Drove through forestry and native bush in this ancient pick up in New Zealand; Stopped of over night in hunters cabins, and again, never got stuck once. Cheers.

Great stories lads. Personally I grew up right beside an estuary and at one time or another as youngsters we tried absolutely everything to get a few bob. We dug bait, raked cockles, picked winkles towed for mussells you name it. But our gold rush was gill netting bass and sea trout.. the hours we put in back then were crazy but it never seemed like work at the time we just loved being out there in the middle of the night and trying to sneak back in with our haul. We had a fair few near misses and you’ll never beat the drug of nearly being pinched. I was done twice and done 2 nights away the f

Something to have a laugh at, particularly from the the lads who believe that they are crucified by H&S in construction in the UK. Behold, this is what some of my lads need to wear on one of our jobs. Long story short, some idiot drove his machine into electrical containment. I would get sacked if too much information was given so keeping it brief. After a month of back and forth, due to the location and function of the location it was agreed to carry out the work. My previso? Full arc flash PPE must be worn. I have carried out similar work many times over the years. The fa

Sea-Fever WWW.POETRYFOUNDATION.ORG I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer... This is my funeral poem. Hopefully not for a few years yet.

Still a few about.

I know , I was thinking myself I was looking at the usual suspect models on a Facebook selling site and I was giggling at the amount of times the words “not from a dog owner “ was used in adverts. The secret code of “this won’t ping up “ have you seen the start of the film “Trespass against us” ?

Thats a bit different to arable below seas level lol

I was just going to ask if anybody had caught eels using wool. Blebbing they call it in Scotland. I've never done it but I've been told by older fisherman that they used to catch them by the hundred weight using that method. Shipped them off to Billingsgate by the sack load.

And for anyone that's interested, Mark brick ain't the big baldy whippet guy covered in tats. That dubious distinction goes to Carl williams, with his bowline whippets etc. And the only thing big about the little twat, is his stupid fat head.

Lol I'm talking to you like a mug ? Up to now tonight I've had to listen to you drive arable winter no bother and a dog can jog side of the motor all night lol What was I born yesterday ?

Looks like Australia ? Drove a bit of land down there in my daughters Toyota LC; Never got stuck once ! LOL ! Cheers.

Lol you need these

We used to catch the eels with our hands as kids...same as you wade in the small steams that run into the Exe, we would turn the stones and scoop the eels up onto the mud banks, we'd get loads...my mum used cut up the bigger ones and fry them in butter, she loved them.. My Dad told me my grandad would catch them by wrapping offal in wool, he drop it off a small bridge and leave it over high tide, this was over the same stream we would scoop them... the eels would get their teeth caught in the wool and he'd go back a few hours later and pull them up...never seen it done but no reason to d

You tried your best for about 3 years, charts. Fair play to you, anyone else would've 'jibbed' after a few weeks. Time to cut the apron strings, eh?!

Superb

You should get one of these...

Just common sense will suffice against you son. Lol

I'll get a belter butvinknoe for a fact as soon as them.wheels touch that wet black were stuck.bad

Mate , when someone talks to me like I’m a mug, they only do it once. I wouldn’t come within miles of you , and by the way , I have driven around fields down your way, no different to any where else, just like the hares and dogs. Do yourself a favour mate, you’re not the best, your dogs are not the best, your land is not the best , and neither is it the most undrivable, you just haven’t been anywhere else. Cheers.

I've done salmon netting in my day...lots of em.lol. Also long lining. Brilliant times. Greyman was on about elvers attracting big money. There used to be a caul on the river near my house. Every full moon elvers would gather in their hundreds of thousands and be temporarily trapped by the caul. I used to take my kids to net them with kids hand nets. They would then carry them over the caul into deeper water so they could be on their way. Eels are endangered now I bet you my kids carried hundreds of thousand of pounds worth of elvers at today's black market prices, back in the seven

Don’t surprise me mate old heads in the game have no time for newcomers on the scene trying to make a name for themselves
