i like the blowing up ants one

"i smoke for queen and country!!!" the only reason you lot dont smoke is because your to scared!

a few quids worth there!!!

certainly makes you wonder. they seem very good at giving money away to poor countries whilst they have plenty of needy on their own door step.

they spend all their money on building up their armed forces whilst the uk tax payer pays for their health and schools?

if any one is interested the smoking ban has started here now. i thought the french would of stuck 2 fingers up at it but all the bars and tabac's around here have no smoking signs on the door's, have ditched the ash trays and no one is smoking. will be interesting to see if any of the little bars around here start closing down.

nice big growling dog, best deterrent going!

you have just reminded me of how lucky i am to be fishing here in the wilds of france, no worry of being mugged here. mind you, i am quite sure that i heard a wild boar behind me the other morning

i sometimes livebait and i am not that comfortable with it, i give them 20 odd minutes (lip hooked) and if i have not had a take i let them go. i find my behaviour quite amusing and i know that it all boils down to having a guilty conscience and that when you really think about it, the question always arises whether you should even be fishing in the first place if you feel that badly about live baiting. i also find that i end up having more fun trying to catch the live bait!

well said kleinboet

when i was a kid i was in a gang and we used to roam the streets. we did not carry knives or guns and we never named our selves. we used to get into scraps and if you was unlucky you got a bit of a hiding. today if you come out of a scrap with just a bit of a hiding you would of been lucky. what have the kids got today that we never had? rap music, the whole gang culture springs from that american crap!

dont even have to think about it, maggrots for me as well, preferably in red

i was fishing a trout lake with a wet fly when i got in a big mess up. as i was sorting it out the fly was just resting in the margin of the lake. when i sorted the tangle and lifted the rod up there was a small carp attached to the fly!

i once caught the same eel 4 times in about an hour. i was fishing for tench with maggots, i knew it was the same one as i had to keep cutting the line as it was swallowing the bait out of sight. after the 4th time i packed up and went home. what an amazing fish they are, i named him jellied

i used to use a fresh thick sliced cut loaf, pull a chunk off and really squeeze it hard on to the shank. in rivers i used to find that even when the fluffy bread had gone there was normally the bit that had been squeezed tight on the shank remaining. i reckon crayfish will have a go at bread, they eat just about everything else!

i reckon a hair rigged crab stick, that is sort of finger shaped, could be quite awesome

sounds like a terrific day, a 12oz dace is a cracking fish! the only place i used to catch them that size regular was the kennet. and another convert to the pin, the first time i used one i could never trot again on the stick with a fixed spool. as you say, if you have not, give it a go!.

i think kylie deserved a gong for her part in doctor who xmas day, let alone whatever else she has done

best, levellers, last gig of tour, played like it was the first ub40, saw skineads, mods, rastas and all sorts, all dancing together, magic! teardrop explodes, weird and awesome. worst, haircut one hundred, couldnt play or sing. alabama3, what a load of political crap! shame, take that out and they would of been good.

:D

nice pic ayjay! i can not see god, but i can certainly see a little spaceman in the top right hand corner

yorkio did you grow up in the same manor as me!!!! passingford bridge is where i did my fishing apprenticeship! we used to catch bullheads just up the road from there at the little ford on the road to abridge by the airdrome. does the 250 bus bring memories to you?
