well, when we arrived at grays and kerys house we were met with a geisha girl(kerry) who welcomed us both with a bow, and led us into the restaraunt (the front room) and we were met by gray, alias fu kin scar yman, who had a knife in his hand and a tea-towel over his arm!!!! the menu of the day was absolutely brilliant, the food was tasty and very nice. thank you gray and kerry for making a very nice night out enjoyable, and we will be recomending you to the good food guide of great britain so expect many visitors to come to your restaraunt , the eastern oriental in the west.... thanks both

and happy birthday to you gary for yesterday,.........me toooooo whoops, should have done that using my name should i, its meeeee catchpole [ 20. August 2002, 12:17 PM: Message edited by: carpnabber ]

happy birthday, mate errrrrrrrrr many happy returns for the day. but as i,m sat next to you, i,ll say it to you instead lolol looking forward to this weekends fish-in at hazel court, where there will be loads of big fish just waiting for us, well at least a half pound carp for you anyway ha ha cheers

to actually reply to the original point made at the start of this varied debate, i would like all those people out there who find it in there hearts to pontificate over criminals and there rights to live in society, perhaps allow said criminals to live next door to them and then let bygones be bygones! i,m sorry, but it seems the police are out there to get as many soft targets as possible, ie drivers!. as a good example, me and the wife were out for a drive and passed the gwent county police headquarters, whom were organising a open charity fete that day. as we took the turning down the main road, there were cars,who had obviously been parked up on the grass to go to the open day, and there were 4 traffic wardens slapping parking tickets on these cars. now this might seem justified to some, but to me it is outrageous!! just another police trap to raise funds for there coffers.( i could start another 500 words asking why a so-called state financed police force have to raise funds in the first place) is there a better way, any suggestions??

hi all, this might have something or nothing to do with this subject but i remember back in '82 when i received a call-up by the "emergency call-up act" which stated that i had been called up for a tour of duty in the falklands. as this was during the falklands war(sorry conflict) and i was only 16, i can tell you it gave me a few sleepless nights!! of course these (photocopied) letters done the rounds to all my mates(sorry boys!) stupid, yeah i probaly was. naive, most definatly!! oh well, theres my penneth worth

i tell you, dragon, it hurt me to report on the amount of fish catch-pole had, but i independantly kept a tally so he could,nt add more on as for the wind, it was that bad i thought it was raining but it was the spray coming off the lake behind us thanks for the reply mate

hi all, i suppose this is my turn to write about the continuing adventures of gray and gary,s fishing trips. this friday saw gray and myself return to hazel court,cowbridge for a rematch with the middle lake. arriving at 6 o clock we were met with beautiful sunshine, however after getting out of the car gale force 10 hit us! boy was this going to be a toughie, we set up with our backs to the wind and just managed to set up our brollies(no mean feat in itself). gray set up his feeder and float rod,opting for a size 16 hook on both rods, and began using maggot and corn on the feeder and white maggot on the float rod. i set up my old faithful feeder with a size 16 hook and decided on corn also. then i put out my (brand new) 8 metre whip using a 3 metre line and size 18 hook on maggot.the rudd at hazel court are numerous and are all in good condition, and they love maggot! fish were coming out within minutes, on a day like this it was enjoyable to be constantly in action and not to be reminded of the wind, which was by now hurricane force! about an hour after setting up and sitting down for the day grays feeder rod swung at the tip and he struck. after the usual playing he landed a beautiful 5llb ghost carp.(sorry no photo,s this time). some time later my feeder gave me a 2llb tench. however as the afternoon went on the feeders were not getting a twitch, so i pulled mine in and decided to take my whip down to the lillies onthe far side of the lake,i sat there on my backside(wet by the time i got up!) and put whiskey corn on my hook, lengthened the float to about two and a half feet from the hook and just lay the float out between the lillies and the bank. i then constantly fed a few maggots and corn mixed. all of a sudden of went the float and i struck. boy oh boy did this carp put up a fight, it went straight to the lillies. i dont know how many of you have had a carp on a whip, but it scared the life out of me. the tip bent as if i had struck a cannon ball and ,of course theres no room for playing the fish, except the whip length. after a brave struggle gray landed the fish for me, a 8llb ghostie. i was chuffed to beans about that, on a whip. twenty-two seconds later gray is down a bit further down the bank and casts in amongst a gap in the next batch of lillies, two minutes later he struck, this fish had no room to run as it was surrounded by lillies and although gray had to be expert in the way he played the fish to avoid being tangled, the fish was landed considerably easy. and suprise, suprise out came another carp, this time a mirror, and weighed in at a fantastic 12llb, welldone mate. well that was it, except the last half an hour, when the swim i had been feeding most of the day finally paid back with me having 2 lovely size tench, the first at 3llb and the second at 4llb. all in all gray had, at the last count, in total 166 fish mostly rudd but along with the 2 carp some nice roach. the fish all varied in size from little tiddlers to half pound rudd and roach. i had concerntrated on carp, but still had a respectful 37 fish. well thats our return to hazel, i apologise in advance if i left out any details, but i,m still new to this. cheers
