  1. There's very likely less Krill in Krill Groundbait & Pellets than you might think?? I've Googled this & can't find out for sure but they will be made from ordinary Groundbait, a Small amount of Krill Oil (for flavour) And little doubt, Red food colouring. (to give the illusion there's more Krill than there actually is) The bait giants won't give away owt' for now't!! Wife still maintains I'm an Incurable Cynic lol.

    Yes Andrew, it makes perfect sense that tidal affected rivers must follow suit. The river fish usually "Go Off" when it backs up, then come back on when normal flow is resumed.
  3. Commercial Aircraft try (during normal flight) not to dive, that, would have a tendency to disconcert the passengers somewhat. Not to mention the difficulties encountered during the "Duty Free" trolley round!!
  4. Reckon the UK has already been thrown to the Fishes!!!
  5. But the experimental evidence supports their claim. If you take a spirit level on an intercontinental flight and put it on the floor of the plane, the bubble will stay in the middle the whole way......... That's because a Liquid will always find its own Level!!! The Aircraft travels on a level flight path (both on the journey & its descent) but like to bet the bubble will indeed move on take off?? (Climbing) The Aircraft remains level during descent because height is lost by opening flaps, allowing air pressure to be lost on the wing's underside, (flatter) surface.
  6. In bygone days of "Conventional Weaponry", (None Guided Artillery that is) the ballistics boffins didn't quite understand why, when using the Gunnery charts of the time, they weren't enjoying as many "Hits" as they expected. Those Gunnery charts were then modified to take into account the Curvature of the earth - "Hey Presto", the Hits to Misses ratio was greatly improved!! QED - The world is Spherical (or round if you wish)
  7. Phone!! See you still haven't sorted your "Spell Checker" mate (it's manipulate - not minipulate) Bleedin' Yankee spellchecker!! (An aircraft pilot anywhere in the world can't fly without a command of the Queen's English)
  8. I've used it Andrew, but as the name suggests, it's a bit one dimensional on flavour. (Krill) Have a look/scroll down page 2 of the "What a Guy" thread for the one I'm using now (Sonubaits Supercrush Spicy Meaty Method Mix) Maybe mix this with some Krill Micro's?? (Best of both worlds??) Can also be used in a cage feeder/balling in.
  9. Wouldn't that be a Guinness & Tequila Sunrise chaser?? Martin, Today's the day everyone in America is Irish. Have on on me - I'm drinking a Tequila Sunrise, This simple classic has only three ingredients—tequila, grenadine and orange Phone Followed by a shot (or 2) of Val Doonican ..... https://www.youtube.com/embed/QpqLgfc8n8Q https://youtu.be/-1Ofhh30lwQ
  10. Thanks Andrew, I'll do it then.
  11. 50 people have now died.. There is no doubt re the culprit, = Capital punishment.
  12. I'll have a pint of what your'e drinking Phone!!
  13. " 'ow's about that then Guys & Gals?? - Now Then Now Then, Jewelry Jewelry". And the name of the band was Showadde' Wadde'.
  14. The Boy Scout movement is still going strong, including the Cubs, Brownies & Girl Guides. The founder, one Lord Baden Powell being a bit suspect to say the least!! I'm a former boy scout but no one ever touched my woggle!!
  15. I have owned the same rod for many years Martin, top notch choice from light to 4oz tip for distance. Great bite detection from light tip to the heaviest. I still use my 11foot medium feeder for tight to get at spots, I've had that rod for well over 20 years and its still going strong. So, the rod is rated up to 6 Lb main line but I want to use 8 Lb main, with 6 - 7 Lb hook length. (6 Lb Main can be a bit undergunned on the commies) I reckon that should still be OK?? (or is that just Drennan covering themselves??) Your input would be appreciated.
  16. There's the rub mate, they kid on they represent you & I whilst under the delusion they're a cut above!! (Mainly by accident of birth!!)
  17. So, Mark Twain was right then!! - "If voting made a difference, do you think they'd let us do it?"
  18. "All animals are equal - Some are more equal than others". (a well known quote from George Orwell's Animal Farm)
  19. Bluetooth is popular because the "Lip Sync" thing isn't so much of an issue when used for what it was aimed at - Folk talking on mobile phones!! A bit like the guy on the bus with clear mental issues talking to himself. (who I always seemed to get sat next to) Now, thanks to Bluetooth, there's half a dozen+ at it. It's now a technological disease!!
  20. Access to University placements is not a problem for those young people who are actually clever enough!! The problem is "Dumbed Down" school exams which give the misconception that they are IMHO. I only had a "Secondary Modern" education - Then a "City & Guilds", craft apprenticeship in Engineering and always earned a good wage off the back of it. (even in the face of those who were on the "Technician's Course!!) I was never going to be "Uni" material, & just got on with it.
  21. My wife bought me some KS Arena Bluetooth headphones so I could listen to music, horse racing etc on the laptop. We couldn't get them to work at first until I called in to PC World & asked the question why?? Guy in the shop explained that Bluetooth isn't normally installed on most PC's & I needed to buy a Bluetooth Dongle £12.99 from them. Just follow the installation instructions on the disc it comes with - Sorted!!
  22. This could cure it mate..... https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/970826/spell-checker-does-not-recognize-misspelled-words-in-word-2010
  23. There are 20 in Wakefield (Nailed on Pakistani) who aren't as clever as they thought they were (bearing in mind they've only been arrested so far & not yet convicted!!) The main 2 or 3 offenders will get 20 years apiece - the rest, 2 years or so suspended. (though just as guilty)
  24. Wouldn't waste an 80 Grand "Hellfire" missile - an Apache Helicopter armed with Gatling guns & cannon would do more than a good job!!
  25. Wakefield is actually a City - it has a Cathedral (a prerequisite for any city as far as I'm aware) & I live about 3 miles from its centre (or center for Phone's benefit - Bleedin' spellcheck) I'll leave my bag of sweets at home till the dust settles!! Seriously though, this problem must be alive & well in almost every town, city, county & state almost worldwide!!
