I want it

So do I. Imagine the parties.

VivaLeBeaver · 24/02/2014 20:48

There's a river in our village. I could moor it there and have gin fuelled flapper parties on the roof.

No mooring though - that's the expensive bit...

MoreBeta · 24/02/2014 20:54

Remedial work is required to the hull and you have to provide your own mooring. Both could be expensive.

It the Balliol college (Oxford) barge. My college (Corpus Christi) also had one. A student lived on it and had to maintain it as part of his rent.

Pimpf · 24/02/2014 20:56

Wow. How fab is that

VivaLeBeaver · 24/02/2014 20:59

One of my friends has mooring rights outside her house and no boat.....I could do a deal!

Wow

Awks · 24/02/2014 21:02

am lol'ing at the Oxford college rent barge deal. Didn't have that at Leeds Met :o)

TunipTheUnconquerable · 24/02/2014 21:02

Old boat maintenance makes old house maintenance seem almost a rational way to spend one's money. It is a hole in the water into which you will pour fifty pound notes.
Very, very beautiful though.

Fabulous. Another one, the old Jesus College barge, is now a restaurant -www.theboatatrichmondbridge.com/our-history/

Awks - we had a college tortoise as well.

You couldn't rent that but every year the undergraduates elected a tortoise keeper and they looked after it and in summer we had a tortoise fair and invited everyone in Oxford who had a tortoise to bring theirs. Many gentlemen tortoises met lady tortoises and many got lost in the shrubbery.

We also elected a Gardening Rep whose job it was to liaise with the college gardener.

I also notice one of the former students from my time is hoping to form the next Government. Grin

VivaLeBeaver · 24/02/2014 21:21

Yeah it's probably not very practical.

I've had old cars and vans which have depleted my bank account very quickly.

Probably currently covered in raw sewage after the local flooding...

VivaLeBeaver · 24/02/2014 21:52

Wow that is quite possibly the bestest bit of property porn i have seen on here, well spotted viva :)

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 24/02/2014 21:55

Wow!!! I want it.

We have lots of water up here, I'm sure I could find somewhere to keep it.

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 24/02/2014 21:55

Holy shitballs that is amazing!

VivaLeBeaver · 24/02/2014 21:56

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 24/02/2014 22:02

Oh viva! Why did you confess that?! You've just lost all your MN credit.

VivaLeBeaver · 24/02/2014 22:10

I love a bit of sleb gossip. I don't read any right wing news. I just want to know what Kim Kardashian and Baby Cowell are up to. Is that so wrong?

OP posts:
ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 24/02/2014 22:19

Is that so wrong?

What are you doing woman? Do you want to be hounded out?! Grin

VivaLeBeaver · 24/02/2014 22:32
