its a shame your not there lee, you and mark eustace would be like bross on the bank, to handsome men

I wonder if the angling trust will be using beam scales on sunday.
As if the canal is going to be as hard as it was last sunday those dial scales are not going to be any good for weighing in a tight match when every ounce/dram can make a difference.

Think we might need to borrow em on Saturday!

They will probably have those Kg ones Lewis, but beam would be better !! To be fair most anglers have never seen em in Leicestershire Mate !!!!!

I've got six sets of beam scales they can buy or borrow.

There's a few odd balls around loughborough. One guy stopped and asked if my pole was heavy last wk, after replying 'no mate i can hold it in one hand' He then started lecturing me on how carbon fibre is made and why it was first created and how this new graphine carbon is going to take over the world.
Turns out he was an ex university lecturer on the subject!

He must of seen me coming or something.
He bored me to death for twenty minutes, then set about on his way up the canal to find his next victim.
Think i'll keep my hood up this weekend so he doesn't recognise me, incase he forgot to tell me something more boring last week.

He He , I would have found that interesting Lewis

Take a book

Yeah, sorry about that. Now i know what you look like i'll jog on and educate someone else.

2pound will win the match! Just hope there is some fanny in the pub when I pack up at 12, have me Sunday lunch and watch the rugby!

Queenside the angling trust have there own set of scales kilos and will be using them
You think the people of Loughborough are bad the other week at burton a bloke asked me if I would like to buy a drizzle naan cake :-?whats that i said
It goes well with curry I said
He then looked at me and said its wasted on you mate and walked off

Canal is getting clearer by the day boats have been moving all week one or two are upset by the way one or two anglers have spoke to them and have promised to reverse and speak to the relevant anglers
There are no boats at the minute on the canal apart from h/plant hire signs have been put up about the dog crap on glebe street and the dog ward will be cleaning it up hopefully not Sunday

2lb in the first hour more like

Ache not sure if it was you talking to Lewis or it was perhaps Scotty on the next peg

So come sunday we will have boats reversing up and down the cut so boaters can talk to anglers, yeh right o !!!!!!!

Let's raffle the semi places off so we can stop at home! What ya reckon?
