looking good, Graham, very smart, Derek.

Still dont getit!! Derek,

Brian, What is the line you have on that reel!! Derek.

Big welcome Nick, Derek,

answers my question ta! But better result in Jan when HMS Severn working and patroling on behalf of the marine management agency stopped a trawler 200 yes 200 miles off Lands end escorted it to Plymouth where the Trawler owners and skipper where fined by the courts a total of

acording to the article the incident took place 74km from the shore, in english near enough to 50mls, if i am wrong i am sorry but i was asleep during metrication, so, question, where does the navy get authority to board and impose a summary penalty in what must be international waters, Hm customs would love to be able to do just that but i believe their limit of ops is 12mls? just interested in the debate, and others opinion or knowledge, derek.

Spot on Charlie, Pity the two and a half ringer did not apply the maximum (or maybe he did or was following navy guidelines/instructions) this only sends the message to foreign skippers,''come and help yourselves'' bl@@dy ridiculous, Derek

I have climbed some hairy rigging in the past but nothing to compare, you could not pay me enough for that, the strength in his arms must be pheonominal!!! Derek,

Registration done. might be interesting, I would be suprised if the police did not turn out to a mention of guns, through crimestoppers or whatever, nothing unusual there, Derek.

I fid it amazing that a ''fellow angler'' could be so stupid, unthinking, or cretinous as to behave in such a manner, Sympathies for your animals Graham and hope the outcome is good. Derek.

Jamie, Many thanks. Derek

Jamie where did you buy your ''bits?'' Derek.

Selective breeding Rian,, hic.. Derek.

They obviously haven't looked in my tackle shed!!!!! Derek,

Stupid boy!! Derek,

Bit more than 50<<<< no wimpy or piza shop, only Lyons tea house. Ate my fish and chips from news paper, no pretty little polythene containers to litter the countryside with. no car in the family just shankses pony or a battered old bike, but good times<< leave your front door open, your handbag was safe on your shoulder, a jam jar was the price of getting in to saturday morning pictures, crystal sets and accumulator powerd ''steam radio'' Trams and trolley buses with open stairs to the top deck, and so on, BUT GREAT TIMES, (as a child) Derek,

A very sheltered mooring!!! Derek,

I think I married one a long long time ago,

Happy birthday Paul, Derek.

You poor thing Dave, can't you find an early xmas party somewhere.

I like it -- I-li--li--li--li--li--li--li--li--Like it,

Dave, Bad, bad taste for the time of the year, remember a lot of people in the club or on the forum are, or where, heavily involved with the RNLI.... For the record the investigation concluded the Solomon Browne fouled her screws on rope trailing from the ship, Newlyn, and '' Moushole'' took a long time getting over it. Their ''remit'' is to SAVE LIFE AT SEA, Any life Dave, even yours!!!!!!! My certificate of service says that in my time as Mech/Cox our boat saved 162 lives and I know that a lot of them will have been ''dopey divers'' I can say no more for fear of oversteping the mark. Tight lines all, I am going to find a large tot,, Derek V.

Wonderfull!!!! if only, Only in America, God bless,

I was moored level with Trevor on the inside ''string'' only real problems-- Duck & Gull Poo and no they are not afraid of plastic owls. another point you will need a dingy/tender, not too posh, I did suffer with scroats throwing stones into the boat, The dingys especialy in the summer do suffer, attracting children and youths to dance on and in them. you may as well know the bad sides as well as the good. Derek.

Hello Freddie, Brings back memories of 50yrs ago,Bit differant now i should think, Used to dance the night away in Delmonico's and drink the days away in the ''Ticky Hock'' bar, Derek,
