  1. Has anyone tried either of the two airflow rods advertized here http://www.tacklebargains.co.uk/acatalog/S...eight_Rods.html Any information about their ability to handle BIG fish will be much appreciated.
  2. Not a lot you can do in those circumstances. Sometimes though it's possible to spark a reaction by cranking a noisy little shallow runner arround and then stitching to something a little deeper diving. Crank the new lure slowly towards the fish then crank it down below him and then stop so that it rises back above the fishes eyeline right in front of him. Sometimes he'll just hit it as it surfaces, sometimes a little twitch will trigger a take. Sometimes nothing works.
  3. I've had the Laurie Anderson track for ages because I bought Oh Superman as a single. That's strange but the B side was Weired ! Shatner and Nimoy came from the local library and The Laughing Gnome came by way of a mates hard drive. A weird track that I actually fancy tracking down for a second listen is "Fish Heads" by Barnes and Barnes. "Fish heads, fish heads, yummy yummy fish heads Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up. Yum" You just don't get lyrics like that anymore !
  4. I just realised. It's Dorothy. She's really let herself go since that Wizard of Oz movie.
  5. Looks like a pre-surgical shot to me. She even has the wrist band on from the hospital.
  6. Well she choked on it so if he didn't put it down her throat, it really must have been a HUGE sausage inserted with great force elsewhere

  9. Unfortunatly, it's not updating regularly so there's no way to tell if he's still there.
  10. Nah, My mate had a copy of Psychic TV's "Leg song". Now that's scarry.

  12. See ! And you thought the Martial Arts video made me a sick man.
  13. Goodmans, Amstrad, Binatone. All three are anagrams of "unreliable" Looks like you'll be taking it back to the shop for a replacement.

  15. I Have: In no particular order: The Laughing Gnome - David Bowie. Lucy in the sky with Diamonds - William Shatner. Walk the dog - Laurie Anderson. The ballad of Bilbo Baggins - Leonard Nimoy. I have others too.
  16. This is not for you is you are squeemish or easily disturbed. http://www.youtube.com/results?search=+MMA...s&search=Search
  17. Well I'm out. General anethetic, 2 hours or surgery to remove the jelly from my eye (viterectomy), re-attach the retina and re-inflate the eyeball with gas. So far, about the only thing I can say is that I have light perception. This is mainly because an yeyball full of gass drastically changes the refractive index of the eye. It'll be a couple of weeks before I know what the long term results are. Ken
  18. I admit it. If I've had a blazing day anf Joe Average asks me how I've got on, I'll usually tell him that I've managed a couple of Jacks and either be unspecific or just plain lie about where they were caught. I tend not to mention the chub trout and perch at all. Why ? Well, I've had people watch me catch and told them the truth in the past and had them appear on the river the next week with noddy gear and a big stick for unhooking pike that have been held down with a boot whilst the operation was performed. I've also seen idiots target known Pike holding areas with gorge tactics and beachcasters for the anual pike boxing day butchery session. As to the match fraternity, they either seem to want every predator chucked up the bank or they get their collective arses in their hands when they realise that I'm catching more chub and perch than they are. If someone is genuinly intersted in what can be done with lures, I'll tell them and show them but otherwise, 'fraid not.
  19. Love going out and chasing small to moderate fish with lures. I'll often wade the Severn and find a gravel gully under a tree that's loaded with little chub then spend a couple of hours flicking tiny spinners at them so that they chase, bang and eventually hook up with a juddering fight as they're pulled from the shoal. If the time is broken up by the occasional bristling perch or dirty great bow waving thug of a pike, so much the better. If I walk into a peg that might hold a monster chub, there's nothing stopping me from clipping on a bigger lure and working it through but it's the sheer variety that makes the day, getting up close and personal with the quarry irrespective of their size and fooling them when they can see you and you them. Magical.
  20. Rambling.........= Talking continuously about how nice it is to get out in the open air, how long it took you to walk the Pennine way, the fact that youth hostels are SO much more friendly than hotels and you actually get to meet and talk to a really wide variety of people who share your love of walking everywhere and who understand why it's necessary to carry a compass and a large map in a waterproof holder when your ambling 500 yards allong a perfectly well marked footpath that afterall follows a river so it's not as if you could get lost withouth either swimming or suddenly finding yourself out of breath from walking up the bank. Oh yes and young people today don't wear propper walking boots and always go for lightweight GorTex type things when propper leather ones will last you a lifetime so long as you survive the gangree that sets in when you break them in by rubbing your flesh to the bone and you're prepared to look after them properly and spend three days a week dubbing them properly - but not with that shop bought rubbish, with the real stuff that you make by rendering down lark chicks.................. Edit. Oh sorry. Now I see where this is going. Hundred = Fear of Germans

    I take it that now that you've had chance to have a bit of a play, you've found that the content of the carrier bag was to your taste..... Not had chance to resolve your question yet. Not my area and I got sidetracked by not being able to see this morning. Ah well, Shi-t happens.
  22. Extract from information notes Re: supression of news. Tip No. 137. For really effective supression of news, avoid having the BBC braodcast it all over the globe via the internet.
  23. I heared that lead hawks were taking a fair few - oftn accompanied by a loud bang or two.
  24. The story of the Kiwi double amputee who scaled Everest after walking past an incapacitated British climder without offering to help was in the news last week. He wasn't alone. Apparently 40 other people walked by and left the guy to die as well. I was rather suprised that this story wasn't picked up for the usual A/N deconstruction and tangential talkabout at the time but he was in the paper again this morning, loudly stating that he had "No regrets" about leaving another human being to die and I thought it was time to raise the issue. Now, it strikes me that if 40 people can go trapesing by in the time that it takes an already sick man to die in Everests "Death Zone", then the achievement of getting to the top isn't actually worth leaving a man to die for. Discuss.
  25. Yep. Some of the 11:30 at night posts are a bit strange but when the subject is a bit of banter or fishing instead of sniping and countersniping it's often entertaining or informative. Like I said before: There is an ignor user option. Use it.
