commonly Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Whilst there's no denying they're good alarms, I've always thought they look like an old mobile phone, brick like. I would say that they are behind the times a bit in terms of design & have most likely missed a good few customers. A bit like the I phone xxx, doesn't actually do much more than a basic smart phone, but you'll always have the tarts that have more money than sense & will have to have it!! A bit too much carp tax on these to turn my head! Quote

elmoputney Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 Do people still think for themselves is my thought for the day ? I am selling a punch bag on gumtree at the moment, one of the questions I received was "can I attach this to a tree ?" not the most annoying question but, it got me thinking some people really expect others to do all there homework for them these days, I know when I buy something I have a plan for It and I will research how to make that happen' so for instance If I wanted a punch bag that attached to a tree I would know exactly the right way to do it, Google would probably tell me all i needed to know in 5 minutes, but all too often I will spend my time doing this research only for them to not even respond when I do, either that or the thought of having to spend 5 minutes on google is enough to put most people off, so my point it do people think for themselves or do we expect others to do all our thinking for us these days ??? this could be related back to angling quite easily btw, being new back I am spending quite a lot of time researching/planning at the moment, and for me that is always the fun part, Its the part you can take to work with you, anywhere you have a spare few minutes, for me learning Is the key to success," I may not be successful, but I am learning to be more successful" Quote

elmoputney Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 Glad I said it was tough to get a freezer, just done a deal for one £30 delivered boom Well done being a dad yonny, it is fun isn't it I've got 2 girls 3+4 , I am only just managing to nick a few hours fishing here and there, I have been looking into pink fishing rods and trying to get them interested A thought for all the youngsters make the most of your angling time while you can, you won't get that chance again later on yonny and commonly 2 Quote

elmoputney Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 Freezers are like busses 2 came along at once , I had made an offer on a fridge freezer the other day another buyer bailed so it's mine now, I did have to cancel the other one though , but a bait freezer , bait/beer fridge has more appeal Quote

Don't worry we may of left the EU by the time they do anything! Lead was sposed to of been banned from fishing, back in the late 80's early 90's. On the rivers and canals anyway. I remember split shot nearly tripled in price. I guess as usual carp fisheries turn a blind eye to it. Quote

elmoputney Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 My thought of the day, I wish I had some bait already made, I could've snuck in a few hours. I did make a bit today though so popped some in the freezer for next time Quote
yonny Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 3 minutes ago, elmoputney said: I wish I had some bait already made Not tempted to buy some readymades to keep in the freezer for emergencies bud? There's some top quality baits around nowadays. So good that I haven't made any myself in quire some years, not worth the hassle imo and when I price my time into the equation I can't see it's any cheaper tbh. Defo a labour of love is bait making.

elmoputney Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 Sometimes I do wonder if it's worth it,but I do quite enjoy it, I think once I have a mix I am happy with I may get some made up for me though it is quite time consuming, yonny 1 Quote
