A quick bump. Can the last people please append their menu choices so I can finalise with the restaurant. Many thanks. Terry.

Who says I haven't? Terry.

Dehumidifier? Terry.

A very Happy Birthday, Jim. Hope someone buys you cakes and beer. Terry.

Fear not, the seas are always calm when we're in Alderney (can't find a smiley with tongue in cheek). Terry.

K.I.S.S. You will mostly be encountering turbot (hopefully) and possibly tope and or sporting pollack and bass. Also, of course, feathering gear for mackerel and launce which will mean shrimp lures. You will further require a selection of pirks/shads for wrecking on the way home with flying collar set up or your usual choice.. For the turbot you will just need a supply of 5/0 - 6/0 hooks and Amnesia or preferably flourocarbon trace material and sandeel/jellyworm type lures on light spinning gear for the pollack and bass. A selection of weights including watch leads of 4, 6 & 8oz. Depending on tides, possibly heavier weights for wrecking Just about does it apart from your usual supplies. Others will probably add or detract from this list but that just about does it for me. Oh! And money for beer and food. Terry.

One slight negative for us, I have picked up from another popular social interaction site that Tom B. will no longer be coming with us due to a work conflict. Oh well! No shortage of space. All we will need is an able bodied crew to handle any tope we don't fish for. I'm disappointed, Tom. Terry.

Terry many thanks for sorting this for the members. 1. Tony D 1,4,9 2. Martin B 1,4,9 3.

Many Happy Returns, Mr. Chairman. Watch the alchohol intake, the new knee may not be ready for it! Terry.

This was sent to me by one of our Italian friends with a good sense of humour. Winston Churchill was famous for his sense of humour and there are many amusing stories about him. One of them is particularly relevant today: When Churchill retired from politics he took a cruise on an Italian ship. A journalist from a New York newspaper asked him why he had chosen an Italian ship. Churchill gave the question his consideration and then replied: "There are three things I like about italian ships. First, their cuisine, which is unsurpassed. Second, their service, which is quite superb. And then - in time of emergency - there is none of this nonsense about women and children first !" Terry.

A young ventriloquist is touring Sweden and, one night, he's doing a show in a small fishing town. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes. Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting, "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype Swedish blond women that way? What does the colour of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. Its people like you that make others think that all Blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general... pathetically all in the name of humour!" The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blonde yells: "You stay out of this! I'm talking to that little shit on your lap."

Just a little bump to see if there are any takers. Terry.

If there are any more for accommodation, I have one 3 bedded room which can be let as a twin, remaining. I believe there is also one berth left on one of the boats going if anyone wants to join. Terry.

Don't know where you get that idea, Nigel, the current system works well, he buys us all a drink. Looking forward to it! Terry.

Very many Happy Returns, you old git! Nearly old enought to join the big boys club. Terry.
