Anyone know anything about fishing Whitehaven pier , I’m up that way either at the end of the week or next week and thinking of having a go weather and time permitting . Also is there somewhere to get fresh bait from locally

I was with Hastings for a couple of years with my car insurance until I got a renewal quote through the post that had pretty much doubled it to over £800 . I went on the comparison sites and Hastings themselves gave the best quote that was near enough what I was already paying so I rang them and told them I was not accepting the 800 quote because they had quoted half that on the comparison site . The bloke on the phone said I’ll see what I can do and came back with £650 and was genuinely surprised when I said no because you’ve already quoted 420 online. I could have just gone through the onlin

My mate didn’t get home in time so I had a few shots in the yard and just pulling to my ear instead of the corner of my mouth made a big difference. First hit on a soup tin and the 9.5 steel went through one side instead of just dinting it . I’m not keen on the shape of the frame though . Even though I’ve got big hands it just doesn’t feel comfortable. I put some bands on an old natural I had from years ago and it just felt better and I was more accurate with it so I’ll just crack on with that if I can’t get used to the other frame
-
I got a tape and held it over the forks and measured the draw then I think it was divided by 5 or 5.5 to get the band length like I’ve seen on videos . I’m off up to my mates for a mess about with it in a few minutes so I’ll see how it compares to his with the same bands .

I got a frame given a few weeks ago and the lad recommended single gzk bands for it so I ordered some .80 25-20 green and white stuff and trying it out it doesn’t seem that powerful . I used to use double and even triple bands and 12mm lead the last time I messed about with cattys and they did some damage when they hit so I tried a couple of 12mm leads that I had left on an empty soup tin and from about 25 ft the lead put dint in it and a bit of a split in the side but didn’t penetrate it . I also tried 9.5 steel and although it seemed to get there faster they only put a dint in it . It’s a w

Probably have it written in the contract that he can’t kick or use knees , there must be something because he won’t have the dodgy Vegas judges to bail him out this time .
-
He is tiny and I think only 19 but he’s had 4 MMA , 27 kickboxing fights unbeaten and over an 100 amateur fights , that’s a lot of fights for a young lad . If they have hand picked him I think they’ve dropped a bollock.

https://apple.news/ApgSrFhXZQcGv0fF7gQFNsg Just seen this on my news feed saying Mayweather is going to fight Tenshin Nasukawa in an MMA fight . If this is really going to be MMA and not just a boxing match in the octagon I can see mayweather getting battered . I’ve seen a few of Nasukawa’s early fights and he looks a bit handy . The report says he’s 4-0 but that’s just in MMA but doesn’t mention he’s 27-0 with 21ko’s in kickboxing aswell . Floyds running and evasiveness won’t really help him when he’s getting hit with leg kicks . Can see him getting done this time , unless he’s dictating

will it not stop doing it if you change the name on the new number slightlty

Had an hour with a mate on a couple of little lodges just up the road this morning . I had 2 and lost one and my mate had one . All the fish came on savage gear panic prey 8.9cm lures , we couldn’t get a touch on any other lures today for some reason

He’s been cleared by the bbboc https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/11510789/billy-joe-saunders-says-he-is-clean-after-adverse-finding-in-voluntary-drugs-test

There was a place not far from me that had a fair few with similar markings . Once we spotted one of them we started looking out for them and saw at least 10 in the next couple of fields , couldn’t get permission on there though . I just assumed someone had let a pet rabbit go and they were off that . I had a permission over Harrogate way that had a couple of ginger ones and one over near garstang that had a few black ones on but I’ve not seen the mixed colour ones anywhere else . When I was a falconer on the tip I used to catch crows on there that had white markings on them , usually it was j

Don’t think Teddy atlas is happy about it . He had picked canelo to win aswell before the fight
-
Was it another bad decision , I’ve not watched it yet but just been reading the comments on the bbc sport website and most are saying it was close but another dodgy decision and just seen on sky sports news that it was controversial and many people had Golovkin winning
-
Can’t believe he agreed to another fight in Vegas after last time but hope he gives him a right paggering . Canelo seems to be one of those fighters you have to knock out to get a draw . It’s not just canelo and his dodgy hand wraps and roids, he’s up against the Nevada state commission who let him and golden boy get away with it and the dodgy judges aswell .

It’s probably something like Chris jones said a few answers back . Nothing to do with Siri being psychic, probably voice recognition and the location of the number I was talking to and maybe because I do go over there a fair bit . Either way there was nothing dodgy happening over there , I just didn’t realise how easy it was to give your location away even though you have most location settings turned off
-
No not yet , I’ll give it a go tomorrow. I have changed some settings though
-
No , the conversation was basically - him, what are you upto tomorrow , me , I’m busy tomorrow I’ll nip over Wednesday morning , him , no worries see you then . That was it . After w katchum put his screen shot up I checked my settings and found that it tells you which apps had been active in the last 24hrs and the maps had been even though I’d not used it . It could be because I’ve got Siri as voice activated and it’s a location I go regularly .
-
There must be some location settings I’ve missed somewhere , i thought I only had them enabled for the weather app . I’ll go through them and and disable it if I can see which one it is

How would it know I was going to sandfield road though . I haven't put his address in my contacts and I’ve only put his first name in the contacts aswell and neither of us mentioned it during the call , all I said was I’d nip over this morning . The only time I’ve used his address on my phone was when I used WhatsApp to send it to another mate earlier on this year
-
Absolutely no idea hence the original post . It was Apple maps on my iPhone not google maps and it’s one of them widgets that are on the screen when you swipe right off the home page . What’s even more confusing is how it knew the person I was talking to lives on sanfield road
-
They must have listened to the phone call because that was the only way it could have known I was going there this morning. I’ve not used any apps to find the address or searched on google because I already know him and where he lives , all I did was say to him I’d nip over this morning while I was on the phone to him on Monday night . Whether it’s interesting to them or not is neither here nor there , the only mention of me going over today was during an actual private phone call , not a text or email or any other app where I’d be typing stuff in

I spoke to my mate on the phone on Monday night and told him I’d go over this morning . Just about to set off and I thought I’d check the Apple news bit on my phone before I go and clocked this underneath the weather . How would Apple maps know I was going there this morning without monitoring the phone call , it’s not like I used the app to find his house because I know where he lives . Is there a legit reason this would happen or do I need to get the tinfoil out
