There is no God, if there were, neither of us would exist, purely because no deity would release us upon an innocent planet of their creation.

But, if our existence is part of the great scheme, the creator would demand lemon and sugar. Anyone suggesting savoury fillings would be cast into the 7th ring of Hell, or Milton Keynes, whichever was nearest.

F-Troop refer to 4c (remedial) as 'whatever you say, boss'.

You've just described it perfectly, Google 'fishing a stick float' and the shotting pattern will be explained. 6lb main line, 5lb fluorocarbon hooklink about 10" long and a bloody great lump of flake squeezed around an equally bloody great size 6 hook. It is possible to trot (allow the float to trundle along with the current) with a fixed spool reel with the bail arm open, but a free running centrepin gives much better control.

I have now had over 20 chub in 5x 3 or 4 hour trips, only 3 of them have been slightly under 3lbs and 3 above 4lbs. Have another 4 plus!

An amphibian seeking help from a semi-aquatic mammal? Be a good samaritan and give him a lift to the nearest pond.

I find a folding trenching shovel effective at both despatch and disposal.

I have Bresser Hunter 8x40 porro prism and they're fine, £40ish on Ebay.

Hobbits.

Being a peregrine in Peckham is rare; getting mugged there, less so.

Shouldn't you be attaining your black belt (5th dan) in flat pack furnishings?

Very nice, may I reply in kind with tonight's sunset?

A couple from my early evening walk.

I fished 5 swims and caught a 3lb plus chub in every one, I seem to have been gifted a a goldmine. If I looked at a swim and thought that a chub should live there, it did. Everything caught on trotted breadflake, it was like turning my watch back 50 years. Yes, I do know how lucky I am.

And today I went full-on Mr Crabtree and took the 1950s Richard Walker MKIV Avon down to the mighty rolling river Tillingham.

I have the 3 stone kit which works perfectly well for my knives. Owners of posh knives may disagree.

Saddle angle and kickstand, otherwise perfect.

Needs pins.

A tenner is lots when you have fuck all.

Married is a different way of saying 'engaged to be divorced'.

Sorry, can't count that high.

What's wrong with 1,2,3, lots (Pratchett, T. deceased)?

You're replying to a post that's 2 months old? Yes, I have ridden Lightweights, they're great, but the font is ugly, which is what I said in the first place. The point was that it is daft to put superlight aero equipment on a heavy non-aero frame. It's a bit like putting a Ferrari engine in a Ford Transit van.

Fucking delicious.

Second, over 4, will be taking scales next time, I didn't expect anything above a pound from a 12' wide stream.

As expected I blanked on my first attempt at the Tillingham, it was chocolate coloured and going at a million miles an hour.

Sneaked a couple of hours today and broke my Tillingham/centrepin duck in grand fashion.

First fish 3lbs ish.
