  1. Good post, mooster, and an excellent counterpoint to 'The Other Thread'.... There's nothing 'unmanly' about caring.
  2. Taught several kids with genuine dyslexia, and they seemed to have better than average intelligence, and all went on to do well in GCSE's. Good thing about this forum is that it's not used as an excuse for those who just don't spell too well. I don't like that, it devalues a genuine condition.
  3. Thud! Give you thud i am very firm for a woman my age I meant me..... I have to be very careful with my imagination nowadays....
  4. It ain't just the Welsh.....
  5. Recently when I've been fishing and get a decent fish I'm not hooked I'm amazed..... Edited because stealthy got there first...
  6. .....which also resulted in a massively deformed upper skeletal structure! Human Fiddler crabs
  7. 'Ungodly' describes it well. Ferret skunk strips the skin from your eyes..... :sick: Worth noting they sometimes skunk when they're very excited. It might also imply impacted anal glands, so if you can feel hard nodules round the ferrets' arse a trip to the vet's is called for. And before anyone starts no I don't make a habit of feeling a ferrets' arse
  8. About the nearest you're going to get to hunting in this country is the archery equivalent of FT shooting. There's a few places you can do that, I have a mate that goes out regularly with a longbow. 45lb draw weight isn't that high. Medieval archers used to go over 100lbs. Mind, they practiced from kids.
  9. I suppose the obvious thing is to give a vet a ring, and ask them, if it's just irritating to the ferret and nowt too serious. But if you do add something to the water, DON'T add TCP. TCP contains phenols, and ferrets react badly to phenols, they are poisonous to ferrets. You can tell a substance has phenols in it, as they turn cloudy when you add them to water.

    Wise words, Michael.
  11. In that case....... The fish: It's a fish. I fish for owt that swims, it'll do. But I'd rather see pics of wild fish than overfed, spawned up fish called 'Mary' or summat. The people: Each to their own. Personally I wouldn't bother bivvying up for 2 days for the odd run, but if that's what people like, then fine. Edited to say: I don't 'hate' carp or those that fish for them. I'm just pretty indifferent to it. I do however like the way serious carpers 'work things out' regarding tackle and baits, and I think that can have an influence on other types of fishing like specimen o
  12. Are you talking about fishing for specimen carp or 'commercial' style carp?
  13. You don't want to do that. They've all got knives. I think ebay should ban vacuum cleaners. You can get nasty injuries from vacuum cleaners.
  14. Proper fish, lad. Better than the overstuffed specimens from the 'proper' carp lakes. There's a flooded area near me that's got plenty of doubles. Might set up for an all-nighter sometime. Won't be bivvying though.....
  15. I think Brimmer might have been referring to line strength. What is the Record Conger? Bloody huge I suspect.....
  16. great picture to put up on a site that young kids look at ............................. It's a remote control, isn't it?

    Bloody well started looking at profiles meself, now
  18. It's a tactic for carpers, but if I used one in a club match words would be said.....
  19. That's because you're still a virgin, young Paddy mate! :D maltenby soon as i can think of a very witty comeback ill let you know I nominate this for the best come-back of the year, so far
  20. Good fish there mate. Must admit, river chub sre my favourite fish. No mistaking the bites, good fight (till they get a gobful of air) and canny buggers: know every snag on the peg.
