  2. Ok folks seeings as though the Northern chaps had such a great time rec climbing, I thought why don't we have a rec session down here. Anyone interested? would be good to have before the APF show, I along with Steve Bullman will organise a suitable site, the more the merrier.. It would be good to put a few names to faces, maybe Mr Jones could bring his van, all laden with goodies [depending on numbers of course] I'll post a date, time, and venue next week, novices, groundies, experienced salty seadogs all welcome I'll provide the food, bbq burgers, sausages etc etc

  8. Best to always have an engineer [prefferably one on the fiddle] in your phone.. I have one...
  9. The trouble is amigo , there isn't much work about , 3 years ago you'd have got a job in no time. I suggest if you want to keep your hand in the job, join a ''conservation volunteer group'' the sort that clear old woods, coppice, etc, looks good on a cv too
  10. Your a top man Mr Jones!
  11. so why are they picking on you Huck, you been a naughty boy? or could sany of us get an ''invitation''?
  12. Ditch the suit , be yourself, expect cr@p wages!
  13. Don't like the sound of that mate....
  14. Eactly what the old Aussie fisherman told me, and they didn't bite that night either
  15. I'm a little confused as to why use a MEWP my chap would love to climb about ion that tree for a day or so , I bet not much more than a transit load came off it.
  16. Same thing isn't it, I agree with Steve, stick to your rates or stick at home, no way am I working on the cheap..
  17. Well if I couldn't get the £1200+vat I wanted for the tree i'd leave it, because that tree is £1200 all day long! Anyone charging less than a 1k shouldn't be in the tree game , as you must only being doing it for kicks or a hobby.. Priced up a load of work a few weeks ago big trees decent work didn't get it oh well , who cares i'm out on the boat, and my kits sitting at home, not busting its arse for nothing!! any fool can work for nothing!
  18. Wise words..
  19. you only saw it if you disturbed the water
  20. Dunno what it was mate , but i've never seen it before, and i've been fishing for years, the light came right at the top of the tide and decreased as the tide went out , watching the fish jump was amazing. I almost started to quesion my sanity for a minute, no beer drunk or other drugs taken I might add.. In my youth I enjoyed a lot of shrooms , but they never brought on sights like last night..
  21. Last night I went fishing down the river Deben the saltwater stretch. Well never seen this before, it was dark and the stars were out, well when I pulled in my line I couldn't believe it, it was as though I was reeling in a long line of white phosphorus , with showers of white light hitting the water, these were drips.. I paddled in the water, with every splash/ripple showers of phosphorus like rays of light moved through the water. Can you imagine the display a shoal of jumping small mullet [could be bass fry] made along with a shoal of big garfish made.. When in Oz I remember an old fisherman talking about phosphorus in the water making your line ,bait and hook show up.. Have any of you guys seen this before? the light was bright but not quite as bright as an opened up glow stick P.S caught not fish, had a nice bass the night before though on a very weird bait
  22. If my dinner doesn't hurry up , you might be reading about a copy cat killing tomorrow
  23. I beg to disagree!
  24. disgusting imo
  25. Jeez just gonna say old news ain't it
