  1. Fishing with them is against the law in Canada, (maybe all Canada, maybe not), but I think we may get away with dropping bait. With a camera you could put it right on a marker float. Limitations on weight make it marginally effective for what I like to do, but if you wanted to put boilies right on your bait it would be good.
  2. Rugby Union begat Canadian football which begat American football. Edit: Looks a LOT like rugby at this point, unusual!
  3. We'll see how long my interest lasts, I haven't watched an NFL game all year but I'm willing to be entertained, and the half-time show could be good.
  4. I enjoyed watching Man City vs Swansea this morning, Gabriel Jesus' pair of goals, (the winner with only 2 minutes remaining) prompted me to look up player's salaries. Wow. Today is football day in the US as well, their National Football League has the championship final between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons. The game (known as the Super Bowl) attracts huge television audiences and big corporations pay millions for advertising, ($5 million per 30 second ad) and the ads are almost as popular as the game. Traditionally there is entertainment at half-time, again almost as popular as the game itself. Lady Gaga is the headliner this year. Another vital component in Super Bowl Sunday is snacks. I'm going to bake bacon-wrapped chicken drumettes that have been marinating in spices and garlic all morning, and maybe deep fry some mushrooms and chips. Nick, are you going to watch Super Bowl this year? I see it comes on at 11:30 your time (correct me if I'm wrong), so shouldn't keep you up past 2 or 3 AM.

  7. She plays our bar.
  8. How does this look? http://www.psfishing.com/magna-pro-im-8-medium-heavy-feeder-125-fishing-rod.html#productinfo It's 12' 8' but maybe if you can discover who the European supplier is they will have a catalogue. Edit: How stupid of me, it all comes from Balzer in Germany and sold all over Europe. I should have remembered because I've bought a few things from them, but it was years ago. Their carp rods don't have cork handles, and the few sites I looked at were sold out of the 3 piece Magna anyway.
  9. In the states pack-bait men use a bead. I think Jerome was the first guy on CAG to use an underwater camera to evaluate rigs.

  11. You asked, it's on the radio, Jose' Feliciano.
  12. 30 years ago Amos Garrett, (who used to be in Doug Sahm and Band) brought Doug up from Texas to play our old club, and I'm listening to him at work in the bar now.

  15. One Christmas we were standing in the moonlight in a snowy field with the men who'd walked out from the farm to push our car out, drinking home brew out of a jar and I wrote a poem about it:Christmas comes but once a year, You push, I'll steer.
  16. And the last song at the end the official work day, 1 beer at the club then go build a gate.
  17. I saw this movie in the theatre. Have a set of desk speakers hooked up to a laptop while I do bottles and clean the bar/dancehall. That's what happens when you just give youtube it's head and let it pick the stream, I started off listening to the Dorseyland Jazz Band. Bwaahhh! A bit further on is Lee Marvin singing I Was Born Under A Wandering Star. They actually used to play this on the radio!
