I'm in heaven. The other day I had to cycle round a _FUCKING_ENORMOUS_GREAT_BOAT_ (either new or rebuilt Dutch, but different design to Chas's) on a flatbed trying to get down Stanley Road. Anyone who knows where I live will know that this is a totally laughable thing, and won't be at all surprised that they had to play at silly buggers for quite a long time to get it back out of the situation they had got themselves into while turning into the road. They eventually gave up and brought it back down Newmarket Road, straight past the window of National where I work, thus giving me more ample time to survey the gorgeous thing. Even the prop didn't bother me, I just loked at it in fascination that such a tiny thing could propel a boat that big. The tiller was immense, the boat itself very shallow-bottomed.

Anway, the same boat has just cruised gently past my lounge window, going *chug chug chug* very quietly.

I'm in love.

Can I have that one please...?
