Not enough decent tipple no <whistle>

Most wine in France is pretty decent Libby ... they tend to export the ****ty stuff <whistle> ... we are in the Gaillac region which is one of the major wine producing regions ... vineyards all over the place ... great value for money and incredible amount of choice ... <cheers>
 
Greeting's all, just got back from a 4 day break at Primrose Valley with my daughter after putting 24/7 care in for the other one. Had a great time, this little one sure needed a break, done the water slides, twisters, trikes, fishing and the whole shaboo....... happy times..
Sounds like a nice break fella, ain't been fishing for ages I'm **** and have no clue what I'm doing but I like doing it still<laugh>

Top stuff Joe, glad you both had a cracking time <ok>
 
Just remember the hook and weight go into the water, not the rod or you..<ok>
Probs where I been going wrong then <laugh>

I go with the old man if anyone, he's a big fishing guy, he has a brother in the isle of man who has a small boat we would go out on when over there or just rod it off peel pier (rod it like I know the phrases<whistle>) mainly makrel wed get on the boat.

Also fished down ramsgate way when I lived down there for a few months and remember catching a few plaice? (flat fish) the old man still has to put my bait on for me as I'm just a city lad, I just fish and smoke weed, it's very relaxing tbh<laugh> not for him as much:bandit:

That really wouldn't be a bad way of life tbh mate. I've done City life to death.
 
That's ****ty bro I'm sorry to hear that :emoticon-0148-yes:
It was the shock of it . We thought that the new kitchen floor ( Tiles ) had caused him to struggle , he went roaring in . Instead of getting stuck on carpet , went bouncing off things .

Then Libby ( kitten ) turned up and started chasing him , we assumed she was making matter worse .

Took him to the vets this morning , next to no muscle left in either rear leg ….

The vets did all sorts of testes , inc blood . NOTHING .

Suggested seeing a neuorological specialist .

Money no matter ( he was insured ) .

But the thought of putting the poor little thing through Sedation , mri scans etc , he did not need that **** .

So I made the decision to say goodbye to him while he was Physically impaired , but mentally content .

I KNOW I have done the right thing for him .

Heartache to follow , then 12 1/2 years of memories :)
