codpiece

A tad smaller Martin !!!!!!! but yes that pattern small dingy size it is going to anchor a dingy containing some flowers and an old lobster pot in my front garden. daft init ?? Derek.

hi lads codpiece on the prowl yet again. wanted as part of a garden ornament a rusty crappy old a/ptn dingy anchor the rougher the better. thanks for the trouble and tight lines to you all. derek.

Sparky, in my crazy youth the description used in the ''andrew'' ( RN ) to describe us was "muff " " chuff" or " standard dress " Derek.

I still recon your trout are better looking than you trev dv

At my age Brian it would not matter, in fact i might even find it pleasurable, i cant remember the last time my gonads itched, !!!!!!!! Derek

Steve , At my age finding a fantasy hole with x marking the spot would be fantastic. Derek,

How easy things change. Some years ago (50+) i was the only diver using Mudeford this was during the crayfish wars ''down west'' and the dislike and suspicion of divers was rife. i had just come out of the RN as one and did a few recovery jobs for the mudeford lads and gained their trust, but i digress. diving near hengistbury head for some lost pots i actualy found them fouled in a spitfire around which the sand had scoured. this obstruction was not known. it was not on decca or any chart. we informed the RAF museum at hendon they asked me to go down again for a specific task ie to remove a part of the engine which had a number on it, they put this number to a spitfire believed to have been shot down in the channel the pilot nearly got home!!! the point------his remaing family where taken out on Andy Russels boat and placed a reath over its position that wreck was never seen or charted again, the sand just swallowed it up i gave up many years ago trying to find it again but never did, i have posted thinking some might be interested stuff disappearing is far from being modern, sorry to be long winded. Derek

I dont have the faintest idea what anyone is talking about!!! i have tried routing my fufu valve through my chuff box while sitting in my koi pond but all i got was a rush of air and my phone has stopped working. derek

Trev, Will it still be working tomorrow, derek

I smiled as well mike, I think it is a pink spotted greater catfish but then i had a few last night!!!! Derek,

Well lads, to get you up to date, i now have two very pretty oars, far better looking than anything i have seen in Basingstoke, i thank you all for the interest in my loss and for the many good wishes i have received. tight lines all, Derek.

Rob you have a PM derek

Rob thank you very much i will measure up to make sure one way or "tother" and contact you tomorrow, derek,

Thanks lads at least i am now laughing just a little bit, another teaser for you all the pillock also lost my boat hook now i know basingstoke has a reputation (jack radio) but he is a well educated bmw technician but none the less has succomed to basingstoke/itis derek,

rob, pity 6ft is the minimum they sit on my orkney long liner as secondry propulsion if engine goes poof!! my son had the boat for a while and lost them, how the bloody hell you lose a pair of oars in basingstoke is beyond me!! derek,

yes rob, many thanks, just tell me when and where and how much, tight lines derek

hi all i am looking for a pair of 6ft plus oars if anyone can help please pm me or i will be at the club meeting thursday derek

interesting comment on carbon fibre rods Mike, mine are all spun glass, derek,

Hi Mick quick question, What is it like being up a gumtree, Derek,

i feel so alone and unloved!!!!

not killer whales (stupid nickname) orca is what they are. i hope they enjoyed having fun with the speed boat as much as i enjoyed watching, their obvious high intelligence never stops amazing me.........derek,,(killer mammal)

I have used a Sundridge En-tec 2 full suit for some years with no complaints, it has the advantage of having a thermal flotation aplication as i am sure most of the others have but in NO WAY does this negate the need for a life jacket. derek.

Brian,, I expect it is the age << i know who Cheryl Cole is, but who the hell are the others?? Derek V

JUST FOR INTEREST, DONE A LOT OF THEM OVER THE YEARS, MADE QUITE A FEW BOB WITH PEOPLE FROM THE PAST LIKE ANDY RUSSEL, ANTON PROCTER, ETC, MY OWN TRAWLER ''DREDGER'' WAS FROM THIS TIME SOME 45 YEARS AGO. DEREK.

Christ!!!! the ba**tards are breeding. Derek,v,
