Thumbs down Pile of sh!te...

These flees didn't work so well at the Melvin Open this year

Maybe it wasn't the flees anyway, more and likely the probelm was at the other end of the rod! Too much of Gilroys amber nectar

I propose no drink at Rutland

Na Chunky,

The problem on melvin this year was more the engine breaking down before the first drift!!
As for drinking at rutland, delayed strike tactics always work, just a pity we will miss the yard of ale expert!!

Hi Dabhoy,

The picture is actually of a hunch back variant:

tail: gold crest
body: picric seals fur
body hackle: picric and picric red game
wing: orange deerhair.
throat: fiery brown grouse
rib; red wire

The original hunchback has a collar of picric blue jay.

Tightlines,
Saracen

Right enough mate, you were seen necking a few of Micky's amber nectars the night before the final. I suppose your onto something. However the winner was in gilroys until the wee small hours. But he was on the Vodkeeeessss.

So I therefore would like like to amend your proposal. No Gilroy's amber nectar at Rutland, just cider, english beer and vodkeeeeeees. with maybe the odd glass of single malt & ice.
