  1. Sorry to hear of your recent troubles, hope you get well soon.
  2. Condolences to family and friends, modern day hero Rob.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  6. Many thanks for this Eddie B much appreciated.
  7. 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
  8. Yep me too! Use it or lose it!!! .edited post as found out initial comment was exaggerated!
  9. Nice thread all, no surprises i speak Welsh and English fluently, and i've enjoyed the comments about accents, and other languages spoken.
  10. Planted the veg patch over the weekend, potatoes, carrots, beetroot, French Beans, onions, and radishes planted. Cheers. Aled
  11. Well behind this year due to the wet weather, really hoping for the dry weekend promised this weekend so that i can get stuck in and turn the patch over and get ready for planting. Tomato, Cucumber and French Bean seeds are growing under cover indoors for now. One lot of container potatoes planted, the other container has potatoes from last year growing very well! How about the rest of you? Cheers. Aled
  12. Have you had your cholesterol checked recently? (I think you'll get the joke)
  13. Some lovely looking sea trout there.
  14. Dad's 80th & Brothers 50th so a family week in Ibiza this summer.
  15. My mates Father used to drink Whisky with water.
  16. Yep know that part of the Gower quite well, cracking location. Cheers. Aled
  17. Well guys hearing your responses I've learnt something new which is always a good thing. Shows that looks can be deceiving! So presume that beagles are no good for beating and useless at retrieving? Too headstrong, too hard mouthed? Cheers. Aled
  18. tatsblister: That dog looks a cracker, could probably join the beating line or down on the marsh wildfowling.
  19. Enjoyed reading those, nice one guys.
  20. Nice reply Yokel i agree.
  21. Cheers for the replies guys, just wondering I'm sure we've all come across dogs who were answerable to one person and if that person wasn't around there could be trouble! (Well i have anyway!)
  22. Question; Do these XL Bully breeds ever attack their owners or are they very faithful to them? Cheers. Aled
  23. Loved that song, funnily enough it was on a Netflix programme I watched last night, i was surprised by how much of the songs lyrics i can remember! RIP and condolences to family and friends.
  24. The woman was not well liked, she was known locally as "Y Hooch" which is Welsh for Sow. She should never have been allowed to be a playground assistant even in those days! I was not the only person who had an irrational run in with her.
  25. Found that comment quite interesting, got a few clips/smacks during my childhood years, now the only 2 that bug me were 2 i didn't deserve,...and one of them was given to me by a playground assistant when i was about 7, now had she left it there (as my teachers and parents did) it would of probably disappeared into my memory, however she kept reminding me of it which really got on my nerves...until one day in my early 20's .... i was working behind a desk at an establishment...she came in saw me behind the desk came up and said in Welsh "your Mam has said i can clip you" (she hadn't) and swun
