    I don't often look in on here much these days. Just had a glance in and I see this. Only knew John through the fishing comp and we'd talk about Rugby mostly. A massive shock. He was one of the good ones. RIP John.

    Ok Kev thanks. I pop in and have a look now and again. I'm getting ready to retire early next year if things go to plan. Not fishing much, if at all, kinda lost my mojo for fishing TBH. Hopefully get it back when i've finished work. Only got Tess left now and she's getting on, all my permo is being built on, so no more Dogs either. Suppose i'm just treading water at the moment, waiting till I can finish. Can't wait. I'll look in around the comp time, as always it does everyone a credit who make it such a success. Wife's 50th on the 17th August, so probably won't be the

    It was a cold, wet December night in 2008 when the phone rang. It was next door, “Have you got a Dog?” Sue asked. “Don’t be silly” Mrs A said. “You know I don’t like Dogs” “Well there’s one at the bottom of your garden, I’ve heard it barking” “I’ll go and have a look” Mrs A said. Moments later I heard a scream, “It’s a great big effing dog” she cried. I went out to look, sure enough, a big black dog stood there in our garden and barked at us. He was wet through and ran back up to the end of the garden to get under the only slight shelter there was, a Weeping Willow tree. “He’ll be

    In a word, no. Try them in a different lead and see if they work then. The washing machine draws more power than the fridge, the socket on the end of the lead may be burnt out only on that one side, if at all. If the washing machine still doesn't work, try a new fuse in the plug top. 13 amp fuse in the washing machine, 5amp in the fridge.

    I'd like to echo that too D. Sorry I shot of this morning without saying goodbye, but needed to get the van back and Mrs A had an hospital appointment in Leicester that I wanted to take her to rather than having relying on someone else. Congratulations Kev, the weekend was superb and well done on the second win.

    At the moment, just the match. I'm picking the hire van up on Friday evening and leaving early Saturday morning, so may be there in time to fish the river in the afternoon. Depends on the traffic, and if it's anything like last year, i'll be night fishing the river. Get me a ticket for the river Kev, if I don't make it i'll stand the cost.

    I'm fishing a match on a commercial on Wednesday, WTF is happening to me ??

    Only just gone and smashed my PB. I was reeling in one rod to pack away, when the other went off. 13lb 7oz. Over the moon.

    Amazing what you catch on 1 1/2 15mm boillies

    I've smacked an ex England rugby union captain in the gob during a scrum. A bit of a cheap shot really, but ho-hum.

    I may be wrong here Kev. But i'm pretty sure he'll be no better of after that post.................

    Not really after the Chub, but after putting in the amount of hours I have, I should't complain. The 5lb 6oz was a huge Chub, be well over 6 come winter. No belly on it. The river badly needs some water in it, as others would i'd imagine. Rafts of weed backed up behind obstructions just waiting for a flood to move them. Be difficult fishing for a few days after the rain, which is a shame as it will probably fish it's head off.

    3lb 9oz on a dirty great big piece of luncheon meat meant for the Barbel.

    Strange session tonight. In the four seasons I've been on the Dove I've never had so many indications on the rod tip as I've had tonight, two good wrap rounds, one even turned the baitrunner, but no hook ups. Thought I'd get one when it went dark. The river is very low, it could do with a good flush through, some of the best pegs are hardly moving. I'd imagine the Barbel are all hold up in the faster water pegs, sitting it out in the more oxygenated water.
  22. Ossie n Arch
    2lb 4oz In lovely condition.

    The fish I catch are far bigger than 15 MB................
