Nice photo of a hysterical marker.

Brian should have called for volunteers for a suicide mission.

This has been one very funny thread No sign of Brian though. I hope he's not tried putting to sea in it and perished

Probably a bit early for him today, or he's hiding in the boat

Garry's correct...I've just woke up and am enjoying my morning coffee. I'd want to have every vaccination known to medical science before I'd get anywhere near that boat. I'm glad the boat pic was good for a few laughs.

That helmet sort of thing near the bow, maybe Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers were previous owners?

We came across a few like that, moored in various rivers. We called them "Pirates". Usually their boat was a bit bigger than that because it needed to house the owner and his dog...He always had a dog because he got paid £6 a week to support it! They were often an embarassment to land owners along the river banks, but they never seemed to find a way to shift them. One of them has been up a creek off the Fal in Cornwall for many many years...I think it floats occasionally but it would never move anywhere as it would take a week to untie the hundreds of strings holding it to nearby trees and banks...Notice I did not call them ropes...I like ropes
