talking about the clampdowns; it is a problem but the whole time ive worked on the canals, i never really saw BW being able to enforce moving boats on on the stretch we operate on. obviously they were somewhere as a good place to pick up a bargain is the BW boat auctions where they sell the reclaimed boats due to being unlicensed.

id love a dutch barge. was going to say they go for more like quarter of a million, until i looked at the advert again... doh

Can someone lay out how much these things cost, how they're financed etc? Not that I'm thinking of doing it, but I am curious about them. How much are boats? Can you get mortgages/loans? How much is mooring? Is it hard to find a place?

if you are looking for a higher quality boat builder (allen / steve hudsen etc) narrowbeam then you should put aside around £1500 per foot for a completed boat. my father built his from a shell he bought back in 1991ish for £8000. that was a 70ft which he built the inside himself. it did take him about 10 years though!

moorings are generally cheap. he pays £80 a month for his mooring as its basically only somewhere to tie a boat up and he is supplying the living space. the problem is getting a decent mooring. if you are looking at buying/renting, most come with their moorings.

places such as by victoria park which will be more popular have 7-14 day limits, as shops and water points are nearby but otherwise you can moor anywhere as long as your licence is up to date.

and yes you can get a mortgage for one. there is one in battlebridge basin going for 90k

diesel and gas you can pick up from working boats. nboats can use red diesel so you get it for about 65p a litre and thats your boiler and electricity sorted. and cooking on gas

RWC Final - 23rd Oct 2011 - Refereeing discussion from The Breakdown - YouTube

Talking of cheapshots. Check out Rougerie headbutting and then eye gouging McCaw just before the end. No wonder there was so little interaction between the teams at the end. Nasty ugly business!

i think i best retract my last comments. its ridiculous that this still happens at this level.

he always gets 'accidently' in the way in the rucks.

pre empting the drop goal

rougerie and menard has been fantastic. id put the money on france now. decisions have been going all nz's way. ive slightly jumped ship just because there have been a few cheap shots by the kiwis. mccaw being the main culprit

france are starting to believe. kiwis starting to choke......

could go either way

There's only 2, and I can see 1 of them.

I say round them all up and let members of the public from the affected area take a punch at their faces

Rozzers have been speeding down my road from Kingsland Road towards Mare Street for the last 5 mins.

More on their way by the sounds of things.
