Lads, forgive me... I have sinned against our gender...
For some christ-only knows reason, Render gave in to the wench.
Dammit, did years of John Wayne and Humphrey Bogart teach me nothing?? It's the thin end of the wedge - give in jussst once and next thing you know, yer b**locks will be clacking off her lugholes for earrings!
Ahh well, 'tis done now. Suppose I'd better 'fess up to what it is I gave in to the Gob-On-Legs about.
A new boat.
Gah.
One of those "ones with little sheds on the front".
A half-cabin, to the uninitiated in totty-speak. Something to hang bloody doilies and net curtains off.
Don't get me wrong, he's a nice little chap. Roomy, bit of comfort up front and an Evinrude 90 up back. Great for the old social cruising and if the insanity take hold of me again, more than capable of hauling in the odd fish from.
Which leads me to the Straddie part of the post. Anyone know anything about South Straddie? 'Er indoors wants to away there next week and let's be Frank here...
Annnddd nowwwww, the end is neeeaaarrr and so I faacccee the final curttaaiinnnn...
Thanks you folks, always good to get an impression in.
Back to Straddie. I know little of the place barring the fact that it was named after the great Earl of Stradbroke, and thus is actually pronounced 'Stradbrook'. The trouble & strife has been there some years ago, but has forgotton most.
So, anyone know of any good facilities there? the plan is to kip down on the tub, but use the facilities on the island, if they exist.
And I suppose I'd better give in to the voices and ask... anyone got any - spit spit, p'tooey - fishing tips for the area?
The fine Maria was good enough to hand over some oil in the chat room a couple of days back, but any other advice you lot have would be welcome.
Ta muchly.
