  9. Verdigris pennies,I enjoyed reading that
  10. I just need to finish working on a bit of equipment,I am sure you'll enjoy it
  11. There was an option of not allowing EU citizens to work for a few years before it became open-house,Blair declined,he is long going to be remembered as the hand that opened the tool box,that held the hammer,that drove the nails into into the coffin of what was once known as Great Britain R.I.P
  12. When are you back in 'ampshire Mark?Next week?
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. That's a joke, have you seen most of the houses in India? I have I even helped build them,talk about role-reversal
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. Very simple seine,cheap-as-chips compared to a purpose-rigged net,necessity is the mother of invention
  19. 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.
  20. 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:
  21. 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
  22. Whatever the situation dictates,type of water,quarry species etc,I am always splashing out on new rods
  23. 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"
