[Neil Maidment]

No, it will never take off. Surely there's never going to be enough of this particular single species angler with big enough egos?

:whmg:

 

[Judas Priest]

Prepare yourself Neil to be surprised, very (or not) surprised !!!

 

[Titus]

Frankly I would rather shove wasps up my bum.

 

[Simon K]

Frankly I would rather shove wasps up my bum.

I trust they won't be crammed into collecting jars beforehand?

 

[Lee Swords]

My ego knows no bounds.

I'm in.

 

[Graham Elliott 1]

Agree with Titus. I'd rather shove wasps up his bum as well.

 

[Neil Maidment]

My ego knows no bounds.

I'm in.

Tell you what Lee, I think I'd quite happily travel to sit behind you and barrack from the sidelines, should be very entertaining!

Would this be the perfect time for me to start Barbel fishing, learn off the experts etc etc, or is it a better spectator sport?

What are the PPE requirements?

Hang on, I've found a tackle dealer:

Police Equipment - Police Equipment Supply - Tactical Police Equipment

 

[Graham Elliott 1]

Having yesterday completed my PA1 Exam and C and G Pestercide practical spraying course I can confirm the following requirements for PPE.

Wellington Boots. (easlily washable)
Coverall with hood to EA standards
Nitrile gloves with no linings and at least 300mm length
Protective face mask with sliding plastic full face cover.

This will allow one to spray BS (no Fred - not Society) in complete safety.

Didn't get the spelling test right though, Graham!:wh

Well Done Fred.

I would like to say it was a deliberate mistake as I had imagined you sitting there 24 hours a day waiting to ponce. However it was not.

waiting to ponce

Interesting play on words

 

[Fred Bonney]

Hardly likely Graham,as you know, poncing has never been a habit that needs 24 hour coverage!

 

[Graham Elliott 1]

Hopefully this Fred will get back on track, off to play some cricket. Melbourne Aussies at 20/20.

 

[Fred Bonney]

It should do, going well elsewhere.

I too would like to shove a wasp nest up Titus's bum!
There you go back on track

As long as fish care has priority over the prize, then who am I to say anything against it?


Before I'm asked, I mean all fish,even those not of the target species.

 

[Judas Priest]

Graham you leave Titus's bum alone. He's got enough problems in that department without you adding to it.

Can't see how fish welfare can be top of the agenda in a match fishing scenario when the object is to catch as many fish as possible in a given time.

.

It might be going well elsewhere Fred but this forum is not populated by sycophants.

As for sticking things up bums at least you are safe on that score......There's no room up yours because your head is up it most of the time.

 

[FishingMagic]

Gentlemen, may we suggest you post on topic or not at all; far too many threads are being ruined by a small number of individuals and the time has now come to take action, in the form of banning members, if it continues.

 

[Judas Priest]

Well said Mods
