I really enjoyed that refresher. Thanks JV

Yeah thanks Steve, made me late for work it did . Not a bad haul for the middle of Winter and some sizeable fish too.

 

I used to love those programmes but if I recall most shows weren’t dedicated solely to fishing. You’d get the odd bonus one but usually there was a ten minute slot in amongst footage of the local coopers works or the latest farm show. Never did manage to build a barrel.

Oh well, no work getting done this morning.

Thanks

They did only have small snippets of fishing in the programmes but i found the whole thing good ,More so now than i did then nostalgia face .

His comments about the snooker the night before struck a cord as a teenager i would play snooker up the village men's club and thinking along the lines of i am the new Hurricane Higgins myself and my fellow teenagers would challenge a couple of the old guys from the club to a game of doubles ,Now these old boys were brought up on playing Billiards not snooker and as such there cue ball control was such as to negate any potting advantage us youngsters may have had and i can only recall a couple of occasions when we actually won as they would play percentages always leaving the cue ball safe or on the cushion with a stupidly hard pot to go for which of course we did thus leaving them to clean up which in turn left us having to fork out for yet another couple of pints for the victors whilst we cursed our rotten luck in those long pots just wobbling in the jaws of said pocket .

As they sunk the black they would just shake there head and say mines a pint with a smug grin ah i can see them now.....

Me too but it was in the mid seventies when every Burtons had a snooker hall above it. My highest ever break was 77 which earned me great kudos amongst the other truants in the sixth form. Cost me Geography and RE 'O' levels though, at the time it seemed a good deal......still is come to think of it.

Great programmes those. I actually have the box set of dvd's my Mrs got me a couple of years back. The box sets do come up on ebay occassionally and are definatley worth getting. Even the episodes which arn't about fishing are really good, like market day and rake maker for instance, really interesting.
