I won
« on: 13 August 2008, 18:56:10 »
I won my Ebay kayak.

What a job though.  I've been to Coniston today on a steamer and no way would I be back for 3.15pm when the auction ends.

So as the wife likes tea rooms I found a nice one on the side of the lake - a cyber cafe  ;)

Jumped off the boat, postcode in satnav, 25 mins to go 4 miles, sorted :)

Not! :(  Miss bloody daisy at 15 mph at best took 20 mins to get to location, lost phone signal after 5 mins, but still on track :)

Not!  :( Country post codes and satnav >:( Now I'm stuck up a muddy lane with no chance.

So we ran to the lake, got a signal, I bid via my mobile whilst my wife phoned the teenager next door to steal it with 32 seconds to go :o

What a day  :y  :)

Well I only bought it to commute to work in.  These Omega's are crap in the snow.

This is my house in winter  ;D

You've got it all wrong Mark. You use a kayak for travelling on water and a sled for the snow.

I like to be in the game myself.  Then slap in a huge bid in the dying seconds.

It's fun and stressful at the same time.

I think I'm an adrenalin junkie :-[

I was saying to the wife last weekend, I spent almost 30 years in Chester and knew it like the back of my hand, but I haven't been to look around the place for over 10 years (I go to Sealand Road and Saltney weekly) and I miss it. She said we will have to spend a weekend there soon although I only live 20 miles away we will stay over and have a few to many beers  ::)
