A VETERAN of the consistent four syndrome, with the very helpful clue. For me, the word veteran always conjures up images of the American soldiers who fought in Vietnam.

Thanks, Bill, I really appreciate your comment which is helpful, and yes he was certainly alright some three weeks ago when he wrote his last message. It is the here and now I am quite concerned about, and the fact there was no answer to his message and my reply.
Regards, Gary.

To (mturpin013) Mike, I received your PM quite a while ago and replied in kind as one does. As I have not seen or heard anything from you on here for quite a while I am quite concerned with regards to your health and family. Your very concerned friend. Regards, Gary.

That was a struggle as I had the word Bacon thoroughly imprinted on my mind. A long drawn-out FIVE, and now for a bacon roll as an reward for my epic struggle.

To EdW, may I kindly suggest that if you are going to post a comment as scathing as your last remark. Some explanation as to what you find so offensive would be helpful, as basically, this was very much a discussion on remembered childhood poetry.

Well, that certainly awoke some pleasant childhood memories of a nonsense poem that rhymes. As the good old-fashioned poetry tended to do, unlike the modern stuff. Looking on the good side none of us seem to be suffering from memory problems, which can't be bad everything considered. Regards, one and all, Gary.

Hi Wolfgang, and thank you as I appreciate your comments on my boats, the non Mountfleet model is an all wood plank on-frame model by Marvon Models from donkeys years ago. I understand the must have and being stupid syndrome, which is something I tend to do also. My last purchase being a TVR 1A steam engine on eBay, and I now need to find a suitable gas-fired boiler. My current build is a Clyde Puffer from Mountfleet and the progress is very slow, despite the fact it is almost complete. Check out My Harbour which hopefully you will find interesting as they all have steam engines. Regards, Gary.

Hi Wolfgang, and yes I have a little experience with Mountfleet and have built a couple of their kits, mind I find their ever-rising prices quite frightening these days. I think Mountfleet's weak points tend to be a lack of clear instructions and white metal fittings that leave a lot to be desired. The Britannia is very much a converted North Sea Drifter as in their Danny Boy model, as you can see for yourself with the photo. Good luck with the build and please do a build log, as myself and others will be interested with your progress and problems along the way. Regards, Gary.

I think we may have shared the same History teacher, as the two names I recognized were Stanley and Livingstone, plus Richard Burton in the film Cleopatra. John Hanning Speke's I have no recollection of whatsoever.

To be, or Knot to be, that was the question, very much stuck in the consistent four syndrome with clue.

Another case of the consistent consecutive conjecture syndrome, leading to a confused four.

Definitely suffering from shock, as I got it in TWO for the first time ever. Yes, I understand it was a nice easy one bordering on simple like myself. I am now in full-party mode and raring to go, quite where I am going I am not sure. I will make a start by taking my tablets???????????

A great boat with a great history, and definitely an Icon both then and now. A very nice job on both the windscreen and the front pulpit rail, and a real pity we can no longer use IC engines. It is like watching F1 with electric motors, it looks alright but lacks the sound and smell of the real thing. Do the best you can under the circumstances it is a beautiful-looking boat. Regards Gary.

To Doug, ANCHOR was definitely not a good starter word this morning, as it netted naff all. I am definitely well and truly stuck in the constant FOUR syndrome.

If only The Pilgrim Fathers had packed a few dictionary's along with their sandwiches, we would only have one spelling for the word HARBOUR. Apologies to our cousins in The New World across the water.

I'm stuck in a four-line needing the clue rut, which I can't seem to escape from. I am going to have to learn to live with the fact I am a bit thick, especially first thing in the morning. Mind, to be perfectly honest crosswords and Scrabble, were never my strong point. It is not all bad news as I do tend to do rather well with the quiz, 100% in the last month.

That was a hell of a struggle first thing in the morning, I managed to use every letter in the alphabet and finally cracked it on my SIXTH attempt. The clue should have read Old Ford Motor to give me a fighting chance.
