  1. My kids just sent me these,hopefully meeting him this weekend if I can get a flight for some Coho salmon fishing as the run has started.
  2. No mate,shouldn’t be hard to find out I guess.
  3. Good call,I thought he taught English as he had a love of literature,but you might actually be right.I went to his school once,forest comprehensive I think it was?in Walsall.I was a kid and got the National Express down for believe it or not a rat hunting talk,Hancock was there,and mick mansbridge the shooting news ferreting columnist who a few years later had an armed siege with police.
  4. I used to catch a lot of salmon as a school kid,always a ready market for it,I saved my cash under a floorboard in my bedroom.I bought a folding pedretti .410 for roosting pheasants,when I first got it I was messing around in my bedroom with it when BANG into the floorboards inches from my foot,I sometimes remember that as it really shook me up at the time,kids and gun safety.
  5. Take the book from the shelf,nonchalantly look left,right,then left again then slip the book into your school blazer inside “Shoplifting” pocket or your school haversack,depart library with your “Treasure” #booktheft101 One thing I have wondered,what was he a Dr of?
  6. Was he self published,huddlesford publications I think?Got a misspelt modern ferretting first edition in storage in the UK.
  7. Hadn’t heard of that,just watched the trailer,looks gritty,I shall find it to download,thanks for the heads up.
  8. Vigo Mortensen,probably his best performance along with A History of Violence,but a very dark film.
  9. No country for old men,excellent author.
  10. He was a wordsmith par excellence,right place right time for those of us who needed inspiration as kids.
  11. Based loosely on Jacco the macaque in the Westminster pit if I remember correctly?
  12. The bad news is time flies,the good news is you are the pilot……Use it or lose it.
  13. It's the behind the falls tunnel mate,supposed to be really good.
  14. Done all that many times,even stood on my lonesome with a placard beside Steve (Stop brexit) Bray (because I figured any passing film crew would focus on him) outside HOP,but tipping point is long since passed,apathy/indifference by the general population.Wander through London then tell me I am wrong.
  15. There’s a diner about 10 minutes walk from the CN that does a really nice Bison burger and sides if you ever come back over.I will be back down in about a month going to Niagara for the tunnel.

    Tenerife

    Pyramids are stunning,going down into one defiantly has the wow factor,but on balance Egypt itself is a shit-hole,your not missing much.
  17. Ransoms including CN tower,St Lawrence river looking across to the states,and Rideau canal looking across to Quebec side.
  18. I think the canals hold some big sharks,bull shark and stuff,there’s a guy on YouTube maybe? hooked some huge ones from there,good luck next time you go,tight lines.
  19. That looks fantastic,how many fish did you eventually get and which part of the sunshine state did you fish?
  20. That is cheap,works out at under 30 quid sterling.
  21. I shall look at those Eddie thank you.
  22. I will get one of the short WCS ones and do a log tunnel,should get any that mooch around the house,I will stick up a pic when I get a black one.
  23. £to the $ is roughly 1.65 at the minute Eddie,do you know the other company?
  24. Yes mate,I will,it’s good weather at the moment,but once the temps drop they will be all over the street.I feed them when out walking but have seen squirrel damage on a house eaves a few days ago in town.
