  1. How to win an argument In the past an argument would be won by logical and accurate facts being put forward, lengthy discussion and debate, And a willingness for compromise on all sides. In this modern age the way seems to be far removed from this. Governments around the world impose there way on who ever they want and when ever they want. President Bush and Premier Blair on Iraq, Israel on the Lebanon, Scarborough on Whitby !!!! There has smouldered sometimes and raged on others, arguments over various issues within Whitby. The main one in recent times being the marina and its commercial premises. The reason given for business premises has been give as a method of financing the extra maintenance of the marina. With revenues of around £890,000 in the year 2005/2006 I wonder why we need more revenue. But the powers that be have decreed it, so it will be. The latest argument has come from Whitby’s Harbour users group and the Whitby Charter boats. The debate centres around the closure of the toilet block on Church Street and whether they will be reopened. Scarborough Council have ended the argument in their own way without the need for further debate. THEY HAVE KNOCKED THEM DOWN END OF ARGUMENT p.s. When can we expect the tanks to come rumbling down Downdinner Hill? So there you have it
  2. Just had a quick look and thats what i call a cracking god site packed solid with info
  3. We may say of angling, as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries, "Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did"; and so, if I might be judge, God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling. Izaak Walton Old Izaak must not have ever been jigging. Or seen a rig with 8 muppets and a jigger. relaxing my a*** what say you challenge
  4. Maybe hes a crew man on the starship enterprize and can eat holograms

    Boat Rail

    Its a pullpit at the front and a pushpit at the back I think the major builder like seahog etc do their own but smaller designs may need a bit of searching. Make sure its stainless and be sitting when you ask the price Yoyu know what they say A BOAT IS A HOLE IN THE WATER SURROUNDED BY WOOD/PLASTIC/STEEL INTO WHICH ONE POURS MONEY
  17. yes my leader speak and i will obey
  18. Hi GLENNK no body is pointing a finger at you or any person in particular.What is being said is there has been and probably still is a quantity of rod and line caught fish being sold to comercial outlets. whether these be cafe's chip shop or wet fish shops it has gone on and likley still does
  19. Hi topecatcher do you know(silly question ) what their normal prey fish is or do they have a varied diet Its just that we are having a run of makerel and bait fish right now so they my be on the prowl
  20. many years ago(about 20) i was trammel netting in maw wyke in march and had a tope weighed in at just over 3 stones sad to say it only made £2 on the market
  21. Seems like old Chas can walk on water where as you can talk under it fella nice fish for both Chas and Graham
  22. Hi glennk try repeating that to the nesfc officer in area 1 (tyne and wear) hes had his car trashed twice i think and has also instigated quite a few prosecutions since he started (about a year i think)
  23. HI Snatcher just google DONNA NOOK all sorts of info Its in north lincs I will give you a bell later in the week and we can have a go (strong westerly ghosters forcast?)
  24. In todays Fishing News The North Easteren Sea Fisheries Committe have banned the removal of TOPE from the committies waters. This includes paerts of the fish (fins etc). The waters stretch from the Tyne in the north to Donna Nook in the south
  25. Not because of a wheel chair, but because he does not deal in back stabbing/groundless slagging off of others and if he cannot do you a good turn he certainly would never do you a bad one. he is also one mighty fine angler with stacks of know how and experience
