It`s a little news story, that`s been turned into an urban myth mate. I`m telling you as an experienced fisherman and the father of a Carp fishing fanatic, that wild carp are every bit as hard to catch in the UK as Trout and Salmon. They`re naturally very wary, super fussy about what they eat...

Mate, I have no dog in this fight, but my lad is a carp fisherman and he spends hundreds if not thousands of pounds on carp gear, spends whole weekends fishing for them and if he catches one he`s had a good weekend. So based on this, I`d say that your average Eastern European lad, with his...

Went to see it last night and I agree with you,it was brilliant and the trailers really didn`t do it justice. Considering it was 2hrs 40mins long, there was no point in the film where I became bored and switched off. Dicaprio was his usual effortlessly brilliant self, with a terrific...

I speak to so many fellas, who are coming up to retirement age, who have made no plans whatsoever for all that time they`re going to have on their hands and the loss of identity and self worth they will fee on that first Monday morning of retirement. The absolute worst for not adjusting, are...

In one of my previous roles, I worked as a grief counsellor, mainly for the families of bereaved children, but also occasionally adults who`d died unexpectedly. I was always remember that one of the tutorials on the course I did, was about the many reasons men die younger women and one of the...

I`d have much rather they`d gone down with the battle for mankind, with the Aliens taking root on the planet and mankind fighting for it`s very survival as a species. Who knows, maybe this where it`ll eventually end up, as there`ll 100% be another series, due to the very good viewing figures...

Alien Earth. I can`t tell you how much I`ve been looking forward to it, which made the fact that it`s pretty poor all the worse. For something that is allegedly the most expensive tv series of all time ( $250 mil for eight episodes ) you`d have expected much much more. The writing is...

Along with Sinners, my two films of the year so far.

Gary Oldman was born to play Jackson Lamb. It`s the rarity that the TV series is every bit as good as the books.

Religion can do strange things to people tbh. I have a very good mate, who is a long standing Barrister, who works in family law in a chambers in London, one of her colleagues, who I`ve met on several occasions who is a top girl, is a British born Asian Muslim and she point blank refuses to...

I liked the ending too, as normally they bottle the endings, knowing that American audiences expect a happy ending. The ending of the film was a real bender and ambiguous, which I thought really finished the film off well. I never realised that this was King`s first ever novel that he wrote !

Went to see it last night, one of my films of the year. I thought the two leads, David Jonnson and Copper Hoffman were outstanding ( must be award nominees ) As you say, it was dark, brutal and bleak as fuck. What shocked me as much as the first kill, was the first lad who dropped his...

Watched it last night. Apparently there`s now over 30,000 lies / misrepresentations he`s told on air, since he started his second term and these were the most newsworthy. Some of it was very funny, as he`s just making stuff up to cover the fact that he`s an ignorant buffoon and trying to save...

Thanks 👍

Talking of gear, can you recommend a decent comp legit waterproof jacket, as my old faithful Aussie Grit 20,000 mm is on it`s way out. I`ve been looking at the Invov8 Stormshell V2, but the reviews are a bit mixed, but it will only be for racing and not training. I can`t afford £200 which some...

The weird thing with Inov8, is that they seem to mess around with all of their range, apart from the X Talon`s. You`d think that that if they had a particular shoe that was a consistent best seller, just like the X Talon`s, that they wouldn`t totally revamp it every 18mths or so ? I appreciate...

This is a very good analogy about all the stuff going on with the flags and anti immigration stuff going on in the UK at the moment. If you go into the desert and catch 100 red fire ants, as well as 100 black ants and put them in all a jar, at first nothing happens. However, if you violently...

I`ve get something called metarsaligia on the sole of one foot ( like a burning pain ) and saw a sports podiatrist for it, who was also an ultra trail runner. He swore by them and persuaded me to give them a go when it was the Challenger 3, so I long time I go ! Since then I`ve had at least...

I was around Bakewell and got caught in it. I can handle the rain, but it`s when it`s being driven into your face by the wind and you can`t see properly, that it becomes a bit stupid.

What was the weather like, as I was in the Peak District yesterday and it was pretty gnarly to say the least.
