Rich, don't know if you recall "Shantys" - the pub next door to the castle in Yarmouth? He got done last year for smuggling £8mill worth of heroin! He'd tied it to a bouy in the solent and it was discovered by the coastguard. Think he got 5 years inside! Big news for little Yarmouth at the time!

Wow i don't recall seeing that one, but what a story. £8mill. Was it supposed to be picked up by someone then? Why didn't he just use a little boat and hop it over to the mainland himself.

Rich. Took these this morning (Sun 17th Ap). Went into Yarmouth for a stroll around with the missus. You should recognise them!

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Looking Good. Harbour Lights thats the Cafe. The sun always shines in Yarmouth.

 

[Houchens Head]

It's red hot here again today My missus moans coz I have a permanent suntan!
I'm off fishing from the peir tomorrow. Can't wait!

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

When I was down there at the end of September I was on the phone to coventry and it was p*ss*ng it down. I was in shorts and t-Shirt. I love it down there and if my missus would let me I'd be working in Newport now. My company own Moreys so there is always space for me to transfer.

 

[Houchens Head]

Moreys the builders in Medina Ave, Newport?
You should get a transfer down here Rich! You'd love it! The winters a bit shite though - everything closes!

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Moreys Builders Merchants in Newport. I'd love to move down there, but the other half won't go.

[Houchens Head]

I done the 3 Peaks Challenge about 18 years ago (when I ws younger and fitter!!). Snowdon, Scafell and Ben Nevis - all in a week-end. Raised £18,000 for Baby Lifeline at the time. What a killer that was! Still got some pics somewhere.

Smooth-hound shark caught from the pier!

 

[derbyskyblue]

It all looks very nice hh. Its fair to say i'm a tad envious.

 

[Houchens Head]

Really not gloating DSB. It's just that I've always worked and now, after 45 years, I have retired! And why stay in Cov for the rest of my natural? It's great down here. If anyone is heading here for a break, let me know and we can always meet up for a pint!

 

[derbyskyblue]

Will do hh, mind you we have some lovely scenery up here in the dales, gonna have to get my camera out as well.
