The bearings will be worn out before the fatties shed an ounce. The exercise myth can't compete with people shovelling industrial quantities of carbohydrates down their gullet.

Thanks Doc, I have all the carbon kit too plus bait runners, optonics, etc etc but there’s something about getting back to basics and fishing the way they used toNiceIt was all carbon fibre and ABU 506s for me as did a lot of match fishing when younger, but haven't for years.
Got a mate suggesting I get back into it with him, but more specimen hunting - reckon I'll take him up on that.
That looks a lovely way to spend an afternoon!

Get back in there Doc it’s a great way to spend time in the Countryside

Does Drinking Alcohol Make You Gain Weight?
Alcohol may make you gain weight if you drink heavily, or more than three to four drinks daily. Learn how alcohol causes weight gain.
It screws your metabolism and makes you snack happy before you add mixers into the equation. You won't find booze on a diet sheet! Empty calories!

I totally get that. Wouldn't be tempted by getting back into match fishing - too hectic - but camping for a couple of days after something big and chilling by a nice lake is definitely on the cards

Trailer for the film I did some 'extra' work on has come out, looks not bad actually.
Five days work and netted about thirteen hundred quid (one shoot went into good friday so double bubble)
And although I had to have a haircut, you get paid thirty odd quid for them to take scissors to tonsure

My NDA that I'm under ect ect....
Seriously, we had to sign an NDA!
It was a shitload of fun if you like seeing under the bonnet of 'how shit is done', I'd def do another big feature. Got offers of a driving job in Town but it coincided with a train strike so, fuck that and a month or so ago there was a job that was in Kettering that was consecutive days but the travel/accom killed the 'bunce' factor. Not a bad 'paid hobby' tho!
You could have met myself, Scrappy & possibly other forum members whilst in Kettering.
Or is that part of the reason why you declined the job?

I used to do 'publicity' photos for a guy in Kilmarnock who did 'extra' work when I was in graphic design. He would come to me with photos and asked me to Photoshop in an M16, Kalashnikov or whatever he wanted to finish the 'image' in his Portfolio shots or edit him into other photos that he thought would look good. I don't know how he got the work as he would be cast as things like Squaddie, or Armed Response Unit officer etc. and the guy was over sixty, knock kneed and so skelly (cross eyed) that his right eye was looking over your left shoulder and the left over your right.

Something that I managed to engineer on my recent travels was introducing a new friend to some old friends.
By new, I mean friend for @17 years; by old, 40+ years.
Great that as expected they all got on like they'd known each other forever
I like it when that happens.

Out today on GS, I see a very well-driven Volvo on the country roads.
As I approach I can tell it's too old to be plod so follow it for a bit until safe to overtake.
When I do, I look over and see a handsome woman who must have been 75 at least - driving fast and skilled!

Well I was on Hitchcocks looking for a replacement carburettor manifold as I had discovered that mine had a wee split in it and, while cruising the aisles, I discovered that they have brand new examples of the fibreglass seat unit that was made to go along with the Watsonian Sportsman cafe racer tanks. Not cheap at a little north of £200 but I decided to treat myself as the chances are that I'd never find another one cheaper.
