So we've been talking about all the old Coarse/Match days we used fish and its brought back some good memory's of some old course places we used to fish. Gonna put this out there.......I've really been looking at FULL Match Setups and even people wanting to swap there Match Setuos for Carp Setups. 100% staying on the Carp Front now, reasons being.....

Yeah .I've had constant nausea for over a week now along with the usual symptoms, body aches, fever, bad head and chest. Seems so much worse in the mornings for some reason.

commonly Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Get well soon gents. Have u tested for Covid?? I know a few people say they have had it recently (confirmed with tests). '6 week cold' is a term I hear a bit, but I've had it on and off for well over 6 weeks. I wake up all full of snot, then around 3-5pm I start loosing my voice???

Golden Paws Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Yes, I'm just getting over that cold after 3 weeks and plenty of people I know have had it as well. I had Covid a few years ago at the final lockdown and that was a piece of cake compared to this one (I was treble jabbed, so that probably helped.)
