  1. 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.

  4. 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.
  5. 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.

  7. You asked, it's on the radio, Jose' Feliciano.
  8. 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.

  11. 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.
  12. And the last song at the end the official work day, 1 beer at the club then go build a gate.
  13. 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!
  14. I used mine to help get bait out 100 yds. My friend stood on shore and loaded my home built 500ml pop-bottle spod from the pail then I in my waders waded out as far as I could then cast, (12' surf rod and Shimmy 6500 sea reel), wade back until I could present the spod for another loading, etc. If the waves were up couldn't be done, but normally 4 gal or so of bait took about 15 min to put out. I had chest waders fill up on me once in the 70's when retrieving ducks in an old gravel pit and it's scary. I had to wait while my friend found a dead tree the right size to reach out to me and help haul me in. I drove the Gipsy back in the dark naked, wrapped in a Hudson Bay blanket hoping I wouldn't get pulled over.
  15. Someone has a few things on now, set of 3 xte-a 10000, solar pod, one day left in the auction.
  16. It's in Inuktitut but for those of you who speak it...
  17. Don't leave them rolled up in a bag all winter, hang them up to avoid cracks forming or you will get leaks, same for hip waders.
