    Another one bites the dust.

    Hey, I'll tell Neil to get the coffee and biccies in and we'll have a 'Dave' party. Neil can be trigger. :p I have. I went to buy a fly vest for coarse purposes and felt rather unwelcome. Do they do coarse tackle or bait?

    Another one bites the dust.

    Not sure about that, have you heard him? :) We used to say "Can you hear someone building something down the shed?" or "Is that someone falling down the stairs?" :D

    Dave H, exactly, where are we going to get a pint of maggots? I'm ok, Harefield is not too far, but some local pensioner with limited transport is stuffed. I've always made a point of buying local, the cost of internet delivery and hassle of arranging collection was not for me. Then there...

    preparing tares

    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.

    Free fishing St. Pats, Loddon and Thames

    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

    Ebay madness

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

    Free fishing St. Pats, Loddon and Thames

    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

    Roach

    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...

    fox specialist

    Whoops, my bad. :) Let me know what you think of the brolly Si, I like the idea of a 45" brolly but without the bulky mechanism. Otherwise I might try one of these FISHING TENT BIVVY SHELTER LIGHT WEIGHT LAST FEW LEFT | eBay :D

    Crooky, that's unusual for you to over-estimate a measurement of girth. :p

    Great news. Best of luck lads. On the downside, does that mean we can't take the micky out of Crooky now? :D

    Shooting stick seat

    Tim, I have used one and it was fine. Unless you are in very soft swampy mud it won't sink past the collar. At fairs and fetes I have seen rather portly gentlemen sitting on them, and I'm guessing you are svelte enough not to worry. However, DG has hit the nail on the head. I only used it the...
