  1. I was that nightmare,I once dropped a water-filled condom from 25 storeys onto a crowd of chinese in Hong Kong,my mate who was waiting below to watch the effect said I caught a guy perfectly on the head,he was saturated Of course I was young and foolish then Sorry Mr Wong
  2. None whatsoever,cement was raining down onto passers-by in the streets below I even trowelled a bit down onto someones turban just to fit in
  3. That's a joke, have you seen most of the houses in India? I have I even helped build them,talk about role-reversal
  4. Pops,thats why your classed as a citizen,and we are still termed subjects,I think you have a little more latitude stateside,your liberties havent been eroded as much as ours,as Confucius said "An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger" The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry
  5. I have been out with guys using a net around 200 yards long,massive heavy thing dropped from a boat,bitch to haul in though
  6. Very simple seine,cheap-as-chips compared to a purpose-rigged net,necessity is the mother of invention
  7. We never fish with nets here,its illegal in freshwater UK,but it depends what your fishing for,what type of water?Cast & Gill are the commonest,so I have been told Edit......Dont get yourself a 16 foot cast,10 is perfect,wait till your comfortable with that then decide if you want to super-size,like I said,depends what your after and the water your fishing,ideal for collecting sprat,sandeels etc along the shore.
  8. I just read the exchange twixt Sarah&Mark(look how well the names mesh,like that missing jigsaw piece )and remembered a small boy and temporarily unrequited love :kiss:
  9. I certainly could source better stock,but I dont think theres such a market here for cast-nets of obscure fishing nets of that ilk,its a niche they have probably filled,albeit shoddily
  10. Whatever the situation dictates,type of water,quarry species etc,I am always splashing out on new rods
  11. Winds of change are upon us,tides turning,and there are a few fifth-columnists with accounts on this site,Seargant Esterhaus catchphrase on Hill Street Blues was always..................."Lets be careful out there"

    20,000 pound

    Bangkok for a month,its only money,live the life of riley,debauch and make merry,probably have twenty quid in your pocket when you land back at heathrow,might as well waste that
  13. And the Stag and Hen parties are nights lamping on seperate farms
  14. The strongest relationships are those truly tested,forged in fire and battle :kiss:
  15. Magic-dust for everyone Marks risen phoenix-like from the ashes,reborn,any slight character quirks are ironed out,one question however?Which side of Hadrians walls the wedding?
  16. I think cupid and the love fairy sprinkled an extra-spoonfull of magic-dust in your tea,the world a better place,enhanced colours,every days a summers day,and theres gold at the end of each rainbow
  17. I used to fancy a girl at school,she didnt even notice me,not once,in the end I resorted to pulling her hair,calling her names,but deep inside her rejection cut like a knife,till one day she smiled,she had noticed me,my spirits soared on wings,flew with the clouds,and so it begins............ :kiss: :kiss:
  18. They arent extortionately priced,but they dont carry a decent line in stock and their claims of searching and negotiating in PRC for the best stock was baloney IMHO,they should actually expand,crayfish-traps of several types,fyke-nets,different types and sizes of cast-nets and a decent instructional DVD showing catches as the movie clips on their site are cribbed from YOUTUBE http://www.castnets.co.uk/
  19. Please no debates on Benito Mussolini No debates on Il Duce from me,he was wearing a german uniform when he was captured,trying to blend in CCTV in Owl-nest boxes Leeview?How are they controlled for Pan,tilt,and zoom?What sort of distance do they relay signals from?Big brother is indeed watching
  20. I have had salmon and sea-trout on the bank within minutes,its not so difficult at times,never heard of boom lines,welsh thing perhaps?Most of those books are antiquated nowadays,different methods etc,theres a UK firm opened dedicated to selling cast-nets,wish I had thought of the concept first,could have added allsorts of fishing paraphinalia to the stock list
  21. I would have cracked-up and collapsed even if I was wearing a dog-collar

    Coins rather than ingots
  23. No ones bullying anyone benito,it just seems a little strange I was on that thread when you typed that,I think there were 5 other names reading,I just wondered how many of them had messaged you in that 3 minutes,elementary reasoning,nowt to do with CID Bobble-hats and dungarees Oots I forgot about the dress sense of those bunnies
