It takes all sorts - he's been on the system almost as long as I have, and probably handed a lot of ordure 'over time' ....

Have you ever met Tim? I have never understood the hostility which some people display towards him. I have known him for something like twenty years and have always found him to be polite, charming and generous.

I would not have said it if I had not met him. I speak by experience. In fact when I met him even David Suchet was embarrassed by Tim

I've always found him polite but shy.

iF you are talking about the weekend a few years ago, when David Suchet was special guest of honour at the historic Narrowboat rally. I was also there, and it is true that Tim was rather well oiled by late lunchtime, but even then he was far from rude, just a litte over flamboyant.

No it was before he came up with the historic rally

It was only thanks to him that we got our share boat back after a disagreement with the chap who ran the share company

Apparently Charles Dickens was not a particularly pleasant bloke. Doesn't devalue his writing though.

I had hoped the OP would have been of historical interest. Seems the thread has become a Tim Coughlan fest.

[matty40s]

Thanks for the link Ray, some interesting stuff and great pictures there.

[Nightwatch]

I read the diesel Dave article. What an interesting life. I like reading Tims stories.

 

I have to admit though that the 'service' in the shop needed some improvement last time I was there. I must have stood waiting to even be acknowledged that I was there for fifteen minutes. I exited stage left.

 

We drydocked there a number of years ago and whole experience was pleasurable.

 

Thanks for posting the link.

Apparently, Charles Dickens was caught up in a fatal railway crash, and suffered afterwards from what would now be called PTSD The fact that he continued to travel frequently by train to readings and events probably didn't help his condition.

Indeed he was - although obviously it wasn't fatal for him ? . It's an interesting possibility as to the effect on his character.

 

Headcorn in Kent from memory. Replacing a bridge between trains and didn't quite finish in time. Broadly.

 

Anyway the point was to draw attention to the nonsensical nature of the second post irrespective of the poster's personal view of the author. I also believe Isaac Newton wasn't a nice bloke either. His laws don't suffer from it.
