  1. Sorry Love Island ends on the 31st of July.....Fishing season ends on the 17th of October on the Tywi.
  2. My wife likes watching love island me.....I can't stand it!! So recently, i've caught up on some good novels i've wanted to read, read Trout & Salmon and The Field magazines from cover to cover, tied a fair few sea trout fishing flies and will be by the river waiting for dark by 9pm tonight hoping for a few sea trout....... It ends on the 31st of July....
  3. Dido1, both by parents worked in the NHS for years (retired now), and they would both wholeheartedly agree with your comments. There is too much waste within the NHS.
  4. Sorry to hear that. Please take time to talk to family and friends.
  5. Two rows of my carrots have not pushed through at all, so hoed the ground and planted a new lot of seeds, lets see some plants arrive! Cheers. Aled
  6. I tie my own flies, and nowadays i have no confidence in using any fishing flies other than ones i tie myself, and believe me i am not a master craftsman! Now the chap who was best man at my wedding is a cabinet maker...you should see the flies he can tie!
  7. Nice reply toolebox, i enjoyed reading that. Shows that not all good working dogs need to be pure bred. Cheers. Aled
  8. Thanks for that post toolebox that's really interesting. My dog was a unplanned cross, a true mongrel. However he has a cracking temperament, he loves people, and has a fan club in the village who are very fond of him! On top of that i have been really surprised as to how he has taken to gun dog work, he loves it, he sees the gun and cannot wait to get out to the field. His bark however....yes it is pretty impressive! Basically he's a pet dog, who does enough gun dog work to allow his master to go rough shooting and wildfowling! As an aside a good friend of mine sadly no longer with us, was a
  9. No gnipper, perhaps if i'd trained him he may of...his Dad does though!
  10. Thought i'd mention this, my mongrel is a New Zealand Huntaway x Labrador, he wont win a field trial but he's a perfectly acceptable rough shooting and wildfowling companion.
  11. That's fine, however in my opinion if you feel like that you withdraw from Tory/Labour/Lib Dem etc as soon as you feel that way and join reform with immediate affect. That is the honourable thing to do. Anyway its 4.43pm unless any of you know any different there have been no changes, which (and this has nothing to do with reform as a party) i am pleased to hear.
  12. Greyman if that happens it will prove what many people all over the UK have said for many years, that many (not all) Tory politicians are totally unethical and self servicing people... we'll know in 1hour and 41 minutes. Is Boris standing for Reform?? PS: I would say the same about any politician from any party who chose to do this in this way.
  13. Bakerboy you need a nice cup of tea with them. Look nearly as good as my Mamgu's.
  14. Yep my Grancha was a serving soldier as well, so yes we should never forget their sacrifice and bravery.
  15. Sorry to hear of your recent troubles, hope you get well soon.
  16. Condolences to family and friends, modern day hero Rob.
  17. Big bunch of worms being run through a well known salmon pool....earlier in the day i saw a local angler catch 3 salmon from the same pool watched what he did....dug a load of worms from the garden and bought good hooks and weights from the local sports shop, a very nice memory.
  18. Enjoyed your post pesky1972, and as a 1971 baby i get it. Used to see people walking through my home town with guns (to be fair usually in gun slips or black bin bags) and dogs, off for a rough shoot somewhere, ferrets, and long dogs, and loads of fishermen. In September 1984 i caught my 1st salmon....yep i walked through town with it, and numerous people congratulated me on my salmon but the best bit was a total stranger who said to her male companion, blimey look at the size of that fish it was 12lb 3ozs. Anyway what was also of note was the local knowledge about country ways, growing good v

    Smoking.

    Gave up a few years ago, and i used to love a smoke whilst waiting for dark to go sea trout fishing, or with a pint in a beer garden. Rather glad i gave up, £16 for a pack of Marlboro Gold now, not to mention the positive health benefits. Cheers. Aled
  20. Many thanks for this Eddie B much appreciated.
  21. Wow that looks brilliant, can i ask what type of vinegar you used and what's the mix of vinegar and water please? Got a few rusty pieces that need the same treatment. Many thanks. Aled
