You mean a Kiss style make over?

PVC tape is good for holding rings in place. I had a boat rod that I wanted to use in a hurry last year. The whippings were coming apart so I wrapped them with tape. It went out on the boat several times, caught fish and was still taped with the original tape at the end of the season.

Someone can't spell, it is fundamentalism. Mind you I can't see spelling being a qualification for a suicide bomber

Sounds ominous. How do you make a Goth?

Hi there, i am looking into dyeing squid strips for sea fishing, I was thinking of red or black initially. Have any of you dyed dead baits for pike fishing etc and what did you use?

I could have added; 1) BSE aka mad cow disease. No one was guilty of that one. Just these half assed farmers that suddenly got it into their heads to feed ground up sheep to cows. 2) The Conquerer sinking the Belgrano. Now which way was it sailing? 3) Maggie's deals in RTZ, very convenient if unexplained 4) Jeffrey Archer's difficulties with Anglia TV shares, his wife was a director at the time. 5) Big donations to party coffers from Al Fayd at the time of his purchase of Harrods and his citizenship application 6) Cecil Parkinson, iffy business and a mistress 7) Not talking to terrorists while MI* seems to have been chatting to the IRA all along 8) Peter Walker, half of Slater Walker and other colourful conglomerates The worse thing is they have not reformed, Hague had a small difficulty with his expenses while Leader of the Opposition and Howard was a leading member last time round.

Oh dear, You have obviously forgotten; 1) Cash for questions. 2) Jonathan Aitken and his unfortunate lapses of memory that ended in a spell in jail. 3) Jeffrey Archer and his romancing, likewise jailed for porkie pies. 4) The colourful career of Mark Thatcher, a few iffy deals there and if the South Africans had extradited him to Equatorial Guinea they might have put him out of his misery PDQ. No namby pamby half measures there In the good old days he would have pulled his jumper over his head before leaping from the top floor of the BOSS (Bureau Of State Security) building demon demon [ 28.

Website, website on the screen Who's the yakkiest poster that's ever been? It's YFL, I know for sure She out yakked them all and then some more! [ 28. February 2005, 05:18 PM: Message edited by: Socksy Squirrel ]

The smallest fish I have caught fair and square, hooked in the mouth etc are; Blenny 3" Sand smelt 4" Poor cod, pouting or sea scorpion 5" I have not managed to catch a weever yet but they are fairly common in Jersey; warm seas, shallow sandy beaches

The smallest fish I have ever seen 'caught' on rod and line was a sea horse. It was about 2" 5cm long and the body was about the thickness of a drinking straw. It had wrapped it's tail around a boom and had forgotten to let go when the gear was retrieved.

Spanish Bombs would be nice Or Astronomy Domine

Not a bad selection but it does lack a little something by The Cult; Brother Wolf, Sister Moon would do at a pinch All of the early spring bulbs are in flower around here. Snowdrops, daffodils and crocuses are in full bloom and the blue bells are chucking up heaps of leaf. It is cold at the moment but if it warms up next week then spring will bounce away.

Time for some Californian electro punk Holiday in Cambodia!!!!!

Dear Tuggs, Please play Chemical Warfare by The Dead Kennedys for chilli lovers everywhere

Arrgh!!!! Look at this @^@ They are posting facetious comments as fishing chat in a mad effort to catch up while YFL is away. Would we stoop so low quote:Originally posted on the Coarse Fishing Forum: Question: from where does one get humble worms? From manure heaps, pigs' dung, damp lawns - where? I know how to obtain lobworms, redworms, brandlings and dendrobaenas, but humble worms have got me beaten. Tackle shops don't sell them. I've looked up various worm-breeders' websites, and they don't produce them, either. I'm anxious to obtain some because I keep seeing references to them in angling literature, e.g. "one of the best baits is the humble worm", and "don't forget the humble worm" etc. [ 25.

Where did she get that spray on stubble?

No worries, I will just think of you when I sink the next one What type of fishing do you do? We might be able to make some useful suggestions. The TNXS is a nice rod, if you have an up market rod emporium up your way try one out.

I just followed the link and it seems that a big hairy bloke with a log in his mouth is on 10 - 12pm! http://www.caithnessfm.co.uk/asp/viewprese...enter.asp?id=20 [ 25. February 2005, 03:21 PM: Message edited by: Socksy Squirrel ]

We can't listen on line to the voice of Radio Scrabster

PM me the number and times and I might call them from Jersey

Just enough for a Daiwa TNXS 130M and a round of drinks. Mine's a pint of Stella

That is going to result in a big fall in sea fishing yak. YFL will have a lot of catching up to do when the ban is rescinded

I suppose YFL is off school due to snow.

SandTiger was going on about chilli earlier so I am on thread. Has anyone tried the smoked Spanish paprika? Not overly hot and there is a sweet version as well but it adds a lovely smokey flavour. Fry it up with some pork and then add stock, veg etc for a brilliant stew. I find the smokey aroma is similar to a nice Island malt. La Chinata, Pimenton de la Vera is the one to go for. [ 24.
