i had a very similar occurrence back in the mid 70s, Circa 76-77. for a week i had vivid dreams in which the number 4 was very prominent, four people at a bus stop or walking thru a door with a number 4 on it. one saturday i strolled over the pub and called in the bookies as i was want to do in my youth and upon perusing the board i saw virgina wade was fave to win wimbledon, thinking nowt of it i looked at the horse cards and lo and behold virginia wade was running, i thought lol i might have some of that but just then the dogs card rolled up the screen and bug##r me she was running in a dog race too, i thought cripes shes fit. i had a very weird de je vue moment and the dream came back to me but thinking nope it was the number four that was in the dream and there are only three wades so i had the three of them in win, doubles and a treble, but as i was writing the ticket i saw a horse called 'tennis champ' too WOOhooo! banged that in the acca with the rest of them all to win and grossed £7500. and a bit that day not bad for a dream and as such i dont pass over them now lol

hahaha!! i could just see you in a trench coat and trilby

never fished up your way but, welcome to the nuthouse. im sure some fellow bin dippers will be along soon to hep you out

i have the cyprinus wideguy double, bigger than the nash emperor. its big enough for me and the wife to lie together on but i just like the spreading out for comfort

yeh i have a wideguy double bed and at over 1.2 mtr width it do present a challenge was thinking that with the front zipped out and the overwrap on you should get another 3ft at least.

been looking at the two man for a while now, i can get one for the same price as the one man so thinking that is the way to go. i have the TFgear 2 man pop up atm and it has seen me for 8 years now so was looking for a comparable replacement

how long to put up dovii and how difficult a job?

my braid scissors have a little half circle cut out of the bottom blade, meant for cutting rig wire and wont cut braid for toffee but thats where my mono get it

have you not worked out how many mountain quail eggs you can get in your pocket yet Tim?

let me know when you are going out again Ian and i will pop over with a good supply of lager, i can get right royally schizzled and you can sharpen all your scissors on my leavings (just dont tell steve)

i would recommend the Fox Warriors in 2.5 TC if you can get them still, i have the Warrior S in 2.75 and i have used them constantly, almost weekly for over 8 years for feeder, method and ledger fishing with weights as low as 1oz up to 4oz with no loss of quality at all. but then i am a cheapskate

i just swipe the wifes nail scissors and then SHE buys a new pair

I'm shocked you think so sir, so very shocked. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

bulky but solid piece of kit, i'm not tarty but at £20+ each i would be paying way too much for something i would never get the full use of, and for that reason i'm out

Neal beat me to the suspender float idea, you can put a boilie on it and then you adjust the height of the bait by the simple expedient of tightening down or slacking up, this will have the effect of holding the bait in the surface film or just under, up to you. have a good look at the rules first tho as it will be no good arguing with the bailiff if the rule states 'no surface baits'. here is the float in action bud.

you are aware that its not actually a swear word neal? have you been on the beverage by any chance?

hahaha!! learn to spell and it wont get thru next time lol i had 17 notifications from you and i thought you were having a twitchy fit :lol:

i clicked the like button on the above post out of admiration for Tim as he had the presence of mind to withhold his ire, the patience to wait a week and the sheer balls to stand up and say something when no one, thats NO one in a position to do something about it has done. also now that the person responsible for the snide remark is only lurking he wont accuse me of exhibiting bro love sad, very sad

do they not also run off a 6v 4ah battery? if so you can pick them up for less than £15 oops, i did the same as the others, sorry tony

bigdog, i think that your post is a good one, it certainly puts your perspective on the for or against argument from someone on the ground. do you have any idea what the ambient water temp is in the murray darling basin? my reason for asking this is the fact that if the water temps reach as high as they did in 2005-2006 there may be a problem albiet one that should have been considered by whoever researched using the KHV as a mass culling method and that is that the effects of the virus are nulled in temperatures around 24-30 deg F (75-80C). it would be interesting to know what the temps are this year.

get yourself a pond PH kit and a small water fountain from most reputable garden and pond centers and check it first thing in he morning and last light as it can change drastically over a few hours, do that every couple of days till your plants are established then once a week. the pond fountain will act as an aerator on a small scale, your PH should be around 7.5, i would say no lower than 5.5 and no higher than 10. any higher or lower and you are gonna have fatalities, if its too acidic then do a water swap with tap water that has been standing in a covered water butt for a day or two as this allows a lot of the carbon dioxide to bleed off, as most tap water has a PH of 6.5 to 7.5 it makes it ideal for your pond. if it is to far on the alkaline side just use a hose straight from the garden tap till it comes down to a safe level as it is the carbon dioxide that is the biggest culprit where PH is concerned... easy really init

wow!! dont they look cute, if they're good enough for danny boy

they can be hard work Tim also they can be heart breaking if you dont get it right. just keep Tj away from the fairy liquid and the pool, i came home from work one day and as i came round the corner i was met with a 10ft high wall of fake snow. wasn't so funny when i realized it was oozing over my side fence

haha!! got that one too
