Presumably due to Drennan's zero tolerance policy of the internet! (Is there any other company of Drennan's size that doesn't have a website?) I've never seen Coarse Angling Today on sale up here, so I couldn't offer any comment on that, but I do distinctly remember actually hurling a copy of Coarse Fisherman into the bin a few years back after a particularly shameless and clumsy bit of product placement. The whole magazine just seemed so amateurishly put together that they didn't even have the wit to try and hide what was going on, which was a real shame as the contents always promised so much more than the other coarse fishing titles.

Crikey, here's one that isn't! www.fishingmagic.com/index.php?news=14710

They already have, although I don't think they ever make into the Carphone Warehouse: http://www.silverphone.co.uk/shop/Big-Butt...43f2f4a1f80354a Actually, I kind of like the look of the Doro Easy Mobile Phone, which is so Spartan it doesn't even have text messaging!

No, it didn't. www.snopes.com/politics/religion/allah.asp

Along with scorpionfish (rascasse).

I should imagine so!

I remember my mum buying some Greater Weever from the fish stall at Romford market back in the mid-70s. While it quite clearly didn't kill us, I can't remember her ever buying it again, so I'm guessing it wasn't the greatest eating fish.

Have a look at www.nesa.co.uk - there are sections on marks and tackle shops and a very good forum.

What a lovely part of the world. I've only ever driven over the Herault and that was 25 years ago, so I'm not exactly in a position to offer advice about that but I was a few miles outside Montpellier in Aigues-Mortes last summer and saw plenty of sporty looking carp in the canals around the Camargue. I was on honeymoon at the time, so I was not to be tempted on that occasion, but I have read about a guy who does guided fly-fishing for wildies in the Camargue, which is most definitely on my to-do list!

I wonder if they're having problems with the "friction grooved, tapered blade extension (or flipper) which aids opening the Cruiser, and then neatly completes the finger choil"? (From the description on Tacklebargains) I can't see anything else they could possibly object to, provided you're not planning to take it down the pub with you.

Have you got the 'Shopping partners' checkbox ticked in the E-mail Notifications bit of your accounts settings?

I walked along the Browney today, which feeds into the Wear, and that was absolutely chucking it through. Like Brian said, I'd have thought it would be a few days yet before it's comfortably fishable.

What are you going to do with these fonts once you've found them? It's all very well having them on your PC, but if anyone looking at the site doesn't have them too, then their browser will just substitute something else. Someone the other day was trying to explain to me some new way of doing it involving CSS and, I think, Javascript, but quite honestly, it was all way over my head. The bottom line though is that typography on the web is all a bit of a minefield. There's a world of difference between speccing fonts for print and for the web.

And no one has for over ten years now. Even then, there were only 117 released over 16 years in the whole of England. According to the report on the BBC website, the lake had suffered due “damage caused by nine otters”. Now I’m no Terry Nutkins, but aren’t otters extremely territorial? So what are the chances of nine of them co-existing on the same lake?

Or Bivvies and bevvies?

It hasn't… www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/jeremy_clarkson/article6907747.ece

Interesting – I had no idea people fished like that. I must admit, as the story is clearly written up from an agency piece, I assumed it had probably just got mangled up in the retelling and that he'd most likely actually been talking about a bait boat or something.

In the version of that story that appeared in the Telegraph this morning… "Wearing only a T-shirt and trousers, he jumped in his boat and motored 200 yards out to the fish and began reeling it in." Eh? He jumped in his what and did what?

You can also access iPlayer on it, which is very handy indeed.

Yes. Or with a considerable number of other text editors too. Problems can be caused if they've gone berserk with tables and html and all manner of other nonsense, but even then, you can usually read it just fine – it just may not look exactly how they intended.

It was from last July though!

You've both beaten me to it. That said, you can patch up some pretty big rips with Aquasure.

How bizarre. The cutlery section on eBay is, as you might imagine, full of knives, so why on earth could they have possibly objected to a set of cheese knives?!

I think trial and error and actually casting your way through all the permutations might the best way of figuring out what's what!
