Aren't they planning on culling a lot of the carp in the rivers in Spain.... been making the fishing side of the news over here recently .

Don't think it was there website , as I just had a look and it's not somewhere i've looked before . But definitely recognised them straight away.

Looks like an awesome trip . Recognise a few of those photos from somewhere perhaps your bait website?

Can I point out why I said this post is Tosh. Firstly I worked in the construction industry in Australia & I can tell you for a fact that they have exactly the same tools available to them as we do over here , they actually seemed to get them before us as I didn't see some of the tools I was using over there years later back in the uk but you can definitely get all of the major brands over there . Cars, nearly all the major brands of car are available over there , in fact I would say they have a more diverse car selection over there because of there love of v8 motors . Materials were second to none & i was constantly surprised how far behind we were in those regards . So to say that Australia is some sort of prison is so far from reality & you would know this if you had actually been there ! & not just second hand knowledge. You guys believe what you like but I have actually worked out there . Apologies newmarket shouldn't of brought you into the debate , but the post was so factually incorrect. Oh & as for the buying stuff off the Internet etc cyborx your opening gambit was all about how they have ruined the country with lack of control of what comes in .... so I am surprised your against tighter controls . I will leave you to it guys

Cm we are not the most multicultural country in the world. Far from it in fact Australia has a far higher number of different languages spoken & considering the population difference they are far more multicultural than us . I also never called anyone racist. ... just narrow minded & pointed out my dislike for jibes made at people's back grounds & race . Not sure about all this hard life stuff you have no idea how hard my life might or might not be . My trade is one if not the hardest working trade on site. Let's leave it now . As I shall not reply again .

Lol mate .... it's not that I can't handle the BS just got far better things to do with my time than having to keep reading it . Thanks for all the pm's too guys gave me a reason to log in if nothing else. See you on bank one day & Be lucky . Phil . Oh & mufty really hope they take you up on that contact I gave you there really is no one better in the country. Pretty sure everyone who is coming on the casting day has my mobile number so keep in contact with me via that. Have a good season lads

It's got nothing to do with having a hard life & working in those areas of Birmingham certainly wasn't hard met some great people mostly Sikhs in the areas I worked.... only moaners & people who think there owed something come up with terminology like that . Life's out there to grasp people can do what ever they want with it . your the king of snide comments on here cyborx as your last post just proved you no nothing of where I grew up etc . No need to block I won't be on here anymore fed up of listening to your nonsense.

My first job when I left school had me working in the roughest area's of Birmingham where I was a minority as a white English man which I did for many years so your assumption of me is completely wrong. I've worked hard to end up living where I do now & life is a struggle to maintain it every day . So don't see the need for your comments. Cyborx I drove all round Australia thanks pulled into towns where they hadn't seen a car for decades worked with all different types of Australians including Aboriginal . .... you guys keep making your assumptions.

So all Australians are convicts So Your including the many millions that come from Italian decent Greek / Chinese / Canadian / Sri Lanka / I could go on & on & these are just some of the people I personally know & call friends and there family history. I will leave you to your narrow minded view now . Phir with your background perhaps going down the route of what an impact millions of rotting fish will have on water quality / environment is the way forward & push for a netting scheme instead, which would leave you with a smaller but healthy population of carp . Best of luck .

Apologies spr ... But I can't Stand insults aimed at people's race & backgrounds . And at no point can I see the need to keep calling our Ozi relatives convicts in a thread about the plight of there carp

if you called any of my Ozi mates a convict to there face you would be picking your teeth up off the floor . Perhaps if your world wasn't so small you would know this , & wouldn't of mentioned it in the first place .

Load of Tosh ! Think we all know what your convict jibes were about . Trying to back down on them with a story of one disgruntled Australian pathetic. I can't stand race jibes! We have Australian friends every other year come and visit us, if you think all Australians think they live in a prison, so it's OK to call them convicts you are very miss guided. And as for newmarket liking your post that doesn't surprise me one bit either. Sad very sad .

The problem here is .... we are looking at it from our point of view & not the Australian governments. At a guess I would say that 90% if not higher of Australians see carp as a real problem over there so the government is already listening to there population . I could never agree with releasing a virus into the wild perhaps wide scale industrial netting is needed but it will still end badly for the carp . As I said I've lived out there & know first hand what they think about carp !

Do you think it will have any sway if people from the other side of the world vote on this petition. The votes need to be by Australians.

it's 100 thousand not 10 thousand . And all it means even if you do get to that figure is that it will be raised in parliament & then dismissed.

Phir, I would like to completely disassociate with the convict jibes in this thread , I have lived & worked in Australia & it's a fantastic country. I feel for your plight but these E petitions are a waste of time mate .

You haven't included plants on your UK list but you did for your Australian one . Include plants and there's a big difference.

What's your take on the UK then cyborx. ... as that list is smaller than ours ?

The quarry is also another lake well worth a visit down that neck of the woods.

I would go down the exclusive lake hire route in that case mate .

Can I ask why you would like to pre book a swim ? The fish couldn't be at the other end of the lake .

I wouldn't have in the team personally. With the lack of form of our wingers I think a diamond with a front two of Vardy / Kane / might be a better option.

Where though stevo ? You couldn't start him in front of the other strikers.

Mufty, I listened to a bit on the radio ,did Rooney play as bad as they were saying? If so no way he should be in the starting line up in the summer for England he's been poor all season.
