  1. Thanks for those very useful tips boys, I've also added a handful of 4 mm pellets to absorb any unwanted moisture!!
  2. So, whenever I put my maggots in the fridge, they always come out wet & foamy. The tackle shop fridges however manage to keep them nice & dry. Answers on on a postcard please!! PS - I keep my bait fridge on the highest setting (No 5) - maybe I should set it Lower??
  3. And, part thereof & not withstanding etc etc. (just saying) Does anybody get that - apart from the conveyancing solicitors ??
  4. 100% right Dave, we need to learn from things gone past.
  5. I watched the "Dam Busters" (again) this afternoon & Guy Gibson's dog - & indeed the call sign for a dam burst was edited to Trigger. I'm guessing "Cocks In Frocks" is/are now a No No??
  6. What a shame, guess I'll be watching Zulu for another hundred times!!! They're blaming "AI" (a bit like blaming CNC, new tech in engineering back in the day) Yes, I used to wind the manual Lathe handles. (& made a good wage) Maybe a proper job would be in order for the acting Lovies?? Things move on.
  7. There's a TV presenter involved with a minor - Tens of thousand pounds paid for explicit photo's. Can I feel a Blue Peter Badge?? - or maybe a match of the day!!! Of course it may all go away?? - Money can do that. Today's News is tomorrow's Fish & chip wrapper!!!
  8. Yes Ian, they are a sort of purple/reddish blank. Maybe 3 or 4 weeks Cold Turkey from fishing will set you right again? - I'm sure
  9. Nice couple of sessions Ian. I have 2, JW Young 13 foot specimen float rods - great piece of kit & they turn up on the Bay now & again. I bought my 1st one from new in the tackle shop £60. The 2nd one was off the Bay £70 but it had a spare middle & top section. They fish like a Match rod but with a through action with plenty of stopping power. Two rods in one!! Great for smaller fish but come into their own for the Donkeys!!!!!!
  10. Nice couple of Mini sessions there Ian, & good pic's.
  11. I could only think that Inflatable Bell ends would be even worse!!! Just saying!!!
  12. I'll be encouraging my Granddaughter's boyfriend to join the forum - Keegan is just turned 21 & has already caught Carp up to 14 & 1/2 Lb. Not bad for a lad with no previous fishing background. His Boss (a carpet fitter) asked him if he fancied a bit of Fishing - It just went on from there!! He's bought some gear now & my mate is giving him a very nice seatbox + I've got some stuff for him. He calls me Grandad, he's a great kid. We all went to Croatia a couple of weeks ago & thoroughly enjoyed it.
  13. Whatever happens - there will be a non disclosure agreement. (win or lose) Mirror Group, will make a donation to the charity of Harry's choice if they lose!! It's a different world from you & I !! You won't see Harry shoving a trolley around Netto!!
  14. There must be a good few - you could try logging into, & asking other forums like Maggotdrowners etc?? Maybe take a kid under your wing!!
  15. So, Philip Schofield's wife says to him - Why is there a piece of sweetcorn in the front of your underpants?? (Remember the John S Underpants thread - He started it!!!!!!)
  16. He'll be buried in an unmarked billabong - Can Ya Tell Where It Is Yet ?? Stylophone my arse sport!! And Two Little Boys !!!!
  17. Is that the same site as www.selfappointedtossers.com??
  18. My sincerest condolences to you on losing Dave, he was an asset to Anglers Net & Indeed a credit to yourself & family. He will be sadly missed on here. R.I.P. & god bless.
  19. So Guys, how many of us have bought catapults where one has more maggots around your feet than in the water!! Here's a modification with no cutting off (the elastic is hollow & all plastic inserts) Just drill through as shown in the Pic' instead of the elastic looping through the top as supplied!! Catty now fires perfect - All bait in the water, & NONE at one's feet!! No Glue, or new parts, no cutting, just a drill & re assembly!!
  20. Clive (They don't Like It Up 'Em Jonesy) Dunne would've sorted it!!
  21. The Night of the Long Knives, as I recall??
  22. He'll either face a "Firing Squad" or 30 hours Community Service!!
