  1. I had to Google Isotopes to remember what they are/were........... Ian
  2. sharpy, just Google Ridgemonkey toaster and scroll down to images. Dozens of them, mate. Ian
  3. I have both but seldom use the smaller one for the reason given by spr1985. Ian
  4. I have to agree. Can't remember the last time I used anything else. Ian
  5. Don't buy anything with glass lenses, trust me. My brother in law lost an eye when, having overcast into bushes, was pulling for a break and the line snapped, catapulting the lead into his polaroids. It was the glass shards that blinded him, not the lead. Plastic................ Ian
  6. Andy52 and Stoogi, both mods on here and both fishing buddies of mine swear by Baitworks products. And both have caught some very nice fish with them. I've not used their stuff yet but imagine that I soon will. Ian
  7. That's an S-type. Ian
  8. Along with four others I did three days/nights on Churn Pool, Cotswolds, a fortnight ago. The rain was incessant, varying between heavy and deluge. At no time did my ATTs show any sign of distress. Kevin, your post surprises me not one jot. Ian
  9. Todd, I use a set of the underlit ATTs and they are the best alarms I've ever owned and used. If you should decide to buy a set I feel sure that you, too, will be delighted with them. Ian
  10. I'd just like to add.......nothing. Ian
  11. Maplins would have been my first choice, too, but Hutch's offerings may well suit. Ian
  12. Stickmix, I was casting my bait to see what I'd catch....... Some of the best music ever made was by The Travelling Wilburys, of which Mr Orbison was a founder member. As for poor taste....taste is an objective thing. Sweet, savoury or ironic. I'm aware that the gentleman suffered lifetime tragedy, he reminded us frequently. Did he ever get to Tulsa? Ian

  14. Anyone like Roy Orbison? I think the best thing he ever did was to die relatively young, couldn't come soon enough for me. Ian
  15. Rig foam can be useful in situations such as this. Soak it in glug of your choice, something for next to nothing. Ian
  16. Thumbnail works for me, Dan. Ian
  17. Nick, you're learning to relax and have a laugh. It's good to see, mate. Ian
  18. I don't do messing with other people's wives, I'm happily married. For 35 years. As I'm sure you've worked out, the café at Merrington is run be a lady called Clare. I note that you're based in Wolverhampton so Merrington is just up the road from you. Their winter syndicate will have kicked in by now (I think?) so I won't be going there again this year but intend to do a few trips there next year. I'll let you know when, mate. Ian
  19. Same here. I'd add that staying calm helps the operation and that, after a little practice, the "twist of the wrist" becomes second nature. I've never used large barbs, microbarbs have always been sufficient. Ian
  20. Merrington has, in recent years, been transformed from a windswept, god forsaken place to a cracking fishery. I must get back there to ask Luke, the bailiff/bank manager, about the strange happenings at his syndie lake. Oh, and to get the Full English from the café there. Clare, I love you. Ian
  21. That could have been me typing. Cyborx, I agree with all you say, I'd love to be in that situation. Part of me wants to type "I ain't afraid of no goats". But I'm not going to. Ian
