not a slalom question, but hoping some of the c1 paddelers may be able to help.

I have a playboat that I am trying to fix footrests in, but if I swim they just fall out, but it is only when I swim, they stay in for ages unless that happens.

any ideas helpful.

Don't swim!

..........just float man, it's transcendental

If the beavers get the foam they eat it. Have you ever seen a beaver foaming at the mouth, I have it ain't pretty they don't like being riled.

And we're back to beavers. I will see out 2010 with a beaver reference if I can

I saw a beaver that had been shaved the other day! It did not look very happy.;)

James,
Try using unibond contact adhesive - the non environmentally friendly stuff. It worked for my boat.

Or put on loads of weight like me and then you can't get out anyway

If you follow the glue option you could use any that was left to stick fur back on beavers

I just don't want to know were you get glue for sticking beaveer back together, although it probably exists.

thanks.

Sticking fur back onto beavers is a messy business. They are often even more angry than when you shave them!

It is but you need to be careful as it can be very potent! As everyone knows it is strong enough to stick babies together.

I love our language, it's almost designed to play with. Is there another in the world that offers such chance?
