  1. The irony of the article is the smuggling gang arrested in the article I posted (all foreign nationals)were smuggling illegals OUT of the UK. Border "Farce" aren't fit for purpose.it needs a massive shake up,but then I think it's just going through the motions and in reality the UK is sinking under the weight of illegals.
  2. Dozens arrested in smuggling gang crackdown, but it's putting a sticking plaster over open heart surgery, for every one arrested there's a dozen waiting to fill their place and cash in, the cash is too good to stop and the risks minimal. Dozens of arrests made in UK crackdown against gangs exploiting Irish border | UK news | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Home Office brands operation targeting people smugglers a success after cash and false ID...
  3. I can just imagine you as Bobby.
  4. Walked over an old bridge this morning checking a river to fish tomorrow,the pools contain thousands of Salmon,I need maybe another 10 for the freezer,it's officially the first day of autumn.
  5. I ain't got any (but have had a very enjoyable day).
  6. That's true,in mitigation I was sitting beside a river watching nature's spectacle unfold before me when I wrote it thus was distracted.
  7. Long time since I went in fairness.
  8. No Walt,park up,walk to your swim,throw in 50kg of bait,get in a bivvy and a bed,not for me.
  9. Spent an afternoon fishing a small creek,lots of fish running up.i
  10. Timmies snack,heading north.
  11. Quarter to ten, just been outside listening to the crickets.
  12. WTAF?? That's worse than kaja-f***ing-googoo.
  13. Not from a distance though, I still have the binoculars lol fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
  14. Me also mate, but in hindsight I thought he had hit a rough spot, down on his luck, we have all been there, I hope he is in a better place nowadays.
  15. I think I gave him a tenner or twenty quid?I think his good lady was the instigator of the hustle, I chuckled afterward, as far as scams go it was low level tugging on the old heart strings lol.
  16. I think a good analogy Walt is 100 rabbits a night on the lamp, or running the Waterloo Cup, it's got to be experienced, very few people would turn down a chance on rabbit rich ground or running their dogs at altcart legally back in the day, this isn't a carp lake where the fish have individual names, this is the north American salmon run, stuff I dreamt of as a kid yeehaaaaa.
  17. I have fished for salmon/sea trout alone and with mates loads of times since I was a kid Walt, but this is next level and should be experienced by anyone with an interest in anadromous fish, it's totally different, if this is thousand bird driven day then yup, count me in, but there's no comparison in my eyes, this is a true fishing experience.Having salmon for tea.
  18. Too late, I am skint, living in an advanced state of penury.
  19. I gave him cash AND was going to give him my spare pair of binoculars lol.
  20. Saluki are the Mossad of the running dog world lol. Whippet/greyhounds are the KGB?
