[Lord Paul of Sheffield]

Great write

good time had by all

 

[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

Far too much frivolities if you ask me. There's no wonder they caught nowt. I suspect the stiff breeze brought on Spider's salty nose drip, which turned the lake brackish and the fish just went off...

 

[Lord Paul of Sheffield]

Did Poshers not bring the port and stilton - he's submitted a claim for £50 to Spiders for it

Having not met Skippy before , I wasn`t sure who I would find , but didn`t expect a big geezer , dressed as a pirate , waving a pistol about , with a parrot on his shoulder.
There`s too much to mention in one post , so I will just do the highlights as I see them .
Slime in his pirate gear, with a ferret on his shoulder , I must say that he had got the walk right , he was rolling from side to side:w .
He did moan that he was robbed by the guy who sold him the eye patch ,
he had told Slime that it was polarised .
I met Moneyspiders ( Derek ) and had a little chat , a bit later as I was unloading the van and he came back with a wad of handmade floats and said , " here take one of these " , I`m not sure if I had my mind on other things or I was just being a bit thick , but I had it in my mind that it was a case of " drawing the shortest straw " for some reason .
I was to partner Uncle Dave , but yet again I had never met him before , so I was going around asking , " anybody seen Uncle Dave?" , Dave was the last to turn up , a big guy ( well anybody is big compared to me ) , a jolly looking bloke who turned out to be a great laugh , and a very nice man who rowed both out and back
I think I will leave it there at the moment and post more later .

Quite an accurate write up Mr Skipworth, in fact very good, no mention of socks this year which was a relief, Uncle kept them on.

Mr Smith didnt go M/lud, so i kept the £50, and used it sparingly over the weekend

You did get the short straw Les, the one you picked was the only one that sinks.

What do you mean ? You were a physical wreck before the fish in.

How's the rat ?

Sounds a brilliant weekend. Nice write up Skippy.

I'll have to try and make this one next year, the venue sounds stunning and tench and perch are two of my favourite species.

Really glad there's no pics of Derek in (or indeed out of) his pants!

That can be arranged...at a price. We'll send you two invoices one for not releasing the photos and one to release the photos...just decide which one you can afford to pay!!!

I could probably rustle up a vat of Malmsey wine and a surfeit of lampreys? :j

If anybody is interested there is a local website for Blenheim/Woodstock:
Woodstock Oxfordshire , well worth a look .

 

[Merv Harrison]

S-Kippy, excellent write up, always enjoyable when you read something and can visualise the scene and occurences.

 

[Poshpaul (Angling Trust and PaSC)]

Spiders in his grundies and little else "always enjoyable when you can visualise the scene".

I've got to hand it to you folk. 5 years as a member and I hadn't got an inkling just what sort of forum this really was..you lot are very good!! And I thought when you were talking about swingers it was an in-depth discussion on bite indication.

What was I thinking about..........

PS. I've just had my breakfast thank you very much.

 

[J K]

What a good write up Skippy and certain parts very diplomatically described. A thoroughly enjoyable weekend in excellent company. :w

A pleasure to meet up with some old faces again and to meet some more new ones.

A few more fish and less wind would have been nice.

 

[S-Kippy]

Dont miss the new "improved" article complete with additional pics [courtesy of Slime] featuring Uncle Dave in all his multi coloured glory and the Golden Temple of the Dalai Spiders.

I cannot believe that after all the trouble I went to nobody took a picture of yours truly in full pirate regalia.

I'm glad the weather at Dam Flask is alway cold when we fish it - the sight described above would turn the port sour

We must never arrange a PaSC fish in in the Summer

 

[Cliff Hatton]

I loved that so much I'm gonna read it again!

 

[Neil Maidment]

I have to say the pirate has a way with words! All done in short order as well.

The wizzened old fool must have loads of stories tucked away in his treasure chest of past and present forays. Surely he can find some of them that are suitable for publication on here?

Please.......
