  1. Hi, I've Done the worst thing possible and broken the tip of my much loved Zziplex (sob) Can anyone advise me where I can buy a solid bit of fibre glass to make a spigot to fit into the butt as I've got a decent end piece from an older rod which will do the job but it needs to be a male type fit into the butt. Alternativly is it possible to fill the end of the new end piece with solid fibreglass and build the external diameterup a few mill to fit the butt as its about 21mm and waggles a bit. Any advice would be appreciated
  2. Occupation plays a huge part in deciding a premium. Its all based on actuary tables . When I used to work for a major ins co. the salesmen used to play around with the occupation to get a lower quote. The most famous one being a professional footballer being put down as a leatherworker. One guy I remember in particular insisted he was an author (very high risk) when asked if he had ever published anything he answered no. when asked how he earned his living whilst waiting to be discovered he answered factory worker. (low risk) problem was he insisted he was an author and ended up paying 1500 as opposed to 250. You cant help some people
  3. I spent two months of my life lifting various frozen parts of animals 2cwt at a time into a hopper mixing dog food. Trouble was the animal parts were some of the most disgusting messes you have ever seen. The worst was something called chicken viscera, a grey sludge that stuck like s**t to a blanket and left this odour on you that never left. It was made from ground chicken bones and the bits even cheap nugget makers would never touch like glands. I remember once getting home from a 12 hour night shift so knackered that I dozed off in the chair without a shower and had to chuck it out the next day as it stunk so bad. I was going through a lean time financially so had to drive this old goosed van that didnt have a heater and the weather that year was so cold my windscreen froze solid from the inside. The day I quit I felt like I had been let out of Jail....happy days eh
  4. The ironic thing about kids is that after all the dramas of the teenager JUST when you get to the point of actually having a decent relationship with them they get this idea you are losing your mind and the universe performs this huge reverse where they think THEY need to look after you. This normally consists of looking scared when you drive, asking if you have responded to the "Guaranteed prize" you seem to have won as they check your post and wanting to accompany you to hospital appointments just in case you happen to forget why you went in the first place. The clincher is the present of a cardigan with football buttons on it that you get at christmas.
  5. I did cheat a little as I knew (to my shame ) it was The deathbed speech of Capt Kirk in one of those Star Trek Movies but couldnt remember which one. Generations is the answer. As I do now know its the right answer how about this one How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss? ...
  6. Theres Something comforting about a tilly (or Coleman dual which I use) hissing away on the beach, especially if your on your own. Although I only really use it when access is good though..
  7. Courgettes for dinner for me although I must admit to giving up on the tomatoes and making green tomato chutney (very nice too!!) Went fishing for my first shore session of the new season this year, went off Saltburn Sunday night and ended up taking my coat off and fishing in me shirt at 10.30pm. No fish though except for a few skinny whiting I saw brought in. This weather is so strange though. not so long ago I posted in a thread that pointed out that autumn had arrived at the end of August with leaves dropping and millions of conkers and a bumper crop of brambles...what is going on??
  8. John, I read your previous post post about where to go fishing (I'm assuming this is about that) and had to dash out so this is the first time I have had chance to log on since. Whilst I was out I thought about your post and the first few answers and thought it would kick off and I wasnt wrong was I. Anyway there I was chucking my first line of the new season last night , watching my rod gently dipping in the tide and instead of the usual peace I feel when fishing I started to get really angry because of the attitudes that prevail and really how unfair it all is that a few holier than thou activists can set out to try and destroy what is absolutly plain to me.....the actions of what appear to be a thouroughly decent man who enjoys his fishing and whats more is happy to share his experiences with others. During my trawls through the net for info on venues I have come across your posts and diarys and have found them informative, helpful and a good read. I,ve never met you in my life but I like to think I am a good judge of charactor and I have to say I would be very happy to share a beach or pier with you. Those people who use this forum for other means than to share and spread the good news and sheer joy that fishing can bring I will happily avoid as I believe that they have a bitter and twisted attitude to life and they think they can use this space to spread their poison. Keep on doing what you are doing John. I enjoy fishing for many things. The peace and traquility, the excitement and sense of achievment , the companionship ,and yes the pleasure of a freshly cooked fish that I caught myself. I sense from your posts that you do to and whatever you do dont let the mindless idiots that try to spoil this joy grind you down.
  9. Theres a new one on Mobiles where a premium 070 number rings once and then hangs up, you check the missed call and many ring back...bingo, attached to a premium line because the 070 number looks at a quick glance like a normal mobile and you are £1.50 down even if you hang up straight away
  10. What went wrong I think was that Mclaren's pencil broke 10 minutes into the game and from then on without the ability to scribble his little notes it was all down hill. Up here in Sunny Middlesbrough it comes as no suprise of course and being loyal Englishmen our loss is Englands gain
  11. The Outsiders... great film. One of Mr Coppolla's best. How about...... You kill anybody? a few cops. No real people? Just cops.
  12. Sorry for the delay, I just had to have a little nap, now what were we talking about?????
  13. I think I,m right so how about "I had a farm in Africa"
