Hopefully my dad should be going back to the community hospital for rehabilitation tomorrow. He has managed to get around using a walking frame with the physio.

A 29lb 5oz mirror on Friday evening. I had 3 rods about a rod length from an island but saw 3 shows really close and so lengthened the cast to a really shallow spot. Did a 54 hour stint and that was it and didn't hear of any other fish coming out. Strange as Saturday conditions were perfect as the temperature rose a bit and a pretty strong Southerly wind picked up and chopped up the water.

Hi Nick Sorry I've just read your post . So how is your Dad at the moment , please ? . I recently took my Wife to A&E , Ipswich Hospital , and we were in there overnight for 12 hours , so I know exactly what it's like . You were great in keeping your temper under control under stressful circumstances , I could have quite happily punched the first hospital employee I saw who just wound me up . My Mum had dementia , and it became too hard for her to live at home so she went to live in a friendly care home in the village . Fortunately I didn't have to deal with a social worker , just a care home Manager with empathy , and knew what she was doing . Take care . 😃

Literally, makes my old stihl and parker saws redundant half the weight,

As a long time Silkey manual saw for lake maintenance, I bought this... Wow,man this is awesome...

Little intimate water I found recently,Tranny and 2+1...

10kg of premier superaminos base mix arrived today 👍🏻

There are few tackle brands I trust totally, knowing that it is right first time, but Gardner are one of those that I have not ever had a dodgy item. In the 1990's I bought a Gardner Landing Net. It lasted until 2004 when it was stolen, I don't recall even replacing the mesh. Gardner hooks I have found blooming (as in to make bleed figuratively and literally) pinprick sharp straight out of the packet. I used their PVA mesh bags for years, and I haven't changed from Gardner Pro line other than a brief flirtation when no-one had any in stock after Richard Gardner sent me the sample batch to test myself before its release. If I ever contemplate moving away from my Delkim loyalty (I've never had any problems) the only alarm I would switch to would be Gardner. I did play with the original TLB's and the wired sounder, they were nice and did look good.

Gardner make good quality stuff imo, my alarms are bomb proof, my g force stove is amazing even after 2 years the piezzo ignition still works (great stove) and a decent price

My thoughts exactly. Rather wait a few more months for a quality product that lasts, than buy a mk1 that needs replacing with a mk2 in the first year.

Sorry to hear that @salokcinnodrog. I hope he pulls through. Those waits @ A&E you refer to in your FB post are horrendous. A very close friend of mine had a stroke last week. He was taken to hospital and dumped in A&E for 12 hours before receiving any treatment. It's completely unacceptable.

I really don't know where to start! It's been a difficult few weeks with my dad in hospital since a fall at his flat in August. Just when we thought he was recovering, he had a chest infection turn into pneumonia while in the rehab community hospital at Aldeburgh, so got rushed back to Ipswich Hospital A&E on Saturday night, where he has been ever since. Back in August I made a long Facebook post https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1JEEY9X2sB/

the boys rods out on the spots

Google AI suggests mid September if you believe that 🤔

Or at least they are actually field testing them…

Guess that boat from China is taking it's time 😂 What a shambles!!!

Gardner said they'll be out in 2025 so they could still be a couple of months away.

Lol.... it is a shambles, apart from that earlier bloke I posted about them, nothing else. Guess I will give up on them tbh

Possibly be when they run out of TLB+ alarms lol

Go straight to the Burger Box for a burger n wing combo meal I reckon.

Maybe we'll skip this high tea thing after all lol

Thanks for the link 👍 Even though I don't do FB I could watch it. Thinking this might be sods law, despite my earlier reservations on them I might consider getting a pair. However, the lack of info and release date is a bit concerning tbh. Will also wait for any longer term reviews on them if they ever go on sale?!

how about marmalade?? 🤔

Unfortunately Gardner are absolute pants with social media so can’t find much the video I took the screenshot from is one about back leads really and the alarms are just a couple of clips https://fb.watch/BT1qeTCeoy/?fs=e

Isn’t Darren henwood (dalectronics) is having something to do with these as he did the originals.
