Now I hear a father of 2 teenage boys has been fined £250 and given 100 hrs of community service for handing out a good slapping to a 24 year old scum bag drug dealer who had lured his sons into heroin addiction. Apparently he returned home early to find him preparing herion in his own house, this after he had already warned him to stay away. What's happening to this country? the law seems hellbent on proving what an ass it can be. How about praising the father for making a stand against these drug pushing morons. Good on him, that's what I say. Maybe he should've done like Roger Moore in the film "The Wild Geese" and force fed him his own filth and watched him die. There is no place in society for these low life and the sooner the authorities realise that the better.

How can the term "Nitty Gritty" be classed as racist. Caught the end of an interview on 5 Live this morning based on the Met Police refusing to have the term Nitty Gritty used due to it being a racist comment, WHAT???? Now I know this bl@@dy country has gone mad, politically correct is one thing but this is ridiculous, where's it going to stop?

Cheers for that!!!OP-JB:Learn to fly fish for £2 down at the casting lanes on the river. Try and find a guy called Clive and have a look down his micro-scope! Take a river walk with Dr Malcolm G. & Olly E. Join the Wild Trout Trust with Edward. Save up some difficult questions for the E.A. staff and poke fun at their fish.
Take along your own sandwiches and pop and save a fortune. Bill Giles says the weather will be fine :cool: but keep your wellies in the car just in case. Haggle as much as you dare for things you really want.
Why are food prices so bl@@dy high at these shows? If I took Deb & the kids (2 mine, 2 hers) I wouldn't get much change out of £30 for a burger and drink apiece. We took Debs Mum to a Garden Show @ Peterborough on Sunday and prices were unbelievable. Steak Rolls £4:50, V.Small slice (only 1) of meat thrown at a burger roll, Fish & Chips (or was it chip!!!) £3.50 bearing in mind the fish was only slightly larger than a fish-cake, Cans of Coke £0.80, Small bootle of water £1.00 the list is endless. Surely with a captive audience of thousands at these shows prices could be kept at a reasonable level, maybe that way people would not bring their own grub and they'd increase their sales and profits.

Been there done that. My brother and I used to arrive at our then favourite lake (Woolpack, Godmanchester)usually around 6:00pm on the 15th and just sit chatting with a beer or two. Butterflies in stomach as the magical hour approached. Absolute heaven cannot find enough words to describe the feeling.Chris Plumb:Polly - the 16th is STILL magical for me and that week before is always the 'slowest' of the year. Time is spent checking and rechecking your tackle. Every weather forecast is poured over - and only the 'best' ones are believed!
My friend Paul and I will usually arrive bankside just as it gets dark and we'll while away the final couple of hours to midnight sharing a beer or two recanting previous piscatorial triumphs and musing on our aspirations for the coming season. All the while the church clock in the village counts down the time in quarter hours to midnight and as the 12 chimes ring out so in goes our baited hooks - yes magical - the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up just thinking about it!!!

Trouble is now with the lake being open all year the swims are run down due to over use and the pegs are fished out by mid to late June. Before the close season was abolished everything had a fresh somewhat virginal feel to it but now it feels stale and used. chances are, if My brother and I turned up at our fave swim at 6:00pm on 15th June this year some other bugger would just be packing up having just hammered the swim all day.
Give the fish and nature a break, bring back the close season.

Good Club, Good Members. The close season should be re-instated on ALL waters. June 16th was a magical day, just like December 25th when you're a kid. Remember all that pre-season preparation, kit cleaning, scouting venues etc etc. The waiting, counting the days, hours and minutes, boring people to death with talk of the new season. All of this is still possible of course and I try every year to observe my own personal close season but it's sort of lost it's magic because I know if I really want to fish I can find a water open throughout the year without any problems.Chris Plumb:Well the main factor influencing my decision is the fact that this year the first day is a Sunday - I'm expecting my usual haunts to be pretty packed as they were last year when the first day was a Saturday (Club enforces a close season on ALL its waters - it's what we voted for).
So I'll be heading somewhere off the beaten track Plan A is a remote stretch of canal after rarely caught tench - this strecth also has the added benefit of throwing up the odd big roach.
Plan B is a rarely fished stretch of the Kennet - nothing fancy - trotting mag. with the c/p and picking up whatever comes along; dace, roach, gudgeon, chub, a barbel if I'm very lucky, possibly even a grayling or two but the aim for the first day is just to catch and enjoy being my water again.

Good move Pete but who's goning to carry all the new gear if she's not there?Peter Waller:Polly, suggest to Debs that you are only going so that you can sell all your gear in the bring & buy auction!
Mine is only coming so she can root round Chatswoth House, she's seen it on Antiques Road Show & it looks pretty impressive.

where it hurts you all most.
France for the World Cup
England have not a cat in hells chance will not get through the first round. Trust the Dragonbat.

Be nice to see if you guys can manage to qualify for the 1st round phase of next years Champions League.

Best week I've had for ages, mind you I suppose most Gooners will be saying that after Arsenal completed the double on Wednesday night. Today is my son Dominic's 13th birthday and he's coming to see me tonight to grab his pressies and have tea.
This morning I've had my two new crowns fitted to my front teeth, expensive and painful but now the anaesthetic has worn off I feel like a million dollars, never had two nice (matching with no gap) looking front teeth. Fishing progs on SKY TV all night, 8 beers cooling in the fridge. It's getting better by the minute, might even be allowed to go fishing on Sunday!!!!!

Even more negative, I think we'll struggle to get passed the first phase.bitsbobs:Sorry to sound negative but I don't think we'll get further than the quarter finals with that team.
