  1. Mate you sound like a part timer ffs. You should get in my company and believe me there would be incidents. I normally stay reasonably quiet in the corner thanks to previous training, talk when I need to say something meaningful when required and then just blow when some berk says the wrong thing. It has got me into one or two scrapes. Bottom line, tell them to fck off or Jok will be down . happy days. Jok.
  2. My offering to the lads down the local. Game pies including venison, mallard, pheasant and partridge with all the herbs and spices. As it’s my 70 th shortly I’ll include a reasonable amount of hooch to go with them. The lovely one has booked us all in to holiday chalets in Ashbourne so a really happy start to the New Year.
  3. You can have the best gear available but if you are short on common sense it all goes out the window. Jok.
  4. Had a long spell cutting down trees and logging in general. It was a winter thing whilst the marquees were quiet. Dropped an ash over a bit of a ditch on our shoot but unfortunately was by myself. Long story short, trapped in said ditch under the tree. No phone and no assistance. Was quite an experience getting out of that one. Jok.
  5. I will say that these guys and I’m saying a lot of them are sorely missed on this forum because of the interest they promote with subjects that we might not have any knowledge about. Jok.
  6. I would love this chap to come back with posts. He was very interesting and always a good read. Jok.
  7. I wonder if Skipton still has the huge numbers? That moor was alive. You could look over a wall, clap your hands and the place would move. Best was 124 in or on 2 mornings. The were good days. Jok.
  8. A book by Charles Ritz on grayling fishing springs to mind. The only grayling I caught was on the Tweed at Melrose. Jok.
  9. Jok and all his wish the same to all. Jok.

    Sciatica

    Go my route. New hip. Shoulder keyhole surgery. Wrist surgery. Prostate problems with cameras going up everywhere. You’ll soon forget the sciatica pain. Just an observation mind. Jok.
  11. Wow! Didn’t know there were that many still living. I haven’t seen a rabbit, even roadkill, in our area for quite a while. Nice one. Jok.
  12. Yes in a way. They very large white flakes and don’t eat like other predators imo. Jok.
  13. Almost as good as Zander my friends. A used to be friend, brought some monkfish from Birmingham market but didn’t let us on how long it had been in his van. My wife and I very, very ill. I’m still waiting on, including Paulus, my friends to catch me possibly the best fish I have ever had, the Zander. Looking forward to cooking someone a carte Blanche dinner. Jok.
  14. It’ll be an Over Finch or Khan I reckon. Jok
  15. Well guys. I’m having a go at a venison dish inside a suet pastry. Got a bottle of Porter and am going to give it a go. Got this memory of both Gran and Mum steaming suet puddings so willing. Thing is, the lovely one bought us an M & S dinner based on beef which triggered my thoughts. Will see. Jok.
  16. You are a good un Paul. I’m going to ask a few questions at Snarestone to see what is going on in the tunnel. Jok.
  17. Superb. Whilst living in Northampton we used to go to Boston to catch the big boys. A stop off to get some bleak and away we went. Now my memory could well be fuzzy but I recall up to 5.1/2 lbs. Not only that we would have a bath full. Back home mid morning and started cutting. Jok.
  18. Plonker aren’t I. Environment Agency. Jok.
  19. As you know, we live in a four county environment. We have NW Leics, Derbs, Staffs and Warks. Who, given this, gives the OK for regular electro fishing I wonder ? Jok
  20. Yes that’s one of them. Following this topic not only on here but locally, has electro fishing decimated the population of Zander? I am not a coarse fisherman but bump into quite a few who are. They’ve told me tales of very big fish being ‘chucked’ over the hedge. Equally, one of my friends has said how hard it is to get beyond the perch and pike to tempt the zander. There are one or two on here living on boats around our area. Wonder how they are doing? As has been said before, by me, anyone lucky enough to get a reasonable fish and wishing to let me have it would be welcome to a gourmet dinn
  21. Sooner or later I would like to say a hello. I think we may already know each other, maybe not. Jok.
  22. It’s the smallest of worlds. I spent days on end with Mr Frisby and met quite a number of his friends. We spent hours in the sheds with his dogs and ferrets. Indeed he sorted me out with one or two. I used to fetch loads of pallets from the Yamaha dealership in Hinckley which we would take apart to make chicken pens and the like. I was also great pals with the Appleby Frisby which was how we were introduced. Geoff is still living on the farm although it is rented out to the biggest farmers in the area, Corbett. Jok.
  23. Well Paulus, as you very well know, there are certainly 2 stretches of canal, very close to you, that produce very big zander. One a longish tunnel near Measham and the other a boatyard very close to you. I wonder if you remember Mr Frisby owning some land in Dadlington. Just thinking out loud . Jok.
  24. Nice to see one of my boxes still looking the business Arry. Jok.
  25. Now then guys. I’ve just made my fourth lot of faggots and meatloaf. The guys reckon I’m on a winner. Who else makes these delicacies and what is their recipes? Jok.
