      Surely getting a bit chilly for floating baits this time of year ?

      Just easing into what I think is going to be a long carp day, carp drive, and some very carpy thoughts on my first attempts at doing a bit of work. Carp all round so far.

          We carry a potty in the back of the car for those kind of emergencies.

          I guess Mothercare don't sell them designed for the lizard physique, though.

              was too err "celebratory" this weekend and so wasnt in a good enough state to get the flight down as usual last night..

              decided to get the early train this morning.. 5:08 train, change at Birmingham.. didnt get full english just a bacon butty ("full english is served after Birmingham, sir" ), swapped onto virgin "all your get is a microwaved butty and some apple slices" voyager, arrived 30 mins late..

              now i feel sleepy, hungover and my liver aches but it's monday so 5 days before a rest...

                Woke up this morning to find one of the pipes in the boiler cupboard in the kitchen had sprung a leak. Water all over the worktop and soaked into the cupboard door making the door swell and warp and the veener peel off.

                  £45 or thereabouts for Monday to Friday.

                  You can get cheaper if you go for off-airport parking, but I'm usually in a rush so park there and then walk to the terminal (since it's quicker most days than waiting for the bus).

                    Would that help it burn if you then "dropped" a match nearby?
