Yeah, I'm not sure if I should bring more bait or more batteries next time out. :cool: ANYHOW - BACK TO MY ORIGINAL QUESTION. Anyone catch anything? Do tell (No, not you Daz, this is a family forum )

I beg pardon? :confused: Care to elaborate? Also, did Costers do owt?

Me too Daz, forgot to put my factor 30 on. :mad:

Just wondering.

OK, so occasionally, my casting is a bit random, but fortunately I've now replaced that alleged 15lb line I had on, so in future it shouldn't take three of us & a landrover to snap it.

As you know Daz, there are a few of 'em in there, the biggest being a 30something (I wish I still was) or maybe it's caught up with me & is now a 40something??? I know the last time the big 'un was caught it was on maggot(or was it castor?). It's weird that we tend to fish at least one rod with some sort of bait that will attract not only Carp but give us a chance of a Catty, but we always seem to lose out, catfish wise, to the matchmen. Don't you just hate it when that happens!

If they've not bothered even changing the prices on display it's scandalous that they've charge you the new rate. Good on you that you're not going back - Costers will vouch for me that I have one on my boycott list because they píssed me off. Also, some of these bailiffs, what do they get off on?? Bloody power mad they are demon

Has anyone tried using these for Carp? I've spotted similar products to the above in my local tackle shop & keep debating giving them a try, fished with a short hooklength in the margins, with maggots trickling out of the feeder over a couple of maggots on the hook. Are they any good? Has anyone had any success with them?

Here's one that I wish I'd been warned about! If someone comes to your door & says they're doing a survey & need you to take all your clothes off - DON'T DO IT - It's a scam, they just want to see you naked! I feel stupid & cheap now.

I'm glad you thought of Roach & not two/too tench! Excellent account there TFT, had me squirming at the thought. Reminds me of my Brother-In-Law, he had gone in for one of these camera things down his throat, as he waited on his bed to be wheeled down to theatre(or wherever it is they do it?) he was chatting to the lady in the next bed, who told him she was in for a camera to to shoved up her bum! She went down first. As they shoved it down his throat, all my Brother-In-Law could think was, "I hope they've washed it!!!"

I don't know if it applies on here, but my ex-wife is called June & was born in June, her mother is called May & was born in May! I feel sorry for her little brother - Pancake Tuesday!! (OK, so I made the last bit up, but the June & May bit's are kosher)

The original post by Newt brings to mind the one about the couple who marry, but don’t have much money, so have to move in with the Brides parents. On their wedding night, the newly weds retire to the bedroom & the husband takes off his shirt, his virgin bride has never seen a hairy chest before & runs downstairs to her Mum & says “Mum, he’s got hairs all over his chest!” “Don’t worry love" she replies "that’s perfectly normal, go back upstairs & enjoy yourself” She returns to the bedroom, only to see her husbands hairy back, which again freaks her out & she runs downstairs again to tell her mother, who re-assures her it’s quite normal for some men to have a hairy back. As she returns to the bedroom her husband has just removed his boxers, to the dismay of his Bride, revealing his hairy ******. She again needs re-assurance from her Mum & runs downstairs & her Mother explains some men are very hairy, so she shouldn’t worry & should go back upstairs & attend to her man. As she goes back into the bedroom, our Bride is horrified to find her Husband just taking off his socks to reveal he’s not got any toes on one of his feet, she runs downstairs to her mother screaming “But Mum, he’s got a foot & a half!!!!” To which the Mother replies “Stand aside, I’ll go upstairs & take care of this!”

Without wanting to hijack Polly's thread, Yep, I'm on for Sunday. I may also tweak in a few hours tomorrow.

My apologies fella, I didn't mean any offence. I hope if you do get to the show you enjoy it. I've never been to such an event, are they worth a day out? Is the aim of the show, from the punters perspective, to pick up a few items of bargain tackle, or is it more about looking at any new Hi-Tech stuff that's due on the market & drooling over stuff you can't afford?

I take it, by that, you mean you'll be up with the shits all night?

Good luck to you Crayers, hope you empty the place. (Whadd'ya mean your not fishing for Plaice ) Where the feck is Totty?? I seem to recall you're in the North West, so looking at the forecast I think you could get wet, you wouldn't be interested in purchasing a Nash Outlaw Hurricane Bivvy would you?

I wasn't intending posting on this thread, but having looked in, I found it slightly weird who I share my birthday with - namely Newt. Why? Well, I always gravitate towards anything jovial & that includes the posts on here. The one guy on AN, who makes me laugh head & shoulders above all others, is Newt. So, it's an honour to share a birthday with you, Mr Newt. (& No, it's not because I'm always píssed as one )

Steve - I caught my 1st twenty on a piece of floating crust, so I'm definitely a fan, although one big drawback is it does attract the ducks.

That made me chuckle, you make it sound like the Paris - Dakar rally.

Just to let you know that the Brotel is now erected in my lounge. It was almost as easy to put up as you made it look. So many thanks once again Alan, much appreciated.

Alan. Lytham as in Lytham St Annes??? Being just down the road, I wouldn't mind taking you up on that if Carping Mad doesn't want it. Cheers.

Just to try & liven things up a bit, how about a Caption Comp? Just a bit of fun, there's no prize on offer, the winner just gets bragging rights. So here's a piccy (which is my 3rd choice as the 1st two didn't display) My (very poor) effort is: - The guy in the T-Shirt can't help wondering, as he holds his rod between his right thumb & forefinger, if he's fishing too light? :confused:

Just wondering, how much did you get for the kidney???? Hope you get well soon fella.
