    Athiest, this was a good nights work, we have vanquished the women without breaking sweat and reclaimed our thread. The stars are in heaven and all is right with the world, hopefully! So whats on the agenda for tomorrow? See you can argue about 500lb Mako sharks, but mention tea or lipstick and all hell breaks out.

    I keep trying to get out for a fish, but a combination of weather & baby are conspiring to keep me home. I'm sick at hearing what people are catching - we're having a peculiar winter down here where the fish haven't gone away because winter forgot to arrive this year. Friend of mine caught a 40kg kingfish at my spot last week.

    His funeral's on Tuesday.
    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    I know exactly where you are coming from, I hope you made it look like an accident! As a matter of interest when Global warming strikes, will New Zealand go down before Scotland?

    Actually, you will want to move here. I believe that the Gulf Stream is going to dissipate and Scotland will become one big glacier, while the warmer South Pacific will turn Auckland into a tropical paradise. We love global warming!

    What, a glacier again? We will get through it as we have through the ages, freezing our nuts off is part of our psyche. When it comes to the worst just remember your pal Jocky and his extended family, three hundred tickets to Auckland should just about cover it.

    I knew it, I have had this terrible foreboding all night. Nightshade you are deadly. Right if you give me your address I will send down a few quid, but for God's sake keep it quiet! You have been a witness to a few male atrocities, personally I can forgive you, but I am not so sure about Athiest. These Antipodians are an unforgiving lot. Go while the going is good. Tomorrow I shall be mostly eating humble pie.

    predrelemick, you have sneaked in under the radar again. I can safely say that I speak for the whole nation of Scotland and its 5 million inhabitants, by pointing out we all hate the bloody stuff. Burns has got a lot to answer for.

    Well, obviously not here, but its distinctive leaf blends that make the tea "Irish". We are connoisseurs of Tea... which is only to be expected from being the country with the highest tea drinking % (per capita basis) in the world. It is after all the answer to everything.

    Niamh, I never fully recognised the significance of tea to the western world until now. I dont suppose you can give me the ratios for guiness in the Emerald Isle, that may throw up some interesting statistics.

    Last winter we got snowed in. By day 5 , It was a Scott of the Antartica scenario in our kitchen. the wife thought I should dig a way out for the quad bike, We were running out of supplies.

    Vegetables, -"not to worry open a tin of beans"
    Milk,- "meh we 'll use powdered."
    Coal,- "we can chop up some old fence posts."
    Sugar,- "there's always treacle."
    Tea, " where's me shovel! I'm going out, I may be some time."(I was, about 3 hours)

    Ahem!

    I would just like to draw the gentlemen's attention to the link in my signature.

    I have put my head forth for shaving for charity and it seems to me that some of the esteemed members ought to stump up a dollar or pound to assist the cause.

    I'll even send you a lock of hair!
