Brill !

Thanks Dave. We can't afford to be paying fines. We've got boats to fund ! ! ! Cheers. Jim

Happy Birthday John. ( Wotu2uk ) Not seen you at a meeting recently. Hope all's well and you're having a great birthday. Jim

I'll be thinking of you - - - - - AT my desk - - - - - NEAR Fleetsbridge - - - - - - ON a stale sandwich ! Good luck you three. Jim

Ditto.

Steve - - - - -Steve - - - - - - Steve You got me with that one ! Magic. Jim

Scary film. Something needs to be done, but what ? I'm doing MY bit - - - I hardly ever catch anything. Sinking more old ships to create artificial reefs could help. Larger protected areas and MASSIVE penalties for breaching these areas could help too.

He's a big B**ger ! Well done James. Jim

Well done Rob and helpers. You do a lot of work that us " ordinary members " don't see. I take my hat off to you. Jim

Big Ditto Gents. Well done.

Stu's a tough old devil. Chris wrenching at the hook with a pair of pliers turned my stomach, but Stu kept telling him it's OK just give it a tug and a twist. I'm not very good with other people's blood ! ! Thank you both for a good day out. Jim

Hi Andy, Welcome to the Club. Jim

About 10 good sized Whiting, some good sized Pout and some Doggies for Chris ( Kingfisher ) Pout for Stu ( non member ) Cordless Drill, Ratchet spanner and a Mig welder for me ! No seriously, I had two good Whiting, some pout, some doggies and a small Conger. No Cod on our boat. Jim

Have you asked Craig to authenticate it ? ? ?

Happy Birthday Gazza Hope you're having a very good one mate. Are you out fishing anytime soon ? Cheers. Jim

My pleasure Paul. It's a small thing for me to do for people who have given so much. Jim

The wind's increased in speed and moved more Easterly since I looked this morning. I'll see if my Mother in Law can calm things down a bit - - - - Eye of Toad and Tail of Newt etc......... Jim

Sorry Steve. There didn't seem to be much interest and I was made an offer by someone who's PC had died. I didn't want to pass up a buyer with no other apparent interest. The good points: 1 ) It's gone to a club member. 2 ) There's £80 going to Help for Heroes. 3) I may be able to get my hands on something else ( maybe a different spec ) if you're interested. It's down to decisions at work from a far higher level than me. I'll do my best. If you fix yours or buy a new one please let me know so I don't buy something which you don't need. If there are more for sale, it will probably be first come - first served so I'll have to make an instant decision. Let me know if you're interested. Jim

Someone in the club needs a computer now due to the current one being kaput. I'm ending the auction now as there have been no other bids. This is now sold ! Jim

I can do pictures tonight. Thanks for the offer of a screen Rob. It's on-board graphics with a single connector but the buyer could add a cheap graphics card with two outputs and turn it into a much more powerful machine. Jim

metaphorically speaking ? ? ? That's easy for YOU to say Stuie

Greetings. I just bought a computer from work. Dell OptiPlex 380 Dual Core 2.93 Ghz - -- - - Genuine windows 7 Pro - - - - 3 GB RAM - - - - 320 GB HD - - - 17" screen - - keyboard & mouse. I have cleaned the dust and fluff out of it and given it a general check up. I have done a clean install of Windows but no other software. This is a good basic starter machine. Ideal for schoolwork or general office tasks. All of the money raised by this auction will go to Heroes On the Water. I paid £50.00 so that is going to be the reserve. So £51.00 could win it and all £51.00 would go to H O W. I will not post this so it will be collection only or I can bring to the next meeting. The auction will end at 8:00pm on Wednesday the 4th of December. I think I probably need to reserve the right to end this auction early just in case. I don't think I'm breaking any rules, but this is being held in good faith for a good cause. If I've missed anything or broken any rules, could a moderator correct it / delete it as necessary. Jim

Not wise to go for a swim if you're seal-shaped like me !

A happy Birthday to Terry and Eborman. I'm beginning to think that I'm the only one who sees these birthdays at the top of the page. Enjoy it Lads. Jim
