    We only watched "Blazing Saddles" on Saturday night.........very sad news. A very funny man and a great writer.

    Haven't measures the mesh, but I'd guess it's around an inch and a half. (Also got 75 purse nets for another 20 quid, so I'm not complaining..... bargain!) Regarding splitting the long net, what do you reckon ? A longer one and a couple of shorter ones, a series of shorter ones , couple of longer ones or woat ? Sorry for the dumbass questions, but I haven't even started on poles yet !

    Picked up my first long net for 20 quid the other day. Fella said it wasn't too long, but when I unrolled it, it's about 200 yards ! Would I be better off breaking it into smaller lengths ?

    "Freedom go to hell" doesn't even make any sense.......it's only because they are in a free(ish) country that they are allowed to wave placards like that. Remove the freedom and you remove the right to denounce freedom......why do I feel like I'm chasing my own tail here ? There's no reasoning with the idiots !

    My girlfriend came home with a book called "Cheap and Easy Vegetarian Cooking". Which was nice, because not only is she a vegetarian....

    If youre not happy with the set-up.....don't donate ! Have a nice day, chaps.

    Then maybe they should be more aware that their actions may have consequences. There are clear warning s about what is and what isn't acceptable. Or not donate......whatever.

    the whole point mate is I do have PayPal, but if I click to become a donator, it sends me straight to a form that asks for everything, I don't want to send all my personal info into cyberspace just to give a fiver, i,m amazed anyone donates, it even asks for your private phone number, has anyone ever had a call from thl? Its rediculous The only require fields are name and address....the rest is optional.

    mate I trade quite a bit on eBay, I only do PayPal or cash on collection, I have never been scammed it's not possible, you gets your money and you post your goods, your personal details are kept between seller and buyer, I,m a low tech bloke in a high tech world, but even I can get on with it I can understand that you might not want to leave your details here, there and everywhere, but to have accounts at PayPal and eBay you have to provide at least a basic level of personal details - name and address. That's all that's needed here - you pay with your PayPal........

    That's it mate, Barker had everything. Great acting skill and perfect comic timing. Only other comedy great with timing anywhere near his level was Eric Morecombe imo. Different type of comedy but the same skill. David Jason is another one mind.. David Jason played Blanco Webb in "Porridge", of course, just on for the many memorable minor characters, all superbly portrayed.Lukewarm, 'Orrible Ives, Bunny Warren and McLaren....and who wouldn't be terrified of Genial Harry Grout ? (What was the name of Brian Glover's character ? The really thick fella...."I read a book once.....green, it was.")

    Don't skip them, mate - everything's worth something..........! And it might be the only phone that works up there !

    I was in my local Indian restaurant last night. The waiter said "Curry OK, sir ?" I said "Go on, then. One song and then you can f*** off !"

    That's in the same scene as the doctor asking for a urine sample, and saying to Fletch "I want you to fill one of those containers." Fletch replies "What, from here ?" Cracks me up every time !
  25. Blackbriar
    I still watch repeats of "Porridge". Superbly written and immaculate comic timing - it never seems to age !! On for the many memorable exchanges between Fletch and Mr McKay....... "Wait a minute ! What have you men got there ?" "Balls, Mr McKay." "Why are they different sizes ?" "That's life, sir !"
