Charlie The Tramp Returns Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 The Price Of Fish Do you ever think that life might be passing you buy A friend of mine has not bought Fish for the past 10 years. Once a week in all weathers he stands at the end of Southend on Sea`s Pier catching his own, surpluses are frozen for future meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By adding up the time spent waiting for a bite and calulating how much i would charge for those hours, i would hope to be catching sturgeon off south end pier. As it is I am paying about £150 a mackerel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funinhounslow Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 after reading , enjoying and contributing to a thread about the price of spuds ... i stared wondering if something is missing from my life. I mean i could be tucked up an cuddling but no.. I've thought this for a while. I don't watch tv but I seem to be getting addicted to Internet forums, mostly lurking, not posting. Reading about cars I'll never drive, cities I'll never visit, watches I'll never own and restaurants I'll never eat in. Then there's the time wasting guff of various "off topic" sub forums that I find ridiculously addictive. At least I'm not sitting in my pants at 3am playing poker or slot machines surrounded by dirty dishes... I've learned a lot (mainly from this forum) but I do sometimes wonder if the time I spend at places like this is ... unhealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashinmattress Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Just be happy that we can, sort of, eat clean fish in our waters. The Yanks are suffering from diseased and mutated fish, courtesy of BP. Gulf seafood deformities alarm scientists Fish with lesions, eyeless prawns, soft shelled or naked crabs, tons of dead porpoises, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammo Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Too much heavy metal being pumped into the sea by big oil to fancy fish right now to be honest. Anyway, who is the baddest? Abu Qatada v Anders Breivik. It's all the media are on about right now. Almost as if they want to catalyze your mind on which side of some potential future war you are on.

The truth is the Americans got their scientists to mutate the prawns with no eyes so they'd be easier to catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a week in all weathers he stands at the end of Southend on Sea`s Pier catching his own, surpluses are frozen for future meals. A few years ago I noticed East Europeans catching their own on an industrial scale on the River Thames, despite "No fishing" signs. Until I reported them. The wildlife in the local nature reserve recovered shortly afterwards too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagarde's Drift Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 welcome to your future, once you're in there is no way out Saddos have always been around, its just easier with cheap energy and technology. In the past he'd have been a spotter or collector. Nothing wrong with that, of course, unless one is unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantnrave Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 That is an interesting fact. The whole way we are processing and retrieving information is changing. Tests have shown that when presented with a question that people have known the answer to in the past but forgotten now, rather than try to recall that information or retrace what process lead them to learning it in the first place, they instead think of a phrase that can be entered into Google to get the result.
