& I don't want to hear that both bands have wound up on the dole in Telford like the lead singer of Dexies midnight runners ! :D
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 ; )

No Armageddon, then !
So much for the Mayans prediction of the end of the world then !
I've read somewhere online an article in the daily mail, regarding the said prediction was false by a German scholar & the actual prediction was for something else to happen in 2012, but what it was that is going to happen in 2012, hasn't been translated & I cannot find the said article.
well nothing happening in the fishing department yet here, because I've been work, work, work, funny thing there is, you just don't realise how wrapped up in work you can get, that time flies, but saying that, this year has gone pretty damn fast has I've mentioned in previous blog posts, so before the older generation think it is them, no believe me time is really flying this year!.
Now mentioning Armageddon, I love this song, by John Denver, called: Leaving on a jet plane......
There is a true story to the above song about John Denver getting killed in a plane crash, bit of de ja vue there.

Last Month Of 2012.
This morning I woke to the temperature of minus 4 & it's white over with a good ground frost, yesterday it were minus 3 but by 11.00am the frost had thawed, somehow I don't think it will today.
Re: Operation Arsehole update, it seems since I mentioned in the previous blog post about naming & shaming the local tow rags, (with addresses); the Police in the area have had a major purging operation on these low life scumbags, three of which are serving time in Glen Parva for Christmas, shame on them, the others however have mysteriously disappeared ! With no trace & the good thing is things have rapidly quietened down in the area.
So I've got a little bit of time on my hands, whilst waiting for a customers part, to finish off a job & I've decided to update the blog in the process of playing for time.
Last year we had the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year, this year we've just had yesterday the 12th day of the 12th month of the 12th year, at least we cannot have the 13th day of the (13th month) of the 13th year next year!.
Also another thing remembrance day was without any interruptions from the Muslim fraternity a quiet day, only because the big noises of the right wing groups had threatened the Muslim council of Great Britain, would be held firmly responseable for any poppy burning & chanting of British soldiers burning in hell.
Moving on, I've been, in my spare time digging out some photographs of the past & one particular photo came out in the bunch of pics reminding myself of my old German Shepherd Dog, Jessie, now unfortunately I had to have Jessie put down a few years ago because whilst she were going upstairs she had an heart attack & fell down the stairs rupturing her splean, which had then swollen out into her stomach.
But before that had happened over the years that dog was like my guardian angel, if I were in the garden, she had to be there & fishing, she loved going down the river & ponds, every Sunday morning at around 7.00am almost like clock work, every week she used to wake me up to take her for a walk down the river, that dog knew what day of the week it was.
Now Jessie also got into this habit of digging holes in the back garden, we are not talking small holes here, neither, anyway eventually I managed to stop her from doing this, by keeping her occupied with other things to wear her out, typical German Shepherd, but she was a great dog, & also the burglars steered clear of my house too, she let them know she was there.
One night this idiot broke in the house & he only managed to climb through the window, it were about 2oclock in the morning but Jessie had him there pinned to the sink unit below the window he had got through & she wouldn't let go, she were growling & snarling whilst holding this burglar there who were kicking & screaming at her, but she held him there, my dad at the time could not get her off of him, even when the police turned up that dog held him there, I eventually managed to get her to let go, even the police were dubious of her, I had to grab hold of her by the top & bottom of her mouth to make her let go & she drew blood on the tow rag who never came anywhere near since.
What a dog she were & here is a picture of her when she were about 5 years old stalking rabbits down the riverside tow path coming out of Stoke woods heading towards Radcliffe bend.
I haven't had a dog since Jessie but I'm now contemplating having another German Shepherd very soon.
I always remember that one particular day I'd just got in from work at 14.30pm & I asked where the dog were because she used to wait at the front door for me coming home, but she were outside in the back garden & when I went to see her in the garden, she got hold of this fuck off great big black rat almost have the size of an adult cat & she were ragging it all over the garden & flinging it against the shed at first the rat was squealing & Jessie was growling & then I saw her fling it several feet up into the air, then it came down & landed hard on it's back which must of broke it because I heard it snap when it hit the ground with a big thud, killed it out right, eventually when I managed to make her let go, so I could dispose of the rat, there were blood all over the shed & at the time we didn't have a dryer we used the washing line & all these white sheets on the washing line all had streaks of rats blood all over them I were dreading telling the person that had just not a few hours before washed them.
We never used to have any problems with the cats either, even they knew to steer clear, but thats a dogs life, eh?.
Right it's time to go find out where my customers part has got to.

Operation Arsehole, Update.
You remember awhile back I blogged about one of the local tow rags causing trouble, it were back in the summer of 2011, about June time without going through the archives to be precise, well anyway the update.
First the picture from Operation Arsehole.
Now the outcome.
Bit lenient, don't you think? for someone who was using an off road bike on the Queens highway! With no road tax or a valid MOT & the offences in the above scanned document, whilst the countries motorists get penalised for lesser offences, such as faulty brake & headlight bulbs which are given an on the spot £30.00 fine & made to return to the nearest police station within 5 days of being stopped to prove they have had the defects rectified!
However it's a result, not a good result but it's sorted.
After the court case I made a complaint to the local authority, regarding the situation with Mccaffrey, they then made plans to evict, but Mccaffrey moved before the local authority got the chance.
Since the incident, things quietened down in the area for awhile, until the rest of Mccaffrey's cronies kicked up in gangs, I'll blog about them later with more details, to name & shame, Some of them are about 10 years old & do alot of running errands for Mccaffrey & other drug dealers & don't worry their addresses will be published too, no stones left unturned here.
Operation Arsehole is now in full swing with a zero tolerance policy & people such as myself have had enough of the local hooligans & this Political Correctness mumbo jumbo of you can't do this!, you can't do that! myopia from the law.
Signing off now till the next blogpost.

Garden update2.
Now summers over I've got some sorting out to do in the garden, recently I've been rebuilding my garden shed with pallet wood, because the old timber had seen better days, so that has taken up all of my spare time.
I've had some great crops considering it's been an awkward year weather wise & it's been along time since I'd used the back garden to grow veg in.
Got some nice tomatoes, some are still ripening & the other week when I got the rest of my radishes out, I got some really nice white radishes, (see picture below).
Very tasty they are, also got some nice leeks coming through & the rest of the garden needs weeding out & digging over, but the ground is wet through, to wet to rotorvate otherwise I'd be on the case now.
Still gathering my materials for the new greenhouse, which is next on the agenda for next years tomatoes, man this year has gone fast.
Had some snow this morning when I got up at 08.30, brrrrr it were chilly, soon melted though.

Other stuff & things.....
Yesterday for the first time ever I had an interesting video chat with a friend from America on Skype & this morning I received a phone call from another friend asking me to be his best man at his wedding next year, of cause I accepted.
I've never been a best man at a wedding before so this'll be an interesting task to perform & yes it's going to be a whistle n flute job. warts & all LOL. No I won't let my friend down because I'm the only one he can trust to do the job of best man & also he has been a damn good friend over the years & a fishing buddy too. OK I've got plenty of time to prepare the best mans speech for the big day which is going to be in December next year, so other than the speech to prepare I'll have to get in touch with my friends brother regarding stag night plans I cannot wait :D, now don't get me wrong weddings ain't my thing but, when it comes to friends & family you've gotta support them after all you may require their help someday !.
Onwards & upwards as they say, works been busy for me again with plenty of services, clutches & engine reconditioning work to occupy my time & also the back garden is doing well, getting plenty of radishes, had my second crop of spuds out last week which made some excellent potato wedges.
Still waiting on my tomatoes ripening OK they were planted later than everybody Else's & they are outside.
Just need to do a bit weeding & sort out the lettuces, got some gorgeous leeks coming through as well & next I'm contemplating planting a third crop of potatoes which I'll get for November.
So everything is nearly up to date in the garden & if ? & when it eventually stops raining I'll get around to building a cold frame & greenhouse.
Plans ? well I need to get some fishing done to get away from it all for a bit after everything else has acquired my invaluable time because I've only been once this season & thats not like me.
This last bank holiday weekend I've been finishing of plastering my grandmothers kitchen & now it just needs painting so after that I'm gonna get my ass out on the river bank sharpish.

Loverly sunshine again
Had some more radishes from the garden this afternoon & we've finally finished all the potatoes from the first crop.
What I like about growing my own veg is how tasty it is & also you know how fresh it is not like the stuff you buy from the supermarkets which could be nearly a month old by the time you've bought it & get to use it, you'd be surprised.
Anyway just had a nice salad; cheese & tomato with sliced smoked ham, spring onions, lettuce, cucumber & some of my radishes very tasty indeed. Now I'm gonna go wash it down with some Belgian beer & brown ale, I've got Chimay & La Chouffe @ 6, 7 & 8% trust me you won't drink many of those before you'd end up on yer back snoring for the night. Right off to water the garden again first before I get a taste for the booze.

Garden update...
Been busy in the garden again, got my first crop of onions out & some radishes (French breakfast) & very tasty they are, getting some nice tomatoes coming through but still having problems with blight which means I'm having to keep removing leaves other than that they are OK.
My leeks are also doing well now I've pulled out the weeds from in between them & the second crop of potatoes are coming on great too.
I've even managed to build a storage box for my garden equipment. Next job is to build a cold frame & then a greenhouse (materials pending).
So yeah everythings going great at the moment, just gonna go & finish off tying back my tomatoes up their canes before watering.
Also I've got some lettuces coming through nicely, so I'll have to go get some slug pellets asap before the vast slug & snail population in my garden prep themselves for a big feast the little blighters. Right off to finish off this afternoons bit of gardening.
