  1. I had a rescue greyhound for three months,her most memorable catches included my polecat hob next doors cat and a sheep very fast,caught rabbits with ease
  2. Its a once in a lifetime,I would have kept it,imagine finding a hoxne How did old Eric Lawes feel as he took that first spadefull of soil out
  3. Yup,but it was a long time ago,and you probably wouldnt believe it
  4. I recognise that lake JOE,didnt realise they allowed daytime fishing
  5. Machines depreciate rapidly,my local detecting shop is only a mile away,he has a decent array of used machines at affordable prices because detectorists are like fishermen,always wanting the next models,you can get a sovereign used with 8 inch coil for a couple of hundred quid
  6. Get it priced by Chirs Rudd groat,I remember an incredible byzantine coin he was auctioning once
  7. Groat,as soon as I saw your name I knew you were a numismatist,excellent stater
  8. Maybe you could give Ferreter_joe some tuition grandad I am sure he would appreciate it
  9. I remember the powermax,whats that shop in London did all the laser and tesoro products?Loads of finds in cases,was like a regular treasure trove inside.
  10. Who is that masked man Could be anyone mate,pretty unfashionable de-rigueur for trout fishing though
  11. Your coming from sheffield?I dont poach either But we all have our personal interpretations and sets of ethics,hence your speeding conviction
  12. Minelab Found 24k gold,rings,necklaces etc on foreign beaches,plenty of roman local though mainly grots,nowt exciting
  13. Remember one thing next time you feel your foot ease down grandad,all the fish ever bred dont make up for one man dead
  14. Hi Makem, Like I said I acknowledge that speeding is wrong t's dangerous. I did it because my car was doing 35 in a 30, momentary lapse of concentration - I deserved the point and the fines. No arguments You are passionate in you belief that speeding is wrong because of your personal (and horrible ) experience with your friend. Yet you seem to believe that stealing is perfectly acceptable??? Why do you think speeding is bad yet stealing is ok? That's what I can't get my head round. Best Regards I never said stealing was acceptable,your the one who was convicted of somet
  15. Everything has a consequence,you believe speeding is wrong and dangerous yet still you did it.................Why?
  16. Hello, No, I am as careful as I possibly can be when I drive because I understand that speeding is dangerous and wrong. Yep I got done for doing thirty five in a thirty and it's a fair cop. I deserved the points and the fine. Like I said, I recognise that speeding is dangerous and that it has consequences. Will you recognise that stealing is wrong and has consequences? Best Regards, I would if I ever stole bob
  17. FIFTEEN POUND Genetically modified?They seem to be growing expotentially day-in day-out,this time next year I forsee massive flooding in certain areas of cheshire due to water displacement surges
  18. Do you still speed bob?2am,no one around,why not put your foot down,get home a little earlier on the empty roads,have you learn your lesson bob?
  19. Its always a pound £ Styx,tweed,test,whatever river,it still only amounts to a quid
  20. Blue trout valley are actually pink-trout in drag mate,very feminine,dont listen to those sweet syrupy murmerings,methinks chess has designs upon OUR stream valley,give him the GPS settings for the north pole or kabul or somewhere equally as interesting to a man of his fly-fishing expertise Scent,no hard feelings but stealing a water-pistol at the tender age of ten earns you an eternity stoking the fires of hades without remission
  21. I am not trying to be saint like at all, like every other normal human I get done by speed cameras etc. I just want to try and make people understand that poaching harms peoples livleyhoods. Many fisheries employ young people in rural areas, often on minimum wage to help feed the fish and get the boats ready in the morning etc. These are not rich toffs, these are people who are trying to make a living doing hard graft. Poaching makes these jobs less sustainable. . I am not preaching, I am challenging an attitude that you think it is ok to steal peoples fish and trying to make you underst
  22. I have just been trying to find a correlation between your analogy bob,taking a fish or breaking and entering to steal a firearm,its a very tenuous link indeed,so Bob,every broken any laws whatsoever?Dropped litter?Put your foot down on the motorway?I wish I was so pious Not that I poach or anything,but neither do I preach
  23. Bob,can you say hand-on-heart you have never once broken any form of law whatsoever if so you should be re-named saint-bob,I like to fish a £500 a day river,extortionate right?But thats what the riparian owners charge,how do they justify that price for a small beat?I see your a fly-fishing coach,maybe that prejudices and hardens your views slightly
  24. Dog-kills.Check the size of the sheep the guys carrying,a panther could jump a 6 foot fence carrying one of those without breaking stride
  25. Simple innit?Spelunkers are being munched by the big-cat
