    Back in the early 60's my mother used to give me 1/- (that's a shilling for you youngen's) or 1/6d depending if she was flush or not, for me and my younger brother to go to a little old chap who used to cut lads hair in his Anderson shelter in his back yard. 6d for a crop 9d for a short back and sides 1/- for a college boy We never got the college boy, too dear. Recall he had a table lamp in the shelter which was a painted nude woman holding aloft a light bulb, we were always fascinated by the 'black triangle'

    I had the Mr Crabtree book shown in the John Baily clip, gave it to my younger brother years ago and no doubt it got slung out soon after. Don't know if I posted this before, but me and my old fishing partner were gurning about one of the club lakes and how the committee had 'improved' it, it was a cracking tench and crucian lake, and they took the better fish out and restocked with fingerlings. Anyway, I emailed this Crabtree inspired sketch to him and he printed it and got it framed and put on the wall. :laugh:

    Anyone remember The Fishing Race from the 70's, starring Jim Gibbinson and Ian Gillespie? Had to catch as many different species as they could in 72 hours, in teams of 2 anglers, to win the Golden Maggot. They were even fishing a garden pond at one time. Recall them going down on the Kentish Rother to catch silver bream. Also, the old 'black and white' Out Of Town' with Jack Hargreaves. The intro song was 'Out of Town' sung by Max Bygraves? Recall one episode where he fished the Dorset Stour (I think) for pike, using groundbait to draw in the dace and roach fry to further bring in the pike.

    Just confirms how corrupt the system can be. IPCC appear to be a waste of space.

    20 odd years ago myself and 2 mates visited the Royalty fishery on the Hampshire Avon for a recce prior to a 3 day fishing trip. Chris Yates was there doing a bit of fishing with one of his mates and we spent about an hour chatting with him, a very easy bloke to get along with, he is exactly how he comes across in PfA. Obviously I gave him a few pointers. :laugh:

    Some of those owners want putting down, not the dogs.

    That's exactly how I read it BGD, thing is there is a lot of dog walkers etc who don't even pick their dogshit up so I doubt they would be bothered to tag them, another one of those things that doesn't get policed so they know they can get away with it I suppose.

    I recall reading bits of the Control of Dogs Act about a year ago and to me it seems that it is a requirement for almost all dogs to be collared and tagged in a public place (with a couple of exeptions). By the words 'any dog while being used...' would this mean wearing them whilst going to and from the location where the dog is to actually 'work'? Mine is a pet and has a tag on both collar and harness, but I see lots of pet dogs out and about who don't appear to be wearing a tag, and in a few cases not even a collar. What are your thoughts on this? The Control of Dogs Order 1992

    Wouldn't releasing wolves to roam freely make a bit of a mockery of the legislation that is the Dangerous Dogs Act, unless of course they are neutered and muzzled LOL.

    Home made faggots, roast red onion gravy, peas pudding, canned flourescent mushy peas (didn't have any dried ones).

    Now that's a proper plate of grub, but I would have to discard the lemon wedges to make room for some whelks.

    Don't know what it is now but yes, it was originally made from the stock of stewed eels. Back in the 60's, if my mother or nan dragged us shopping at Woolwich or Deptford, we always had to have pie and mash with liquor, and they would also have some stewed eels. Actually, the liquor IMO was the best part of it, couldn't stand the pies with the hard tasteless pastry crust and the rubbery mince filling complimented by lumpy mash containing so many 'eyes' it used to stare at you. Don't get me wrong, I love pies and I love mash, but homemade only, won't eat commercially produced pies, nor sausage

    Last time I saw a phantom was at RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base, Victoria, Australia. It was static at the time but I was assured it was still flying, but that was back in August 2010.

    Wasn't particularly impressed with it to be honest, but to be fair I took it from a small stillwater which was an old clay pit and it was never a clear water. As has already been said, be aware of the row of very sharp bones along the lateral line, they are shaped like a pitch fork, as well as the usual normal bones. I seasoned mine with salt and pepper and baked it in foil in the oven. I tasted a bit and it tasted 'pondy' so I knocked up a cheese sauce, which made it slightly better. Should imagine one from a clean, clear gravel pit or clear river would be a bit better. It's probably got som

    looks like a willy. My daughter-in-law in Aussie drew a similar conclusion yesterday. If my willy looked like that I'd get straight down the pox doctors clinic.

    I managed to watch quite a lot of the progress of the eclipse as I don't sleep too well. Thought I would try to get a shot of the 'blood moon' with my undergunned lens. Turned all the lights off and waited for what I thought would be a decent(ish) photo. 7.1 second exposure. As I went back to the camera I saw the dog was sniffing the tripod, the b*stard, and had been all the way through the shot. Result = Failure of epic proportions. :laugh:

    My neighbour has a nice long scar up his shin, from a 9" angle grinder. He said he was using it to cut a slab 'one handed' and it dug in and flipped back. This was not a surprise because just prior to him telling me and showing me the scar, he was cutting another slab as part of a semi-circular front door step, and he started cutting into his trainer. I shouted at him as to what he was doing and he just said "it's OK, they are old ones". I reminded him he still had his foot inside it. You couldn't make it up.
