[Guilty, or not?]

Im just wondering, about the DNA thing. lets say the pigs did eat her, they are his pigs at his farm.. now the bit i dont know is, if your are eaten, and after a day, the pigs the do the natural thing of going to the toilet..would her DNA be about still....

 

Just a thought as i dont know much about the subject....maybe longtrotter would know abit more about this.

[Licence Dodgers]

The fines seem pretty small! Average about £33 plus about £60 costs for not having a licence that costs £24. That's hardly going to scare a lot of people into buying one is it? They only need to get away with it for four years and they are in profit! It's been a hell of a lot longer than four years since I last got checked.

 

i agree with what you said, i also think the numbers caught seems pretty low, as shown on posts on the forum from other members who have been concerned about illegal fish taking, from all parts of the country, to which i would guess they too have no license.

 

so lets say these people pay the fines, that would then emlpoy another EA officer and so on catch more and then pay for another officer. so like the speed cameras we love to hate, they become self funding.

 

Like you said about the level of fines, i have been checked once in 30 years, i sometimes fish three rods, i have two rod licenses, and i guess alot of the carp anglers may have the same when session fishing.

 

so alot of us are paying mor a year than what these people are fined.

[what do you reckon you slamon fisherman]

I didnt mind spending the 20. its worth it for the laugh, my wife can now call herself a lady, and we have a cat called princess, which she adores, the fishing thing does not appeal as im not into that sort of thing.

but the wife is great where my fishing is concerned, if i need it get it.

[pet insurance]

We're with Petplan. We've had to make three claims, once when one of our female cats needed a growth removed from her bum and twice with a blocked bladder in our tom. Each time they've paid up promptly with no quibbles.

 

Thats the one i have been recommended by the vet, it sounds good. an £80.00 excess, which is not to bad.

 

sean

[what do you reckon you slamon fisherman]

look here

 

what do you reckon to this, all for £20.00

 

my wife bought one, just to say she owned a bit.

 

sean

[pet insurance]

Im looking for a good company to insure our cat, there are so many out there, but has any on used one, and could recommend one.

 

Our cat princess means the world to my wife, and heavens forbid, if something should happen, i would like things to go smoothly for her.

 

our vet mentioned one, but then like alot of things, you dont know if there is some commision based thing involved, and whether they are really good or not.

 

so i thought the best people to ask would be you guys, if you have been unfortunate to have had to use one.

[how do i get an american to understand cricket]

I was having a great conversation with an american friend online. We talked over the usual differences, like health service and politics, the price of petrol here and that sort of thing.

 

Then we got onto sport...football he had a vague idea, when i started to call it soccer.

 

But the the crunch sport came, when he talked about baseball, great game i watched it every week through the season..

 

I then went on to try and tell him about cricket....11 a side, 6 balls an over, that part he understood no problem..

 

The parts that he could not understand was...the game starts at 11am. then break for lunch around 1pm, then break for tea around 4pm and then fishish the days play around 6pm.

 

And the game goes on for 5 days and usualy ends in a draw lol.

[expensive fishing gear]

correct basically all were sayin is the price of the rod does not matter as long as its a rod

 

So if i have a 2.75 test curve rod, £30.00, that will cast the same as a 2.75 test curve rod of £200.00 lets say

[munching]

I think im my opinion, its supply and demand, and if the demand is there, i think most fish could be farmed for the pot, rather than taken from waters for the pot.

 

Lets keep the stock levels good in our waters so we can enjoy this great sport of ours.

 

I am a fish monger and probaly half the fish we sell these days are farmed. rather than taken as free fish as some people call them.

[munching]

Just out of interest what was carp like, I read somewhere that in Japan it's quite common (no pun intended!) for them to be eaten. Then again, they do eat some weird stuff What would you liken it to?

 

The polish are probaly one of the biggest carp eaters, its their xmas dinner, where we have turkey, they have carp, and keep one of the scales from the carp, pop it into there purse or wallet as a good luck token for the year, probably like us with the wish bone on turkey.

 

sean

[expensive fishing gear]

I have read all the posts, and i am also a novice carp angler, someone mentioned about the casting distance, would this not be down to the test curve of a rod, and not down to the price of it. just wondering

[would you watch it]

Saddam has been sentenced to hang if aljazzeera( sp) broadcast it would you watch it

 

We wont see him hang, we will be lucky if that happens.

 

First of all, they will appeal and appeal. also, he is being tried for other cases, which have already started and are in progress, which means nothing will happen till those cases are resolved, then they will come up on appeal. and they a will appeal again and again.

 

He will die in one way or the other before that really happens.

[Halloween, Bonfire night]

Im just wondering one thing.

 

We dont put bullets on sale

Its illegal i guess to make a bomb.

You cant take liquids on planes.

we are more carefull of selling gas, or solvents to minors,

if one person is fataly killed while crossing the road, we put up speed cams.

 

All of the above we take strong measures to stop.

 

While on bonfire night, and the run up to it, many children are injured and loose fingers, eye sights and the likes. and stretch emergency services to the limit.

 

So why not ban the sale of fire works, unless its for a display, and by a licensed person.

[Learning to drive]

After all the good advice that every one has given you....pratice makes perfect as they say.

 

The one thing you will have to overcome, the main thing that will fail you is......Nerves.

 

Overcome that, use common sense, and you will have no problem.

 

Oh yes, and keep your test date quiet, saves putting pressure on yourself to pass.

[why cant gudgeon grow bigger.]

fished my local canal this morning, had some nice roach, when i could get past the gudgeon, i must have had 30 or 40. but for the size of them, they fight like a half pound roach.

 

so im making my dream fish, a 5lb gudgeon. pound for pound they have to be one off the best fighting fish.

[Help with catching Pike]

I am a entering a pike competition on Sunday and for a first time trying for pike normally sea fishing (mackerel bashing plus some experience fishing charter boats) this competition is going to be on a large lake from a boat, any handy hints?????

 

hi brownie points.

 

i have nver been pike fishing, but im getting into it this year through the anglers net members, i took the advice of experienced members, and have found someone to show me the ropes before i even think about going alone.

 

should you still decide to got it alone after the advice given, i think you will loose all those brownie points on anglers net.

 

best thing i could advise, is that you post, for help and some one to show you the ropes on here, there are many on here willling to help, and im sure you will find someone to fish with in your area.

 

then next year, you will have all the skills to go for the comps and enjoy them more no doubt.

 

well thats has been my method for this year
