Well done James Always good to hear about the kayak exploits and what a great day for it !! the sail sounds a bit tricky.......must get the speed up and adrenalin flowing. Dave

HOT ONE Mike............... and while there are those that agree and those that don't, the issue of Europe/ Politicians and staying British goes well beyond the fish and fishing policies. The debate could get heated and a very wise man once said to me .........don't discuss Politics or Religion if you want it to remain peaceful. AND a program in the 70's succinctly added..........don't mention the Nazis...!!!! ..LOL SO ......been a lovely weekend but with no reports so far I see....... anybody been out on the water ????? Dave

bigbassman...... You couldn't do better than joining this club and it's merry band of smelly jacks....worth every penny. Loads of friendly faces, helpful advice, usual club benefits and social events. So have a think about putting some faces to names and catching up with us at the odd monthly meeting or out on the water. The forum is just the start of the adventure. Welcome bigbassman......Stay safe mate. Dave

Happy Birthday Dan. Dave

Happy Birthday Dean. Dave

well done lads and thanks for the report and photos !!! Dave

This is where the photos help Rob !! Dave

WHAT PART OF YOUR BODY GOES TO HEAVEN FIRST? The nun teaching Sunday School was speaking to her class one morning and She asked the question: 'When you die and go to Heaven... Which part of your body goes first?' Suzy raised her hand and said: 'I think it's your hands.' 'Why do you think it's your hands, Suzy?' Suzy replied: 'Because when you pray, you hold your hands together in front of you and God just takes your hands first.' 'What a wonderful answer!' the nun said. Little Johnny raised his hand and said: 'Sister, I think it's your feet.' The nun looked at him with the strangest look on her face. 'Now, Little Johnny, why do you Think it would be your feet?' Little Johnny said: 'Well, I walked into Mummy and Daddy's bedroom the other night, Mummy Had her legs straight up in the air and she was saying: 'Oh ! God, I'm coming!' If Dad hadn't pinned her down, we'd have lost her.." The Nun fainted!...... Dave

Charlie I would have loved to join you but Ben has rugby !! Hope you get a crew and enjoy your day !! Dave

The Countryside Alliance has got a fishing section too.....although it is mainly for Sport/Fly fishing they do support course fishing too I believe....... They have been campaigning for years now and have considerable "clout" I believe. Worth forging some bonds and considering some joint campaigns with them too I would think !! If it is possible !! Dave

Happy Birthday Paul...... Should have mentioned it last night while I was at the bar.... Many Happy Returns Dave

Mike .....Sadly these people exist and mostly because of good self respecting and patient souls like yourself......I personally agree with the others who say complain to the owner and negotiate some financial compensation, and if this doesn't work then contact Trading Standards. Did you keep a log or diary of the events ?? I know it probably seemed inappropriate at the time....but would be invaluable now !!! Hindsight a wonderful thing. Good luck .....hope it is all resolved to your advantage Are you going to the monthly gathering/meeting this eve..?? a good way to meet the "lads" and a good intro to the club. Hope to see you there. Dave

Happy Birthday Tom Dave

A blonde went into a world wide message centre to send a message to her mother overseas. When the man told her it would cost $300, she exclaimed: "I don't have any money." But I'd do ANYTHING to get a message to my mother." The man arched an eyebrow (as we would expect). "Anything?" he asked. "Yes, yes, anything" the blonde promised. Well, then, "Just follow me" said the man as he walked towards the next room. The blonde did as she was told and followed the man. " Come in and close the door" the man said. She did. He then said "Now get on your knees." She did. "Now take down my zipper." She did. "Now go ahead ... Take it out....." He said. She reached in and grabbed it with both hands . Then paused. The man closed his eyes and whispered .. "Well ... Go ahead." The blonde slowly brought her mouth closer to it and while holding it close to her lips, .... .tentatively said .... "Hello. Mum, can you hear me?"

Happy Birthday Mark Have a good day ZZippy Dave

Just beat me to it Paul....here is the article... Irish Bass Stocks in Danger Mike Thrussell 01 February, 2010 09:30:00 When in Ireland last year I became aware that commercial pressure was coming to bear for the bass protection legislation to be lifted. Currently no angler may take more than two bass per day immaterial of whether you

Thanks Adam........For responding and for the advice ...I will pass it on Dave

Hi all A pal'o'mine asked me if any one at PBSBAC has, or knows of, a 2nd hand dive gas bottle for sale.....he is not a diver but wants the bottle to be able to store at 230 bar for another use. Any info ref 2nd hand bottles would be good. Thanks in anticipation. Dave

Happy Birthday Martin Many happy returns too !! Dave

Happy Birthday Brian Many Happy Returns ......yet another drink I owe you !!! Dave

Crackers is a word that comes to mind........Cracking flounder Mark and some good pics too. Well done you nutters !! Dave

Well done mate.....wish I had wet a line.... anywhere will do........MUST get out on the river or lake next week. Dave

I joined last week........and have been thinking.... In my professional career I was required to have achieved a certain status and qualification AND join a body called the Engineering Council before I could become a Chartered Member .....and I was required to be Chartered to practice as an Engineer. I wonder if this would be the sort of thing that could be applied to leisure fishing clubs such as ours. We already have to pay our water authority license to fish inland waters....could all clubs make membership of the AT a requirement of joining the club ....proof would be required annually at renewal !! (there may be the stumbling block !!) Just a thought.....All clubs would need to sign up to this too.....so there would need to be some central co-ordination......AND already I am talking my self out of this.....What a stupid idea !! OH well.......I had a dream !! Dave

You definitely got too much time on your hands .....!! haven't you got any other hobby but boats ?? Keep 'em coming BR Dave
