am out of the area tomorrow but if i can get back in time i will be there.

I am suprised nothing has been written as I saw lots and lots of boats out in the harbour fishing on Sunday. I had a little paddle out on a yak in the afternoon and spoke with a couple of crews on board boats who had become very frustrated at drowning worms for the day. Maybe everyone blanked and no one wants to be the first to say

signing in at Poole is much better for me, but what about weigh in? Would there be two weigh ins?

Exactly Pirky .... It is refreshing to know that its not just us part timers that get it wrong ..... Mind you I get it wrong EVERY time !

Two blond girls were working for the council works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole in.. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again. An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, 'I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting into your work, but I don't get it -- why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?' The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed, 'Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the girl who plants the trees called in sick.

ha ha, that made me laugh out loud ...... very good

I have "special guest" tickets and intend on being there one day this week although not sure which day yet. Unfortunately it cant be wednesday!

some of them looked like they would tip over! I suppose it just goes to show how bouyant boats really are.

yep, end of panic. They obviously just left early (and who would blame them). Out with the wallet again today :-)

ha ha Jim, I had to look twice at that the first time too. Anyway .... I got the impression from the guy at their door that they had GONE, and not just left for the day. I will pop down tomorrow and check again (and probably spend even more money with them if they are about)

we didn't have much snow down here, but I hope you are right. I have always found them to be a good bunch in there.

I popped down to force4 (on Bournemouth Road, Poole) today for my usual little chat with the blokes down there and it was all shut up???? A guy outside was stopping traffic from going into their drive (which also had a bollard up) and he told me they closed up shop and left at 1 today?? Tell me its not gone for good, I used to enjoy my little visits down there and have spent a small fortune there over the years.

me too :-)

slightly better than the "Cracker jokes" we have been subject to recently ...... but only VERY slightly.

there are some show offs on here now Merry Xmas all.

I always called those "Rocky things" a Rockling .... I might be completely wrong tho'. Am afraid instead of fishing with my son, I spent the day taxi-ing my daughter around today when her head gasket went on her car yesterday Maybe next year huh?

No competition held by and sponsored by Andy @ Poole Sea Angling Centre See HERE Martin I stand corrected. I am sure i saw it advertised in Wessex window, maybe thats where i got confused. (I'm not as young as i used to be ) Apologies to Andy @ Poole Sea Angling Centre.

I think you will find its the Poole Sea Angling Cod comp on the 27th unless there are 2 comps Martin Sorry, my mistake. I thought wessex angling and poole angling were the same place. Is it being sponsored by Wessex possibly??

the Wessex Angling cod comp is the 27th. If its this sunday (20th) i intend being there.

car park is free on Sunday from 10.30 till 4.30 for Xmas shoppers.

I will be out on the 20th too Zippy ...... I just gotta master this "staying upright" bit yet :-)

I would absolutely love to Charlie, but I am not sure my tummy could cope with the swell at the moment.

deleted post. Sorry that didn't sound very nice when i read it back.

Superb day Zippy..... great bunch of blokes (and women) very very well done for your organising it and thanks too. I have not laughed so much for years.
