gowesk man 1 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 pretty accurate post auld salmon ,except for the part where you said you looked like a cheetah when you went for the rabbits.Ha :no:From my side of the fence you looked like a drunken bullock and when you had a gallop for the second one that was pursed on your side i thought there was a steam train in the field Never mind when the fishing starts you might be able to catch something this year,dont want another year of your mood swings When the salmon arrive i,ll show you what one looks like ,just like last year.See you on the GOWESK :friends: Quote Link to post
