  8. was watching "the big Bite" today, whilst using lures for barramundi fishing they got snagged, they then produced a large flat weight which had a clip either end attached to some string, they made sure their line was tight, then clipped this weight to the line and let if fall, the idea was that when the weight hit the lure/plug it dis-lodged it from the snag, and it worked. after loosing one of my expensive plugs(£5.99) last weekend because the bailiff asked me to try the stock pond as they had a 20lb pike they were trying to remove and place in the big lake, but failed to mention it was very snaggy(i'd not fished it before) has anyone seen these in the UK, my local shop has not heard of them, got to be worth spending a few bob on one if it saves your plugs/lures :confused:
  9. that is what i was trying to get at chesters, the world is run by big global businee's for the benefit of shareholders, none of them(or the collective governments of the world) give a s**t about us as human beings

  11. Really in the 21st century there should be no reason why there is any famine in the world today, If you think about all the food mountains in europe which is destroyed, , all the vast profits made by global companies, all the money spent on the arms trade, wouldn't it be wonderful if all this excess was put to use for the benefit of humankind :confused:
  12. I bet if you had offered him £5000 your missus would have had the op the very next day, this is the health sevice in the 21st century, where money and performance charts take priority over peoples welfare and the right to lead a healthy painfree life :mad: :mad:
  13. Old Trafford have set up special advice line for those fans feeling a bit down after their teams terrible performance in recent weeks. The number is 0800 10 10 10. Calls charged at peak rate for overseas users. Once again the number is... 0800 won nothing won nothing won nothing
  14. A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like Mother of Pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?" "This is Heaven, sir," the man answered. "Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked. "Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up." The man gestured, and the gate began to open. "Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveller asked. "I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets." The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog. After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book. "Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water?" "Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there". The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in." "How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog. "There should be a bowl by the pump." They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveller filled the bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them. "What do you call this place?" the traveller asked. "This is Heaven," he answered. "Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was Heaven, too." "Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's Hell." "Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?" "No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they screen out the folks who'll leave their best friends behind." Soooo.. Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without writing a word, maybe this could explain: When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward jokes. When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes. When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how, you forward jokes. And to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get? A forwarded joke. So my friend, next time if you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile. feel free to forward

  18. The FEMALE always makes The Rules The Rules are subject to change at any time without prior notification. No MALE can possibly know all The Rules if the FEMALE suspects the MALE knows all The Rules, she must immediately change some or all of The Rules The FEMALE is never wrong. If the FEMALE is wrong, it is due to a misunderstanding which was a direct result of something the MALE did or said wrong. The MALE must apologise immediately for causing said misunderstanding. The FEMALE may change her mind at any time. The MALE must never change his mind without the express written consent of the FEMALE The FEMALE has every right to be angry or upset at any time. The MALE must remain calm at all times, unless the FEMALE wants him to be angry and/or upset. The FEMALE must, under no circumstances, let the MALE know whether or not she wants him to be angry and/or upset. The MALE is expected to read minds at all times. If the FEMALE has PMS all The Rules are null and void. The FEMALE is ready when she is ready. The MALE must be ready at all times. Any MALE who doesn't abide by The Rules can't take the heat, lacks backbone and is a wimp.
