So Exactly Who and When....

[cg74]

.... was the hair-rig invented?

Who actually first thought up the concept of boiling a soft paste to make hard(ish) skinned bait - we now know as a boilie?





Oh and seeing as I'm in a question asking mode; which is the UK's finest coarse fishing river?

And whilst in such an asking way; which is best (and why) - north or south of central Birmingham (England only)?

[S-Kippy]

I did in 1873. I thought everybody knew that...where have you been ? I invented it in order to accomodate my other ground breaking invention...the boilie.

The finest coarse river in the world is the one I fish but you can't. I cannot name it because the US Military has banned me from doing so.

The last question is so ridiculous I will not grace it with an answer. Everybody knows that Birmingham is the most Northerly inhabited place on Earth.

Now please excuse me...I have some Higgs Bosons in the oven that need turning.

1873 you say, hmmm, the plot thickens, you certainly predate the Germanic Jew Haffke, Affke, Faffke or whatever his name is now.......!

Damned yanks get their fingers in every bleedin pie; guess that's why they're the most obese nation in the world.

I don't accept this; the world ends north of Brum - end of the civilised world, yes! But there are plenty of heathen types sandwiched between Brum and Jockland.

Higgs Bosons in the oven - are you drying them to make them critically balanced in water, it's all about mass over volume..... that's mass not bass and volume (measurement of space) not volume (noise)....
It's all in the science (physics) eh?

Oh, you fibber, you told me it was that yiddish chap from before the war . . .

I thought it was the oil companies that were keeping that a secret . . . . you can't trust 'em you know!

Everyone knows that north of Brum' there be Dragons!!
Ye have been warned . . . . .

As a humble scientist I would protest the abuse of the God Particle if I weren't an Athiest also

I think it by was that grand old Yorkshireman....


....The Grand Old Duke of York - to foul hook those dirty, murdering, thieving Lanky's

He devised it after he'd marched them (the 10,000 men he had) up to the top of the hill, and then marched them down again.(Sandal Castle Hill) 30 December 1460
Sounds a bit of a fool to me. But as the saying goes, your not fighting whilst your marching.

The original plans/drawings are kept (securely locked and guarded) in the depths of Charty Chapel, sitting over the Calder in Wakefield

That's Latin right, for:








Fish of the day?

It's strange that "Higgs Boson" has been mentioned because that's what I call my new bait - it's a newly discovered particle .....

You are confusing Faffke with his mate Fekkoff.

"Heathen types" [ ie Jocks] do not count. They are a sort of human brown goldfish but so long as they remain in the frozen North I do not care.Jockland [as I'm sure you know] was originally part of Natal.

I'm taking waters apart on a critically balanced Scopex Squid Higgs Bosun over a bed of chilli neutrinos & 4mm quarks.

And if you'd been paying full attention you'd have noticed my deliberate error. It was actually 1875 that I invented the hair-rig as my latest book

"Fantastic Things I Did That You Dont Know About " makes clear. Its a follow up to my earlier books

"Advanced Name Dropping "
"How to Never be Wrong"

[beerweasel]

Wasn't it the Romans ?
I'm sure they hair-rigged some poor chap to a cross once.
