Andrew, very interesting. What do you know of the Carbotec rods?

Howard, chronologically - Normark 1000, 2000, 3000, then Masterline MkII.

Trial and error. 30 years ago I would slowly casserole them in the oven, but last week I popped some straight in a thermos flask (without pre-soaking), left them for 24 hours and they were perfect.

That's a new one on me. Perhaps he was told not to use the 'existing member' application but to use the 'new member' application. Very strange

That's de rigueur now Dave, 32 coats of mahogany yacht varnish :eek:

I think you'll find Crooky is the expert on where to feed and how to feed. He's in charge of the burgers. :D

Excellent fishing Graham. Those minnows are a right pain though. What will those roach be like with a baited hook. :eek: Now that my son-in-law is stationed at Worthy Down it would be rude not to have a dangle whilst I'm down that way. Perhaps we could have a meet up some time? Could even...

Never known the tight wad to share his chocolate though. :p

The story of the new pots and pans never fails to crack me up. :D

THE Barbel God - Dick Dowling. He could catch a barbel out of a sweaty sock. :D What one question would I ask him? Dunno, but I'd have to ask him a few times 'cos I guess he must be deaf as a post now. :( (Do you keep in touch Graham?) Mike - and don't forget the sloe gin. yummmmmmm
