hamster Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Unfortunately my Dad'a poorly so had to cancel. I will be moving the boat on my own from Gayton, near Nirthampton (just off the A43) to Weeding which is about a 15 mile 5 hour journey. I can manage single handed but it would be handy to have a first mate to take the tiller when I need a per or cuppa. Otherwise ill have to keep moorings up. Anyone fancy a free trip on the beautiful stretch of the Grand Union please let me know. You will need to drive there and get a cab back to your car and if you don't get cabin or hamster fever there's a spare bunk or two available. No single relapse, sorry but will consider a couple. Free food and beer/wine plus I will teach you all you need to know to handle the 63 foot beast. All mod cons. ASAP if you can, depart gayton 13:00 ish. Ta muchly. No stag or hen parties.
hamster Posted 1 July, 2011 Author Posted 1 July, 2011 Damned predictive text ..... No single females.
hamster Posted 2 July, 2011 Author Posted 2 July, 2011 BUMP Also available for Sunday, but that will involve working 7 locks....not for wimps.
spyinthesky Posted 2 July, 2011 Posted 2 July, 2011 Four of us did 19 locks (??) on the Birmingham ring several years ago so 7 is just a walk in the park As an interested observer, I would recommend 'canallling' (if this the correct term!!) to anyone. We had great fun and still dine out on our escapades during the week on a narrowboat
hamster Posted 2 July, 2011 Author Posted 2 July, 2011 /\ Lol... 19 locks FOUR crew. Not bad by gongoozler standards, but next time crack the whip a bit more. ;-) I will manage the seven by myself if I have to as there's a great stopping off establishment (pub) at the top. They are known as the Buckby Flight which is where we get the name of Buckby Can. BTW, kids welcome if their owner accepts full responsibility for them. Just to clarify, a week on a comparable nb at this tome of year would cost you between £1,200 +, making this opportunity a real steal. Thanks for the PM btw Mrs ntt, but no, Mrs.h will not be coming, just me on my lonesome. Mrs h joins me at Banbury on Tuesday.
hamster Posted 2 July, 2011 Author Posted 2 July, 2011 From experience boats do funny things.to women's libido. Thanks for the PM delldays, but no, I do not top and tail, you'd have your own bunk in the guest cabin. Note to self: fix lock on master cabin door.

Thedelldays Posted 2 July, 2011 Posted 2 July, 2011 when I read the title of the thread...I was not actually expecting to see an actual ride on a narrow boat on offer...

One lady heavily pregnant and my mate ratrher the worse for wear most of the time Would have been a cracking holiday if the weather had been kinder

hamster Posted 6 July, 2011 Author Posted 6 July, 2011 Coitous interuptus courtesy of two pugs, cheers reload. It'll keep. It now takes me all night to do once what we once used to do all night! Been shoulder deep in weils disease ridden canal water thanks to Mrs h ramming the boat into a lock full whilst chatting to a bystander, ducking idiot. That's another one she 'owes me', she is so gonna get it when she's least expecting it. Lucky girl. Dog, funny you should mention Zebrugge, that was my first wife's nickname cos so many men went down on her. Tomorrow, back to Weedon for a rummage in the antique shops for a Pembroke table. Perchance there a couple of guitarists playing The Bridge at Napton, where we is, who are walking the canals for some wildlife charity, very paolo Nutini, very nice. Later losers.
Deano6 Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 I have no idea what Hamster's going on about but I'm loving reading every single post.
egg Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 I have no idea what Hamster's going on about but I'm loving reading every single post. This. Funniest /weirdest thread in ages
dubai_phil Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Dear Hammy Sorry missed you (and LBA/ESB) at Cricketers, the intricacies of the Central Heating Control explanation on the Winne overran. Have a wonderful time, which I am sure you will do, gutted you went a week too late for me and soon to be officially Mrs D_P couldn't have joined you for some Locks & ales. Oh and if you come across any Newspapers just recycle them without blocking your chemical loo. Trust us, you will not want to read them
hamster Posted 6 July, 2011 Author Posted 6 July, 2011 My canal knowledge far exceeds my fading carnal knowledge now, alzheimers must be kickin' in. Good night losers.
hamster Posted 7 July, 2011 Author Posted 7 July, 2011 Woken by family of swans, very tame, almost eating out of my hand. Serene creatures but deceptively so, family of ducks waddled past and mummy swan attacked one of the babies! Would have intervened but went for my camera instead, just missed it, I'll be ready next time. Isn't nature wonderful. The gig last night turned into an impromptu folk music jam. Was ace. One bloke was going on and on about animal cruelty in other countries, had a big issue with Danish Bacon for some reason, not sure if it aimed at me and Mrs h munching through our buffalo burgers, cheese mushrooms and BACON oozing grease down our chins. Just made me wish I'd ordered the half-pounder if truth be told. Actually he looked like he needed a decent meal inside him, the weirdo. Mr Dubai Phil, congrats on the upcoming wedding mate. Cup of tea then back to bed, for some sleep. Hopefully pair up with some tourists through the next lock flight, tourists love doing locks, weirdos.
hamster Posted 7 July, 2011 Author Posted 7 July, 2011 And Phil, not watched tv or listened to the radio al week but did manage to glance over someone's shoulder for a sneaky update yesterday. I noted that the most newsworthy world event currently is that Cheryl Cole has been bouncing up and down on Ashley again, I love a bit of old fashioned romance I do.. Also Phil, for your information, it is the law of the canal that you pies in a bottle and shut in a pub, no newsprint on my arse cheeks fella.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 18 July, 2011 Posted 18 July, 2011 Is this you on your narrowboat Hammy?
hamster Posted 18 July, 2011 Author Posted 18 July, 2011 (edited) Nope, but this is dsm: Edited 19 July, 2011 by hamster
hamster Posted 18 July, 2011 Author Posted 18 July, 2011 before anyone asks, no, they are not implants...all me.
Saint in Paradise Posted 19 July, 2011 Posted 19 July, 2011 Nope, but this is dsm: That doesn't look like DSM to me ?
ericofarabia Posted 19 July, 2011 Posted 19 July, 2011 Doesn't that water look inviting ..... NOT!!!!
Lets B Avenue Posted 19 July, 2011 Posted 19 July, 2011 Nope, but this is dsm: Rodent has taken "Extreme Where's Eric?" to new levels. Sir, I salute you.
Dog Posted 19 July, 2011 Posted 19 July, 2011 WTF are you doing swimming in the rat infested canal? P.S. Nice boobies
ericofarabia Posted 19 July, 2011 Posted 19 July, 2011 Rodent has taken "Extreme Where's Eric?" to new levels. Sir, I salute you. Well you certainly won't find me up to my titties in a sewage overflow fo sure
hamster Posted 19 July, 2011 Author Posted 19 July, 2011 I wish I could tell you all that Mrs hamster had Just tossed me off. alas, the truth is that Mrs hamster had just ****ed the rudder on alock chamber cill, I had no choice but to go in. it was comfortably warm.

Without knowing anything about narrow boats, I would have assumed that the same rules apply, regarding womens driving. You only have yourself to blame trousers.
dubai_phil Posted 19 July, 2011 Posted 19 July, 2011 I note a disturbing attention seeking trend on this forum of members posing naked for photographs. All very well if Granty has a plan for some charity Calendar for 2012, but doing it on your opwn thread must be infractable at the very least. There are CHILDREN with access to this forum. Atticus, Supermikey (almost)....
dubai_phil Posted 19 July, 2011 Posted 19 July, 2011 That's better. Why when I see that pic do I think of that Monty Python sketch with The Gumby's Must be the arm positions & gormless expression.. Hammy - you just insulted a senior poser, oops poster
hamster Posted 19 July, 2011 Author Posted 19 July, 2011 Why when I see that pic do I think of that Monty Python sketch with The Gumby's Must be the arm positions & gormless expression.. Which one?
