FIFTY SHADES OF GREY BY PAM AYRES👇😂 The missus bought a Paperback, down Shepton Mallet way, I had a look inside her bag;... T'was "Fifty Shades of Grey". Well I just left her to it, And at ten I went to bed. An hour later she appeared; The sight filled me with dread. In her left hand she held a rope; And in her right a whip! She threw them down upon the floor, And then began to strip. Well fifty years or so ago; I might have had a peek; But Mabel hasn't weathered well; She's eighty four next week!! Watching Mabel bump and grind; Could not have been much grimmer. And things then went from bad to worse; She toppled off her Zimmer! She struggled back upon her feet; A couple minutes later; She put her teeth back in and said "I am a dominator!!" Now if you knew our Mabel, You'd see just why I spluttered, I'd spent two months in traction For the last complaint I'd uttered. She stood there nude and naked Bent forward just a bit I went to hold her, sensual like and stood on her left tit! Mabel screamed, her teeth shot out; My God what had I done! She moaned and groaned then shouted out: "Step on the other one!!" Well readers, I can tell no more; Of what occurred that day. Suffice to say my jet black hair, Turned fifty shades of grey!!

State of mind? That'll do.

Oh, your deep. 🤣

Didn't we all? Andy does love to try and drag us up from the gutter. You'd think he would give up already.

Micro dots, they were the way forward!!

Isnt that most boat fishermen? That's why we have boats, so we can be proper alone. Not on a beach having to put up with the constant flow of walkers letting their dogs eat the bait or knock the rods over. Then there's the "have you caught much mate?" groupies!! FFS 😩

@Troy Tempest, do you have trim tabs fitted ? And if so, how twitchy is the hull when the tabs are operated?

Yep, defo does. What's an SSSS?

I don't recall ever seeing paper charts on JG?? So what will you do?

Use my phone 👅

That's probably because it's dull and we have a life, that doesn't involve sitting at a desk with protractor and compass?? 👨🏼‍🏫

Welcome @Troy Tempest. love the professional photographic shot of you on your boat.

Nobody is!!

I don't really know this band, but seen their name about in record shops. Will have to explore them further!

Well you'd should get him to leave you some written instructions for when he's away! Otherwise you won't ever have caught any fish.

I think maybe you should put some pictures up on the "show us yer boat" thread. Then we can all look and admire.

They should re name them Ginger bears after that performance.

FTFY Jon.

He's probably busy going back through his early days memories to see if there could possibly be a stray child called Mike, then cross referencing the family gene pool.

It's not a joke mate. My point is, if your going to add weight then should the unthinkable ever happen, then having negative weight ballast could quite possibly buy you precious minutes to organise and abandon ship. Bags of water are very heavy, until put in water where the weight will be neutral. You could start with a few 20ltr plastic canisters. And when you find the correct weight required and position of said weight, then replace the canisters with a bag.

You really shouldn't need to. Try distributing weight already on the boat a bit better first. If not, then wakeboarding water ballast bags would do the job. Better than lead shot as water is neutral weight should you start to sink.

Yes mine too. Has to lay on the handle side, which my Mercury was opposite side to the handle!

Others on here will know better than me on these things, but Redex for example do a fuel additive designed to clean injectors. Worth a Google?
