Are earr wax removals big payers then?

Yes as long as it was on another lake

It's becoming a thing though isn't it? The Vanglers I just think it misses the whole point, I can see the benefit of quick packdown times and that but I think sitting in a van isn't proper fishing, it's like a mobile cabin and them things are going to ruin lots of lakes too if we're not careful, i had the big fully out of hot tub 3 at 6 wraps 😳

One thing that really bugs me is people that just turn up and drive round the swims lol, I leave my car away from the lake grab and bucket and walk round, not many do that anymore, I'm seeing a lot more vanglers lately too (kitted out fishing vans lol) , I don't want to see vans in place of bivvies when I look across the lake, I always try to park up behind trees or bushes so it doesn't spoil the view or stand out to the carp too much but they love getting them vans right in the swim, it also gave me a better idea where I can prebait though any swim you can't easily drive in 😂

I think I am anti social 😂 The phrase has annoyed me too in the past, I set up in a swim further up the bank because there was already 2 the other side one of them went past in his van and came back, then another one came past in his van pulled up behind mine, left the engine running whilst chatting to me, announcing he was just going to see his mate, drove back out then came back later stopped again announced he was going round there for a social with his mate, didn't invite me for a beer or nothing, fair enough, then they get set up and the other dude starts noisily packing up must have done about 100 spombs all over the place before he stuck it up a tree,still hangs there like an Xmas Dec he left at 11.30pm and then drove past me and returned at 7am and noisily got everything out the van, and started casting all over the place That session really annoyed me especially as if I knew the social man was going to go in the swim I had been baiting I would have just gone in it myself but to me that seemed bad etiquette, I want to do another France trip if anyone fancies it? I would have to clear it with the misses but now I really want to go back 😍

You should have been worried ages ago this is just the final death rattle,they've already done much worse, they've done a destroy and exit now, even GB news has started praising starmer now, which Definately highlights how untrustworthy he is, The tories are finished they really don't have a leg to stand on now, you have kwasi on drugs at the queen's funeral making economic decisions and really bad ones, that will make us suffer for years to come, it's a class war now and if you can't see that then you will have a rude awakening sometime, I won't rise to the anti Corbyn comment, just let you know you are wrong but you will never seek to understand why, but you should the truth is out there, he will be reinstated soon, call it a hunch, As for Boris's charm, yes he was pretty good on have I got news for you, but the fact he pretty much got sacked from every job for lying, really never made him prime minister material, he was finished because of his corruption, they were quick to get rid of him because his ties with the kgb were about to come out, and we all know the tories really loved the oligarchy, if you still think tories have done a good job then it's looking really hopeless because I bet you can't name the things they've done well?

Yes but not with a table sides for cooking on 😂

No they didn't say a price for it, but like most carp tackle, probably billions too much

Yes but it turns into a kitchen, now that is a good bucket 👍

Probably best to avoid it then, a horlicks on its own isn't a bad alternative though,

Must be nice having a government that wants to help its people a bit 😉

Has anybody mentioned bailicks yet? The greatest winter warmer that only I seem to rave about 😂

Lol the old B word nobody wants to mention, they have been stripping the country bare ever since, blaming covid, Russians, oligarchs, and Jeremy Corbyn, everyone but themselves Is it just the French goverment that have also knocked 30 cents off a litre of fuel? Or is that an EU thing too?

For me it's the corruption in the tories that is so bare faced, that ignoring it is dangerous, look at liz truss she has been in the job a week already looking to borrow a further 150bn to subsidise the energy companies, who are already making vast profits for the shareholders each quarter, but not enough to reduce their profits with a windfall tax, now personally this is where Labour doesn't now go far enough now, and the only real solution should be renationalising our utilities, because bringing them back into public ownership would basically mean all profits would be reinvested rather than grifted into an offshore tax haven like they are now, there certainly wouldn't have been a cost of living crisis and the tax payers wouldn't be gifting some fat cats 150bn to essentially continue to overcharge us, But that's what you voted for, tories = corruption, sleaze, self interest and capitalism, its capitalism that causes wars, dumps sewage into your waterways, causes poverty, and keeps your wages low, it's capitalism that buys all the houses and rents them back to you at extortionate rates, and it's capitalism that is going to destroy the planet, Why do capitalists spend so long telling you socialism doesn't work? It's pretty simple the few want all the money and don't want you to stop giving them cheap labour, basically they enjoy having you as a slave and find many ways to make you poorer, basically they are parasites and they have an abundance of everything and you give your life to work and end up about as rich as when you started

Wow that's an amazing shot, I want one myself now, I also now want a good kite shot lol, I've got a monopod I might start taking that for a walk with me and see if I can't get some nice pics, My best owl moment was in my old volvo 440 (I came way to close to deer also but that's another story) , I was driving along late one night and this big white barn owl just flew right in front of me for ages before landing in a bare tree, I would quite often see it in that tree after that, That place sounds amazing you will have to tell me where it is😉😉😉

They are just amazing though something special about seeing a bird of prey I think, a bloke was walking his dog coming towards me I think it was him that got too close, but he barely even noticed it til I told him then when he saw it he thanked me for showing it too him, I was like wow that's amazing, look look, I do see quite a few buzzards now hovering over the fields, more so when they had just harvested but nice to see, I also see glimpses of kingfishers and green woodpeckers at the lake I visit, but they never seem to come close enough to get a photo, you just see blue flashes going from tree to tree, I'm not sure how people get kingfisher rod shots, they never seem to want to be close,

Looks lovely, I was out walking the dogs yesterday and was lucky enough to see a red kite quite close up, naturally by the time I was ready to take a photo on the phone it was too far away but wow was so impressive being close enough to see it in detail

She is worth her weight in gold that one, do look after her

More cobblers, I probably said exactly what I said today, and that rather than diffuse it he would add more fuel to the fire, perhaps if the west weren't so Interested in the Ukraine and had kept there grubby little paws out it wouldn't have happened, it was just such a good untapped resource they couldn't resist, if you believe it's just about a tyrant then you are only seeing one side of the narrative,

Now prove all those statements as factual, and not daily mail flannel guff, and for the record what is so wrong with trying to encourage peace talks rather than supplying more bombs ? Is it because there is no profit in that? I didn't really notice bozo doing anything much other than fuelling the fire, who are these wars for? And who ultimately loses each time?

Much like Blair new Labour aren't real Labour, real Labour bought you things like the NHS, they worked with unions to get you thinks like decent working conditions and 40 hour weeks, free education and weekends and all that stuff people take for granted these days,preferring to just blame lefties, left to the tories we would all be working 12+hours a day 7 days a week for the crumbs off the Lords table

You are deluded if you think anyone is as bad and morally bankrupt as this lot we've had for the last 12 years, and I still maintain Corbyn would have got us in a much better position than we are now, one question for you? Even though corbyn hasn't got the whip, why do tory leaders still have to mention him in speeches, bozo did, Starmer belittled him in PMQ'S and now Liz Truss felt the need to mention him in her speech? Also Corbyn wouldn't have given billions to cronies and taken bungs off Russian oligarchs, but carry on believing what they tell you

Lefty and proud of it, power to the people

Exactly a change is coming, but the Queen has put it on hold for a bit, doesn't mean we should take our eye of the tories though, they will be up to no good and pushing through the energy crisis thing that is just going to make the billionaires richer and leave us footing the bill for the 150bn they want to subsidise them, while we also still have to pay approx 150% more than last year, guy fawkes had the right idea
