COD, Curious - do you always take the advice of a "professional bookie"? Phone

Bobj, I think that jacket is for the holiday you have planed to the South Pole. It wasn't the most expensive - it just looked kinda skimpy at that price Phone

all, holy crapola I just googled this topic. A waterproof touring jacket with laminated 45,000 mm GORE-TEX® membrane. The genuine goose down inner lining can be worn separately and is designed to withstand the harshest of extreme climates. Complete with certified protectors at the shoulders, elbows and back. $2000

ayjay, I wasn't very clear. I like wool because the last time I got a new set of cold weather gear was - - - as best I can remember - - - about 1972 Phone

CHESTERS1, Each time I go in for a treatment they ask, have you been exposed to Covid 19 in the last 14 days. - - Me - - standing in the entrance to a 1500 bed hospital without a single empty bed. WTF Phone

ALL, Reminds me of the time I had 80,000 excess 6 lb piglets. Dropped them off in Iraq. Phone

ALL, BREXIT SCAPEGOAT Looks more like free market at work to me UK [PIG] farmers blame increased bureaucracy for drop in exports as influx of cheap European meat hits prices

COD, For the umpteenth time you say Covid 19 is what the UK voted for. Even CHESTERS1 is overlooking your comments. For the record, our news reports the issue voted on was "to leave the EU - yes or no". Phone

CORY, Covid 19 may be the least of their worries cut and paste Thu, January 28, 2021, 2:14 AM BEIJING (Reuters) - China toughened its language towards Taiwan on Thursday, warning after recent stepped up military activities near the island that "independence means war" and that their armed forces were taking action to respond to provocation and foreign interference.

TENCH, Chris hit on it. (cut and paste) Base layer (underwear layer wicks sweat off your skin Middle layer (insulating layer): retains body heat to protect you from the cold Outer layer (shell layer): shields you from wind and rain I have to say I am a HUGE fan of WOOL WOol wool. More later as I'm not exactly sure what it is you are looking for except staying warm Nothing in the last 20 years "washes out" of cold weather gear that I am familiar with (??). Phone

TIGGER, 1. Winter is HARD on gear. 2. Avoid current 3. Shoals will seek deeper waters based on present water temp. 4. Slow down, shoals become lethargic. 5. Usually not feeding, but rather showing social dominance Phone

All, OK, now past 80, more than the picture I have never heard them referred to by these names except cygnets. ANYONE? pHONE

ALL, A cob, pen, and cygnets enjoy a day on the lake.

ALL, Strange we will talk about the same setup - one side of the penny will use a "zig rig" or modifications. The other side of the penny we use terms like "puffs" for a "pickup". Long before ex-pats brought the term zig-rig to the states a multitude of modifications for this rig allows an angler to fish "from the bottom up". My most successful use was a "secret" for perhaps 2 or 3 years. HERE you go - the rig reveled. TABLE ROCK lake is 110 - 125 ft deep at the dam. I used a 3 - 4 oz pyramid weight to tag the bottom. Because this lake has an almost impenetrable thermocline I float fished right under the barrier. To determine the location I simply plumbed with a 12ish inch long 5 or 6 ounce stick. At this point size and weight of the bait were calculated. Lighten the stick weight until it no longer surfaced. The target fish were carp and buffalo and the thermocline was a natural feeder as particles took on enough water to sink. These were enormous fish and rarely caught one under 30lb. Down side lost a lot of line but it would always float to the surface. Pyramid wt were $1 ea too. I don't care what anyone says, if you are catching one specimen fish after another (with others looking on) it's a great feeling Phone

Chesters1, I agree, my example left a lot to be desired. What is conspicuously missing is the answer to the original and rather simple question - when, how and who causes crayfish to die. The most telling conclusion, although not set in stone, is that all species do not molt at the same time. The signal crayfish ARE susceptible to to the same pathogens but much less vulnerable. SIGNALS are the problem but the research never quit says that. It's round and round the pond we go. Phone

Chesters1, All our rail gages come from England. I've not seen the Yukon train in person but I agree - it looks scary. The only one I've traveled on, several times, is the narrow gauge in COLORADO. The scenery is striking. Phone

ALL, BLUE'S POST INSPIRED THIS POST - ENJOY IF YOU WISH https://www.frommers.com/slideshows/848141-the-10-most-fun-heritage-railways-in-america PHONE (yes ayjay my left hand is fu)

ALL, ALTHOUGH HE'S GONE IMPEACHMENT PAPERS FROM NANCY WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE SENATE MONDAY JAN 25, 2021. This is simply insane Phone

All, I should report in all honesty I am feeling better than a pig in shite. I guess a by-product of feeling better is whining. I'm more than ready to do stuff. Phone

Hugh, Ludicrous, of course it is the same in the US. It is the same the world over this is a nitch industry Medacs' parent company Impellam has 14 brand companies in 106 locations worldwide all focused on staff recruitment. Mostly temporary and mostly in healthcare Procurement reference CF-0054300D0O000000rwimUAA1 AWARDED DEC 2020 anyone is welcome to read it MEDAC was the only domestic bidder that offered a positive position for hiring ENGLISHMEN first. Low bidder was a company I've never heard of from Bangladesh. There people would require customs and immigration vetting. COD would probably rather seen the foreign firm than an English company who happen to be Tory's. Phone PS - as you know I am a liberal. I had to count to 10 three times before posting something nasty about your form of liberalism.

COD REAL HARD TO WORK OUT - that's why proof of such an accusation is so important. When you name names in business is different than politics

ALL 5 O'CLOCK (AM) NEWS UK vaccination drive expands as virus toll nears 100,000

BIG COD, THAT'S KIND OF A "JAM IT UP YOUR ARCE" COMMENT. In business I to was often fortunate enough to be the only vendor that met all the requirements of a contract offering. I also made sure I was charging top dollar. AS MUCH AS I HATE IT - THE DEFINATON OF CAPITALISM IS "TO AQUIRE WEALTH" IMO claims of am unusual or remarkable nature, like claims of dishonesty require equally remarkable PROOF. In this country you call a man a thief you better pony up something better than lip service. We carry guns. Phone

KEN, What I've noticed is what a horrible conversationalist I am with myself. You do realize you have to guard against babbling on until you sound like Chesters1. I was not psychologically built to simultaneously deal with the tribulations of my two "C's". The risk of COVID 19 and the loss of any immune system with active CANCER. For the first time in my adult life I am reliant on others. Phone

Cod, GOTTA GO WITH THE BOYS ON THIS ONE. YOU'VE OPENED MOUTH AND INSERTED FOOT. YOU'VE NOWHERE TO HIDE PHONE
