Carpnut

Does anybody know if the series he's done are available on DVD?? As our holiday get's closer in hungry for as much info as i can get my hands on. I must also say thanks to all who replied to my last thread with helpful info, really looking forward to getting going with Sea fishing now and hopefully get a bend or two in the rod.

Simon, Thats great, thanks for that, i'm even going to print this and take it with me for reference when i'm there. Will you be having a waggle while you are there? Cheers Bryan

Have rung them, they did upgrade it as the item i wanted was not in stock, they said have a go with it if you don't like it give us a call back. So, i'm happy with that Just need to find an excuse to get out and try it without letting on i've got some new gear

Seems to be about £15 - £20 quid depending on where you look on the tinterweb.

Then i will give them a call and ask them to collect it, but i'm not paying to send it back to them as they screwed the order up and sent something i did not order. Cheers

Yup totally 100% positive. I ordered an Alivio and got a Hyperloop.

Hmmmmmmm Dilemma I ordered my rod and it arrived, BUT it's not what i ordered, i have been sent a Shimano Hyperloop not a Shimano Alivio, it's still a 13ft Fixed spool 4-8oz CWT and a quick search on the net reveals it's a more expensive rod I called my card company and i have been billed for the cheaper Alivio. Not sure what to do now

My usual trick is to put the new stuff into old boxes, if she see's a new box or rod bag she will investigate, but with an old one she just ignores them Mind you i'm gonna get caught out one of these days.

Ok, thanks for that, looks loke a visit to one of the tackle shops in the area when we arrive as the shops around here don't do sea stuff :mad: Will send the missus around padstow while i sneak into the tackle shop, any idea's on what bait to use when float fishing and beachcasting.......oooooooh posty has arrived with my beach rod must find some where to hide it from the boss.

Hi Scotty, Yes I have still got my carp gear which I still use for Pike and thought I may be able to use it for sea if it is suitable for the situation, I have plenty of plugs & spoons that I use for pike so i'm guessing they will also be ok for sea??? If only i could find away to use my delkims as well

Doh :mad: Try again. If the technology works this is a link to a picture. The area i will be fishing is at the bottom of the pic below the whole in the headland. http://www.westwind.co.uk/westwind/cornwal...ifs/trevone.jpg

The beach that we will use the most is rocks all the way out to low water at on end and sand at the other end, I thought of fishing on the edge where the sand and rocks meet as the tide pushes in with mackrel strip and maybe squid. But as I am new to this i'm open to any idea's.The rocks around the lifeboat station and the light house look inviting but i'm not confident enough to fish them on my own. We went to rick stein's new fish and chip shop at the end of the harbour last year, very nice, not cheap but nice. The restaurant is far to rich for my blood. Sad thing is, I have been going to this area for the last 20 years and this will be the first time I will fish it properly. Wish i'd decided to do it sooner.

Good afternoon, We are going on holiday to Trevone (cornwall) for the first 2 weeks in may and i'd like to get some beach/rock fishing done while we are there(provided I can sneak the gear into the car without her spotting it) I'm very new to sea angling and have only just started after giving up on the carp due to the a$$holes who currently infest the sport. So, what would i like to know..well.......baits, location, rigs infact any advice you have would be appreciated. I have the basic gear but nothing fancy and really i'd just like to catch something, not to bothered what, just a bend in the rod would be nice. Cheers

Yes they do exist, and they live here among us.... Michael Jackson (Chamielien, changes colour to suit planet), Bjork(Scandinavial Madlien), and of course George Michael (Gaylien)

Father Xmas has no religous significance......... Ah you say that, but infact a religious ceremony involving the figure of a man dressed in red giving gifts on 25dec can be traced back to pagan times................ Tis true..

True, but when he does come he fills a stocking :-)

can we have santa back at the bull ring shopping centre please! banned so not upset other religions!! has the world gone mad? What a totally ridiculous suggestion, some people don't celebrate christmas you know, infact perhaps it should be banned????? What i really don't understand when things like this happen (and they do happen all over the country) is, it's ok to deny all the kids who do celebrate christmas a trip to see santa, but it's not ok to have a santa incase a very small minority of people don't celebrate the event......how is this not a racist action towards all those who do celebrate christmas? Just a thought............

Ok, just to add a little more fuel to the fire, Racism Is antisocial ,I think most people will agree with that, however, the whole racism thing is completely out of control and some of the complaint that the so called ethnic minorities are making beggar belief. During both the football and the rugby I was told on more than one occasion that by wearing an England shirt I was being racist as people who were not born here felt it was a racist thing to do................ Now I’m sorry but if I want to support my national team, the team who play for the country I was born and bred in, the country I love and call home I damn well will.............and if you don’t like....well quite frankly I don't give a damn, and if you think I should not be able to show my support for the country I was born in......who is the racist, me or you????? A couple of years ago, the company who make the milky bar were accused of being racist for employing a white kid to be the milky bar kid.....whaaaaaaat, that advert has Always had a white kid, since the early 50's.....how is this possibly racist??????? We now have a black music award, black film award etc, can you imagine the wailing if I set up a white film award or white artist award at the smash hit party??? So, to recap, holding folks back or abusing them because of colour or place of birth is not the done thing, but can we please get a hold of the whole racist thing before it gets any worse. We spend far to long trying to be soooo politically correct in this country when we should be putting our efforts to more productive use!!!!!!!!! Carpnut stands back and waits for the sh1t to start flying in his direction!!!!!!

And all this bickering is going to help us defend our sport is it????

TO: The Citizens of the United States of America RE: Revocation of your Independence In the light of your failure to elect a proper President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today. Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy much. Your new prime minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour', skipping the letter 'U' is nothing more than laziness on your part. Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters. You will end your love affair with the letter 'Z' (pronounced 'zed' not 'zee') and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise". You will learn that the suffix 'burgh is pronounced 'burra' e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you can't cope with correct pronunciation. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up "interspersed". There will be no more 'bleeps' in the Jerry Springer show. If you're not old enough to cope with bad language then you shouldn't have chat shows. When you learn to develop your vocabulary then you won't have to use bad language as often. 2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize". 3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. English accents are not limited to Cockney, upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). You will also have to learn how to understand regional accents? Scottish dramas such as "Taggart" will no longer be broadcast with subtitles. While we're talking about regions, you must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is "Devon". If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become "shires" e.g. Texasshire, Floridashire, Louisianashire. 4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play English characters. British sit-coms such as "Men Behaving Badly? or "Red Dwarf" will not be re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience who can't cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness. 5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through. 6. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full Kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2008. You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the 'World Series' for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls' game called "rounders" which is baseball without fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs. 7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any merde. The 97.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys. "Merde" is French for "****". You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable peeler. Because we don't believe you are sensible enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. 8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive Day". 9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts. You will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. 10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips. Fries aren't even French; they are Belgian though 97.85% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are not aware of a country called Belgium. Those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called "crisps". Real chips are thick cut. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer which should be served warm and flat. Waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers. 11. As a sign of penance 5 grams of sea salt per cup will be added to all tea made within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this quantity to be doubled for tea made within the city of Boston itself. 12. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all, it is lager. From November 1st only proper British Bitter will be referred to as "beer", and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as "Lager". The substances formerly known as "American Beer" will henceforth be referred to as "Near-Frozen Gnat's ****", with the exception of the product of the American Budweiser company whose product will be referred to as "Weak Near-Frozen Gnat's ****". This will allow true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion. 13. From December 1st the UK will harmonise petrol (or "Gasoline" as you will be permitted to keep calling it until April 1st 2005) prices with the former USA. The UK will harmonise its prices to those of the former USA and the Former USA will, in return, adopt UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US gallon - get used to it). 14. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun. 15. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy. 16. Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776). Thank you for your cooperation. edit note: Cleaned up a little to remove the excess carriage returns and so on. No text alterations made. Newt [ 19.

What is actually classed as hunting anyway??? Just supposes, I and my fellow hunters each adopt one of our beloved hounds to save them from being destroyed, and lets just say that I and my fellow adopted dog owning friends decide to take our beloved hounds for a walk in the country, and let's just say we also decide to ride our horses while taking our beloved pets for some much needed excercise in the country.......with me so far?? Now if one or more of our beloved adopted family pets picks up the scent of an animal and this triggers of some kind of deep rooted genetic response ie 'said beloved pet proceeds to follow the scent trail at high speed while trying to locate the source' myself and my fellow dog owners would be forced to make chase and try and keep our animals under control as you would expect a responsible dog owner to do........... my question, is this hunting or merely the actions of a responsible dog owner who is keeping sight of his dog while allowing the animal to express it's self without fear of predjudice as expected, nay demanded by todays society???? Just a thought........

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart. FOR EXAMPLE One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." I said "WHAT????!!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every husband on the planet dreads to hear..."You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?" Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'll just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went onto the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you...she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier." I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it!” Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled "WHAT???!!!" I then said, "Really honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?" Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.
