stlucifer Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 What are Jaffa cakes , biscuits or cakes ? The generally accepted rule is, A cake starts of soft and becomes hard when stale. A biscuit starts of hard and becomes soft when stale. Some on here seem to become hard whenever Saints fail on the park and that really takes the biscuit!

iTony Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I quit fishing at the age of 9. Got a hook stuck in my thumb , while at the Barrhead dams. Had to go to R.A.I. to get it cut out. Never again. Still get scary flashbacks while devouring a fish supper. You buy fish suppers? I'd have thought a man of your austerity would not be purchasing such expensive food items?

Never again. Still get scary flashbacks while devouring a fish supper. In fishing circles it was always believed that if a barbed hook got stuck in any part ( !?) of your body, in hospital before they could get it out they had to push it all the way through until the barb emerged and then they cut the barb off and extracted the rest of the hook. Never happened to me luckily, but was that your problem Shull? I was never sure if that was an old wives tale or fact. Glad you can still force down your Haddie supper.

thomsons dropped it Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 One of my favourite pike stories arose when a close pal of mine went fishing for the first time ever at Lochwinnoch. He was about twelve at the time. With his very first cast he hooked a pike and the violence of the tugging on the line frightened the crap out of him so much that he ran like hell. Luckily he didn't let go of the rod so the pike ended up about a hundred yards inside a field when Andy finally stopped! That was Andy Schoffield a good Bud who tragically left us far too early at the age of 50. The pike was about six pounds, a good fish-- but covered in mud. Hi guys....home again for three weeks Vodka and Coke in hand plus on the B and W Army....What's not to like ????? I digress... Lochwinnoch was an awesome place to fish,used to get the bus to Howwood,walk down to the River and fish all the way up to the Dam...cracking day out for a young 'un. Never new there was Roach in both the river and the Dam until wandering up there once and met a guy who had all the full Match fishing rig and had a keep net full of Roach. First time I had ever seen ground baiting other than on the telly. And as for jags.....I'm a confirmed Jessie...bloody well hate them.

Caught a few of each, no great size and always put them back. Usually ate my trout. Been salmon fishing a few times on good rivers (somebody else was paying) but never caught a thing. Unfortunately my lady wife has caught salmon and boy does she love to mention it. How can you tell a coarse fisherman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No computer records back then so I always said I didn't need one but the bloody masochistic nurses never believed me. Having said that, a friend of mine got a bad cut on his leg playing on one of the pitches 'over the Moss' at the Racecourse. Guys of a certain age will know what I mean. Livvy (Livingstone) Crawford was his name and he died age 16. From a lovely family and as far as I know his twin brother Willie still lives around Paisley. After that I didn't scream just as much when the big needle got branded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickMcD Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Stoopit ! Got mine on Tuesday Easy I wasn't the least bit nervous. Honest. A gorgeous young blond (female) doctor lead me into her office, took my blood pressure, stabbed me in the arm and had me back out of her wee room in about ninety seconds flat. Didn't feel a thing apart from a tinge of disappointment that I didn't get a chance to ask her out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Lived in Falside Rd from 1956 from the age of 1 till I got married at 22. My dad (and mother) worked in Brown & Polson which is how he got the house. Use to fish at Stanley dam and Lochwinnoch but gave it up when I was around 17 when I started . Being crap and catching very little was an other good reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
