The Neverending Thread

Putting things into perspective and setting aside the troubles on the Skyline site.

One of the regulars on both Skylineowners.com and GTROC, along with the Seat Cupra site lost his life a couple of days ago.

Known as 'Lucky 32', Chris was a well respected member of those clubs/sites and will be sorely missed by his family and friends.  Sadly taken at 36 in a car accident while driving his Skyline on the A23.  He came from the Haywards Heath area.

My sincere condolences to his family and his friends. RIP.

Rhys.....you need a holiday mate.....a very very very very long one

I did notice that you had been talking to yourself a lot in there Rhys...starting to wonder if you require some sort of psychiatric assistance for the problem...

I don't care if my front garden goes back to the sea...just means less grass to mow each fortnight 

We have had a gloriously sunny day here although quite chilly and still very breezy.  Everytime a ship goes past another lump of wall falls off, kinda know how people in quaint cottages in tiny villages feel now when damn great artics rumble by 


Good evening Mr White Van Man, btw

Another 40ft of wall/walkway went today along with huge cracks in the gardens about 25ft from front door.  Landlord is coming to see the damage for himself at the weekend, not having met him before could be interesting.  Council are not helping to do even temporary repairs although the walkway is part of the IOW Coastal Heritage Path.  Might enquire with English Heritage and National Trust to see if they can help cos the cost of repairs is now running towards over �200k.

In respect to sandbags, I have them across the back of the hut due to the river breaking its banks during last winter.  But at least the council do supply them and they are free of charge.

Living so close to the sea really does have more than the expected problems, specially when backed onto a river and the sea is trying to reclaim the land infront

flippin' awful weather..
Do you think you will get flooded Ally?
(sandbags at the ready.. )

My senile computer is throwing tantrums this evening for some reason..very annoying  

You deposited it when overflying from Spain, didn't you, Mark ????

Did anyone else get woken up by the violent thunderstorm at 0450 this morning?

30 minutes of absolute hell broke loose, heavy rain, hail, high winds, thunderbolts and fork lightning.

Thought the roof would be gone by the time I got up, but no, fortunately the roof remained intact...however....

80ft of the wall dividing the chalets from the sea plus the 6ft wide concrete walkway behind the wall has now fallen into the sea.  My section of the wall is still standing but is severely damaged and is likely to go within the next few days if this weather keeps up.

Rang the council who were as helpful as ever, despite the walkway being a listed public footpath, they have yet to arrive and fence it all off.  The grass area now has huge broken slabs of concrete and an 8ft drop at the end of it.

And we haven't even got into the real winter storms yet....looking very promising...not
