A man starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks. First is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. As he does this, a huge fish jumps out and bites him. To show the others who's boss, he beats it to death with a spade. Realising his employer won't be best pleased, he disposes of the fish by feeding it to the lions, as lions will eat anything. Moving on to the second job of clearing out the chimp house, he is attacked by the chimps who pelt him with coconuts. He swipes at two chimps with a spade, killing them both. What can he do? Feed them to the lions, he says to himself, because lions eat anything. He hurls the corpses into the lion enclosure. He moved on to the last job, which is to collect honey from the South African bees. As soon as he starts, he is attacked by the bees. He grabs the spade and smashes the bees to a pulp. By now he knows what to do and throws them into the lion's cage... because lions eat anything. Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo. He wanders up to the other lions and says: "What's the food like here?" The lions reply: "Absolutely brilliant. Today we had fish and chimps with mushy bees."

Thanks Jim we are very proud grandparents indeed. Liberty Annabell 7lb-5 1/2oz born on Christmas eve at about 1700hrs with mother and baby home by 1930hrs in time for Santa Martin

Welcome Kevin, as said before this is the right place for those that are interested in small boat angling in and around Poole, B/mth, xchurch and surrounding areas. You don't need to be a boat owner to become a member and once joined if you ask you are sure to get invites out onto others boats. Steve Porter is the skipper of True Blue and is a really top bloke running a top boat. If you need another opinion about our club ask him, he'll tell it as it is. Also if your budget is around the price of Collins "Boblin" (Hardy 17) then have a look. I owned one for seven years and had no end of fun with mine. ATB Martin

Happy birthday PJ. Real shame about the weather today still there's always tomorrow or the next day or the day after Martin

With the forecast being a westerly six AWOL will give the comp a miss and fish on Monday instead Martin

Wishing all club members , forumites and friends of PBSBAC A Very Merry Christmas and a prosperous and healthy new year Martin & Veronica

Unfortunately under the current two person rule you will not able to enter the comp if fishing from a Kayak. Your best be would be to crew for a boat. If the weather is pants we will fish the comp and will have room for one however if its flat Dean and I will fly out towards the horizon looking for winter cod Martin

All the best and happy birthday Mike, hope your keeping well Martin

Dave You should attach a leader to your braid of about the same/ or slightly less breaking strain than your braid. Length I use is about 2 rod lengthsish. Your trace can then be whatever strength you like. I tend to use 60/70lb if you connect with a conger you have at least have half a chance. Pennel rig squid on 6/0 - 8/0 sharp hooks but not the fine wire varieties. Squid is fine on a charter for cod, mackerel is ok but will more than likely attract more dogs than anything else, that said cod will eat anything they find, cups & bic razors being just a few things I have found in them. Martin

I'm gettting well peed off with this weather, I can feel a depression coming in and it ain't anything to do with isobars Andy at PSA actually asked if there was a possibility of us holding our comp on the same day as his, would work well I think Martin

Happy Birthday Neil have a good day Martin
