There was a cruise ship that ended up sinking just off the coast of a small deserted island. There were only 3 survivors: 2 guys and a girl. They lived there for a couple of years doing what was natural for men and women. After several years of casual sex all the time, the girl felt really bad about what she had been doing. The guilt of having sex with both guys all the time was so bad that she killed herself. It was very tragic, but the two guys managed to get through it and after a while nature once more took its inevitable course. Well, a couple more years went by and the guys began to feel absolutely horrible about what they were doing. So... They buried her.

Nice boat ............. I guess you must know Tommo (Cfish) ?

Superman is out flying and sees wonder woman naked on a rooftop with her legs wide open and moaning in delight He thinks to himself that as he is faster than a speeding bullet he can do his business with her and fly off before she knows it. He toys with the idea and decides to go for it. He swoops down fucks her with lightning thrusts and zooms off in a flash. The whole event lasts less than a second. As soon as he's gone wonder woman gasps, sits up and yells "what the hell was that?!" "I don't know but my ass hurts like hell" replies the invisible Man

If you want a smaller stronger knot Neil, then do it the other way round. Put a loop in the braid, wrap it 12 times around the leader and then pass the leader tag end through the braid loop ... and you will have tied a yucatan knot, which will pull up really small. When pulling up, once the knot has begun to loosely form, let the tag end of the leader fall free an just pull on the leader. For most of our fishing, simple knots are quite sufficient, but sharks and tuna require strong knots, especially when using a top shot of mono.

Nah, I am not a footballer ....

You need one for zippy as well, with his (yawn) football ..........🤣

I generally only use the FG / PR for Shark fishing. A bimini is almost impossible to tie nicely on the boat ! When wreck fishing I like to build in a weak point that I know will give first, fore me that is the Yucatan which is still a good knot but tops out at 80 - 90% of the line BS. So, it will never break on a fish, but on a solid pull when snagged it will break at the knot, more often than not ............. The problem with the FG/PR, is when snagged the knot is so reliable that the braid will go at the weakest point and usually break close to the reel , which s a bummer in 200ft of water ! Wrecking, I use 28lb braid to a 28lb or 30lb leader, My lure trace is usually 50lb rig body as I need it to be quite stiff to avoid 'drop down tangles' ...........

My new toy arrived today. I have been trying to get a Shimano one for almost a year, but they don't seem to be available in the Uk and Shimano in Oz and Singapore will not allow shops to export this product (I have no idea why ?). There are many Chinese copies, but not many have good reviews. However, Trabucco have come to the rescue with their version of the 'Bobbin Knotter', not cheap, but it makes life easy. Currently I use a Bimini Twist knot on my 80lb top shot and then an Australian Plait Knot for the wind on leader loop. On my wrecking gear I usually tie a Yucatan , which is easy ti tie in seconds and very strong. Sometimes I use the FG knot, but on a rocking boat, they are a PITA to tie. Closely associated to the FG knot is the PR knot. They are essentially the same thing, except the FG is 'woven' and the PR is 'overlapped' , but both have the same end result which is a cross looped tourniquet onto the leader material, which works the same as a 'pulling sock' or Chinese finger trap. The strength of a well tied FG and PR knot is 90 - 100% of the line BS. The PR, being overlapped needs to be longer than the FG (woven), but both are extremely slimline and will fit through the smallest of guides. With the bobbin knotter, a PR knot can be tied very easily ............. Here is an Ozzy 'how to' vid Here is the Yank vid especially for @Andy135 .......... notice the T-shirt logo 🤣

Unfortunately, my BUPA membership finished when I retired at 57, as it was too complex to shift it to a private membership without a massive price hike. I am guessing Brian, that you have multifocal lenses fitted (like varifocal glasses, but better). When I had my assessment the optician was Chilean, and I think he was quite impressed when I spoke to him in Latino Spanish, which I speak fluently, in fact, we conducted most of the session speaking in his native language ! After some consultation about my lifestyle, he told me that my eyes are very round and have little, or no, astigmatism, therefore he felt that standard lenses would work better for me and I might just need some reading glasses for 'closeup' work.

Well, I don't like cricket, I don't like football, and I certainly dont particularly like a drama queen show with two ugly fat bastids ..............🤣

I use the Hearty Rise Slow Jigging II rods, but I am not sure I would put on the power like these guys do !

This quite interesting, especially the Shimano Reel .............. I can see me spending some more cash ! Boat is quite nice as well...........

Paddy is stumbling through the woods, totally drunk, when he comes upon a Preacher baptizing people in the river. Long He proceeds to walk into the water and subsequently bumps into the Preacher... The Preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of alcohol, whereupon he asks Drunk, 'Are you ready to find Jesus?' The drunk shouts, ' Hicc..yes, I am.' So the Preacher grabs him and dunks him in the water. He pulls him up and asks the drunk, 'Brother have you found Jesus?' The drunk replies, 'No, I haven't found Jesus.' The Preacher shocked at the answer, dunks him Into the water again for a little longer. He again pulls him out of the water and asks again, 'Have you found Jesus my brother?' The drunk again answers, 'No, I haven't Found Jesus.' By this time the Preacher is at his wits end and dunks the drunk in the water again --- But this time holds him down for about 30 seconds and when he begins kicking his arms and legs so he pulls him up. The Preacher again asks the drunk, 'For the love of God, have you found Jesus..!!?' Paddy wipes his eyes, catches his breath, and says to the preacher, 'now tell me this, are you sure this is where he fell in' ?

The only dressed crabs we see here are Brown Crab and also Lobster. I know that a very high % of the Spiders were exported to France & Belgium ............ I thought the figure was over 90%

Here is Kyle with a 3lb Spider that he caught last summer in 60ft of water. It was a fair catch and mouth hooked. We ate that one ....... I quite like Spider Crab meat, there is less of it, but it is a very sweet meat

So, we now have Cornish Sole, which taste feck'in horrible, and Cornish King crab, which I am quite partial to ............. TBF: most of the bigger spiders are caught in Devon ................. So the next 'Dangerous Catch' series will be the King Crab boats out of Looe .........🤣 Here you go .......... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-55996938

Paddy is on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire " and he is doing rather well. He is at the final question for a million pounds with Chris Tarrant (The UK host), he has only one life line left....phone a friend. The question comes: "Which bird does not make a nest?,: A) a Sparrow, B) a Swallow, C) a Blackbird or D) a Cuckoo Paddy doesnt know so he calls his friend Murphy. Murphy answers 'be jesus Paddy, it's a cuckoo 100%.' - Paddy wins the million pounds and is very happy. Afterward Paddy rings Murphy and asks him 'How the fuck did you know that? Murphy replies ' Well Paddy yer thick git...it lives in a fucking clock...'

You might get it quicker than you expect Steve, as there are some fussy folk that are turning down AZ jabs, and want the Pfizer Vac. However, the Vac centres do not know in advance what Vac they have coming in, so that is actually a very bad strategy as these people could be waiting months for a Jab. My take on it ........ anything is a 1000% better than nothing ! Also, I reckon, just like the flu Vac, there will be boosters every year and that will take into account any mutations.

When I enquired during the pre op process, they told me driving was allowed after 48 hours, provided that you can read a registration number at 20m (the legal requirement). However, long distance driving should be avoided for 6 weeks. Also, I will not be allowed to lift anything heavy for 28 days, which is the healing period, apparently some folk heal in a couple of weeks, and others take longer. Experience from previous injuries, tells me I am a relatively quick healer ! Like you, I have had no side effects from the Jab ..........

I have joined your club Geoff, I was jabbed today. It was a good move of the Hospital putting me on the 'reserve' list. I shall feel a lot happier going to the hospital for the eye surgery in 2 weeks time, the AZ jab will have just about had time to kick in by then.

Blond as well ! ............... 🤣

It doesn't matter what you do Geoff, if the Pikey's want it then, the Pikey's will find away of taking it !. However, making life difficult for them tends to put them off and also stops the opportunist thief. Mine is parked in the driveway with the Jeep parked in front of it, so the drawbar is under the front of the Jeep. The hitch is locked (a feature of the later Knott couplings) and also a wheel clamp is fitted. Additionally, a WIFI CCTV camera keeps a 24/7 eye on it. I live at the end of a private road with no street lighting, so I also have PIR floodlights in the drive and around the bungalow.

Waters leased by Exeter & District, who also have the canal rights and a couple of lakes out at Tiverton. TBF there are some interesting fish in the canal with Carp and Pike going to well over 40lb. 40 years ago I used to fish in the Canal Turf Locks during the winter and a 2lb Roach / 3lb Perch was not uncommon. However, the canal is now very, very weedy and difficult to fish, since the sewerage boat (known as the 'shit' boat) stopped running many years ago. It used to go up and down twice a day. That part of the Exe used to hold Dace & Chub, but it is many years since I fished their waters. Not really Poaching, in course terms it is called 'Guesting' ........... but he had No EA licence and no Exeter permit, so I guess justice was served.

The Ribcraft has a fully sealed front anchor well and the guys at the factory have asked me to give them a drawing of the proposed fixing before I go ahead with it. They mentioned different methods of fixing to ensure the deck integrity is preserved. I will go with what they suggest as the boat has warranty for 5 years. Interestingly, the Anchor well is not drained, it is completely glassed on the inside and full sealed, it is the user's responsibility to remove any water that drains from the warp etc. I normally leave it on the bow deck to dry before I stow it back into the well. The underfloor cable duct is sealed at both ends. At the stern it stands proud of the deck by 9" (ish) so it is always above the level of the elephant trunks. They seal the cables in the duct with a compound and heatshrink. The Console is bonded to the deck during the build (no bolts or screws) and is completely sealed. It is vented by 2 small vents located at the top of the dashboard. The seat pods are the same, bonded and completely sealed, even the hinged seat lids are rubber gasket sealed.

Thanks, i have my fingers crossed that it all turns out Ok, all my life I was blessed with excellent vision. I didn't need glasses until my mid 50's I have gone from 20/20 vision (with varifocals) to a point where I can't read a number plate at 20m and varifocals make no difference ...... all in 2 years. My night vision is completely non existent, I fell over twice in the autumn going to the loo in the early hours 🤣 ........ walking into a door feck'in hurts ! The medics have blamed it on my Ulcerative Colitis (also 2 years) which has been caused by an over active immune system ....... apparently the two are linked
