Agree with you Pilgrim, but it seems like skirts are taking over the world, Sturgeon in Scotland, Merkel in Munchen, May in Mayfair--------Hilary heading for the White House ?------all we need is a Katarina in the Kremlin and we got us a full house. France with the Penn girl-----should I worry ? Bet your sweet bippy I'm worried !
Remember the old adage " when women rule the world" -------now I'm not brave, or stupid enough to say women should stay home, do the cooking .cleaning and ironing, put on the black gear, ready for the breadwinner, but hells teeth, I have to say ------there's cause for concern ------is -the world ready for the biggest revolution there's ever been. .?

Well the UK has had a few women in control in the old says and the issue when they have control is they have no morals, there is no live and let live. Just watch when they have a physical fight with one another, its to the death if they can.
More heads chopped of by English Queens than Kings.

How about the future looking like this;
the UK and USA allies with Russia against NATO?

Told you before Pilgrim --------do not mess with the monarchy -------they chop off heads-------a teeny bit of rape and pillage has been recorded---------when Henry and the spaghetti chewing Pontiff had a fall out-------best way to show a bit of dissent---------dissolution of the monasteries --------burn em down--------send the buggers packing I.
Nothing like the wrath of a women scorned------specially if she's a Queen--------Sir Walt ( he of tobacco fame) found out the hard way-------you don't perform nearly as well without nuts!

[powerabout]

thats true
I hear Boris will get to deal with Putin afterall
Just need Trump in to seal the deal for world peace.

Rent day again-------same old crap at the car boot sale-----different day. Bought a kilo of cherries as an afterthought-------times are tough in my neck of the woods.
Tributes still pouring in for Lee Davies on Facebook-------can't help but wonder what's going to happen to that wonderful collection of priceless Mercury race engines !
Butler, if you happen to read this------maybe you could put the nod on some of the Mercury hierarchy -----twould make the foundation for a national outboard and racing museum-----believe me, it's an awesome collection, and everything is in pristine condition.
Whatever anyone paid for the collection------it could never be enough.
Lee Davies put his soul into that collection!

Stinks doesn't it----------Boris sold out, just to get the posting-----double dealing bastards, he'd sell his grandma for a seat in the house!
Still, he's well ensconced and the rest of the old guard are gone for ever?
He's the only "posh" boy left standing,

dont forget they are still making them...

[jackiewilson]

dont forget they are still making them...

But not in great quantities Pilgrim-----it's a dying breed !

Theres always been a long held belief in government that only those that went to Eton, Marlborough, Harrow, Oxford or Cambridge (the chosen ones) should rule the country-----------that's total bollocks.
You need to be upper class with a little fortune-------it helps if pater has a big fortune-----having a brain and an IQ of more than 125 counts for nothing, unless you have friends in high places and are part of the old boys and "jolly hockey sticks" network your going nowhere. Ever heard of Quangos ?
Well, I got news for you, ------times they are a changing--------intelligence is taking over from the old boys network--------lets hope common sense prevails !
Ours was a bloodless revolution (this time) ------problem is, for every action, there's a reaction, simple kinetic energy !

Here endeth today's lesson -------have a great day-------I'm on with the COSWORTH .

[jackiewilson]

Trump just played his ace--------after the massacre in Nice, the civilised people of the world have had enough of Isis --------they want revenge, justice, call it what you like. They are assassins hiding behind a religion and it don't look like anyone anywhere is doing anything about it.
Trump hits the spot---------declare war on Isis --------he's smarter than the average boo- boo.
Nearly 90 people died, over half of them kids watching fireworks------what sort of religion is it that can sanction that kind of slaughter to innocents ?
It's hard to remember the time, before we were all scared of what these crazy lunatics would do next.

I know this site is supposed to be about boats and boating people-----well this old fart was working in the shop on the COSWORTH, but my thoughts and prayers were for all those people caught up in
the hatred that is Isis!

[powerabout]

life was simpler when the Cosworth was invented and most people had never heard the word islam let alone be affected by it

Back in the old routine-------visit the " Recycling Facility"--------wonder what image an 84 year old foraging through the scrapyard conjures up ?
forecast says summers here ? ------'bout bloody time, August is just around the corner and all we had to show for it is four days without rain--------not a great result in the grand scheme of things.
Left the swamp that passed for a pool until the middle of June ------here we are a month later and not one single person has got his or her bum wet up to now.
Thats not going to happen again-----seriously looking at turning it into a water cress field.?
Its our village fete this weekend, we had a huge fireworks display last night-----big happenings on the village green, Willie Austin and his band playing from seven till eleven. A bar with real ale and a 1980/ s theme! Miami vice was all the rage then, thought I might go as Don Johnson-------well , maybe an open neck white shirt and turn the sleeves of my jacket up to the elbows------you have to do your bit when called upon.
Have a whole free bay to devote to the COSWORTH ------it's a fiddly sort of project, but I do want to make it a bit more authentic than last time------won't post any pics until it's all done and dusted.

Enjoy your weekend folks, I'm going to !

Did a bit of wheeling and dealing this morning-------found a nice tureen , hallmarked 1910. Found it in the scrap pewter bin. All the lengths of metal I bought cost me £15--------sold the tureen for £18-------so I'm in pocket for the day + I have another stack of stock for the shop!
Struggled a bit with the clutch assembly,-------done four of the ventures with injection pipes--------they get boring after a while-----takes me nearly an hour to do each one and there's eight of the damn things.
Cogitating how to do the twin banks of exhaust pipes-----originals were twisted to form a four into one water cooled silencer! Don't know if I dare think that far outside the box-------I have very limited capabilities.
Great to see that Phil Mickelson is leading all the high flyers at Troonñ-----it's only the half ay stage, but that boy will take some catching.

Bad day here in the US 3 more cops killed 3 more injured in ambush. Hits hard here at my house. Both of my sons and my son in-law are cops. Got to get rid of these bad guys!
