Something I put on FM yeasr back looks like my idea was pinched

Angling Times today announced that secret plans for AT "tasteful nude" calendar has been scraped after a unforeseen accident cased much mirth and distress.

The photo shoots had been going well all year with several month's photos ready fro print:

January was to be a nude Chris Yates standing with his back to the camera after sitting for 3 hours on an old wicker seat box. The winter sunlight dappling the red lines on his bum.

February was to have been Matt Hayes with a splendid shot of him trotting for roach in just waders. Matt insisted that he had the words "TFG" tattooed across his buttocks for advertising purposes.

March saw Bob Nudd's naked bum as he perched on a seat box - the buttock overhang was magnificent.

April was Des Taylor fly fishing for trout with his famous Angling hat hung on a rather unusual hat peg.

May was to be Alan Scotthorne with a carefully placed extra large ball of ground bait.

June was Keith Arthur riddling maggots - this was the only full frontal photo in the calendar but it was believed that no one would spot his small dibbler float amongst the maize.

July was Jan Porter barbeling on the Trent in just 3 realtree socks, one on the left foot one on his right foot and one on his middle foot.

August was John Wilson penning another article for AT as he stood in all his naked glory in a bivvy, the door flap covering his enormous talent.

September was due to be Martin Bowler with rod in hand and a packet of Drennan hooks size 6 placed to prevent any embarrassment.

October was a drawing by Bernard Venables of a nude Mr Crabtree stalking a carp in the margins.

November was to be Terry, Mr Drennan Cup himself, standing with his back to the camera, the weak winter sunlight casting a shadow that proved not everything about him is specimen size.

It was during the December soot that disaster struck, the idea was for Mick Brown to pose nude with a 20lb pike discreetly placed. Catching the pike proved no problem to Mick, but whilst posing for the photo the pike saw what it thought was a sprat and took a bite. Emergency services were called and stitches were administrated.

Mick is pulling through now - so that's a good sign, but the calendar has been abandoned has a mark of respect to Mick.
