I'll be on a Duck do next week too.

I don't usually use hooks Rob. I usually just tie the bait on with a bow so it's easier for them to steal.

Happy Birthday Sam. Beer & Cake ? or are you off that so your wedding suit fits? Enjoy your day. Jim

Thanks Alun, I did think that but it's one of those decisions that we choose the wrong one and then think . . . . .I should have . . . . . Cheers. All advice always welcome. Jim

Tiddler gets out. We decided earlier in the week to try to get out Friday afternoon. I'd been watching the forecasts and wind was expected. I looked out from my office window and the trees were whackering about all over the place. The wind speed was forecast to increase in the afternoon so I thought perhaps I'd better not go. I sent a text to Jacqui saying that I thought it best not to go because of the wind. Pansy ! was her reply. Right ! ! I was straight on the phone to order some worms. Yes it was breezy. Yes there was weed all over the place. But it was lovely out there. We stayed in the harbour. I had 2 small bass & a small bream. One of the Bass was deeply hooked and it took a while to get the hook out. I struggled to get my head around throwing back a fish that was almost dead. I know it's all down to people who abuse the rules & spoil it for the rest of us. I had a hard job explaining it all to Jacqui. It floated away on it's back so I guess some seagulls had a very nice supper. Saw Big Col & Bobi on Boblin2 and stopped for a quick natter. This was Tiddlers first trip out this year and we both enjoyed it. Jim

Happy Birthday for yesterday Jerry. Hope it was a good one. Jim

Happy Birthday Martyn. I believe I'm spelling it correctly ? Have some Beer & Cake Jim

Welcome Neil. Yep ! Mal is a Gent and is also our safety officer. Jim

Quote " keep my trap shut until it happens. " Ed Zachary ! I expect one day a scientist will come up with a formula of why when we talk about our plans . . . . . They always go " Boobs Up ! ! " Not that I object to " Boobs Up " Jim

Nice to see you too Graham & your lovely wife too. Yep. Smashing day for it. Came home and made a start on clearing the Garage. Jim

Don't tell em Pike ! ! You'll tell us when you're ready Trev. We're all curious now though. Don't say anything that'll put the Kiss of death on it. ATB Jim

The Colchester links into a PC if needed And I know some of the secrets of the control system. Can't say more on a public forum. Jim Now then. Are you Wet & Sniffy enough ?

I used to work on one of these: Bargain ! ! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cnc-lathe-CNC-machine-/302316557137?hash=item4663789351:g:S1kAAOSwSypY9mBn There ! That's wet your appetite .

The weather's not good. I'm 3D printing some more bits for my mate so I'm using my time to tidy up a bit. I've got 2 CNC lathe instruction manuals here for the Fanuc OT system. I was going to throw them out but it seems a shame. Anyone got a use for them. They're free. Shout up quick if you have . . . . . or they'll be in the bin. Wedger ? Jim

Well done Mike. Good advice. Jim

Happy Birthday Budgie. I had one of your jackets back in the 1970s Anyway . . . have some of this. Jim

Lovely

It's my age . . . . Stink of wee & forget things.

Or the LACK of it Mick.

Being at the age where this affects me It's a very good question. I seem to drink 1 . . . . & Pee 5 Probably to do with saving money and the costs of Vandalism / People sleeping rough & taking drugs plays a large part on the decisions. ?

Happy Birthday Mick. As they say down south . . . . . . " Ave summa that " Jim

Probably the " Cup of Tea & a Slice of Cake " that won you over Martin.

Hi Martin, I remember you having a " reading head " & " a handsome head " Now you have a " Club forum head " Jim

A very close result. There seemed to be quite a few fish in very small areas. You could be in them and someone a few yards away ( or feet in my case ) not be in them. Mostly seemed about 1½ to 2lb Very enjoyable day afloat. Thanks Neal for organising. Well done to the winners. Jim

Love to come out but my boss wouldn't be very happy so I'll have to give it a miss.
