Makes me wonder? Do the Mississippi guys jelly their eels ? When we caught bucket loads on the Boston banks they were all jellied by the next day. Jok.

Drain rods. Jok

I’d go a boat yard to seek advice. Whatever they use (and would probably supply you with) will be perfect for an old chassis. Jok.

Scapa Flow springs to mind. The scuppering of the German fleet. Good diving up there. Jok.

The Isle of Barra. My nephew bought a place there and spent a fair bit getting it ready. Sadly my brother passed and didn’t manage to get there so I have been asked to take his place. June/July I reckon. Jok.

PIANOMAN'S NEW EYESIGHT. BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE.

Xc90 v discovery which one is better for reliability?
jok replied to Lenmcharristar's topic in General Talk
Know what. I have the Honda CRV 2 litre and it is a lovely thing. Comfy, all the extras, quick if you want it to be and my dog loves it. Wifey bought me a boot liner which, with the boot cage, keeps everything nice and tidy. Also it pulls a trailer with ease and is good on fuel. When you first buy one there is an option of 4 wheel drive, which, I found out , had been taken out on my car. Jok. -
I was forced/coerced by my father to help with drystone ‘dyking’ as it’s called in Scotland. Ordinarily, as with yourself, it was mostly stock damage repair. However we did do some quite long stretches and I can’t help but have look when up there to see if it is all still standing. To date that is the case. I was looking at your pics and notice you haven’t used any stretchers, stepping stones which protrude each side of the dyke normally used by shepherds and stockmen. On to Neil.(BakerBoy)When you retire the biggest enemies are the weight and the cold. Nice topic. Jok.

PIANOMAN'S NEW EYESIGHT. BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE.
jok replied to pianoman's topic in General Airgun Discussion
You’ve inspired me to go private. Although I one cataract done, the other eye is quite simply smoke. The biggest worry I have now is driving as have sold or passed on all my guns and tackle. Congrats and it sounds like you have some catching up to do. Enjoy. Jok. -
I reckon most will work on a day rate pal. Jok.

The Common riding in Galashiels is possibly the most famous. We farmed on Threepwood which was a fantastic Hunt meet. Melrose hosted a meet which took place over the Tweed. All in all the hunting fraternity had, and probably still has, a a heck of a following in the Borders.

Reading this thread makes me smile. Just a short way out, on the beach at Mablethorpe are the remains of an ancient forest. Goodness knows how old. Jok.

Dido. I,ve said it many times, in different context, on here. Melrose is the place to go in the Scottish Borders. I was born there and schooled there never mind playing rugby on the famous Greenyards. You have Melrose Abbey, the monks gardens which my grandfather tended for many years. Incidentally , he was the last person to ring The Abbey bell. The finest of salmon runs coming up from Kelso which I know you will like. Quality accommodation with personal friends of mine. All in all, THE place to start your adventures in Edinburgh. I could without doubt, take you on a fantastic adventure in th

Possibly the most renowned junction anywhere. Also the most revered when it comes to salmon fishing. The Crosskeys is highly recommended. However, a few miles upriver and you are in Melrose. Beautiful and possibly the loveliest town in the Borders. My salmon days were not exactly legal. Jimmy Clinkscale, RIP, taught me a number of things including the use of a tennis net and a white tray in the water with me somewhere near with a light and a cleek. Happy days. Jok.

I know this dodging the shot but did any of you guys fish the Tweed? Not so far to travel and some of the best towns in Scotland. No disrespect to Perth mind as we had an hotel in Blairgowrie. Just a thought. Jok.

You might want to let us know how you are getting on ? Jok.

Best anti snail/slug rodent around the garden. Does ping a bit though. Her indoors says, no way hose. Jok.

Sitting here watching a bit of skiing. Looked out the window and there, on March 19th, a pair of cabbage white having a dance. The times they are a changing. Jok.

Ian ‘t it the maddest thing ever? Where are John, George, Harold, Brian, Philip, Ian,Charles and on and on and on. I am fed up of all the latest politicians and news readers etc. etc who are completely taking over. Khan, Singn, Patel, Rishi, and on and on and on. Ah. Fck it. This place has gone crazy. Jok.

70 on March 3rd. Had some cabins for the family up in Ashbourne. What a weekend we had. Wifey just booked a nice little holiday end of April on Cape Verdi. She’s just done a deal with the bosses for 2 day week for the next 2 years in an administration capacity. All in all happy days. When you’ve run the race it’s time to give up. Jok.

Well you guys. I am going for something slightly different. Venison Rhulad. I have been having lamb on a regular basis which we both enjoy immensely so decided, today, as it happens to have a go. I’m thinking,mushroom, onion, garlic, coriander, tomato purée and the obvious salt and black pepper. I have the pastry ready so looking to roll and seal. Our local butcher bastes his in an amazing mix which I’ll have a go at. I’m guessing this needs a while in the fridge prior to cooking so will have a go. QUESTION. Would it be advisable to pre cook the venison mince? My later pics will undoubtably t

Don’t forget the knee length socks. Can’t be too careful. Jok.
