Nice one Rob.

Strange looking fish. Well done Kev. I remember Adam & Rob catching one a few years ago.

Lovely healthy looking fish Steve. Well done for returning it. Been a few years since I had a Bass so I'd be eating it so I take my hat off to you for putting it back ! Jim

Flippin Heck Neil. That was a long one but well worth it !

I almost gutted one of Martin's He just caught me in time !

Steady ! ! ! ! ! I think it's probably much too powerful for my little bit of hair.

Thanks Chris. I really enjoyed that cocktail.

Garden shredder is now gone. Terry picked it up yesterday and gave me some dosh to put in the HOW box at the next meeting. ( Sandy & Nigel please remind me ) Thanks Terry. Jacqui's changed her mind on the leaf blower. She's found a spare bag on T'internet and wants to keep it.

Oil was my first thought too. The ETec will run when low or no oil but only in limp-home mode. Failing that . . . . as Swellboy said . . .ask a pro.

Nice one Hooky Watch out for them Arrows.

As I said . . . . . .You bunch of absolute ROTTERS ! Terry: Thanks for the offer but my Boss isn't called Darth Vader cos he's nice y'know. Mick: I saw a Pilot 4 come past our office window ( yes on a trailer ) I think that was yesterday. No Rod tubes on that one though. Seriously though. Enjoy yourselves all ! ! ! Jim

Just looked at Online users. There was: Me, Terry, & 3 guests. I suppose all the rest of you Rotters have gone fishing without Me! Lovely day for it. Enjoy ! Jim

Now pack it in you lot! It makes Graham's hip hurt when he laughs.

Swift recovery Graham. Jim

Indeed Jerry. She only has the ONE fault. . . . . . . . . Her taste in Men!

Tuesday looked like a good day so we planned to catch a few Mackerel. Found out that my steering was locked up due to lack of use. For anyone who can remember . . . . . . Plus Gas ! We searched all over for it and found it on the Ashley road at SMC ( opposite Inexcess ) ish. I bought a mini grease gun and loaded it with Plus Gas. That freed it. Then we oiled & greased it. We set off from home at about 5 ish but didn't bother with rods. My brother came along too. We had a nice little jolly around the harbour and looked outside but it was a bit lumpy for Tiddler. After a few hours we got back to the slip . . . . . . .do you remember I fitted a new winch recently ? ? Well it was a cheapo fleabay job. It chewed the teeth off and wouldn't winch Tiddler back on the trailer! Well you can imagine the tears of joy running down my face and the phrases I was using! " I say! this is an interesting little challenge. I'm going to enjoy working around this one " That sort of thing. We got Tiddler home OK and Jacqui treated us to a Toby Carvery at Fleetsbridge. She has now bought me a new winch from Force 4 . . . . . . . She couldn't get to sleep with all that crying & wailing ! So ! . . . . . Lessons learned . . . . 1 ) Even if you think you've greased & tried everything . . go around and double check . . . then check again. 2 ) SMC on Ashley road sell Plus Gas ( far better for freeing stuff than WD40 ) 3 ) Cheap crap from Fleabay may be a false economy. 4 ) Crying & wailing may get you a Toby Carvery. 5 ) Crying & wailing may get you a new winch. It was still good to get out again. . . . First time this year. Jim

Indeed. Beer & Cake ! Have a very happy Birthday Mick & Kim. Jim

It's yours Terry, I can hold onto it for another week or drop off at Martin's if that's easier for you both? Anyone need the leaf blower? Time's running out!
