McT, fishing is daft - and shouldn't be called a sport, as it is in no way 'sporting'. It's cruel and unecessary. You should put your tackle to better use!

And I don't care what anybody says - I think fishing stinks, fish feel pain you know...

You should remember that next time you chose to put a hook in a living creatures mouth, just for the hell of it!

phew! That's a load off...

Spendi would feel pain, if you pulled out his nose hair or his fingernails...

But you'd still do it, wouldn't you? Rolling Eyes


...for my usual fee.

Sometimes.

It depends on the hotel.

I need a balcony with wide open French windows at which soft western breezes gently sway the curtains overlooking a park in which fallow deer are grazing and pale pinky-purply counterpanes with lace edgings on the furniture and polished solid wood floors and fluffy pillows and smelly sticks and the last orange rays of the summer sun glowing on the burnished oak four-poster and the slow movement of Mahler's Fifth at full volume and the temperature close to 78 degrees Farenheit (just short of 30C for the continentals) so that I become oblivious of my surroundings and even what I am doing.

A pissed up Civil Servant would be a bonus.

Mornin' everyone!

Santa came prematurely this morning - I'm off to get some sparkly fishnets!

What can I say? I am woman - shopping makes me happy.

I'm sitting here laughing my arse off. Just got done getting updated on Lord Ellpus' carp thread and then read Smorg's announcement about going out for some fish nuts. This must mean it is time for bed. G'nite y'all. Have a warm cup o' tea before heading out to go nut picking.

Nope, not me McT.

Mind you, I'm off now 'til the 28th and have just got home, so I might be opening the odd beer or two in the next half hour.

Bleedin' freezing out there and the dog wants a walk, so the beer may have to wait a short while.

I reckon they're all out shopping!

Me neither. Although for some reason my dear Nana did ask me if I was drunk when I spoke to her on the phone an hour ago.

Okay, I know what "having a piss" means, but "on the piss" ... does that mean visiting the local pub?

Exackerly, Tico.

I'm going out on the piss tomorrow night, if I can find my way to the pub in all this fog.

Hi DP!

Merry Christmas everyone.

Ah ... so one can go out on the piss, take the piss, then have a piss?

Gotcha.


Merry X-mas to everyone in the UK (and Walter).

not necessarily

alcohol may be consumed on or off the premises to be "on the piss"

but excellent guess tico

not to be confused with "I am really pissed"

AM/UK versions completely different.

happy Christmas to you and anyone else who reads this Very Happy

Pissiamus, as the old Romans said, et in dulce jubilo.

Happy holidays!

You can visit the local without being on the piss. If you visit five, and have a couple in each, then you may truly be said to be on the piss.
