  6. If you turn it the other way up, and sharpen the inside edge .. Lopping tree branches ? (By hook or by crook). Or sharpen the outside edge ... A whale blubber knife ?
  7. Nearly as bad as once when Danny and I travelled over 100 miles for him to take some shots that he had been planning for some time only to find upon arrival that he had forgotten to load his camera with a 4GB microdrive, and he had no spare CFs on him !! No pictures that day !! T*sspot indeed !!
  8. "I hereby dedicate my Photographic Diary of Australia in Dannys memory,thanks for everything Danny" Thank you very much for that Snatcher. I know that when you first started your "Ozzie Adventures" Danny was amused and enthralled, but above all he was very impressed by your pictures and your presentation of the saga. Were he here today I know that he would have been the first to congratulate you on an excellent job very well executed. Susan.
  9. Keep the space bar pressed down all the time .... Cheat ! Still didn't improve my score though !
  10. Nice long exposure night shot Snatcher !! A very worthy winner !
  11. Very nice pictures, and even nicer fish !
  12. The vote for the "Picture Of the Year ? Or has it been cancelled ? It would be a shame if it has. Danny was just on the point of setting it up when he had to leave us .....
  13. One of our favourites as well. Danny and I often used to pull in at the "Plughole" when we were out on bike runs around Derbyshire, mainly to visit the toilet that used to be next door !
  14. Don't know about your mount Elton, but may be worth keeping an eye on this .. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Jessops-Atlantic-Alf...%3A1|240%3A1318

  16. Hello everyone. As I did a bit with the competitions whilst Danny was in hospital I know a little about what goes on, and am quite willing to help if I can. I am spending a lot of time alone at the moment and it may give me something to occupy my mind, as long as it is not too much. If I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.
  17. It was 37 years ago when Danny walked into my life. I was alone with two small children, and very lonely. From that point on if anything threatened me or my children, no matter what shape or form, Danny was always stood in front of us ready to take the blows. He was a Yorkshire man and a biker, and they do not come harder than that. I know very little of his early life, but what little I have learned tells me that for Danny it must have been a terrible time indeed. It took me over 20 years to finally break through the granite wall that he had built around himself. What I found was a man who would fight with passion for what he believed in, but was at the same time unstinting in his kindness and generosity and devotion. And although he never said those three words that all women want to hear .. I know. His grandchildren lovingly called him “Big Bear”. ------------------------------ AnglersNet was a continuous source of joy for Danny. Many was the time when I would find him in tears of laughter at some silly joke that had been posted up, which he would insist on passing on to me. Or showing me a photograph and saying “This chap is coming on in leaps and bounds !”. I feel that I know many of you personally through the names that he used to quote all the time. I will not name you, to spare your blushes ! I have read all your kind thoughts and messages, and have been greatly moved. You have brought a little warmth into a dark time for me.. To all of you I say thank you for being his friends, and for allowing him to share a little of his life with you. ---------------------------------- Danny’s ashes have been scattered upon the waters of the river Fowey estuary in Cornwall on the outgoing tide, along with a single red rose. To me he was, and always will be, a giant among men. Susan.
  18. Hello everyone. I have just received word from the specialists at the hospital that Mr Wiggly will be released tomorrow (Thursday), and I can collect him in the afternoon. His stay was extended by a few days because the physiotherapists had to impress upon him to “slow down” because he was trying too hard, and too fast. As they put it “Trying to run before he could walk” ! He will have to make frequent visits to the physios for some time. He will still have to use the wheelchair when he becomes tired on the crutches, but my guess is that it will not be long before that chair is thrown on the scrap heap !! The specialists and surgeons have expressed their surprise and delight at the speed of his recovery, and at the resilience and determination that he has shown considering his age, and have described him as a “model patient”. They have even awarded him a “I was good at the hospital today” badge !! My grateful thanks to you all for your messages, and to the “backroom boys” for their kind assistance. I shall now leave it to MrWiggly to sort out the mess I have left behind ! I have been genuinely surprised by the kindness and camaraderie shown to Danny and myself on Anglersnet. I did not realise that Danny had so many worldwide friends !! Thank you all so much. So lock up your daughters and man your watchtowers. MrWiggly is loose again !! Thank you all for your kindness once again. Susan (Mrs Wiggly)
  19. Hello everyone. MrWiggly has now been transferred to a general ward and is responding well to the administrations of the physios, or the “Panzer Division” as he calls them ! He has already managed a reasonable distance on crutches, but tires very quickly with the effort involved. He swears that he will walk out of there on his own two feet, but the pysios say that he will need the chair for some time. He is begging me to sneak him in some Sausage Rolls and Pork pies. Certainly a good sign !! The consultants say that if he continues to progress as he is then he could be out by this coming weekend, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed ! Thank you all once again. Susan (Mrs Wiggly)
  20. Hello everyone. Just got back from my daily visit to see MrWiggly, so a quick note to bring you up to date. He sends his greetings to you all. But his prime message seems to be “Get me out of here !!” He is still in isolation, but progress is good according to they that know. Wounds are healing well with no sign of infection apparent. The traction also seems to be having the desired effect, but they would like to keep him “in situ” for a couple of more days to be sure. Then he will be put on a general ward where the physio's can get at him. And I wish them the best of luck !! They will have a hard time keeping up with him, I'm sure. They say he may be home, albeit back in the wheelchair, in 10 days or so. Then physio from then on. I have known Danny for over 30 years, and I am amazed by the grit and determination that he still has. The man just does not know when to lie down !! In reguard to your kind offer of cards. He is in a private hospital, and they seem to be very keen on contamination control. Which is not a bad thing ! Altho' they will accept the occasion gift coming in to patients, they seem to frown on such things as cards and balloons and that sort of thing. I have not seen any of the other patients surrounded by them. If any of you wish to sent cards/insults/greetings can you please message me, and I will give you our home address to send them too. At least that way I may be able to sneak them in to show him, or they will be waiting for him when he gets home !! Thank you all once again. Susan (Mrs Wiggly)
