HAPPY BIRTHDAY Neil Hope you had a good one I suspect you will treat yourself to a fishing trip very soon Dave

Hi all At the last club night Neal, from Court Jester fame, brought over to me a sheet of oil absorbent material. Following my split turbo hose a few months ago I still had some oil floating around the bilge despite using a bilge cleaner. This sheet will absorb only oil so once it has fully soaked up the oil it can be easily disposed of in a clean and environmentally way (I think). It seems a great idea for those with inboard engines to have a sheet of this under or around the engine to soak up any drips/leaks. Not only will it keep the bilge clean but could prevent a possible fire by the oil catching alight if it should get in contact with a hot exhaust. You would of course need to check the state of the absorbent sheet regularly. Did not know if this should have been under the Safety forum thread or not but I thought it may help others that may not know what is available. If you are interested I would you contact Neil by PM or email for more info. Dave

THE LOVE DRESS A woman stopped by, unannounced, at her son's house. She knocked on the door then immediately walked in. She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, totally naked. Soft music was playing, and the aroma of perfume filled the room. 'What are you doing?' she asked. 'I'm waiting for Justin to come home from work.' The daughter-in-law answered. ' But you're naked!' the mother-in-law exclaimed. 'This is my love dress,' the daughter-in-law explained. 'Love dress? But you're naked!' 'Justin loves me to wear this dress,' she explained. 'Every time he sees me in this dress, he instantly becomes romantic and ravages me for hours.' The mother-in-law left. When she got home she undressed, showered, put on her best perfume, dimmed the lights, put on a romantic CD, and lay on the couch waiting for her husband to arrive. Finally, her husband came home. He walked in and saw her lying there so provocatively. ' What are you doing?' he asked. 'This is my love dress,' she whispered, sensually. 'Needs ironing,' he said, 'What's for dinner?'

You can never be pregnant. Car mechanics tell you the truth.. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another petrol station restroom because this one is just too icky.. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks and engines. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase... You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. Your underwear is

Hi guys, Had the email below and thought I would pass it on as many of us use Weymouth Dave --------------------------------------------- Ladies and gents, Sorry to bother you but Please don't ignore this email, Those of you that know Weymouth harbour area are aware that many boats crew (small boat, charter, both dive and fishing, sailing etc) load up and park along side North Quay (This is the area down from Weymouth Angling Centre to the Asda Roundabout, opposite the council offices. The council in there wisdom want to do away with all the parking and loading bays (After just spending 40k on installing parking meters in this area) to turn the parking bays into a Bus lane , the bus lane will go nowhere and its hardly a congested road . There seems to be a "Green plan" to devoid Weymouth of cars, these councillors do not live in the real world! It will cause the following problems 1) Loose the very limited parking harbour users have. 2) Loose the very much used loading bay (used by just about anybody that goes afloat). 3) Loose the Loading bay used for disabled anglers to gain access to the pontoons and the Charter Boat Freedom (Adapted for Disabled passengers) 4) Emergency vehicles will loose area to park should they be required on the North Quay Pontoons (they currently use the loading bays). 5) The council have just announced they have a 900k deficit and now want to take away a parking generated income that recently cost them 40k to install in the first place. 6) It will add additional pressures to a town that already has severe parking shortages. 7) No waiting or unloading in any section of this road. 8) Loss of free Motor cycle parking bays. Please see email address below and help us by mailing your objections to; Richard Penny and Martyn Gallivan (Borough Engineers) richardpenny@weymouth.gov.uk and martyngallivan@weymouth.gov.uk The attachments show these stealth changes and as far as we know there has been no public consultation. Regards Andy Selby PS THE ECHO ARE SENDING A REPORTER DOWN TO THE QUAY AT 1PM SATURDAY 28TH NOV IF YOU ARE AROUND PLEASE COME TO SUPPORT OUR CONCERNS AND BRING ANYONE THAT AGREES WITH US. -------------------------------------------------------------------- HI, GUYS, THE COUNCIL IN THEIR WISDOM HAVE PLANS TO INTRODUCE NO WAITING AT ANY TIME AND ALSO REMOVE ALL PARKING AND WORST OF ALL REMOVE THE LOADING BAY WHICH THE MAJORITY OF YOU USE TO UNLOAD/LOAD YOUR TACKLE. IF YOU COULD TAKE THE TIME TO WRITE A LETTER " SAYING THAT YOU OBJECT TO THE REMOVAL OF THE LOADING BAY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF NORTH QUAY AS IT IS INVALUABLE TO THE LOADING AND UNLOADING OF EQUIPMENT ETC TO NORTH QUAY PONTOONS". PLEASE SEND YOUR LETTERS BEFORE DECEMBER 6TH TO - JOAN BISHOP, COMMITEE SERVICES,COUNCIL OFFICES,NORTH QUAY,WEYMOUTH,DORSET THANKS.

You can tell the weather is bad!!! YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009 when... 1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave. 2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. 3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3. 4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.. 5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses . 6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries. 7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen. 8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it. 10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee. 11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : ) 12.. You're reading this and nodding and laughing. 13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. 14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. 15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list. AND NOW U R LAUGHING AT YOURSELF Dave

If you can read this without laughing, you must be devoid of laughter cells...... This was originally shown on BBC TV back in the 1970's. Ronnie Barker could say all this without a snigger, though God knows after how many takes. The irony is, BBC received not one complaint. The speed of delivery must have been too much for the whining herds. Try getting through it without converting the spoonerisms [and not wetting your pants] as you read....... This is the story of Rindercella and her sugly isters. Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion. Rindercella worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying poss pits, and shivelling shot. At the end of the day, she was knucking fackered. The sugly isters were right bugly astards.. One was called Mary Hinge, and the other was called Betty Swallocks; they were really forrible huckers; they had fetty sweet and fatty swannies. The sugly isters had tickets to go to the ball, but the cotton runts would not let Rindercella go. Suddenly there was a bucking fang, and her gairy fodmother appeared. Her name was Shairy Hithole and she was a light rucking fesbian. She turned a pumpkin and six mite wice into a hucking cuge farriage with six dandy ronkeys who had buge hollocks and dig bicks. The gairy fodmother told Rindercella to be back by dimnlight otherwise, there would be a cucking falamity. At the ball, Rindercella was dancing with the prandsome hince when suddenly the clock struck twelve. "Mist all chucking frighty!!!" said Rindercella, and she ran out tripping barse over ollocks, so dropping her slass glipper. The very next day, the prandsome hince knocked on Rindercella's door and the sugly isters let him in.. Suddenly, Betty Swallocks lifted her leg and let off a fig bart. "Who's fust jarted?" asked the prandsome hince. "Blame that fugly ucker over there!!" said Mary Hinge. When the stinking brown cloud had lifted, he tried the slass glipper on both the sugly isters without success and their feet stucking funk. Betty Swallocks was ducking fisgusted and gave the prandsome hince a knack in the kickers. This was not difficult as he had bucking fuge halls and a hig bard on. He tried the slass glipper on Rindercella and it fitted pucking ferfectly. Rindercella and the prandsome hince were married. The pransome hince lived his life in lucking fuxury, and Rindercella lived hers with a follen swanny! Dave

This might cheer you up 1. A day without sunshine is like night. 2. On the other hand, you have different fingers. 3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. 4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name. 5. Remember, half the people you know are below average. 6. He who laughs last, thinks slowest. 7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. 8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap. 9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture most people have. 10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. 11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines. 12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments. 13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand. 14. OK, so what's the speed of dark? 15. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. 16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now. 17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges? 18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. 19. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice? 20. Why do psychics have to ask you your name? 21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, 'What the heck happened?' 22. Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off. 23. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. 24. Life isn't like a box of chocolates. It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow. Dave

Right With the weather as it is and the forum as quite as a church mouse I thought I would try and get some thoughts going on traces to use when we can all get out! What do the "experts" recommend for a good set up for going after the elusive cod and possible whiting? Do you recommend pennel hooks, if so what is the best sizes? What trace line strength for cod? Similarly what is best for whiting? Lets hear your thoughts Got to get ready for whenever I can get out and just found out my trace wallet has very few "cod" rigs! Dave

Found this link on another site and thought it be useful to others. http://www.visitmyharbour.com/ Dave

To all forum and club members I have been working with the Poole & District Sea Anglers Association to arrange a meeting with a senior member of the Angling Trust to come and give us a talk about the Angling Trust and what they can do to help Sea Anglers with their support. It has now been arranged for Mark Lloyd who is the Chief Executive of the AT to come along and the meeting will be hoisted by the PDSAA at the Parkstone Trades & Labour Club Ashley Road Poole BH14 0BB at 20.00hrs (8.00pm) on 21st January 2010 We have invited all the local clubs and informed the charter skippers and you should see posters up in the local tackle shops very soon. The meeting is open to everyone and is does not matter if you are an AT member or not, everyone is welcome. I have put a reminder on the forum's calender but I will remind everyone nearer the time but I thought it might be worth putting a note in your diarys now. Dave

Hi Charlie I went to Brandon Tool Hire 612 Ringwood Road Poole BH12 4LY T: 01202 733766 Hired for the day, has diamond tips so cuts through brickwork easily and makes a neat hole. Mae sure your drill is up to it! I hired the SDS drill as well, one day is a cheap hire. Dave

Hi Graham I also have one of the planners but you do need a blank SD card. If I remember correctly the Navman needs a 2mb User card. Once you have got the card you need to format the card before saving the waypoints/marks from the plotter. Once this is done you can download the waypoints/marks from the plotter to the User Card. You then insert the C-Map card and the user card into the planner reader and it should show the detailed chart and the waypoints. If you look on the planner menu you will see you can save all the marks/waypoints to the PC. You then have a back up plus you can look up various likely looking marks and add them to your user card. Note that the symbols use to change when I did the transfer from PC to plotter, I don't know why and it could have been me getting it wrong! Hope the above helps Dave

Just had a look on the Poole Harbour live window Showing max gust of 52kts (60mph) Steady blow of 35kts in a Southerly direction! Just heard a weather warning for Christchurch Harbour!! Think I will stay put for the night! Dave

I agree with all the other comments about it being a great talk and demo. I think we can now all agree how safety plays a big part before, during and after each trip. The suggested rules that you guys follow seem very sensible and I am sure that it will not be long before a kayak shows the rest of the club on how to catch fish and win some comps. Thanks again Dave

Hi Graham The fishing boat looks good but I don't recall all the good weather and sunshine as shown in the photo's Good luck on the sale Dave
