  1. Bigger lures = even more photos in Coarse Fisherman of pike with massive trebles sticking right through their snouts and cheeks.
  2. So how do we get this next Ice Age underway then?
  3. Never mind about those poncey things. Where can you get a supply of the old yellow Fairy Liquid bottle tops? You always catch more fish on those than when using the red ones.
  4. Grayling - you can't trust them. They're snide, unreliable and can't even make their mind up whether they're coarse fish or not. Hanging's too good for them.
  5. I once tried to use superglue when float making, to stick a length of dowel into a hole bored in a shaped polystyrene body. I accidentally got a whiff of some yellowy brown fumes that were released and the feeling was indescribable. I honestly thought I had killed myself.
  6. In spite of it perhaps being untrendy to say so, I simply don't like Firefox and have never had any problem whatsoever with Internet Explorer. Unless of course, that is the reason why whenever I make a reply on this site, a quote from the previous post always appears, no matter what I do to the + or - state of the quote icon.
  7. The problem with your reasoning is that you seem to be taking a very ego-centric view of this, assuming that everybody agrees with you. What about people who read your viciously simplistic right-wing views and think that you are among the scum who the country ought to be rid of? Not so simple then is it?
  8. To the vast majority of the general public, just about everything is more important than a fish - as long as it either cuddly or has feathers (all raptors excluded).
  9. If you only want the information from them and aren't bothered about keeping the formatting, have you tried opening them with Notepad. Failing that, try making a copy and saving it with a file type of .txt. It might work
  10. .pub files? Lotus Smart suite? Don't you need one of the original Amstrads to be able to use those?
  11. Yes, but I bet most of it's crap I quite enjoy creating a compilation to play in my car according to the mood I'm in. I simply wouldn't want all the rubbish popping up all the time if it had everything and was set on random. If you have to burn the tracks you want onto a couple of CDs it concentrates the mind
  12. Why on earth would anybody want an mp3 player with 60 gigabytes of storage? Surely, 5 gigabytes would be more than enough.
  13. I suppose the obvious question is - Why would anybody want to?
  14. I never get any of this trouble with Internet Explorer
  15. Ignore it, it's the devil's work. I had to close down my Facebook account (can't think what possessed me to start it up in the first place), because I got cheesed off with all of the emails I was getting bombarded with, telling me that people who I had never heard of or disliked intensely, wanted to be my "friend". People also kept writing on my wall, so I had to tell them that if they didn't stop it, I would go round to their houses and spray paint their windows.
  16. At a wild guess, I would say that when he has booted up normally and then connected the television, he will then need to right-click on his desktop and bring up the control panel for his sound card (my NVIDEA one works like this anyway). He should then be presented with options for setting up a second monitor and if the TV is a plug and play one, the computer should be able to pick up its driver. Sorry, getting a bit woolly here, but I think that's sort of how it works
  17. I always thought that being politically correct meant that you were in the queue to dance on Thatcher's grave.
  18. I don't think the ET is notable for such witty headlines. "It's snow joke" is normally about the extent of it. They are probably now scratching their heads, wondering why they have received about 10 million hits worldwide for such a seemingly innocuous headline
  19. I think overtly camp people can be annoying, just the same as any other people who effect mannerisms that are deliberately intended to draw attention to themselves (perhaps I'm being a little unfair there). As far as I'm concerned, if somebody is gay it is entirely their own business, although I would hope they would be able to appreciate that being in social situations with their partners could easily make many people uncomfortable. It might not be fair, but that's the way it is. Under normal circumstances it shouldn't really bother anybody too much. What I think is really creepy is when certain people seem to think they have to display an extreme reaction to such people. You have to wonder if they are really trying to hide something by over compensating.
  20. You probably find it crap because it's the stuff in the green bottle that you want, not the stuff in the pink bottle. Woodland Fresh is the one to get.
  21. Any position you like, as long as you don't go in for that effeminate, pretentious pose of supporting the rod up the blank with two fingers of the left hand, while holding the butt of the rod in your right (or vice versa).
  22. Thanks for that link corydoras - it's more than I paid for the drill in the first place, but it's better than throwing it away. As for mending the lead, how on earth do you find out where the break is? And that's assuming that it really is where the problem lies.
  23. I have a Woolworths cordless electric drill and the lead seems to have broken that goes from the mains transformer and plugs into the base station. I was guessing that a replacement would be simple to find for about a fiver, but I'm damned if I can find one anywhere. I have a multi voltage one that will plug into it, but the maximum output is only 12v, whereas I need 24 for this to work. Does anybody know what key words I should be putting in, because "drill charger" and "24v transformer adapter" doesn't turn up any relevant results at all.
  24. I was simply astounded by the man's technique. I always thought that his fame was mostly due to him being a pioneer and had absolutely no idea that he was such an incredible guitar player. I'm sure my jaw must have dropped as I watched and listened to those old records.
