Hi Oli, Been away from the site for some time now. It's impressive how you have updated the software and server. I know it is not for the faint hearted If it helps, I may have copies of the old pictures as I did have a backup of the whole site. regards Paul

An ex work colleague of mine from 10 years or so back runs a wedding and photography business. Based in Christchurch area. Jon Roach FourT4 @FourT4 on twitter and he is in my friends list on FB. They have a website you can check out.

Hope you had a good birthday Alan. How's the new pond doing ?

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Not on here much now, need more hours in a day !

Really sad to hear this. I always will remember going over to Alderney with Chris on TigerLily on my first ever charter trip with the club. Chris always had time for us small boat anglers. A true gent and friend of the club. Will be sadly missed.

Hi Rich - long time no see. I was well pleased with the E-Tec, I had no problems with the engine at all. PJ has the same model as I had and I know he had issues with the EMU but was fine after he had it replaced. The servicing costs for my old Honda was partly the reason I went for the E-Tec. my friend has a 130 E-Tec on his Orkney and is well happy with his too. It seems to be the people who dont have them that knock them.

and hopefully we can join you on Monday

Here is a thought. Would this ban have taken place if the UK were outside the EU ?

Have a great birthday PJ

Wasn't the leader, it was the hook knot which came undone - only myself to blame. Was a good fish but was fighting more Eel like than Cod as it header downtide at a fast rate of knots. No head shaking.
