  1. It's half-time in the Grey Cup final in Canada, Montreal Alouettes v Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
  2. I've done it in my fingers and shouldn't laugh, but being half German the schadenfreude is unavoidable.
  3. Welcome to the forum. I've used half a foam earplug quite a few times, and keep a couple in a little jar of glug.
  4. If someone could scale these pics down for me I'd appreciate it (hard to see in the glare). thx in advance
  5. My turn came but smaller, and I don't care. All you bait aficionados see this; I caught it on a Royal Carp boilie from about 2004 and a piece of earplugs soaked in some Creamsicle stuff of the same vintage.
  6. Rob got one right after I arrived, so I'm hopeful... we know they're here.
  7. Well done the catchers!
  8. Most vans here (and most other vehicles) are now automatics, but I've had lots of standard shift cars and trucks over my lifetime. For carping I had 2 Ford Windstars in a row, a 2000 and a 2002 and they were the perfect size for me because I take a lot of stuff. My first consideration was will my holdall fit? Probably a bit large by UK van standards and a 3.8L V-6 (my 2006 Liberty has a 3.7). A lot of people here who don't need them have big 1/2 ton 4x4 trucks with V-8 engines, but some people really use them.
  9. I looked at a Sedona last summer but didn't buy because it felt cramped and I thought it might be uncomfortable on a long trip. The Jeep Liberty I eventually got isn't built for fat men either, but it was such a good deal and is so much fun I don't care.
  10. I think duckduckgo is actually a better search engine, and have been making it my homepage for years. I use Google Maps, but otherwise avoid the filthy company as much as possible. Only sign into YouTube when absolutely necessary, and I use Chrome even less often. Likewise Google's twin Satan Microsoft - I'm a Linux man.
  11. @commonly my condolences on the loss of your dad. Mine also introduced me to fishing and that's something I'll always be grateful for. Re: the social - Just renewed my passport so if I win the lottery I'll be in there like a dirty shirt.
  12. I had a Silstar fly rod, and it was a budget rod without much character. I think I have a Silstar 3lb carp rod too, but it's a bit of a barge pole and I had to glue the butt ring back in first time out - but it was cheap. You can probably find something usable for the time being from local used tackle until you get dedicated carp stuff. Lots of baitfeeder reels are used in sea fishing and used ones must pop up from time to time, and depending on how far you need to cast, a long rod might not be needed. I used garage sale stuff for years before getting real carp gear. Good luck in your search!
