God I just love attracting attention. Or so some would have you believe!.
It's all about me, What I get up to, my fishing, the gear I use for my fishing, also other stuff from time to time & anything or everything else that comes & goes along in between ; )

So here's a few of my old favourites, in no specific order...

Here it is then, post number 100...
OK in a couple of previous blog posts, I'd wrote about how boring our TV programmes had become & how the adverts were better than most of the programmes, well yeah they are, but there are still some good programmes on TV worth watching like channel 4's Balls of Steel, which has got me hooked, my three favourites in the comedy show are the pain men (Pritchard & Pancho), these two have me in stitches most of the time, also Negs urban sports, this guy is absolutely crazy & then there is the annoying devil, that guy is absolutely bonkers with some of the stunts & pranks he pulls.
If you've not watched this show, believe me your missing out big time, forget Jackass, that is crap compared to Balls of Steel, if it weren't for the fact that YouTube has put a downloading block on the channel 4 'youtube channel' I'd be doing a series of video blogging from the complete previous & to date series of the Balls of Steel programmes, but because at the moment I cannot do that, I'll just have to supply you with the link.
But never the less at some point in time I shall happen upon the necessary software, to be able to do a bit of video blogging of the show, so in the mean time here is that link.
Then just recently, well & also from a few months back in time a channel called Quest which is part of the Discovery channel has aired some fishing programmes, alright they maybe repeats but to me they have been worth watching, mainly Matt Hayes Total fishing & the greater rod race, so at least I've got a little bit of value for money out of my TV licence, not that I'm complaining.
Edit: Slight adjustment, to make, balls to the other side, they ain't gonna beat me.
OK, I'll have to end this one here I'm afraid as there is lots to do in so little time.

Nearly a century of posts..
Ninety nine blog posts later, just shows how much time has past since I first decided to jump in the deep end & have a go at blogging, suppose you just get out of these things what you put in, ok I'm no proffessional writer, don't intend to be neither but this blog was just men't to be a past time/diary of what has happened in the past with other stuff & basically the up's & downs of my fishing in general & music I listen to but ok it's made a few friends along the way, not so many enemies & one or two who have decided to jump around criticising, if they don't like it don't look in is the simple answer to that, but no I've so far enjoyed doing the old blogging & who knows what the future holds, we shall just have to wait & see, after all these things take time to build.
Next up blog post No.100.

Time certainly does fly....
The dreaded work commitments have put paid to the canal fishing, so it's now a case of wait until the glorious 16th of June for the new river season, yes there is only one last month to go & then the river banks will be loaded out with the fair weather brigade, bombarding each & every swim that is accessable with bait day & night until they become bored with blanking.
Then it all becomes a formallity of how many barbel, chub & those illusive Trent carp all line up waiting to get caught, still you can only but dream on about it eh?.
Again I've not posted for a short while on the blog, for the simple reason of not enough hours in one day with work & everything else in between, taking up most of my time, you know the thing that annoys me most is that without thought or consideration, everybody always want their stuff sorting out like right now sort of thing & they just do not realise how much of my own jobs & stuff I have to also get sorted in such a short space in time.
Enough about the old dreaded work & stuff, woke up this morning to some sad news, an old life long friend of the family passed away, during the early hours so I've another dreaded funeral to attend some time next week.
I dislike funerals, I've been to a few & the reason why I dislike them is when people become so damn selfish because they've lost one of their parents & take it upon themselves to assume that that particular time in life revolves just around themselves only & that nobody else should be included at all, ok lots of dissions have to be made especially where there is no will involved, but at a time in life like that people always tend to show another side of themselves, it's all silly really but these things happen, yet there have been other funerals I've attended where folks are so much more appriecative of the turn out on the day of family & friends who attend the funeral.
Ok that's enough about funerals an all, saying that I cannot stand weddings either, considering I've a catholic family, but that is the way I feel especially when these weddings don't last very long, seems a common thing these days, but not going into specific details & that's enough about weddings aswell.
One thing I have not got round to yet for this year is an holiday, but I'm working on it, lifes for living so enjoy it whilst you still can.
Been working on a few LGV's recently, even they're has hi-tec has cars these days with ECU's & service lights to reset, some vehicles now have a new bolt/screw fitting on them called torx plus which is a five lobe version of the original six lobe torx fittings.
It's a way manufactorors get around stopping the back street garages & diy enthusiasts from earning a bit of work, so that all the main dealership/franchises get the monopoly in the trade, but there are ways around that, lets just say I've a few friends within the tool making industry, whom can supply the requirements.
Actually these torx plus fittings aren't quite that new, they've been fitted to all vehicles after 1999 so they're a little over 11/12 years old now, so they've been around a fair while then & are most commonly fitted to diesel fuel injection pumps, ECU's, seat belt anchors & also them plastic inspection panels underneath vehicles, what we call the under carrage or even better known as splash panels, also like the original torx fittings torx plus also have a tamper proof version aswell, all that just so a select few can gain the monopoly in the trade, I believe it's called jealousy, in other words, your not pinching my work, still there is nowt like a bit of friendly competition is there?.
Well that's it for this latest blog post as ever lots to do in so little time.
