  1. If you can find an AA TX200 for that money then snap it up, if not then a HW77...I had both and regret selling both of them!
  2. I read that kindle book...good for a freebie. There was also one called "into the darkest corner" which is one of the most gripping books I have ever read.
  3. Captain Corelli's mandolin is a fantastic book...the film is utter drivel but the book is well worth reading. The kite runner is a good book but not in the same league. I have to agree about catch 22 - jolly hard work to read and mostly boring and repetitive.
  4. I'm from Nottingham... So the obvious is that there are plenty of huge pike in the Trent, Clumber park lake has some lunkers as well and canals are always worth a try.
  5. Bargain! If I had the room I would have that and sell the Mrs' beetle!
  6. Ignore my saltwater bit then... Summer river pike can fight really hard - if you catch then try to hold the fish in the current when you release it so it has a good flow through its gills and can recover from its fight before you release it otherwise they may go belly up where you can't reach them. I am really looking forward to some river spinning come next month.
  7. Have you got a carp rod? If you spinning for pike / zander then that will be fine if a little cumbersome. If not then a 8-9ft spinning rof can be picked up for very little cash. 10-12lb line mono or braid and a wire trace before your chosen lure and you are sorted. Please remember a landing net that is big enough, pliers for unhooking and bear in mind pike are fragile and need to be handled carefully - if you know someone experienced at landing them then even better if they can show you the ropes, be careful of their gill rakers as they will cut you but more importantly be careful of your own hooks. Don't lift large fish too far off the ground bend down to them to avoid dropping them. Saltwater spinning - same gear and your can dispense with the wire trace. Find deep water close in and there are plenty of fish that will take lures. Please be aware of legal and recommended size limits, especially bass as they are very slow growing fish and if you are catching mackerel please only take what you need as returned mackerel once handled will almost certainly die as they are damaged very very easily. Where are you based can't see on my phone.
  8. My wife is a stewardess so I am sure she could ask the floral gentlemen she works with where the best shops are for that sort of thing
  9. Great value, as far as I can see, cheaper than sky movies etc - I have that plus freesat.
  10. Lol! I saw those...£30 profit...hopefully people realise they cost £15!
  11. Carefully tell them to do one...they cannot make up rules like that. West Mids tried to tell me in had to provide them written permission for their file which I knew to be untrue and spoke with BASC firearms team who confirmed that this is not a legal requirement.
  12. Dyson animal handheld. You may as well try and suck the dust up yourself if using the other brands.

    I was in one in California last week - worth a visit even if you don't buy anything. Great fun with the shooting range etc
  15. I have been on it for a few years, was on £12 a month goodybag for unlimited data (PW at work lol!) But have WiFi access on phone at work so £7.50 a month easily does me now. Even if you buy outright a top end handset gg still cheaper with no commitment
  16. I would have left it despite really loving eating hare...I like to watch them more than eat them.
  17. Wait and see how lucky you feel when Marko turns up in his realtree mankini...
  18. Even nearer to me! My terrier would kick his butt though lol!
  19. I kept wicket for the first cricket match I have played in 5 seasons on Saturday. Today I feel like a very old man, I'm 33 lol! I would have no qualms dating any woman between 21 and 30 though...my wife might though haha!
  20. Never mind pigeons...let's get on them sea trout lol!
