Bloody hell, from sensible people carrier to boy racer in two giant leaps for dadkind!

Your children?

If the claims for gains made by equipment manufacturers and aero consultants are to be believed, it will soon be possible to finish a '10' before you start.

Church halls across the land will be full of rich middle aged men boasting how they achieved a -00.32 in the Wobbly Wheelers 10, there will be very few juniors, no unsponsored ones.

No great change, then.

Correct analysis of the likely problem, but postcrete is a weak and brittle mix, plus the stones have to be sieved out. This is why the karate chop method works, it forces the mix beneath the slab edges and any excess can be brushed off without staining once dryish, usually about 30 mins. Karate away until thr pointing is solid and then smooth to match the surface to the surrounding pointing with a gloved finger. The potentially of having to point a larger area does exist...

Extremely well! The hook emerges through the back when a fish (eventually) takes it, brilliant for bass in weedy and rocky areas.

Nope, knock away the surrounding pointing until you find a bit without a gap beneath. Fill with 1 part of cement to 3 parts of building sand mixed with just enough water to make it stick together. Karate chop the mix in with the edge of a trowel. Kiln dried is the perfect seed bed for weeds.

Did my first night of the year for carp last night on the syndicate lake. The fat, greedy, wobbly bastards treated me with utter disdain. Redeemed myself somewhat by switching to tench and bream in the day, a lovely 7lb tench and 7 bream between 7 and 9.

@EB, I feel your pain, I understand the years of hard work that must have gone into it.

Good year for tadpoles.

Use a fry imitation and catch a pike, not the biggest surprise. Thrash out a budgie imitation and catch daft stockie trout, ditto.

Just to annoy you, the Darent fined down and cleared on Friday, this is my first on the 3 weight and dry (klink) of the year. There were 3 others, all rising to a hatch of olives

Never fear, it rose 1' yesterday and will be unfishable for a week...

True; by birth, character and follicles. Just be careful how you say it.

Thanks, I feel like myself again.

@Phildas: I guess by 'fine specimen' you meant 'should be in a jar of formaldehyde'.

Closely related to Russell Hobbs teapot.

I must write an extremely long post on that subject, which few people will understand, but everyone will nod sagely at for fear of being considered stupid.

A philosophy discussion thread already exists, it lasted 12 years during which time there were 39 posts, many of which were flippant. Could I suggest we use this forgotten resource for the posting of memes?

As decided by Ukraine in 1995, but still used elsewhere since. As 'Kiev' is the Russian version I apologise without reservation.

Doesn't stop Swanley being a shithole.

Was conflicted on which spelling to use, if you wish to split hairs you're talking to the wrong man.

But only if you don't need a shit....

If you want a friendly welcome, go to Kiev wearing an 'I Love Putin' t shirt rather than setting foot in Swanley. I would say avoid it like the plague, but the plague would be preferable.

The pubs in the valley have pretty much all gone over to catering for visitors. For instance, the Samuel Palmer in Shoreham was recently The George, which was a proper boozer, it is still OKish. The nearest thing to a proper pub in Shoreham is The Crown.

I used to live in the valley and still visit most weeks, but now with a fishing rod not a bike.

Just saw this, top man for helping, I rode for them in the 90s/00s and hope whoever is fine. I will try and find out tomorrow.

I am absolutely poised and ready to rip your throat out, once I've caught this pesky rabbit.

Prostate cancer is saying 'get this murdering bastard off me!'

My other half said the very same thing, she was looking at me.

Errrm... Why not fill it with tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, aubergines, chillies and salady stuff? Or grow stuff from seed for planting out later. Y'know, use your greenhouse as a greenhouse...

That's a perfectly good mix, but judging by the panels the span is about 9m. The presence of the Spacehopper indicates kids, so it my be wise to lose the dog rose, blackthorn and hawthorn. The remaining varieties would be more than enough, leaving kids and Spacehopper unpunched.

Laurel, I am guessing you mean Cherry Laurel, would certainly do the job. My one word of caution is that without a lot of constant pruning it will get very large at an alarming rate, with the leaves only appearing towards the top of each branch.
