Fat32 cannot handle files bigger than 4GB. So if you are into movies it could be a problem. Go for NTFS

This page is actually on Angler's Net Manor Farm Don't forget, catching big barbel is not easy, read a book.... would be my advice

There is a great computer network that has all the information you need it is called the Police National Computer (PNC). All you need to do is join your local police force to get access to it. Failing that DVLA will actually release the information you need if you can demonstrate 'reasonable cause.' Have a look HERE

THIS any good?

Newt, Did you mean Saturday 23 June? When you will be posting your report and pics? Ian

Hi Norrie, Virtual memory means that when Windows runs out of real memory it uses part of your hard drive as 'virtual memory.' If you go into Windows Help and search for virtual memory it explains how to increase it. Two good programs that tell you about your computer's components are Belarc Advisor and Advanced WindowsCare2, both are free. If you have a book that came with your motherboard that would be handy but many can be found on-line if you do a search. Two major memory manufacturers can tell you exactly what you need for your computer, they are Crucial and Kingston. Having a look inside the box does no harm either Sorry I haven't supplied links but they are easily found with Google. Ian

Can anyone please tell me how to get a website listed in search engine results and how to get your website promoted further up the list so it doesn't appear on page 47 of the search. Thanks

Make sure your reels fit the JW handle before you buy. Not all do.

There seems to be some confusion by some posters about the right to defend yourself. This press release issued by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in 2005 may explain the Government's view. Please note the Angler's example Homeowners and self defence - DPP issues further details of cases. 13 January 2005 Examples of cases where householders have not been prosecuted for attacking intruders have been given by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Ken Macdonald QC. Mr Macdonald said: "In the current debate about the rights of householders to protect themselves against burglars and intruders, I believe it is important for people to understand what the law says and how prosecutions take place. "The law is on the side of householders. Being burgled is a very frightening experience and householders who react instinctively and attack intruders will only be prosecuted if they use very excessive force. "It is only in the most extreme circumstances that householders are prosecuted for violence against burglars. Prosecutors recognise that householders confronted by intruders are entitled to use violence to protect themselves, their families and their property. "Furthermore the law understands that when people are under attack in their own homes they cannot judge precisely the level of their response. They are not expected to do so. So long as they do no more than they honestly and instinctively feel is necessary in the heat of the moment, that will be the strongest evidence that the householder has acted lawfully. "Indeed we routinely refuse to prosecute those reacting in the heat of the moment to finding intruders within their homes. So householders who have killed burglars in this situation have not been prosecuted. Householders who have shot burglars have not been prosecuted. Householders who have stabbed burglars have not been prosecuted. Householders who have struck burglars on the head, fracturing their skulls, have not been not prosecuted. "On an informal trawl the CPS has only been able to find 11 cases in the last 15 years where people have been prosecuted for attacking intruders into houses, commercial premises or private land. Only 7 of these appear to have resulted from domestic household burglaries." One man lay in wait for a burglar on commercial premises, caught him, tied him up, beat him, threw him into a pit and set fire to him. One caught trespassers on private land and shot a boy in the back with 40 shotgun pellets as he ran away. Others shot burglars in the back as they were escaping. Another appears to have been a drug dealer involved in a knife fight on private premises. Mr Macdonald gave examples of cases where the CPS decided not to prosecute people for attacking intruders. He also gave examples of where prosecutions had been brought. These examples include: Householder/other victim not prosecuted Robbery at a newsagent's. One of the two robbers died after being stabbed by the newsagent. The CPS did not prosecute the newsagent but prosecuted the surviving robber who was jailed for six years (Greater Manchester); A householder returned home to find a burglar in his home. There was a struggle during which the burglar hit his head on the driveway and later died. No prosecution of householder who was clearly acting in self-defence (Derbyshire); Armed robbers threatened a pub landlord and barmaid with extreme violence. The barmaid escaped, fetched her employer's shotgun and shot at least one of the intruders. Barmaid not prosecuted (Hertfordshire); Two burglars entered a house armed with a knife and threatened a woman. Her husband overcame one of the burglars and stabbed him. The burglar died. There was no prosecution of the householder but the remaining burglar was convicted (Lincolnshire); A middle aged female took a baseball bat off a burglar and hit him over the head, fracturing his skull. The burglar made a complaint but the CPS refused to prosecute (Lancashire). Examples of Prosecutions A man laid in wait for a burglar on commercial premises, caught him, tied him up, beat him, threw him into a pit and set fire to him (Cheshire); A number of people trespassed on private land to go night-time fishing. They were approached by a man with a shotgun who threatened to shoot them. They ran away but one of the men was shot in the back with a mass of 40 shotgun pellets (South Wales); A householder lay in wait for a burglar who tried to burgle his shed. The householder shot him in the back (South Yorkshire). Mr Macdonald said: "These examples show that prosecutors take great care over their decisions and have done for many years. So long as a householder is not acting in retribution or revenge, the force used in self defence would have to be wholly excessive and out of proportion before a prosecution would be contemplated. "We are working with ACPO and the Home Office to publish plain guidance to the public on these issues. We want the law as it stands to be clearly understood."

I think Matt's post said it all but I have to say that my friend has Orange broadband FREE with her phone contract. A constant, fast connection. I sometimes go over to her place to download something because it so fast and hassle free. Just my opinion like.

Just a couple of facts: You certainly can use a legal gun to defend yourself in your own house but not if the offender is running away from you i.e. she has ceased to be a threat. Human Rights has nothing to do with it. The law says nothing about 'if he is armed you can use an equivalent weapon' it is for the courts to decide whether or not you have used reasonable force. Daily Mail readers would probably be surprised to know that the courts are more often on their side than they realise.....of course there are always the exceptional cases like Tony Martin (who shot the intruders as they were trying to get away from him). As many posters on this thread have already said we don't know all the facts in this case and I doubt we will find them in the Daily Mail. No one in this country gets arrested without a legal reason. No one in this country is held in custody without a legal reason. No one in this country is held in custody without access to a lawyer. Everyone in this country can make a complaint to the IPCC.

Hi JackSprat, Great post, thanks. It's always fascinating to contrast. Pretty much agree with everything ColinW has to say. Radio Redneck would have to go over the side Ian

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said "You want hot fudge with that? And Man said "Yes!" And Woman said "I'll have one too with chocolate chips". And lo they gained 10 pounds. And God created the healthy yoghurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14. So God said "Try my fresh green salad". And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast. God then said "I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them". And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter. And Man's cholesterol went through the roof. Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits. Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double Cheeseburger. Then Satan said "You want fries with that?" and Man replied "Yes, And super size 'em". And Satan said "It is good." And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest. God sighed and created quadruple by-pass surgery. And then Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service. THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final word on nutrition and health. 1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us. 2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us. 3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us. 4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us. 5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us. CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

A 47 year old man has a face lift for his birthday. On his way home from the clinic he pops into the newsagent to buy a paper. Before leaving he says to the newsagent, " I hope you don't mind me asking, but how old do you think I am?" "About 35." is the reply. "I'm actually 47 years old" the man says, feeling really happy. Next he goes into the fish and chip shop and, again, before leaving he asks the same question, to which the reply is,"Oh, you look about 29." This makes the man feel really good. While standing at a bus stop he asks an old woman the same question. She replies, "I'm 85 years old and my eyesight is going. But when I was young there was a sure way of telling a man's age. If I put my hand down your trousers and play with your wedding tackle for ten minutes I will be able to tell your exact age." The man thinks about thinks "What the hell" and lets her slip her hand down his trousers. Ten minutes later the old lady announces, "You're 47 years old." Stunned, the man says, "That was brilliant. How did you do that?" The old lady replies, "I was behind you in the chip shop." ======================================= Last week I crashed into the back of a car. The bloke got out, believe it or not he was a dwarf. He said, "I'M NOT F****** HAPPY" I said, "Well which one are you then?"

Smoking is great, I flipping love it, me. Unfortunately it does not love me and I quit some time ago. I have come to realise that everyone who smokes wishes they didn't. If there was a pill you could buy for ten quid that would put you back to the non-addictive state you were in before you ever had your first fag, every smoker would buy it. Unfortunately no such pill exists and nicotine addiction is extremely powerful and there's always tomorrow....I'll give up tomorrow. I have every sympathy for smokers. But smoking in cars is just one more way to distract drivers. Everyone who drives a car should ride a motorbike for five years before they drive a car. I was an every day biker well into my forties and I can tell you from personal experience that the less time car drivers spend being distracted and the more time spent concentrating on the road ahead means a lot less dead bikers. I could murder a fag sometimes! But never will again.

Thanks for the reply Richard. I mentioned to my mate (he is Welsh) who owns the holday let that "Neyland is not a picture posrcard town" and asked for a discount! He got the right hump and all defensive about the delights of Pembrokeshire! Anway, I'm looking forward to it. Thanks again, Ian

"It will be a state record in either case," Kalash said. "It is two pounds heavier than the existing brown trout record and over four pounds heavier than the state-record Atlantic salmon." So the brown trout record is 2lbs more than the salmon record? Bizarre. It will be interesting to see what the scientists decide it is. I know for sure that some large waters in the UK produce silver coloured brown trout, but nothing this size. Imagine trying to land that on a single-handed fly rod! Whatever it is, it is the fish of a lifetime. .....and I don't have a problem eating fish.

Actually Elton there may be some truth in that. I think Newt should put in a decent bid, he deserves a lower number

I like to set up my box with a rod rest on the rear leg and an Octoplus feeder arm on the front leg, feeder arm up in the air when feeder fishing on the river but nearly horizontal when float fishing on a lake. No more banksticks, very quick and easy to get a perfect set-up, which is half the joy of a good fishing session...everything set up perfectly before you start i.e. not having a hundred plastic bags scattered around you. Obsessive compulsive disorder or what?

Hello everyone, This is my first post in the sea angling section and I'm looking for some advice. I am thinking of taking a holiday let in July in Neyland and I fancy a bit of spinning for mackeral and bass. Any advice please on where are the best spots I can do this from the shore? What do I need to know about tides? What kind of lures work well? (I'm not really interested in bait fishing) I like to use one lure at a time on light gear. I am only interested in taking a couple of fish at a time for the table. Any recommended local tackle shops? Do I need a sea rod licence? Or day tickets to get to good fishing spots? If such things exist. Is there much else to do in Neyland? I like walking and history and pubs/restaurants. Any advice from anyone would be very welcome. Ian

I actually thought our song was not too bad considering the competition and the brit birds were pretty fit in their tight air stewardess outfits (oo). But how long can this thing go on with not one country voting sincerely? (apart from the UK Having said that, I did feel sorry for Ireland who gave us a load of points and we gave them squat in return.

Hi Jace, I agree that the Shakespeare seatbox takes some beating, robust, cheap and lasts for years, mine has two trays that clip on the sides of the box at the top and these hold all my ready-use tackle and bait, inside the box are larger items, spare reels, groundbait etc. You don't really need drawers in a seatbox, all my tackle is in a plastic cantilever tool box inside my Shakespeare box. Another good point is that I have easily fixed all my Octoplus kit to my box, the permutations with Octoplus are endless. Downside is that that the box is clumsy to carry about if you don't have a tackle trolley. Ian
