I've met...By your blog shall you be known :-) <br />I've met Maffi and I know he's a lovely chap, but the curmudgeon who writes the blog must be a different person entirely! If you choose to present a certain image or aspect of yourself to people who haven't met you and may never meet you, you can't be surprised if that's what they think you are like.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759448161130667128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247108.post-82791284863802592332010-12-03T02:45:50.014+00:002010-12-03T02:45:50.014+00:00I think bc blogs feel more personal, they tend to ...I think bc blogs feel more personal, they tend to have more grumpiness in them, as humans do tend just to remember & write down the annoying crap, bc you don't fuss when things work right, only noticing when they go wrong.<br />And there is often a built in cultural filter that stops us saying "I did a nice thing today".Wigginsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247108.post-42801324799526686002010-12-03T01:13:32.187+00:002010-12-03T01:13:32.187+00:00I have read Maffi's blog, but never met him.

No sooner as he knew this, he was bustling about on Millie M, and came back with the perfect bit of rope to attach to my anchor. He wouldn't take anything for it.<br /><br />It was then decided that PJ was just the person to tie knots, and in no time he was hanging over the bow of the boat putting it all together.<br /><br />(It's still there and I think of you all every time I spy it!)<br /><br />Mary P xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247108.post-87198005080889015232010-12-02T17:01:19.742+00:002010-12-02T17:01:19.742+00:00Maffi - thems wot takes the time to knowz him noze...Maffi - thems wot takes the time to knowz him noze wot a good geezer he is. <br />Maffi has a good heart and a true spirit and I respect him for it.<br />AndyAndy Tidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297448211000021970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247108.post-39120280735983797832010-12-02T16:21:40.988+00:002010-12-02T16:21:40.988+00:00Are you two sure sure you have the right Maffi.

When we moored near Milly M in Abingdon some years ago now he (and you in fact!) was so good to us, helping us find a good mooring, and coal etc. We are all entitled to a grumble now and then and Maffi says what he thinks on his blog, as he has a right to. But I always think of him as the good, kind man that he is.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13190832458135017656noreply@blogger.com
