you seem to be all talking about rivers.
i was fishing the local canal just below a lock when a group of about 5 canoists walked down past the loack obviously having just hauled out of the water to bypass the lock.
they could easly have walked the couple of metres past me so as not disturd my fishing, insted the put in about 2 metres infront of me and paddled straight through my swim. b**tards

after my latest windows escapade im seriously considering the switch.
can you still run windows programs/games on a linux OS?
-
I was burning an image file when my computer just died, now when i switch on i get a screen asking me to choose which mode to start in (safe, normal etc) but no matter what option i chose it just leads to a blue screen saying that i have an "unmountalbe boot section"
is there anything i can do to get my pc working properly again short of a complete reformat, orat least any way to load windows or access my files to back them up before a reformat?
im running windows xp pro.
cheers.

so what is the advantage with using a 10ft bomb rod over a 12ft version?
-
if you dont mind using torrents then try one of the many torrent sites.
www.torrentspy.com is as good as anyplace to start.
-
mate thats a fantastic idea, gives a better view of the place.
a sort of 360degree webcam might be good.
-
Cheers for that.
BAA was the one i was thinking of joining but only becasue thats the only one i knew of.
1-1 with watford last time i checked, looks like another draw is on the cards

For £150 you can get a webley xocet with scopes and gunbag.
when i purchased mine the choice was down to the webley or the BSA, and the webley won hands down, it just feels a better rifle and having used the BSA Lightning i can say the webley is the better rifle.
Im getting 1inch groups from kneeling at 35ish paces and ive had the rifle since december.
In the similar price range there is the weirhach(sp) hw99, another spring powered rifle but it feels very light and flimsy compared to the BSA or Webley the cocking action doesnot feel as smooth either.

Good job im not french then.
I will stick with blonde.
-
Yes I would.
but saying that I wouldnt really fancy eating a fish from the canals around wolverhampton or any of the assorted muddy puddles.
-
Just a query but how many of you spell blond(e) with the "e".
I'm blonde and i have always spelt it using the "e"
-
Does anyone know of any clubs in the wolverhampton area that are fairly cheap to join (up£75) and have both lakes and rivers on there books.
being able to night fishing is always a bonus.
cheers.
-
to be on the safe side i would use 4/6lb line with a lighter hooklength maybe 2/3lbs, depending on the weight of your loaded feeder/lead and if you fishing close to snags or not.

Cheers.
got to say that desktop looks funky.
ive sorted it now, managed to change the colour using the link i posted earlier.

To be honest the only things I use my pc for any way are internet, music and occasional gaming and even thats old stuff like ut2003 so im not to fussed about it, this thing needs reformatting anyhow.
that program has to be the simplest thing ive used in a while, had just what i needed already built in, its even made the little x button in the corner light up red when the cursor is over it, which lets face it is cool which ever way you look at it.
the only bad thing is that the program has to be open in the background for the skin to work.
-
I've tried the appearence tab, the silver is nt really dark enough fot what i wanted and you still get the nasty green start button.
I'll have a look into the themes I've had a quick mess with those before, there not that hard to figure out.
from what i rember the windows vista skin looks quite good.
edit...just found this little program, looks quite tasty http://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/

I have brought them from the local tackle shop, just asked for some needles for injecting flavour or popping up worms.
The needles my tackle shop sells dont look particualy small (compared to docters needles) in fact there much larger.
failing that i suppose any needle would do.
a popped up lob is useually good for a chub or perch on my local canal.
-
what I want to do is cange the colour of the start menu button, task bar etc to a black or grey or possibly a gradient fade so that it will look better with my wallpaper.
is this possible, if so how?
cheers.

The people who did it are scum.
the only way to stop things like this happening in the future is to catch who did it and make and example out of them.
what on earth posses someone to do that is beyond me.
I am a young male and yes i do drink on the street and in pubs and me or my friends dont do that sort of thing and to behonest if they wanted to i'd be my best to stop them.
being a dog owner it makes me sick to think that the dog was loved by a family, i know damn straight if i found my dog like that i wouldnt let it go, id want some sort of justice done, justice to fit the crime.
-
Since my mom has to commute in this direction I can get a lift down there, but coming from the midlands I've never fished it before.
If anybody has, is it as the site ( http://www.fisheries.co.uk/milton/ ) makes out, what baits are working at the moment etc.
If i go i will be pleasure fishing on the waggler or feeder/lead aiming on catching anything that swims as i dont really want to target the bigger fish and have a waisted journey.
Cheers.

maybe calling the police was a bit of an over reaction but the wpc's comments were completely out of order and she deserved reporting.
well done ferret maybe she wont do the same to some one in the future.
-
She doesnt eat fish or chicken.
does eat cheese and dairy products though.

Its not the veggie bit thats foul, its the WHOLE lasagne thats foul.
i think im going to settle on a mushroom type pasta thing in creamy, white winey sauce.
sorry dont know the name of it, some one gave me the idea on another forum.

for a vw camper i can safely say for a baywindow (still camer shaper but not the later wedge shape) you are looking on £5000 for a tidyish example and any where over £9k for a tidy split screen camper.
late model watercooled type 25's are cheaper but dont look as nice.
you get free tax on anything pre1973 and every single part is still widely avaliable.
