  1. Anyone remember the fishing tackle in the Freemans (and most back then) catalogue ,i bought a sealey blue max (i think that was the name) nice rod l,not the lightest but a well built thing ,i went on to get the blue max2 . It seemed everyone and his dog sold tackle i have a marks and sparks fishing book somewhere but far to expensive to even enter if they sold fishing tackle itself Some reels on aliexpress look good ,i may invest when my 1970`s stuff wears out
  2. I forget all grammer and .... writing stuff . I left in the third year lol The second week is up thursday whats to bet another email will be "triaged" it probably means trashed and forgotten . If they annoy me again i will insist on a home visit or more probably will not have the option of going in person the last thing i need is getting caught short in a taxi ,thats a big bill on top of the £30+ fares
  3. Update the "forms " craziness is getting worse . I recently started an online "consultation" i included my ongoing bowel problem and added once more this strange agonising stabbing pains in my upper body and muscle pain (no joke if i do anything for 5 mins my muscles burn like its been doing hard labour all day ,a sit down and its gone in 10 mins and it starts again once i carry on) could be Diabetes related (both could) but writhing in agony for 5 minutes after a meal isnt really normal is it? .Rushing to the loo isnt really normal and sudden really low BP isnt normal either ,i probably didnt have blood pressure that low when i was a teenager never mind a 70 year old ex smoker whos only excecise is using a treadmill a few times a week. Filled in the forms ,most boxes were pointless "what help do you think a doctor could be" was the most pointless i am not needing a plumber but medical opinion. And other ones that should already exist in my notes so pointless refilling it everytime you try to get an appointment It came back several hours later ,you have been Triaged please get back to us if you dont hear from the surgery in a week. A week came and went so i emailed the surgery (nope i am not going to pay to sit and listen to 5 minutes of crap telling me not attend if i have covid and other pointless advice then ghastly lift muzak until some receptionist finishes its makeup and answers) and waited .usually a phonecal comes within a hour to sort out an apointment . Hooray the system gets back to me "you have been Triaged please get back to us if you dont hear from the surgery in a week" Now this is deliberate its not AI on an app its an email response from the staff at the surgery to me .Somethings gone desperately wrong in the west (not just here but Europe and the USA) ,could it be our new arrivals getting priority or something more ? I didnt read about all the doctors dying and the NHS isnt short of money they still buy art and instal tech thats never switched on so its not that .Perhaps its thinning out the spare non productive population like the deliberate execution of the old in nursing homes by mixing two drugs to "help" those poor folks drowning in their own saliva having covid thats been known to be deadly for years . Whilst newly arrived chaps from africa should get paracetamol for their headaches from their 24/7 on demand doctors us brits should be head of the queue,how times have change since we just turned up and took a ticket and was seen an hour or two later to now a decade later when you go on a list to join a list to perhaps join another one.
  4. My magpies are unhappy theres fewer blackbirds this year but theres hope yet in a late brood ,the male blackbirds are more occupied attacking each other than looking for sweet sweet cloaca by the looks of it . Birds are down but mice up killed 5 in 2 days in the sheds ,bloody chewy devils you cant eat plastic seats for f sake Lots of deer about. 5 in the field 10 feet from fence and one male last night stamped his foot at me as i closed the gate stoping the ****ers eating whats left of the roses they scoffed the night before! They eat quince flowers aswell i spotted 3 coming in the garden going straight to the hedge to scoff them
  5. It must have been a big pond to take 3 years to remove it lol
  6. If it falls into the wrong hands i will ,with the influx of Vietnamese illegals theres a profit to be made
  7. How the F do you land it ! My best is 39lb from over 20 years ago that tiddler snapped my net frame bugger knows how you drag that beast out!
  8. Chocolate pandemic ,is there a WHO lockdown on the horizon PS keep it quiet or my mrs will be stockpiling crates of kitkats
  9. My mrs has had 3 replacement knees! one was knackered in 11 months its replacement is half knackered ,shes on crutches but only had a stick pre op! (There was 6 months of fun pushing her about between left leg and right leg.) Our friend had two and can now run! Unfortunately removing the second knee did far more damage than its predecessor had pre installation . (Err confusing myself now) To stop confusing myself her story is left knee was bone on bone and it was replaced by surgeon 1 ,all is fine . Right knee was bone on bone and replaced a year after the first by surgeon 2 ,it failed 11 months later (came loose in the bone at one end and in the mean time had become obselete ) After 6 months in a wheelchair (just realised she was wheelchair bound twice ,tip you can hire them free from the red cross ) knee two was inserted but removing the other bit in the bone caused lots of damage both to bone and nerves .Knee not right and with damaged nerves means she doesnt know where her knee or foot are so needs crutches to stop her tipping over ,tried sticks but not enough support unless on perfectly flat surface ,unfortunately outside the home in reality nothing is perfectly flat and much fun is had watching re-runs of her falling Unfortunately theres videos of me falling over tripping or in the case last week tripping over a bit of wood i carefully propped up so ii didnt trip over it .Covered in bruises (blood thinners dont help) and more scrapes on side of face than the local drunk discovering a crate of Guinness in a ditch. Luckily i bravely saw in slow motion a close up of tarmac scalpings bravely using my head to slow my fall incase i broke my hip . My right knee is getting painful and our new treadmill isnt helping you just cant bloody win !
  10. Nothings pointless except if its a broken arrow .i for one miss looking at fish i will never catch or never better .
  11. A modern android pad will work fine ,most of the problem is the android version can no longer function for some apps.My old pad could no longer use the 'Capta' (the things that asks you to tick on cars or crossings etc to verify your a human) so signing in on some things impossible . Used it to put games on for grandkids and bought an up to date one. Never owned an apple device ,the knowledge that you dont own it (as in the company can remove its service anytime)and its deliberately programmed to fail if they want it to over the air via updates should make people very wary ,saying that my sister loves hers and her job revolves around it is another side of the story.Another naughty thing is some of their tech only works with the latest phone forcing you to hand over a grand just to use their watch ! Never understood using a mobile phone to browse the web either ,you must be missing a great deal using that rather than a 10 or 12" tablet and that onscreen keypad is so tiny aswell my fat fingers enter the wrong letters on this pad as it is lol
  12. Perhaps a whole body botox would be nice ? Not sure i get your drift though bacon can be made without additives i used to sell half pigs thats only additive was smoke . Perhaps the nitrite side isnt for safety but to give the excuse to inject the water that carries it ,more water more profit . A top tip to see how much water is injected into your food is to freeze it and see how much free water there is when defrosted ,a pack of sliced ham has a great deal ,more water more profit . Are nitrites needed at all or just an excuse ,parma ham is pork theres no additives apart from salt and it hangs about for months .Bacon lives in fridges so less chance of toxins in the short time between killing and eating the most dangerous bit would be the £2.50 an hour romanians that produce it gobbing on it, nitritaes aint going to protect you from that hazard. On retrospect £2.50 could be the manager of the run down factories wage !
  13. Not my favourite my gran on my dads side (a genuine cockney) offered it but one bite later i gave it back .Dripping not so bad we still use it for frying although the over the counter version is a sad bland relation nearer lard in constitution. Drew the line at jellied eels as well my mothers side of me probably had inbuilt dislike of sucking bones in my mouth to get a morsal of meat ,remove the meat from the bone ..fine! There seems to be this correlation though in the video to oils but lifestyle has changed aswell .Back then you chose what went in your food and today unless you cook like they did in the past the foods pumped full of poison whether you want it or not.Take bacon theres no need at all for nitites or nitrates being injected into it (mostly to bulk it up and make it weigh more (nitrates? Is now gone) bacon can be made without any additives other than smoke but those with low incomes cannot afford that so they eat what they can get.Why the need for sugar or salt in products leave it out and leave it up to the consumer to add it if they want ,same for half of the additives are they really needed or just there to make processing cheaper by innjecting taste into food like chicken stock cubes to make chicken taste like chicken because its so bland today as the chickens rarely eat natural food. I predict in a short while additive(s) X or Y will suddenly will found to be killing millions because governments cannot be arsed to look after people checking the science behind it.Most probably they already know and brown envelopes and greed keep them quiet ,why would they care so long as they can afford the expensive clean stuff (probably on expenses) Could explain this suddenly strange world we now inhabit somethings causing it perhaps something put in the food or water to dissolve the brain so we can be controlled easier but going by the recent demonstrations its back fired and the bit of the brain that controls common sense and the realisation of consequence of your actions has dissolved away and the idiot bit amplified.
  14. Mostly it uses rise of obesity ,heart disease agaist rise of uses of seed oils .interesting bits about different types of food intake ,high fat diet ,high carb diet people having perfect body type because they dont use oils in their diets . Japanese diets where japanese are gaining weight despite using less sugar and still rising as oil use rises compared to less bad things traditionally pointed at as things that make you put on weight. The only other reason not mentioned is the burning of calories ,i have always been suspicious of the 2,500 calory bit, is it based on victorian men beating in rivets on ships 18 hours a day or office workers typing or today in more sedentary work? .Perhaps the total calorie intake of modern man should be reduced to 1500 calories to take less strenuous work of modern times. There is also heavy pressure from food manufacturers to force scientists to ignore science ,one lot of scientists funded by industry calling anyone not supporting or countering their version of science as "deniers" just like scientists that point out the flaws in climate change are are called "deniers" in an effort to get them ignored and even despised and their version of reality hidden. All the time money rules manufacturers will say anything to get money ,we should look at the lies from the past but money wins and the world suffers through greed and the unwillingness of governments to stop it. One company was asked about something (would have to look again to pin it down) to prove their product wasnt bad for the user they said they could only find 'poor ' research and not enough to prove anything ,infact 43 bits of research disproved what they said .It seems they can say anything and its rare any third party actually looks to see if its true ,its just excepted as true because they said it. They dont give a damn if its lies just like the post office didnt give a damn knowing full well their system was faulty ,only when people looked into it did things change .
  15. I had the suspicion palm oil was suspect but like lots of our supposed good for you stuff its probably pushed (probably retracted ,definately top of the list ) by those that make them . For those with heart conditions animal fat is a no-no and margerine pushed as a alternative good for you ,lard is suggested as bad and oil good butgoing by this its the opposite .I for one use dripping but do use olive oil in bread once my stock has gone it will change! Ofcourse oil is pushed as good for you on all the bottles ! Remember smoking was good how times change ! Hopefully those in power will restrict oil in food . Bad things .....Sugar little or no control over that besides raw materials unfortunately . Salt no control over that besides raw materials although my mrs has to use it and take electrolites as her body has low salt (when will that be found wrong?) Confused about flour though one of the tribes has a very high carb intake and seems fine . Oil no control other than looking for palm oil (now if its true any seed oil!)which could be hidden by not showing it in the ingrediants Plant sterols ? More evidence they are bad for you than safe ! The stats he shows are shocking ,we are far sicker than we were in the past we should be improving not declining. Now LDL is being questioned is low good ? We wait to hear ! (Ofcourse the statin suppliers will object its making money flogging pills supposed to lower it!) BMJ 2015 "the more the men lowered their cholesterol the more likely they were to die from cardiovascular death" strange its never mentioned .The USA dietry guidlines say low fat is good with STRONG evidence was revealed only 7 of the results of clinical trials proved this the other 93% didnt find evidence to support it
