Is this the perfect bivvy?

[Peter Waller]

BUDGIE:

Alan you have issues............serious issues                

Not from the back passage then?

My neighbour had an incendiary up her back passage during the last war. You know the one, where those Yanky fellas were late again. Poor old lady has scorch marks to prove it!

 

Make the best of it whilst Newt is asleep!

[Dick Dastardly]

Im going to have to go off line soon as been on it all day! dont know what hurts the most my broken toe or my chuckle buds!

 

I often sit here wetting myself laughing over the stuff on here I am surely the saddest man around!

Either one must hurt you!

I sometimes think John S. despairs of ever making a proper mod of me.    

You're a mod???

can just picture Newt on his Lambretta, back in his fish-tail parka, tiger-tail on his ariel, and twenty odd headlights!

Dear Chaps,

 

This thread must surely be the most glorious instance of doing a runner with Pete's intended thread topic!

 

The bivy basher fails again. Or not, seeing as I've just probably re-vamped its purpose! Doh.

 

Regards,

 

Lee.

[Peter Waller]

There is atleast one who is more perceptive than you in this particular instance Lee. I wasn't bivvy bashing, honest!

[Wordbender]

Of course Lee's entirely correct. Try as I might, I just couldn't keep this thread on topic.

 

I mean what IS the point of serious, dedicated anglers like my fine self giving all to the furtherance of the sport, when I'm surrounded by louts who simply REFUSE to take everything seriously, eh? Yes, Stubbs Minor - I'm looking at YOU boy!

 

It's enough to turn a fellow absolutely Waller, I tells yer! Now, I suggest you chaps either shape up, or ...um...er...jolly well take up embroidery or something. Let's have no more of this jocular shenanigans.

 

Yes, that's got 'em told and no mistake!

[Newt]

Peter - from all the interest shown here (and there really was quite a bit) you might consider making the carts and selling them.

 

Gaffer probably won't want one since stainless would weigh too much but you could do a camo paint job and probably make a bunch of money.

[Peter Waller]

Cart! cart! Humph, blessed cart! It is nothing less than a Wagon, but more properly a Vardo. The sketch does no real justice to what would have been the pride of its owners Newt.

 

As a child we had the remains of my grandmothers wagon in our garden. Unfortunately it went downhill big time during WWII and no one gave it any real value so it was, as was often customery, burnt when she died.

 

In practical terms I would have thought that some form of rigid, mobile bivvy would be worth considering.
