    As an ardent supporter of Leicester City I have to say watching the once half decent Foxes play the bilge they did and failing to penetrate through the Colchester defence last weekend was one of the lowest points of my supporting life.

    Exactly!

     

    Im glad someone (Gozzer) still knows that having a licence automaticly entitles you to ask others to produce theirs.But why dosnt everyone else know this?

     

    AT THE RISK OF BECOMING BORING-

     

    Because the rules/bye laws are no longer printed on the back of your rod licence! So it doesnt really matter if you have one or not as you are still in the dark.Why tell me cant this simple thing be remedied?

     

    It is printed on my licence.....reverse side, 3rd bullet point. I hadn't realised it was myself until it was pointed out on this forum.

    We only have a Sony P100, thinking about getting a Canon Eos next, don't know much about cameras myself, but I still think it's not just a great camera that gets a shot like that. Well done.

     

    I bought the D400 last week and have to say I'm not over-impressed with the results so far. Guess I'll have to properly read the manual then..... :P

    Basic TomTom's are very good but if you are planning to do any driving on the continent it makes far more sense to get one with a hard disk and most Euro maps pre-installed on them as buying maps later is expensive. I've got the 700 and am very happy with it. Be carefull that you don't take leave it in the car like I did very briefly once as a smashed side window soon happens.

     

    I read recently about the problems with the x10 series. Apparently TomTom are now offering free replacements for the problematic ones so, I guess, it's sorted.

    Nice to see you using it for what it's inteded for HB, looked like fun times......My strife insisted the other day that I'm not using my Landie enough to justify it anymore so it's had to be part-ex'd for a new family 'soft roader'. Still 230 horses at least means the new Scoobie will be some compensation....... :)

    Dry fly fishing is a doddle....upstream nymph fishing is not. Well, I find it hard anyhow......

     

    As for coarse fishing, for me it's a toss up between Stret Pegging and simply rolling a freelined lump of meat searching a river which are the most challenging.

    Question from a Numpty

    in Photography

    Without doing any research on what lens I should buy for having my first bash at macro photography. I took up an offer today at Jessops to buy one of these (allegedly) at half price with my new SLR. Basically, I thought until I got to grips with this digital malarky I'd compromise and not buy two separate lenses i.e. a macro as well as a more powerfull zoom. Will it suffice for my first novice attempts....any thoughts anybody?

    I hope many of you might make a small [or large ]donation to AN to show your appreciation. Details of how to do so are on the homepage.

     

    I used to do just that but only realised the other day that my contribution has been cancelled. I guess it was done when my last debit card expired 'cos I didn't do it.

    Here goes...

     

    A) 33 years

     

    B) Not easy to answer Budgie.....not nearly enough this year, once a month I'd guess.

     

    C) Not been checked this year but have been checked EVERY year previous for approx 5 years or so. Exclusively on fly fishing waters interestingly enough after thinking about it.....

    Just made 'Spaghetti puttanesca'.....very nice it was too!

     

    I tend to do the cooking in our house whilst she scrubs down the urchins, so I turned to page 66 of the October issue of BBC's Olive magazine, was inspired, added twice as many anchovies and lots more chilli flakes and it worked a treat.....!!

    I'm inspired so I've just bought some from Morereasons too (same ones as in Vagabonds pic above). Will try them tonight!!

     

    I'm impressed.....very nice. Might even order some of that smoked Eel as recommended now.

    Technically it's 15 years on 20/5/06, but I was 'banished' from the marital home for about a year up to last Christmas time....she then decided I was enjoying my new found freedom a bit too much and reigned me back in!!! :P
