I'll second the good service from Navico. My original Eagle FishElite Plotter/Fishfinder packed up, when it was well out of warranty. I sent it to Romsey, they checked it and condemned it, but gave me a generous allowance towards a Lowrance HDS5. I'd had the HDS5 a couple of years when I did a sotware update, after that it kept freezing. I Emailed Navico and they put a new unit in the post, saying to return mine when the new one arrived.

Just about re-joining the land of the living.

Change of plan, too much wine last night.

I'm going.

Chris Goodall and partners are selling their Beneteau Antares 650 HB with 115hp Suzuki. It's advertised at £16,995 but will consider any offers that aren't daft! For more info. contact Chris on; 01202 884141 goodall.chris@gmail.com

Happy Birthday Kam.

It's not for CB frequencies (although I have got those as well). Off for a 10-100, so 10-50 catch you on the flip flop.

As an addition to this. I have a professional VSWR meter, if any member needs to check their aerial.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD? WELL......YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE! MY NAME IS WENDY MULLEN AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DENTAL DIPLOMA,WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME. SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY SECONDARY SCHOOL CLASS SOME 40-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN? UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT. THIS BALDING, GREY HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS FAR TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE. AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK SECONDARY SCHOOL . 'YES, YES I DID. I'M A MORGANNER! 'HE BEAMED WITH PRIDE. 'WHEN DID YOU LEAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE?' I ASKED HE ANSWERED, IN 1965. WHY DO YOU ASK? 'YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!' I EXCLAIMED. HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY. THEN THE UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, FAT ARSED, GREY HAIRED, DECREPIT, BASTARD ASKED.. 'WHAT SUBJECT DID YOU TEACH?

Here's a little story to cheer up all men….. After experiencing the discomfort and embarrassment of a Prostate test on the National Health Service, a friend of mine decided to have his next test carried out while visiting in Thailand where there are beautiful nurses who are more gentle and accommodating. As usual, he was asked to strip off, he lay naked on his side on the bed and the nurse began the examination. "At this stage of the procedure it's quite normal to get an erection," said the nurse. "I haven't got an erection," said the man. "No, but I have" replied the nurse.

Happy Birthday Jim.

Just saw this advertised by a member of the Warrior Owners Club. Not too far away (Hampshire). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warrior-165-Pro-Angler-Fishing-Boat-with-Honda-75hp-4-Stroke-Outboard-Trailer-/391104687213?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5b0fa7ec6d

A bit late, but. Happy Birthday Derek and Paul.

Happy Birthday Adam.

Does this mean that every-time we accidentally hook one, we've got to report it? Their phone is going to be very busy.

For all of you in education, with sons, grandsons, or who just love the things little kids say ~ a reminder that adult words are often taken literally..... 'Circumcised' (this is priceless!) A teacher noticed that a little boy at the back of the class was squirming around, scratching his crotch, and not paying attention. She went back to find out what was going on. He was quite embarrassed and whispered that he had just recently been circumcised and he was quite itchy. The teacher told him to go down to the principal's office. He was told to telephone his mother and ask her what he should do about it. He did and returned to his class. Suddenly, there was a commotion at the back of the room. She went back to investigate only to find him sitting at his desk with his 'private part' hanging out. 'I thought I told you to call your mum!' she said. 'I did,' he said, 'And she told me that if I could stick it out until lunchtime, she'd come and pick me up from school.

So what do we do with any that we hook when fishing? We can't use them as bait and we can't dispose of them in the sea.

Slipper limpets not permitted to be used as bait or disposed at sea By Press Release - Mar 30, 2015 This article was last updated on March 30th, 2015 Advice on the release of live or fresh slipper limpets (Crepidula fornicata) The MMO is advising all marine users that the release of live or fresh slipper limpets (Crepidula fornicata) into the wild is an offence. The slipper limpet is a marine mollusc and is a non-native species in the UK. They can starve and smother native shellfish and compete for food and space with oysters. Damage to shellfish by slipper limpets can affect the ability of fishermen to sell their catch, particularly oysters mussels and scallops. See information on the slipper limpet on the GB Non-native Species Information Portal (GBNNSIP) The molluscs are already established in South England and South Wales although they are not currently prevalent in the North of England. The release of slipper limpets to the sea is an offence and must be avoided in order to protect shellfish beds that are currently free of this species. This includes the use of live or fresh slipper limpets as an angling bait, or disposal at sea, which may allow the escape of eggs and larvae into the marine environment. Sea users who find slipper limpets should report to the Marine Biological Association. Marine users who are aware of any use or disposal of slipper limpets should report the information to the MMO.

They can usually repitch by a maximum of 2" either way.

Yes, They moved a few years ago. I thought they were the same, but I was wrong.
