yes Tim, dont do it lol unless that is your gonna use it to keep your hand in i had a pond with a few carp once and it was hell trying to balance the PH of the water all the time, if you do intend to do it put plenty of plants in it bro.

nice to see you got your place at the top of your pb tree back as carpbell said, not a lot of club waters around that way but there are some cracking pools, i will see if i can compile a list of waters within 45min e/w drive for you. have fun, Jon

like disappearing round the corner at first light with yer rods over your shoulder for instance??

my sincere apologies spr1985

report button son just advice so please dont take it personal but when you get snidey remarks on almost every post, somats going to crack

YAY!!!

well ok, i will admit that a few years hard labour in brum might go a little way towards counting for a hard life. so, if i block you and you do the same we might get on a little better cos that way i wont have to read your snidey comments that come from an inflated sense of superiority, and you wont have to put up with my lower class drivel. looks like a plan to me boy

CM, i will refrain from liking your post above as phil will no doubt see a little bro love in it cant blame him for being defensive towards his mates tho cos thats just being a good friend, as you say he needs to get out a little more especially next tome he gets to Oz, the outlying areas away from the nice comfy suburban areas is where the truth is told. out where you have to drive for half a day just to do a shop, i suggest he spends a week in Kalanni, they have a couple of nice lakes round there, De Courcey and Hickman. might come back with an attitude adjustment, but hey ho! i will leave it now

i have just got the cyprinus wide guy double and for what i paid (discounted to hell) £130 it just cannot be faulted. have a look at this one, again discounted up the aris and complete with 5 season bag too for less than £130.00 https://www.cyprinus.co.uk/collections/bedchairs/products/cyprinus-6-leg-fishing-carp-bed-bedchair-5-season-sleeping-bag-sleep-system i have this bivvy and i have had it for 5 years without a problem, four days in the middle of winter last year without a hitch, i can highly recomend it for the price £162.00 http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/force-8-2-man-bivvy-p165506

good job i dont know any of your aussie 'mates' then, only my own who actually call it as it is. their words not mine

so, calling an australian 'convict' rocks your boat? yours is a small world indeed Phil and dont EVER presume to know what i do or do not think bud.

i married one once

Phil, nice to see you disassociate yourself from the "convict jibe" this "jibe" was actually from a comment that a true Australian made to me while referring to his homeland, the reference also included a pictorial description of life for the greater portion of the populace. "those yabbies that run the country have put up a metaphorical wall around Australia and made it like a prison environment, you can only eat what they let you produce or what is imported under the scrutiny of the government and their lackeys. this goes for anything you use, tools vehicles and even construction materials. you cant even just grab something off an international site like amazon or ebay without it being put under the scrutiny of the dept of immigration and border protection, it makes us feel like the convicts that most of us are descended from". a quote from an Australian ex pat in this country who just wanted to have a free choice on how he lived his life, sound like convicts to me but that aside, i have just signed the petition and waste my time i hope i have not

i found this interesting little snippet for you Phil, apparently Dingo's are also an invasive species. who knew eh!! the ausie convicts have managed to spoil their environment with over 3000 none native species in less than 230 years, THAT is a little more than the uk even if you do include the plants. so according to your list that you kindly provided thats UK 70 vs AU c3000? Australia has been isolated and insulated from the rest of the world for millions of years. In its isolation many specialised plants and animals evolved that were uniquely adapted to its particular environment. Up until the arrival of Europeans settlers starting in 1788, only one non-indigenous animal was introduced to Australia. This was the dingo which arrived about 4,000 years ago. Since 1788 however more than 25 mammals, 20 birds, 4 reptiles, 1 frog, 34 fish, hundreds of marine species, an unknown number of invertebrates and more than 2,800 weeds have been introduced to Australia.

oh sorry phill, i stupidly used the same site for a more unbiased comparison and as the site you used is only a uk and uk territories it does not offer a comparison i did notice that i left rats on the ausie one tho.

well as you asked Phill, i will tell you. i think that the people who were voted in to run this country are doing just as good a job as the austrailian government are, the only differences are that the ausies are doing something (belatedly) about their predicament even if they are going about it in what i thing is a criminally irresponsible way (and if this post infringes any rules about politics, i apologize) and the brit gov are just hiding under the blankets hoping it will all go away. just remember, you asked as for the uk list being longer, you must read a different comic to me bud cos here it is, species introduced by human hands into the uk for the last 500 years, against 227 years for that convicts.

cant do that buzz, i might upset someone

the carp anglers of the whole world could protest but! and here is the crunch, the austrailian government would no more take notice of us than it would to a hippy trying to smuggle a kilo of weed in thru the border. the white population of that unfortunate country are the only blot on the landscape, they have absolutely no clue about conservation or preservation, they spout on about none native species but here is an abbreviated list of animals, insects and plants that have been introduced purposefully by humans into that otherwise pristine environment. Plants Bridal creeper Patterson's curse Koster's curse scotch thistle Mammals Water buffalo Dromedary Deer Donkey Ferret Brown hare Brumby House mouse Northern palm squirrel Polynesian rat black rat brown rat european rabbit Birds Common pheasant Common myna Common starling Eurasian skylark Eurasian blackbird Eurasian tree sparrow European greenfinch European goldfinch Feral pigeon Hill myna House sparrow Mallard Nutmeg mannikin Spotted dove Fish Asian carp Brown trout Common carp Common roach European perch Mosquitofish Rainbow trout Rosy barb Rudd Tilapia Tench Weather loach ReptilesHouse gecko Arthropods Argentine ant Black Portuguese millipede Western honeybee Red imported fire ant Yellow crazy ant ·European wasp Echinoderms Northern Pacific seastar there are many more not listed including deadly virus such as myxomatosis to control the (introduced) rabbit population, the cane toad to eradicate the larvae of the cane beetle and the list goes ever on. so sign a petition? why waste my time on the ignorant overbearing ausie bureaucrat that is so self centered that they even tried to eradicate the native Aborigine. so, sign a bit of paper for the convict crocodile hunters to ignore? waste my time i wont :twisted:
