Aaaah so Mr Pawn is a 5'5'' nerd, bald, bespectacled, lard arse owner of nvgs and hunter welly boots (the ones with the straps) I bet he calls his rib Flossy………..when it eventually arrives Des

Too right - and my mate has 4000 of them to play with!!!

As to "cottaging" dare I show my ignorance and ask what is it???

The reason I invested in NVGs is that I managed to get them for less than £300 and as I was in the cave/mountain rescue I thought they may come in handy - should be quite useful on the RIB as well but being gen1 they do white out like hell if there are lights in the background!!!

.......can't be serious ? You know all those hours you spend driving from one National Trust carpark to another in the dead of night using your night vision goggles, staring at young couples banging away wishing you could join in ? Well that's cottaging or at least part of it dependig on how serious you are about the hobby. To take it a step further, you could be the one in the car allowing others (in their night vsion spec's) to join in. Are you with me now ?

p.s

N.T Carpark grid ref 14122354 is the best one I've ever visited

Is that like dogging but different??? Apparently Swansea is supposed to be the "in" place for dogging but still haven't managed to see anyone!!!

Beside which with all of Tony Blair's great new laws it is now illegal to do ANYTHING!!! Even married couples aren't allowed to shag in their cars these days!!!

It's similar to that well known French expression, 'Quel tit enorme'

Now I believe Cottaging is what goes on in public toilet between two male chaps!
Cottaging as in the old public toilet you get that look like little cottages!
So I believe the use of large shopping bags are used , one stands in it so if someone takes a peek under the door all you see is one pair of legs!!

.....more than happy to bow to someone elses superior knowledge However from now until the day I die, every time I go into a public convenience I'll be forever looking under doors for large paper bags

Personally I would only ever recommend the type of public convenience illustrated below. This particular model is 'cottaging proof' since it features twin torsion spring door closures and an anti-jemmy locking mechanism. Furthermore, unlike traditional cottage-style public toilet blocks there is no air gap under the door thereby preventing potential 'cottagers' from peering underneath for paper bags.

.........don't you think you have just a little too much time on your hands ?

Dosn't it travel in time as well???

Errr, after a short break I have just checked out what I thought was a hot debate regarding Navman or Raymarine gear and lordy lordy how the thread has deviated (how apt). Now if you'd started the thread with a topic like 'dogging and cottaging for beginners' you would have had my undivided attention all along. I am curious how many other threads have strayed into the realms of fetishism or explored the finer points of necrophilia, maybe I shall try the search and find out.

I would love to join this new line of banter but I have to go to the pet shop to get another gerbil, the last one split !

What a curious collection of twisted folk you ribbers are, welcome to the fold brothers.

Keep up the vitriolic rapport it's a great spectator sport.

At last somebody understands...... Its just fun.... Frankly - I just adore
codpiece, dont forget ribbers are an entirely different breed of humanity.You have a rib because you want to go FAST and ignore all conventionality.
And just check the number of views when Codpiece and myself are going at it( not cottaging heavens forbid- just think of all the advertising JK can sell when he shows the number of views. What do you want ? some kind of over 70's convention??

Maybe you should have a look at Lowrance. Just bought a 10,4 inch plotter with fishfinder for a fair price.
It's last years model for 30 % of the normal price. Payed about 1600 euro.

Have been testing it for a hour now and I think it's a great machine. Working very fast en has a very clear sunview screen.

Can do lots of things with the thing.

the lcx104c.

I have tried some Navman instruments and will not try them anymore because of the moistureproblems and slow action.
