Catch a few fish when nobody else is catching and suddenly anglers become the clumsiest people in the world. The number of times they accdentally kick over your bait bucket is amazing

I've had a couple like that purporting to have come from various banks (Citibank was one). Take a close look at the link. I've found that whilst it may display www.barclays.co.uk or similar in the e-mail, when you actually put your mouse on it the address it displays in the bar at the bottom of the screen is different. Not sure precisely how they do it but if you click you end up at a site that looks like the bank in question but isn't.

My wife cannot e-mail her father in the USA because they won't accept emails from our ISP because they claim it's 'open relay' (which I think means people can use it to do remote spamming). The reality is however that my ISP has huge numbers of checks in place to stop just that, but because they have chosen to go a different route to prevent it rather than what AOL have decided is the way to go my wife cannot contact her father. :mad:

Sadly there is an element within the England fanbase who a) want to cause trouble because they believe being hard is clever and are incapable of ignoring the opposition fans who deliberately wind them up to get them into trouble. Their reputation precedes them so it's hardly surprising that the opposition fans and police react the way they do. Turkey fans seem to get away with far more than a lot of other nations. They throw stuff at the players, abuse black players and generally act in a way that would get the English into huge trouble yet they seem to continually get away with it. I'm not sure why this is, although they seem to play the religion card fairly hard (ie you're only penalising us because we're an Islamic country). The English low-forehead brigade will sadly also play this card by basing their violence on 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan etc, and then play it again when they get the s**t kicked out of them and end up in jail (where they can stay as far as I'm concerned!).

Errmmmm - cannabis is an illegal drug, you admit to taking it so yes, I think that makes you a druggie. Not at the same level as a heroin addict or a cocaine user obviously, but still a druggie. For what it's worth I feel pretty much the same about people who believe they can't have a good time without getting blind drunk as seems to be the fashion amongst many today, but then I have seen a couple of my family die from alcohol abuse and go through drug abuse (starting with cannabis) so I suppose I have a fairly jaundiced view of the whole thing. It is not a nice way to go!

If this is aimed at me then let's not forget that what you're doing is illegal so I hardly think it's your place to have a go at me or that it makes me a freak. I thought it was quite a legitimate comment as many people seem to forget that the effects of smoking cannabis last longer than the high. If you're smoking several joints over night whilst on the bank then if you were to drive home in the morning you'd probably still be under the influence. I read a news article recently that said more drivers were testing positive for drugs after accidents than were testing positive for alcohol. From a purely personal point of view I've never understood why people should feel the need to take mind altering substances. You only have one body and one brain and you should look after it. If you however feel the need then that's your decision, but you have to accept the responsibilities and potential penalties that go with it, and not expect any sympathy if it goes wrong.

That picture was from Universal Motor Group. They don't have one in stock at present , but the one in the photo was a 99T manual. The seem to specials mostly in FTOs but might be worth a call. Personally I'd go and have a troll through Scoobynet - there'll be loads of stuff about import copanies in there, particulary in the Impreza Drivers Club boards. ps I think this is even better :

Certainly does - I'd consider one

OK, a little further research shows that opinion is a little divided on the subject but in general cannabis actually has less impact on drivers than alcohol and actually makes them drive slower and less agressively. There are still issues however with reaction times, distance judgement etc and the fact that the drug can stay in the system for up to a month. So it does affect you for longer than alcohol, but the high is perceived to be shorter. My comment therefore still stands, and actually I'd rather you didn't do cannabis or alcohol before driving.

Are you sure? I'm certain I'd read the exact opposite.

What's mashed Elton? Not one of yours I hope?? Update: OK, I just read the other thread so now I now [ 06. September 2003, 03:25 AM: Message edited by: davidP ]

Go to www.wigglywigglers.co.uk and look at the Wastejuggler or Can-o-Worms. Both good products. Something I discovered recently - many councils have special schemes where they sell composters and the like cheaply to try and encourage recycling. Might well be worth looking on your local council website and see if they have anything available.

If you're smoking joints on the bank then I sincerely hope I don't meet you driving home the morning after!

You might find this CNN Japlish version amusing (look at the full story as well)

The Environment Agency have had very little input into a lot of these venues. Many of them have been stocked with little thought of Section 30's or indeed planning permission and are purely there as a source of income for the owner. If the fish are poor quality then provided there's plenty of them and they sell day tickets then all is fine. After all, small carp are cheap to buy in bulk.

I had NFU insurance for the Impreza Turbo for 3 years until their underwriters realised just how many Imprezas they had on their books and priced them out of the market. Subaru Forester is reasonable off road and still much like a car on-road. There's even a 240bhp import version if you're brave! If you want something big and good value then have a look at the Ssanjong Musso (or however it's spelt). Was originally part of the Subaru dealer network until Daewoo bought it & changed the name, but the originals had a big Mercedes diesel engine and were an awful lot of car for the money.

Did you have a filter in the tank before or just relied on an under-gravel one? If it's new then what you're doing is stopping the under-gravel filter from doing it's job fully but because the new filter won't have had time to build up its bacteria stock yet you've actually effectively decreased the biological filtration. What you're seeing in the water is fish waste that hasn't been cleaned up by the bacteria, but it should clear in a few days once the bacteria have colonised the new filter. Once it's up and running never clean the cartridge under the tap - you need the bacteria in the filter medium and tap water will kill them.

I remember going out around the hedgerows of North Shropshire collecting damsons so that my Mum could make jam and pies. We also used to get baskets of them from friends with trees who didn't want to cook them. Mum used to make enough to last a whole year and any left over supplied the local coffee mornings and charity sales. Now I live down south nobody seems to collect the damsons - they just rot where they fall.

Computer contractor, currently working as a Test Manager for large medical insurance company and rather wish I wasn't. Also have a small pet care franchise although currently that's mostly the wifes job - I just pay the bills! (see sig for details)

It's just another version of vandalism except they don'thave to get offtheir backsides to do it so it seems safer. Some vandals spray grafitti, some slash train seats, some burn bus shelters, and the nerds write viruses.

PC Plus has a big review this month and they recommend the following :- Best value - Canon i320 (£49) Best performer - HP Deskjet 5150 (£89) Editors Choice - Canon i850 (£151) i320 - extremely good quality print for the price & faster than it claims, cheapish running costs. HP 5150 - fastest print, draft mode exceptional quality. Good photo quality and cheaper to run than cheaper printers in range. Bit noisy though. i850 - extremely fast, cheap print cost, superb photo printing, "expensive but worth every penny" (their description).

Congratulations to the England Womens Team for retaining their world title. Sandra Scotthorne also retained the individual title with Wendy Locker taking silver. Well done ladies
