could have sworn the apology from Paul was copy and pasted onto this thread, many pages ago.

This is becoming like reality TV (perhaps "reality internet"?) No one claims to like it but everyone watches, reads and/or posts nonetheless.

Hi All
I have found the post, it is under big Riks name on page 9. I wrote it in the early hours, just for clarity here is the post in full:
Ok I have this evening spoken with Steve Stones from A.T and he informs me that he cannot recall wether Bob did indeed mislead him, it is not in his notes. All that can be said is he got the information from Bob and it was mixed up somehow, somehow he was misinformed??
However he is willing to hold his hands up and take the rap for the mistake and an apology from him will appear it A.T next week.
Now then Bob,
You and I have been at logger heads since you wrote the derogatory article back in summer (Mr Angry) in which you personally abused me. I still stand by the statement: "We are barbel anglers not carp anglers". That means we are fishing for barbel and not carp, there is no more to read into it than that so before you start to twist the words round then don't bother.
Now it is the start of a new year and I feel time to forget the past. What has gone has gone. Would you like to wipe the slate clean and have a fresh start? I know I would. So I would like to say, " if you have been offended by some of my comments in the past then I would like to apologise here and now".
You have personally abused me in the past. You started it so let's finish it here.
Now are you man enough to apologise too?
End of post.
Now I see Bob has been on since and posted private e-mails too. His response is there for all to see.

Steve,
Thank you for making that statement and let me apologise to you for getting you embroiled into something that you really didn't deserve.
You strike me as an honest guy trying to do a difficult job against pressing deadlines but at least you are learning about the people you will have to deal with in the future.
We all make mistakes, and I mean ALL. When a surgeon does it someone dies. If a dentist does it the patient yelps a bit but for you to mix up details on what is and what is not a day ticket venue is hardly a treasonable offense.
But at least you now understand why I had to make a point of telling you that the upstream 27 pegs are not available to day ticket anglers!
True anglers would have shrugged their shoulders and maybe tipped you off on the quiet and left it at that.
Like I said when you rang, I don't want or need a retraction in the paper. I haven't seen this weeks paper as yet and probably won't see next weeks either as it's all pretty embarassing.
Don't let 'em grind you down kid.
And that, I hope, is an end to proceedings. Let's all ride off into the sunset...
In any case, don't you lot realise Big Brother is on TV? Did you see last night's twist with the nominations? Wicked or what!

Hey come off it Blam, let them stick to commercial carping, leave the handbags at dawn stuff to FM!

Not upset at all Graham, great fun, in some respects.
It illustrates that when someone has a bee in their pants about an issue, no matter what the truth is and how it is expressed by the opposition, they will never accept it is being the whole truth. They always want to keep their options open so they can have another pop on another day. It really is childish.
But such fun!

Funnily enough, some of the most entertaining TV is when they show a full blown debate in parliament. I love to see Blair humming and arreing like he did the other day.
We don't get enough of this great comedy in my opinion. Some of it even beats Dad's Army.

"Guys
In a bid to draw a line under this unsightly episode, I would like to add that the mistake I made in the article was just that, a mistake. I hold my hands up and apologise to all for
I know nothing of the 'previous' between Bob and the Barbel Society (of which I am also a member).
Bob was both very helpful and polite when I asked him for information about some decent day ticket stretches.
We are printing a correction in next week's paper, and I am just sorry it has caused such controversy.
I'd also like to congratulate the angler on what is clearly a belting fish. This seems to have been overlooked.
Now, let's all go out and catch some fish before the cold weather arrives next week.
all the best
Steve"
What a fantastic post from Steve, especially the bit about the actual fish being overlooked.
I hate to tell you all this but you are getting all heated up about pieces of wet cold flesh....
Yes, barbel are definitely the new carp ;o)

Even got a more rat-like nose than a ratfish, eh Gaz?
Sorry guys, I too forgot to congratulate the guy who caught the fish but this was never about fishing, was it?
Anyway, I'm shortly going to jump in the car and drive down to the Trent to introduce a few chevins to my new wonder paste.
Now where shall I go...?
