Lancslass - more a cosmapolitan and vogue kind a guy myself.

Budgie, that's a classic.

oops missed this, so welcome lancslass. One thing, nothing wrong with girly mags.

Well I hope my missus isn't gay or bisexual without her telling me........i'd wanna watch.

Usually used as a leader for pinning the line down behind your terminal tackle, so less chance of spooking fish and less chance of line bites. Also offers good abrasion resistance when situations dictate tough tackle. It can be fiddly to use and rigs should be tied correctly to avoid tethering issues. Many companies now offer ready spliced leadcore leaders which helps though.

love it

won't turn me into a frog though, will it?

Thankyou young lady, I will be hunting this stuff down and giving it a go.

Cheers Paul, just got to find that stuff now.

Whilst watching "A Cook on the Wild Side" over the weekend, I heard mentioned that a certain leaf from a tree was used many years ago as a type of valium, and it was great for getting you off to sleep. Being a sufferer of insomnia, i'd like to give it a try. Can anyone tell me the name of this substance and where I could find some?

Have a look here Alan, maybe some help.

About £1,200 if I remember right.

Ian, I could go on about ignorance and explode with a post of personal attacks here (remember?). But, apart from loving football, I agree with your first sentence. Sorry Alan, can't help but will look into it. Are you just wanting the tickets for the actual match? I imagine the tickets for such a big match would be reserved for season ticket holders of both sides and members club members.

new to me.

The Okuma Force is a well put together reel with decent features, think they go for about £30. Shop around and you may be able to get a discontinued Shimano Solstace rod for your £50, top rod that would have cost you nearer £100 not to long ago. [ 02.

Bit too much eye shadow for my taste.

ha ha, could have some fun with that.

Is he about to shoot himself Newt? Poor bloke, can't he get that growth surgicaly removed. Or is that what happens if you wear your Davy Crocket hat for to long?

Paul - so they bloody well should, and yes I will be watching. And didn't England prove my point? See what happens when they play positive and put the Bangladesh bowlers under pressure. That is how they should play, stamping their authority on the game and be POSITIVE! All they did in the first innings was play negative and let the Bangladesh bowlers dictate to them. Look at the Aussies, they are the benchmark in world cricket and by far the best team. How do they play? They try from the outset to dictate the play and never let the opposition bowlers settle into a routine. Have you ever known a recent Aussie batsman to take 260 balls to make a half century? Remember this is a spectator sport that is dieing a slow death in this country, hence the introduction of the 20/20 cup to try and encourage youngsters into the sport. Even I, a die hard cricket fan, found Hussain's first innings a turnoff. Ant

Oh no HELP!!!

Climax Tackle are know advertising the Nash Hurricane Special at £99. I have one of these and am suitably impressed (although I paid £170 for mine ). Comes with aluminium poles that can be kept attached to the bivvy, ground sheet and an extra winter skin. I personaly think it is a quality piece of kit that is quick and easy to errect and have no problem reccomending it.

Ian, perhaps you could "pm" me your uncensored post, didn't get to see it. Personal attack??? [ 31. October 2003, 08:55 AM: Message edited by: aanthony ]

Gees guys give me a break. I am a massive cricket fan hence my passion. Ian, I understand what you say about the pitches on the sub-continent, but just look at the performance of Giles and Batty compared to the Bangladesh spinners, not to mention their averages. We also had only 2 partnerships of any note with 2 all to common colapses. Paul, lighten up on me. I don't think being British makes me superior in any way. I do think that the English cricket team, at this time, should be superior to the Bangladesh cricket team. We are after all third in the Test Rankings while Bangladesh are rock bottom with 0 points. I fail to see how any English cricket fan can be over-the-moon with the performances so-far, even though it seems we will win. Remember, in the first test, Bangladesh out played England for 3 of the 5 days. Can I have my head back know guys?

Has anyone got a Nash Nomad Titan 2 or a Nash Nomad Profile??? I need to know how tall these holdalls are, any help?
