Oh no, you are not getting into wooden boats are you?I was researching caulking…
No chance. I’ve watched a friend do that. It’s rather like watching someone slowly go mad…Oh no, you are not getting into wooden boats are you?
I’m still recovering from near 40 odd year addition to them. I shall bear the scars into the grave….
Actually, cauking is just hard work, the real fun starts when applying the molten pitch - on the bottom seams, which means you are crouching under the boat, trying to get the (very hot) pitch to go into the newly caulked seam over your head. Guess where the splatter and the excess pitch ends up? The burn scars make interesting patterns on your skin though. Who needs tattoos when you have a wooden boat?No chance.

Ah, can I suggest caulking and boiling pitch?I have a wooden boat I cannot keep water out of, and a wooden hot tub I cannot keep water in
The "amateur" picture reminds me of an exaggerated version of Henry Cole on his "Motorcycle Show" programme (shown in the UK), where on a gentle corner he hangs off the motorcycle totally without reason, looking like a real knob. Why does he do that?
In fact I don't mind him generally and knew about his heroin addiction and childhood issues but I didn't know about him being a war correspondent in the Balkans. It's just when he hangs off a nearly upright bike...!He is very ‘Marmite’ but if you read his background - former heroin addict, war correspondent in the balkans etc. then you have to consider the boy done good. I’d like his money too. But yes, you’re right he rides like a knob

If his background had been working class I would agree but with a very privelidged background, ie Eton educated, great great uncle a Prime Minister whose father was one of the largest slave owners in the British Empire so not a poor family, I don’t think so. Apart from that I can’t stand him!
