  1. I'm afraid I'm going to give a response a lot less positive. I regard tattoos and piercings with revulsion and dismay, as a desecration of the body. Beautiful bodies are made ugly and ugly bodies are not improved. The same applies to primitive tribesmen as to modern faddists. Tattoo removal is a thriving business.

  2. Well, I found my inner arm pretty boring to look at before I got the tattoo, so if I find it boring again in 10 years' time, I'll be no worse off and I'll have had 10 years of pleasure meanwhile.

  3. Well I'm sorry this has now become all to complicated and I just cannot be bothered. I no longer have a boat so having to work this hard to find anything on this site worth looking at has become too much of a pain. Other forums that I am on, and they are many and varied, are no where near as difficult as this one has become. I think that someone mentioned that people will be leaving in earlier postings, well they are right. I'm off to find something easier to take my interest on the web. There are far too many pop ups and buttons here now

  5. Apologies if this is in the wrong section, I've been pulling my hair out this morning trying to find my way around the forum now and work out what button does what. I've spent all morning trying to find the 'View New Content' button. Now I've found it, it is scroll-a-rama. Is there any way of reducing the information on the screen? All i want to see is the thread titles on the screen. Now there is too much informationand you have to scroll like made. This is actually just one of many annoying things that are wrong with this new skin. I'd like to go on record as saying that i think it is bloody awful and needs simplifyingbig time.

  6. Rather than get into the nitty gritty of what constitutes use of a boat "bona fide for navigation throughout the period", I'll just make the pragmatic point that I always struggle to see why people find it so difficult and/or undesirable to comply with CRT's guidelines. I mean, CCers don't actually have to "travel 20 miles before turning round", as the petition author says, do they? They just have to move to a new place every 14 days and have a cruising range of more than 20 miles a year. So they could happily pootle up and down a 5-mile stretch during term time and do at least one longer cruise during the school holidays, which would be jolly good fun, an enriching experience for the kids, and cheaper than any other sort of holiday. Personally I think I'd be trying to do a week or two's cruising during the Easter and summer holidays plus a few days during half terms and the odd (bank holiday?) weekend, which would surely meet any criteria for "genuine" CCing CRT are ever likely to dream up.

  7. This might be a new one for CWDF, but since it's waterways-related, I thought I'd share a pic of my newly-completed tattoo. The background was just added yesterday, which is why it looks darker than the heron. Why do I have the feeling I'm lighting the blue touch paper here? Oh well...

  15. The OP shared his tattoos and implicitly expected feedback, even some negative feedback - "I may be lighting the blue touch paper here" was the phrase. Of course if I meet someone with tattoos I don't come out with "I don't like tattoos." However, anyone with any perception would detect my distaste. I am not alone, as public-facing jobs often require tattoos to be covered. Employers aren't doing this just because of their own opinions.

  17. I've never understood the need to say "I don't like tattoos" when someone shares their new ink. If we went about expressing everything we don't like about each other, life would get pretty grim.

  19. I've got a pair of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/tattoo-sleeves Gives me the best of both worlds, as I can take them off when I no longer want to he inked look. Mind you they do have a habit of sagging like Nora Batty's stockings

  20. you are so, so right. Unfortunately there are no longer any emoticons available to clap or say 'cheers', and neither are there any to bang your head.. I have never found a forum that is not simple to use intuitively, until these changes appeared on CWDF. it's all very well for Dan to explain how to change the settings, but casual visitors aren't going to do that. They will simply visit, once, find it's all too much bother and never return. Who are all these changes supposed to help, anyway? Are they just the hobby/brainchild of some IT nerds?

  21. Nigel Without wishing to get into a long and protracted discussion where two parties have differing views I would like to make a couple of points 1. The use of Rye Harbour / Anglia and Medway are fairly irrelevant as they are not mainstream waterways 2. The disparity on licencing costs I agree will have to be a mediated and balanced settlement but why should the owner of a pair of boats pay 2 x that of an equivalent wide beam When the current licencing policy was introduced there were not the nuber of wider than narrow craft on the water than now , so a fair and balanced solution is to find a balance point between revenue and style of boat The EA (THames) policy is in my opinion a fair one but those who own widebeams will say its unfair No win win here for anyone as we will end up paying more to whichever licencing authority we are bound to Chris

  22. Well, I like it! It's a nice 'hat tip' to the beauty of this world, rather than something aggressive... I do have a couple of tattoos, so maybe biased...but I don't regret having mine done 40 years ago!

  23. Private marinas are NOT Trust's waterway. The Network Access Agreement does not give CRT ownership rights over the marina. CRT have no legal enforcement rights inside a marina. CRT have no legal right to a licence or the fee, unless a boat makes use of the Trust's waterway. A marina's terms and conditions, requiring the possession of a licence, do not constitute statutory powers of enforcement. As with PPI, the consumer is being forced to buy the unnecessary. Both marina and CRT are acting in their own interests and not in the interests of the consumer - the moorer.

  25. I certainly wasn't making any judgements, I just don't understand the appeal of "body art". I personally prefer the beauty of the un-inked human form. If that's a judgement rather than just a preference then surely your approval is also a judgement? By posting a picture of his new tattoo on the forum the OP seemed to be asking for feedback. My apologies if that was only limited to positive responses.

  28. It's a nice job, but why not just hang a picture on your wall? I mean at least then you could take it down when you get bored of looking at it in 10 or 20 years.

  37. Well it just irritates me when folk pipe up citing "BSS failure" and "highly dangerous, desist" type comments without actually being aware of the regulations or the risk issues. Scaremongering. Perhaps it is a means to make them feel important and superior? Or just bullying?

  38. Mrs Oyl could make herself less attractive for when blokes turn up to examine her, her electrics that is, by not washing for a few weeks, wearing an old oyly duffle coat, railwaymens chest warmer trousers, Sou'wester and sea boots and false beard complete with a pair specs with cracked lens, repaired with elastoplast with an arm missing, replaced with a bit of knitting wool belayed around an ear and smoking plug baccy in an old charred pipe. Ha yer got a loit boy.
