  1. I am selling a small collection of lures for my brother who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

    All brand new and obviously unused I'd like to sell as 1 lot and am asking £80 plus P&P.

     

    More images in further posts.

     

    PM me if interested.

  2. Someone has broken it completely now, I've tried it every couple of days without success - and all I get now is a "404 - page not found"

     

    Back to highlights and the crumbs the Beeb can afford.

     

    That's odd as I watched the whole of Sunday's F1 OK??

     

    is this link any different? http://www.coolsport.tv/schedule.html

     

    I've just tried linking from this post and it works fine for me. I think I might have given you the wrong link originally :doh:

  3. I'll be watching the highlights tonight - don't have/want Sky/whatever else I might need to see it live.

     

    I'd appreciate your forbearance in not posting your delight at any result until us plebs have seen it as live as we can, (after about 23:15) .

     

    Barry'll be in bed anyway.

    Thank you. B)

     

    You might want to give this a try when the BBC aren't doing the live race http://www.coolsport.tv/schedule-coolsport-tv.html Just search the schedule and pick out the correct channel there's a bit of spam and popups you will need to deal with but I've had no problems.

    Enjoy

  4. So those who work harder are penalised. Drag everyone down to the lowest common denominator.

    How is that fair?

     

    I am afraid these socialist values only apply to others.

    Take the great socialist Tony Benn

    Lives in a lovely house called Stansgate Abbey on the shores of the Blackwater estuary in Essex.

    His son Hillary s also a socialist MP and is campaigning hard for access for walkers along the sea shore, forcing it upon landowners whether they agree or not.

    In fact there is hardly a stretch of the shore between the Thames Estuary and the Wash that doesn't have a right of access. Well, apart from one. Stansgate Abbey.

    You try to walk along there and you will be met with notices informing you that this is private property, no trespassing, go away.

    One rule for us and one rule for everybody else.

    It's the Labour way.

    Don't forget the flood defences!

     

    "Environment secretary Hilary Benn has come under fire after flood defences outside his family's home were shored up while a historic harbour nearby is being abandoned to the sea.

    Last October 100 concrete tiles were replaced on a sea wall outside the Essex farm belonging to Mr Benn's father Tony, after they were ripped off by the tide.

    But at the same time the Environment Agency decided to abandon to the sea the harbour at Southwold and parts of the nearby village of Walberswick, 70 miles up the coast on the Blyth estuary in Suffolk.

    Scroll down for more ...

    Tony Benn's house in Suffolk had its coastal wall repaired with public funds

    The campaign to save land around the village of Walberswick is supported by radio presenter Simon Mayo, film director Paul Greengrass, and Richard Curtis, who wrote Blackadder and Four Weddings and a Funeral.

    Stansgate Abbey farm, the Benn family seat on the Blackwater estuary, is currently occupied by veteran left-winger Tony Benn, former Cabinet minister and Labour leadership contender.

    Last week ramblers complained there was no public right of way across it - despite the fact that Hilary Benn's department wants to open all of England's coastline to walkers.

  5. Tuesday 18th February 7.30 for 8pm start

    Mike Green giving an illustrated talk on his recent Adventures in the Amazon.
    No doubt he will probably have something else to wet your appetite, perhaps Rooster Fish in Mexico or Tarpon in Venezula.

  9. Great news from Grafham Water - the fishery will be open to both boat and bank anglers during January, until Sunday 2 February. Around 10 boats will be available for hire throughout December and January with the remainder coming off the water for essential maintenance. Fishing and boat charges will be the same during January as they are in December. This means half day permits are valid all day and day boats are just £18 or £16 for single man. All anglers who bought a Season ticket during 2013 are invited to ‘have a go’ and fish Catch and Release only free of charge (boat charges will apply). Anglers wishing to take a fish will need to buy a permit before fishing.

  10. I was until you said I actually checked back just before you posted to make sure I wasn't being a grammar nazi - I wasn't. It is now but it was definately Venus that I was looking at when I posted. Actually, looking at it was a bit of a worry !I was seeing a single point of light with both eyes or with my left eye but saw it as a broken ring of light with the right eye - not good.Looks like its back to the eye hospital.

    I can't see anything now it's raining.

    What's a grammar nazi?

     

    Jupiter is NOW just North of due East . F**k knows where Venus is? :o)
