Well I am so annoyed I thought I had some oars over and I had finished them but no, stupid idiot there are 32 PAIRS of oars, not 32 oars, now I have to order more of the steps to cut down for the handles, or I display it from one side only.

Hi all well I've got to do all 64 oars again, I ordered some more ladders to do the handles with ( ordered more than I needed as I could see them being usefull for other things) luckily I ordered the wrong bits.

Hi all well the advantage of taking my boss to have her hair done is it gives me 5 hrs sitting in the car, so I've bought a bag of oars and glue with me so looking forward to hours of glueing oars.

Hi all I've been racking my brains trying to think of a way to do the tassels round the canopy, I cant find any which match the cord I've done the flags on the mast with, so, I came up with this.


take a piece of double sided tape and stick it to a piece of paper

tack that each end to a lollipop stick

wind the gold thread round the lollipop stick

This is Epic Ken....... A really cracking job....... I have a question?........ What in the he'll does she have done to her Barnet that takes 5 hours for Christ sake?

[Guest]

Well it's not just her Barnet she shops as well, incidentally how much do you think it cost in Harrods, have a guess I bet you're no where near.

[takeslousyphotos]

A hair do in H.A. RRODS?......... £ 300 ????

[Guest]

That's closer than I thought you'd get 394 quid. And she has that about every 3 mnths. Looks no different to me when she's had it done.

[takeslousyphotos]

That is ridiculous....... Where does the money come from ?....... Is she "Old Money" or won the lottery or some-such ?

[Guest]

Old money her first husband was worth an absolute fortune, fleet of rolls own jet and helicopter, her husband she's with now is worth about 16 mil, he makes boots for the house hold cavalry got the by appointment to the queen, his boots start at 5000 and go up from there.

Bloody he'll indeed, and she can't afford a new mower, unless I hand my notice in, she spends about 2000 on qvc every week.

When I lived in America, I met a bloke worked for QVC...... His job was customer service, and he was tasked with keeping in touch with customers that spent more than fifty thousand dollars a year on their crap...... and that was twenty years ago.

[Guest]

She always says " oh their so nice I could buy lots more" I recon she's talking to him.
