensive if/when things go south though

Yes I know, but it appealed to my childish sense of humour and I imagined my kids singing it when they were young

Parody of "Jingle Bells" Dashing through the snow, on a pair of broken skis Over the hills we go, crashing into trees! The snow is turning red, I think I might be dead, I woke up in the hospital with stitches in my head, oh! 9-1-1, 9-1-1, Santa Claus is dead! Rudolph took a .44 and shot him in the head, oh! Barbie Doll, Barbie Doll, tried to save his life, But G.I. Joe from Mexico stabbed him with a knife!

A priest and a nun are on their way back from the seminary when their car breaks down. The garage doesn't open until morning so they have to spend the night in a B&B. It only has one room available. The priest says: "Sister, I don't think the Lord would object if we spend the night sharing this one room. I'll sleep on the sofa and you have the bed." "I think that would be fine," agrees the nun. They prepare for bed, say some prayers and settle down to sleep. Ten minutes pass, and the nun says: "Father, I'm very cold." "OK," says the priest, "I'll get a blanket from the cupboard." Another ten minutes pass and the nun says again: "Father, I'm still terribly cold." The priest says: "Don't worry, I'll get up and fetch you another blanket." Another ten minutes pass, then the nun murmurs softly: "Father I'm still very cold. I don't think the Lord would mind if we acted as man and wife just for a night." "You're right," says the priest. "Get your own blankets."

A man takes a seat on an aeroplane. Settled in, he sees a strikingly beautiful woman boarding. To his delight, she takes the seat beside him. Eager to strike up a conversation, he says, "Business trip or holiday?" She smiles and says, "Business - the annual sex convention in New York." The man swallows hard. Struggling to maintain his composure, he asks, "What's your role at the convention then?" "Lecturer," she responds. "I use my experience to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality." "Really," the man says. "What myths are those?" "Well," the woman explains, "one popular myth is that African men are the best endowed, when, in fact, it's the Native American Indians. Another misconception is that Frenchmen are the world's best lovers, when in fact men of Jewish descent are the best in bed. We have, however, found that the best overall lovers are the rednecks from South America." Suddenly, the woman becomes a little uncomfortable and blushes. "I'm really sorry," she says, "I shouldn't really be discussing this with you. I don't even know your name." "Tonto," the man says. "Tonto Goldstein. But my friends call me Bubba."

A man takes a week off work and decides to play a round of golf every day. First thing Monday morning, he sets off and soon finds himself catching up with a stunning woman playing in front of him. He suggests that they play against each other for the rest of the day and she agrees. The woman proves to be very talented, and wins on the last hole. Afterwards, she accepts the man's offer of a lift home and, on the way, admits she hasn't enjoyed herself so much for a long time. "In fact," she says, "why don't you pull over so I can show you how much I appreciate it." So the man pulls over and, to his delight, the woman performs oral sex on him. They arrange to play golf again the next morning. Once again the woman wins, and she shows her appreciation in the same way on the journey home. This goes on all week, until Friday, when the man reveals he has booked dinner at a restaurant and a night of passion in a hotel. On the way there, the woman suddenly bursts into tears. "I can't do it," she says, "You see, I'm a transvestite." The man is aghast. He swerves violently off the road, and pulls the car to a screeching halt. "You fucking cheat!" he screams. "You've been playing off the ladies' tees all week."

"Won't you kiss me, doctor," asks a beautiful woman. "No, it would be against my code of ethics," says the doctor. "Please just one kiss," begs the woman. "It's completely out of the question," he goes on. "I shouldn't even really be having sex with you."

No, they're still about, but the locks have covid and will be shut, which means I'll have to go to work now I usually have a pint or 2 on a Monday (way back when the pubs were open) so quite like them

Tuesday aint happening now 😭

With rumours of another lockdown, possibly on the 17th, work was ditched and bait was bought. The forecast wasn't good, but being a Southerly wind meant we could find a bit of respite on the English side We shared the 7.30 am lock with just one other boat and no sooner had we tied up, the gates swung open and out we went Steamed up on the last of the flood through a very choppy sea, giving the roof and windows a good wash in the process and arrived at Ladye Bay on what should have been slack high water. The tide should have turned by about 8/8.30, but wind had other ideas and we were still facing down channel until 9.30 ish when we spun and could then start fishing properly We were anchored a few hundred yards from a charter who Mark, my crew for the day, uses regularly. A quick phone call revealed they hadn't had so much as a twitch on any of the 10 rods on board and were probably going back to Penarth on the Coral They moved soon after while we stuck it out and did a bit of gardening untill the weed got too much of a pain and we upped and made the journey back to Cardiff through some snotty wind against tide seas, with just 1 lazy Thornie of around 8/10lb who thought it was a lump of weed for our troubles Turned the wipers off and dropped the pick uptide of a gully just south of the Cardiff mid buoy and waited, and waited, and waited 3 more smallish Thornbacks and 1 bootlace down to slack water at this mark, so with the first 2 hrs of the flood usually being productive, we moved to a mark slightly further North at the top of a long sand bank Being a fairly big tide and bang on low water this journey was a methodical one, as a lot of the smaller sand banks aren't in the position the charts say they are and we were down to 3ft a few times where the charts showed at least 16/18ft We were again a few hundred yards off the charter, Tuskar 2 who had struggled to find any decent fish and with one of his crew severely seasick (and had been all day) crept passed us and locked in early We stuck it out until 4.50pm without so much as a bite between us, so pulled the pin and caught the 5.15 lock back in.......Codless The locks are still open as I type this, so Tuesday 22nd is my next planned excursion, a smaller tide and flatter conditions which will allow us to get up towards Portishead and scout out some new (to me) grounds Hopefully

Cracking fish, there seems to be some clonkers about, just not in any numbers yet

Weekend looks shite, but from Monday on looks OK (upper channel) I'm snatching a few hrs on the boat tomorrow, wasn't sure if we were going to be locked down again from tomorrow (so planned a trip just in case)

Cracking report, a great read 👍

Always use running ledger, whether down or uptiding I can see the advantage of the bolt rig, it may stop me watching my lead soar over the horizon, with my baited snood trying to catch it up I seem to put the lead on the wrong snap at least once per trip

I forgot, I also bought a new unused Daiwa slosh 30, and a Shimano torium 16 which was returned to seller 😆 And a Garmin g3 vision card
