MR Kinnit has given me permishonn to trawl the Forum I wouldn't have done it otherwise. I think we should be able to secure a good deal from one of the major Chandlery wholesalers.

Alex I'm up for it!

One of the problems I think with the forums is that people nowadys can't get the impartial advice they once used to get. e.g if a newbie asked what sort of Rib they should get a lot of the advice given nowadays is based on self interest and I don't think that does the forum any good. So i am very particular not to go down that road!

You were there when the name Rogue Wave came up first in fact I think it was you came up with it and it refers to the unpredictabilty of my life. I am beginning to think that Rogue isn't a good name for somebody offering a service. Perhaps I should go all the way and set up another idea for business purposes called Rogue Trader!

No only am I decent and popular Missus but I was damn good looking in my younger days! ( well i always thought so anyway!)

More ideas please

[badbaws]

You could call it the Billy's Big Boat Shed!!

As for your name..
RIBBED FOR EXTRA PLEASURE>>>

Hows about ultimate wave.. you come in with a huge amount a force, swamp the competition and wash them away...
Badbaws of the den of depravity!!

Couldn't agree more. Us leisure members don't like the 'soft sellers' who don't declare their financial aims. I really admire you for being open about your business interests and I think it will stand you in good stead.

I was there alright...in Wales when your friend Methuselah (DM ) was giving philosophical advice about life the universe and everything. He said it was important to ignore troubles and sit them out...like going along in the Solent and hitting a rogue wave. ('That's what Stu is,' he said...'a sort of a Rogue Wave.' ) Sound advice for life and business DM gives. Hopefully you employ him as a consultant. (Now there's an idea ! You could put him in a tent and we could cross his palm with silver).

You'll have to buy an undertakers Hearse and put your RIB on the back, Pete tells me that it's so quiet only these go down his road and nothing else.

Hypotetically speaking if we were to set up in Portsmouth what facilities would you like to see?

Probably my kitchen finished

[Pete7]

As for southampton, Britt doing hot bacon baps when the customers come back after a day on the water.

You can suggest this one though as she frightens me

[The Jackeens]

So nothing meant...just looking at the nickname.

OK what do you think of a place to dry/ store wet gear then Stuart?

My pet hate is bringing that sopping stuff home

Boat breaking down That's a good idea we could offer a free Solent recovery service to our Clients!
drying room shouldn't be a problem!

[John Kennett]

Ranting by, and about, Manos moved to a separate thread

[Rogue Wave]

THis idea is now a goer, we are moving into a boatshed at Drivers Wharf.

Its quite a big commitment for us but we are naturally exited by it!

we are presently building the training rooms and moving our maintenance equipment in. SHould be ready to roll in about 3 weeks.

The Centre will have an RYA skool which will be used by ourselves and Fluid tuition and three traing boats . AN Avon and a brace of Geminis.

we have found an on call mechanic Outboard servicing wont be a problem and we have found a superb Diesel mechanic.

Space is Available four four boats inside and five boats outside which will be very secure!.

getting Kicked off the communal PC so more later

[The Jackeens]

Sounds organised Stu.


Good luck mate

Us

[Richard B]

Got the guided tour form your good lady wife yesterday and it's well impressive, Stuart.

All the best with it, I'll be popping in for coffee and 2-stroke oil.

[Pete7]

Since security seems to be a hot topic at the moment a few pics of Rogue Waves new place showing the work in progress. So if your any good at plastering / painting or can make good tea for the workers & Boatmad members, do call in to Drivers Wharf and say hi.

Re Photography Instructor

Dear Peter,

May I say what a pleasure it was to meet you last week and how truly impressed we were with your theoretical knowledge of the Art of Photography, the results of which are clearly viible on this thread.


Unfortunately, despite the attractive grants available to us for employing you we feel you need just a little more experience behind the lens as it were, and regrettably have to reject your application for this position.

The news is not all bad however as we have many exiting new developments planned for our Unit, including the building of a toilet block, and thus we feel we will have a position suitable to your skill level in the near future. and to this end will keep your application on file.

We wish you every success in the future, and offer you our best regards

Yours

Britt Andersen


s.p. Bring your own brush

(Pierre Sept might save you a few bob Britt by advising you on some neat & extremely economical French ideas for toilet blocks -fresh from his recent excursions!!!)
