Loafer Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Tim and Pru are right now having lunch in the Wharf Cafe/Bistro at Foulridge. We saw a hire boat come south through the tunnel last night and wind then reverse back to moorings above the locks. This morning a film crew arrived followed shortly by Tim and Pru. Eventually they departed to go through the tunnel, we were to move today, so in my wisdom thought we would leave it sometime to follow. We left it 45 minutes or more and set off. We didn't take long to catch them in the tunnel and stopped for what seemed like ages. Wasn't an issue. We eventually came out of the tunnel and they had already moored up. The crew were apologetic if they had kept us waiting, they hadn't really. I find it interesting how filming happens, but I don't want to be seen as star struck. Tim said hello and smiled, but I guess he's fed up of all that. He seemed pleased to see us. Wondering now if that's the end for today. It's started to rain now as well. Martyn Nice one Nightwatch. I'd have forced them on board and demanded autographs and got them pissed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I was hoping there'd done that for us. Hey ho! They like their wine. I like fruit based drinks. As well as ale of course. We are now at Gargrave where I have drunk the dearest ale I have bought for ages. £3.45.mind we are in Yorkshire!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homer2911 Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) After seeing their episode on the Shannon Eyre waterway, we booked a week from the same boatyard, on the same boat used in the episode. It was chucking it down when we arrived, so we accepted their offer of a similar broadbeam with a metal canopy over the cruiser stern. A delightful experience on stunning waterways Edited July 16, 2017 by homer2911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting theoretical scenario. Do dogs like marmite? Or would they divide into pro and anti marmite factions and just attack each other leaving Mike to escape? To carry out this somewhat unethical experiment properly, we need X Factor on TV at the end of the compound Mike is running away from, raising the question of what the average rabid pit bull thinks of that. It would probably fit in well in the show's studio audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fine piece of light entertainment for a Saturday (and Sunday) night. Light and fluffy and nothing to exercise the brainbox. I’d rather watch that than spend an hour wincing as Tim plays Dodgems.

That's an unusual thing to program a function key to do.
