  1. Makes an interesting risotto variation too. It takes forever to cook, though.
  2. No need for a machine. I currently have cream of chicken soup in the fridge that I made from scratch on Saturday.
  3. The Data Protection Act is your friend. Drop them a "Subject access request" for details of everything they hold.
  4. I've seen three in and around Birmingham. There are a couple of known hotspots (Sandwell Valley and Shard End) in Brum, but none of the sightings were there. As you observed, you tend to hear them before you see them - and as they are pretty common in India, I knew what I was hearing straight away.
  5. Not sure how often John checks in. You can just edit the first post to remove the details. Your iteration is super crude, but being able to clip up to control casting distance and unclip on the fly if you hook a big fish is very useful.
  6. Conceptually, that's way better than clipping up. You might think about taking the post down and running it past some tackle manufacturers - reel makers first.
  7. And if you lose it, some Muppet with a magnet on a rope will pull it out of the river.
  8. All good advice guys. Yes, dad is knocking on the door of 80 and has problems with arthritis, but he insists on fishing the pole, despite the leverage that it gives the fish. We were out at a local pool (Wilden) over the summer, and I made a point of fishing a 7' spinning rod in the margin, so he could see how easy it makes fishing under your feet, and playing fish. Despite seeing me outfish him and land two mid-doubles with ease, he's still not entirely convinced. I do like margin fishing, though, and frequently have baits inches from the near bank - especially if it's undercut.
  9. Thanks for that Terry. I've managed to find a couple of options that might suit. At least this time around, the request hasn't been dropped on me at short notice.
  10. Hi folks. Dad has asked me to try to find him a new pole for the usual carp puddles. His budget is up to £400. It needs to be 11m, but an additional meter or so isn't a problem. Now the trick part, he wants the elastic to come out of the side of the pole, rather than be attached to a bung in the bottom of the top 3. I didn't even know that this was a thing until he asked about it, and it doesn't seem to be listed as a feature, even on pole that seem to have it. Can anyone recommend an option that's in budget, and with this weird elastic option?
  11. Have a good one folks - and a happy, healthy and fishy new year.
  12. YouTube seems to be full of these idiotic, fake gardening videos. At least the turtle rescue vids seem to have gone away, after people exposed the content creators for gluing shells and barnacles to the poor animals.
  13. Sorry to hear that, Dave, and hope she's feeling better today. You know what's wrong. A massive increase in population, with no correlated increase in services - and nobody prepared to join the dots. Lesson learned! If you (or the Mrs) are ambulant, and it's an emergency, get a taxi, or beg a lift to the hospital. Yes, it's expensive, but what price a life?
