Things Happen Part Two

[Caran]

Sitting nicely moored on a pontoon. A large hired boat came along and decided to moor up next to us, he kept trying to reverse in but couldn't do it, on trying to move out and moor further along he gave our bow a mighty crash. At the time we were talking to a fellow Brit who lives on his boat. He went round to the front of our boat and had a look. The boat had split the fibreglass around the anchor point. We had paid a damage deposit of €300.
I said to neighbour I suppose we will have to forfeit that. He told us to phone our boatyard in the morning. He would be a witness we had no part in it. I found a damage form in with our paperwork, I filled it in and neighbour signed it too. He reckons they will send someone out very quickly tomorrow.
What next I wonder!

[gness]

What next, you wonder Caran?....You have a holiday with Gness?......x

[Caran]

I reckon that would be great.
What have you done to your leg?

[tonyav]

gness on a boat !!!!!!!!!!

[gness]

Look here, AV.......I have only sunk one boat in the whole of my life!.......!

Lots of bugs keep biting me, Caran...badly..... :-(

[tonyav]

Only one ?, wasn't a big un was it ?.

[Caran]

OH suffers terribly with bites, they love his blood. Many years ago I think it was Turkey we were at he got bitten so badly he had blood poisoning. Since then he has had to coat himself from head to foot in a cream every morning, as well as using another one whenever he feels a stinging pain from erupting spots all over his body. I feel so sorry for him, he's always having to roll his trouser legs up and dab cream on, or some other part of his body. I've never had a problem with bites so I am very lucky.

[gness]

Well, you've heard of the Titanic, Tony?........

Caran.....I have never been bothered with bites in my life until the past year.....now they are a terror.....swelling....bleeding...septic and knock me for six.....bloody annoying!

It's the wine gness and the guinness. It's like going to the Bar for all those little insects :o) xx

[mazie]

Hope you get it sorted Caran x

[gness]

Mazie....there is a school of thought that says if you drink Guinness you won't be bitten.........that's a load of tosh!....x

[mazie]

It's true of red wine too. I had about 30 bites last summer all at the same time. Was a nightmare. I had to by some Jungle spray. You should get some, it worked a treat xx

[gness]

Mazie.....I have Jungle spray...and wrist bands.....and keep covered up......the nastiest one crawled up my leg and bit me silently.......little devils....x

[mazie]

Awww. They must love you :o(

[gness]

I love Stephen Fry, Mazie.....I don't go around biting his legs though..... :-(

[mazie]

:o) Must warn Stephen not to come round to yours !

[tonyav]

.I don't go around biting his legs though..... :-(

[sunny-dave]

I have often wondered about a canal holiday - so many people tell me it's great fun ... I now have some doubts creeping in ...

[gness]

You never know, Mazie.....Stephen may enjoy some leg biting.......

And less of the height cracks, AV!.....I can nip an ankle with the best of them!!!!!....;-)

[gness]

Oh don't be a wuss, Dave....just invite me and Caran....think of the fun you'd have!....x

[tonyav]

I can nip an ankle with the best of them!!!!!....;-)
