Watched Soccer Aid 2012, last night...

It were a good game, England beat the Rest Of The World 3-1, great to see celebrities having a laugh to, the likes of Paddy McGuiness &  Teddy Sherringham having it in for Gordon Ramsey & co all for charity, they managed to raise 4 million smackers, nice 1 & this was some goal to score....

Unbelievable.....

If that's the case then I'll sue Maradona for his hand of god that cost England a World Cup, lets see if he can get outta that 1, the cheatin bastard.

Another song....

Well Done Guys...

On a great job rescuing all those fish trapped in that flood plain after the water returned back to the river, could of been worse had it not been for the Environment Agency who attended the scene & put the fish back in the river.

Now that puts things into perspective, I'll never moan about the price of my fishing licence again.

Well, it might aswell rain until September....

Been a wet month so far with all this rain, all because someone forecast a drought & hosepipe ban, pah somebody must've been having a giraffe somewhere, still it's done the world of good in the garden at the very least & there is only 1 more month to go before the glorious 16th comes around again, I've almost completed sorting out my gear ready for the new season in my spare time, just the rod holdall to sort out next & make sure my wheels on the good old trolley are intact.
Thinking whether to stick with previous tactics bait-wise or try out Richworth's new range, ( Xtracta barbel ) sounds a good bait so far from what I've heard of from the carp lads, but like everything else it's worth a trial of my own, if it works then great stuff if not then revert back to previous baits that did.
The one problem I've come across with my fishing over the years has been every time you get used to a new piece of tackle or bait that's doing the business for you, either the manufacturers of tackle or bait go & discontinue the product, it's damned annoying but that's the way things are.

Been back on the landscaping in between work on the spanners, still lots of work out there to be had & even managed to get down the river for a walk with my brothers dog for change, rivers up it's banks & coloured up nicely, if it manages to stay this way for the start of the new season we could been in for some great sport.
Not long now & it'll be time for Euro 2012 & the olympics too.

Right back to the landscaping, got some tree felling to do & some hedges to trim now that it ain't raining so much (-_-).
