Was going through town the other day and got the hankering for some curry goat so picked up enough to cook tonight and have some in the freezer for another time.

Curry goat with coconut rice yum

Repair Shop Favourites tonight (or most nights).
Every time they come to the reveal I have to take off my glasses because something always manages to "get in my eye".

Went coarse fishing for the first time in 25 plus years on Saturday
3 nice carp, a 10lb 3oz one first, followed by one bang on 10 lbs
Finished off with a new PBjust short of 17lb
Tight lines

That's interesting - where is the Wethers going in Farnham SILH? My mother will be ecstatic, as she loves a Wethers.
I wonder if these are the same people that were up in arms when Poundland came to Farnham?

The Slug & Lettuce on Woolmead is closing and W moving into that premises. Farnham's Iceland was right opposite the S&L in the Woolmead before the 1970s Woolmead was knocked down a few years ago. It hasn't reopened elsewhere in town - but we got a town centre Lidi.

Is there no dress code for this kind of thing!

 

[Lord Tyrion]

@PhilTheFragger in true Bob and Paul fashion did you say 'and away' when you put the fish back in the water?

Yes , I did, couple of the other Anglers on the lake came to see the fish and “And Away” was said in unison
Yeah I know

Rude, I’ll have you know I won the “Best Dressed Angler” award 1995

And don't you just carp on about it!

 

[Hobbit]

He’s only fishing for compliments

Serious question - does holding them for a while let them get their "breath" back??

 

[Imurg]

Well you're no good at golf after 2.5 days without playing so it at least proves golf is harder than fishing....

They can sometimes be well knackered after a long fight, so You always wait until they swim away under their own steam
If you let go and they sink, then it’s problematic to retrieve them

Yessss Fragger! Top effort mate! Going to keep it up now?

 

[Bdill93]

Arrived to AVFC very early last night with my mate so we walked around the local area for some food and cheaper drinks -

Found a cracking little chippy which does a very very good donner meat and chips for £3.50 - with possibly the nicest chilli sauce ive ever had.

That'll be frequented most home games now I imagine!!

Makes sense. Next question...why not wind?!

My Mrs and I commented that that seemed likely…a good thing
