No, no, no. Try ''Has everyone lost their keyboards, you worthless, boss-eyed, mouth-breathing faggots?'' ''You lot wouldn't know a decent fly if it leapt out the bog and bit you on the ****.''

Might not win you any friends, like, but it'll get the viewing figures up and get some response going

Nope, just playing with my Play-Doh hair salon too.

Quirky little number.

Worth a throw mate, you never know.
I have said many times that I would give my house to someone who ties a fly that WONT catch a fish.
Did Mr Patterson in FFFT not offer up a fly with thin legs in the same manner as yours???
That would be my only suggestion, thinner legs for me.

All the best,
Graham

Stop moaning Al and get on with your homework now its not that I didn't want to say something but i havn't seen anything quite like this since toxic evo last hit the boards so its very cutting edge and difficult for me to critique but it has a certain something. The back is obviously polythene but what are the whirly orange things made of, I think if you could reduce the thckness of those quite a bit you could have something that might create more interesting movement while in the water.

I have just made another one but this time used a cree hackle for the legs and added a golden pheasant filoplume for a tail and used white flexi floss for antennae.

Just need to wait on my dad bringing my camera back from his office tonight.
