  3. I'm with Kleinbot on this one (too bloody old). Vera Lynn any good?? Bill
  4. Well this thread certainly brought the memories flooding back. I got my CB radio in 1977, a President Adams (smashing rig). I, like many others operated on side-band which of course was illegal but was certainly very enjoyable. When the government kindly gave us the use of FM it killed it as far as I was concerned. To cut a long story short I studied and passed the City & Guilds exams and obtained my Radio Amateur licence in 1982 and am still active on it now. Although I find it very enjoyable, somehow it just does not carry the same excitement as the old illegal days. I do know several people who were "busted" by BUZBY and who were fined and had their gear confiscated. As I had a 3 element beam on the roof of my pub I was surprised that I wasn't one of them. Ah well, happy days. 10-10 till we do it again. Bill
  5. Still ambitious then Newt??? All the best Bill
  6. My deepest sympathy to his family. God bless you Gerry. Bill
  7. Reading this thread has made me feel rather sad. I am now 71 and remember reading about Redmire and Richard Walkers capture of the then amazing 44lb carp record with awe. It has always held a bit of magic for me although I have never been there. Ah well, times change. I wish the best of luck to any one fishing there but for me anyway the magic has gone. Cheers all Bill
  8. Please don't apologise. Any carp is a nice fish, irrespective of size. The bit I really enjoyed was imagining the youngsters pleasure in catching that fish. Well done to you for taking an interest. I am sure that added to his pleasure. Cheers Bill
  9. Well done Rudd. Reminded me of the time I fished all night with a hook buried in my thumb. Had to have it cut out following morning. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, IT WAS THE ONLY THING i HOOKED ALL NIGHT. lol. Cheers Bill
  10. Well done mate. I hope its the first of many. A twenty can't be too far away. Cheers Bill
  11. Well written and an enjoyable read. Well done Julian.
  12. Well done Andrew, nice session. I'm not sure about "secret" place though, I'm sure I recognize that grass. lol
  13. Ferret, if thats for fishing GREAT but if its for WORK, AAARRRRGGGGHHHH..
  14. Four people were in a train compartment. A lovely young blonde, a really ugly old lady, a Frenchman and an Englishman. The train entered a long dark tunnel and halfway through there was the sound of an almighty slap and a loud cry of pain. When the train re-emerged into the light it was seen that the Frenchman had a very red handprint on the side of his face. The blonde thought " I know what happened there. That French swine tried to grope me, got the old lady by mistake and she clocked him." The old lady thought "I know what happened there. That slimey Frenchmman tried to grope the blonde and she has given him a right good slap." The Frenchman thought " I know what happened there. That bloody Englishman groped the blonde, she thought it was me and clouted me for nothing." The Englishman thought " I hope there is another tunnel coming up, I'll give that French git another one" Cheers all Bill
