2 stroke oil .... expensive

servicing .... expensive
Pi$$ing on Mollers opti ... Priceless !

We left cars and trailers in the public car park by the slip, but
not secure we locked trailers together with chains and it cost about £40-45 for a long weekend.

Maximus set a UK record for the latest ever recorded when he was plucked to safety by HMS Gannet on 4 December from the Bass Rock.

When he is released, it is hoped Maximus will head towards the Bay of Biscay or Africa for the next two years, until he becomes a fully-fledged adult.


Is this what happens to heavy snorer`s then

Mind you they do say " Snorers Burn More Calories"

Maybe kipping on the beach isn't such a bad idea if the Ribnet snoring squad are turning up.

Maxi Matt registered on the Richter scale, his tent was expanding and contracting as he inhaled and exhaled!

Eh!! Leave me out of the snoring. That was a two way comp between Jimbo and Matt. Jimbo was competing on Cider, whilst Matt opted for raw mackeral.

As for the other olympic event? I know a Welsh National competitor who won't turn up on the Scillies, but will be in full training next week when I'm rooming with him.

A few pints and I would probably be unable to sleep in a tent in case I inhaled it

So the competitors are Me, Bedajim and Maximus It must be something to do with being powerfully built.
