I don't drink and work at all - not even a pint at lunchtime. To much potential to muck up someones life and finances.

Worst I ever did in the past though was working as a butcher on Christmas Eve. Started drinking one of the guys home brew in the afternoon and of course the other blokes could take a drink much better than some 17 year old whimp and then at twenty past four, ten minutes before closing, a woman cones in and asked for a big load of bellydraft of pork. I cut it and then picked up the chopper to seperate the slices and bang, bang, bang, bang, CLICK.

A little light went on in my head and I coldly realised that I was three sheets to the wind and bring down a razor sharp blade less than 1cm from my fingertips.

I put down the blade, asked one of the other guys to finnish the order and walkined in the back.

Errr,it gets worse, i was one of the people who voted him in. -_-

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

Apart from the fact that I have to drive a lot for my job I don't drink when I'm working. Obviously it's down to individual choice but, I don't drink and drive or drink and work.

 

If I were a politician I would take the same approach.

 

If I were a politician with the name of Reckless i would be even more careful.

 

When I'm not driving or working I have been known to get absolutely rat-arsed.........then again I have to pay for my own beer/cider!

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

We went out one night from work and it was really late when we finished, around 6am as I recall. The whole group of us decided to go back to the office and get showered, etc and have some breakfast. Whilst eating someone said that M&S at Marble Arch opened quite early so we piled into a black cab, went to M&S and bought underwear, socks and a shirt and tie set each.

 

Grabbed another cab back to the office, got showered and changed and were all sitting at our desks by 8am. Our boss walked in and was gobsmacked to see us all there as he'd left us at 10pm the night before and it was quite obvious that we weren't going to be in any state to be in early the next morning ! As luck would have it, he was going off site for a meeting at lunchtime and wouldn't be back. Tiredness was beginning to kick in at this point and people slowly started disappearing off home.

 

He never did work out how we all managed to be in so early that morning ;)

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

i'v had a few to many lukewarm poached egg on toast delivered by a plod in the morning as well ,i learnt not not to get drunk but not to get drunk in the open :D

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle
