A tale of three fool’s!
Thumbs down for “The Bully Boy” (fool No 1)!
No great surprise that the Ned walking in the footsteps of half wit Mr Kens, who uttered threats last week remains silent in a state of dormancy fearful of being exposed. You often find this with Muppets! I was able to trace the comment to the local area but that is as close as I can get. If anyone knows the identity of this moron please drop us a line and we will introduce him to our readership! From the comments received it is clear that anglers want these imbeciles out of angling pronto, which is great news for the future well being of angling. It is always distasteful to have to grub around in the very dregs of angling to confront these fools, but it is clear the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. So another fool exposed, the rout continues!
A discussion at the loch today prompted various views all deploring the fool’s attitude, but the collective opinion was that “you are nothing, a person of no worth unfit to be called an angler”! The quicker you are ousted out of angling the better, for the well being of the sport!
Photo 02 - Vintage St Marys permit 1956? Thanks Mark!
The club in days of old!
The photo above was sent in by Mark Cunningham one of our readers and shows a St Mary’s permit costing ten shillings in today’s money, fifty pence. The ticket was issued to Mark’s grandfather who used to visit the loch frequently to try and tempt the wily Trout contained therein. According to Mark his grandfather and his brother used to finish their work on a Friday get the tackle together and set off for the loch on their motor bikes and set up camp and fish right through to Sunday afternoon. They started these adventures just after the Second World War and when they both got married the wives used to come down on the pillion of the bikes along with the required provisions for the weekend. Mark remembers as a young lad coming to the club boathouse and seeing the hatchery in full swing!
From the ticket you will see that there is a section for the hire of a boatman. The club in those days was a somewhat exclusive old boys club for the well to do of the time; the loch keeper was also the boatman who in the fashion of a modern outboard engine would row the anglers to the particular area of the loch that they wanted to fish. The working class lads however were financially restricted to the bank with the occasional hire of a boat as a special treat! According to Pete Young our oldest member, it was very difficult to get membership of the club in those days.
A certain standing in society had to be demonstrated before membership was granted. Nowadays club membership is open to all irrespective of their social standing, the only criteria being the ability to demonstrate good character free of all Muppet tendencies and leanings towards thug like behaviour! Mark, thank you for this fascinating glimpse into the social history of the club! He also said how pleased he was that the club was now alive and facing up to the future! Mark thank you for your encouraging words!
If you are a past member of the club and have an interesting tale relating to the club please drop us a line! It is important that the social history of the club is recorded for our posterity.
Freezing temperatures!
With many of the smaller ponds in the area beginning to skin over with ice we are happy to state that there is no ice whatsoever on our lochs. St Mary’s skinned over for a day last year in the Baltic temperatures but in some parts the ice was so thin that it was not a deterrent to fishing. I’m told the last time the silent loch succumbed was in 1987. Many more freezing days needed before she once again bows to Mother Nature!
Photo 03 - Ivy pottery found in the loch margins.
Poison Ivy Pottery.
See the photo above of a piece of pottery I came across in the margins of the loch. I thought it an odd plant to be imprinted on pottery as it usually evokes feelings of doom gloom and death and this being the case I thought it might be Victorian as this era was renowned for its thanatoid subjects! See the link it could be 1950s, and its not poison Ivy but common Ivy! It’s still however very pleasing to the eye!
Photo 04 - My Prowla trace tube in great nick!
Greys Prowla Trace Tube, long term test.
I’ve had one of these for two years now and I am pleased to say that this is one fine product! It holds a dozen traces comfortably, and the plastic pins that hold the swivels are of robust construction with no breakages at all in two years. This is a first for me as every trace bin I have owned eventually failed because of pins snapping off invariably in cold weather when they became brittle! The foam is also very resilient with no chunks missing and its water absorbing qualities is minimal, water just running off. This is important as water held in the tube starts the corrosion process on your traces.
The central storage section is most useful for the odd float, weight, swivel or whatever you feel is required. The only modification I have needed to make is applying insulating tape around the edge of the compartment to make the lid a tighter fit. Now this is probably unnecessary if you do not store heavy weights in the compartment as I do! The outer casing is very tough as it needs to be as my tackle is treated harshly, this particular tube having been crushed twice and still it survives intact! Like the rest of this product the zip which seals the tube shut is a sturdy affair never once jamming. In summary I can heartily recommend this product as being practical, extremely tough and made with longevity in mind! Want one? Visit Fishers Direct

The wider world in my view!
An I pad 2, and a pair of Nazi’s!
I came across a bizarre idea in one of the national dailies last week. An Aberdeenshire council wants all pupils in a local primary school to be equipped with one of those I pad 2 devices to aid their learning to be paid for by their parents! The cost involved 450.00GBP or if that amount of money cannot be raised then they can be leased from the authority for 13.00GBP/month! Did you ever hear of such nonsense?
A school amply served by up to date computers, modern teaching aids and good teachers and they want parents severely oppressed by crushing, inept Con – dem policies to fork out their hard earned on a superfluous piece of technology! Undoubtedly some parents will not bat an eyelid at the prospect of shelling out such a sum but there will be others to whom such a sum will be completely unaffordable! Those children having to use leased machines being stigmatised and made separate from those whose parents have the capability to buy their machines outright!
Yet further evidence as if it was needed of the return to the two tier education system favouring those who can pay! An absolute disgrace! Egalitarianism and acumen are obviously not words in this Lib – dem council’s dictionary, shame on them!
A couple of Nazi’s!
Tory MP Aiden Burley (fool No 2) has been sacked as a parliamentary aide by Lord Snooty for attending a stag party where guests unbelievably in the cold light of day dressed up as SS officers and toasted the murderous Third Reich! Imbecile’s of the highest order, cretins with no cognisance of the horrors committed by the barbarous Bosch! Like Prince Harry (fool No 3), another upper class imbecile with too much money who enjoys wearing Nazi regalia, an ignoble group of upper class Noddy’s running rampant on the back of their excess monetary funds! The very worst trait found in humanity, where respect for the millions of people who lost their lives resisting the brutish and sadistic Bosch is brushed aside as nothing!
Yes, Lord Snooty has removed him from his parliamentary post and the fool himself has apologised. This however is not enough! Lord Snooty now needs to issue a directive to the people of Cannock Chase imploring them to immediately deselect this worthless cretin. The country will be watching the people of Cannock Chase very closely to see their response!
Photo 06 - Auschwitz motto "work makes you free" Simply a killing factory on a huge scale!
Perhaps a tour of the Auschwitz death camp, in particular the gas chambers cynically disguised as communal showers, and a meeting with the few survivors that remain might help to concentrate the minds of these two imbeciles! Two lightweights, an embarrassment and an affront to this country, two sacrilegious fools completely without value! Flogging would be too good for them!
Fool no 1 plus the two above - three fools indeed!
Next week – the results of the Muppet of the year competition 2011. Next week’s articles will be published on Monday 26th of December.

Rich very well done on exposing the antics of the imbecile bully!! You wont hear a cheep out of him now that he knows his cowardly antics can be traced.
Im getting the feeling you dont like germans much? A lot of people with connections to the war dont. Anyway great work and merry xmas.
Jerry
Hello Jerry, yes we did not expect to hear from the Noddy again! His type open their mouths and allow air to rush through the vocal chords, there is no thought attached to what they say! Job done as far as showing the general population of angling that there is still work to be done eradicating these fools!
Jerry on the contrary I do not hate all Germans (in fact I do not hate anyone!). I have known and still do know many Germans for whom I have the utmost regard as decent honest people of great integrity, you have to take people as you find them and not based on past history or nationality.
Make no mistake however, my loathing for the Bosch of the war era knows no limits! These creatures were sadistic mass torturers, murderers of men, women and children and participants in cataclysmic atrocities the like of which the world had never seen before! When the Red Army unleashed itself on Berlin exacting ferocious retribution on the Bosch, I would have shed no tears such is my revulsion at their earlier actions!
My father was taken by the Bosch to a forced labour camp at the age of 15 viz a chemical company I G Farben (who made Zyklon B) the forerunners of Bayer Chemicals and others that exist today. Long hours, no breaks or days off, little or no food, no safety procedures whatsoever, brutal work conditions and constant mistreatment with death lying round every corner made for a living hell! Many who took ill or became too weak to work were resettled into what were referred to as “rehabilitation” camps such as Auschwitz - Birkenau and Treblinka!
Of course no rehabilitation ever took place there, they were industrial scale extermination camps! The first duty on arrival was to shower to prevent the spread of disease. But no water ever gushed from the shower heads it was Zyklon B, a cyanide gas that killed in minutes! Thankfully my father and a group of others escaped to France then to Britain to fight alongside the British army. This was a hellish time the like of which you and I in our wildest nightmares could not imagine!
Any idiot proudly wearing Nazi regalia is but a vile insect, the very lowest form of life showing the highest of degree of ignorance and disrespect and as such is only worthy of the utmost derision and scorn!
Yes my heart quickens when I read of imbeciles such as the two I have mentioned and it will be thus until the day I die! Education on the horrors (the Bosch burned live children at Auschwitz-Birkenau to save money on gas) of war should be mandatory for all schoolchildren so that the mistakes of the past and the despicable actions mentioned above are never repeated and numbskulls like those above would not think it cool to imitate the inhuman brutal beast that was the Bosch! I know many will say I should forgive the crimes of these people during the war, however rightly or wrongly I cannot find it within myself to do so! http://www.auschwitz.dk/auschwitz.htm
Best regards as always and Merry Christmas
Richard
You wonder why the silent dicks bother they get shot down every time! the germans of that time were probably the cruellest people ever a disgrace to humanity!!
John
Hello John, yes its the same every time bold statements then nothing! It is quite clear everyone despises these fools and is desperate for them to be removed from the angling scene. Such people could never be a benefit to angling!
Indeed the Bosch of nthat era were bestial in every way!
Thanks for your comments.
Merry Christmas
Richard
Richard, I had no doubt you would sort out the Muppets! Your section on life under the Germans was very sad and I'm afraid the link you left was extremely distressing. I was not able to go through it all, will have to do it a bit at a time. I am finding it hard to take in how cruel these people were! Thank you for opening my eyes to this subject, a friend has told me to get a disc of Schinlers list she says its a pretty accurate portrayal of some people who were saved from being gassed and incinerated. Have you see it?
On a lighter note my guess for Muppet of the year is Danger man. Am I correct?
Merry Xmas to you and yours!
Helen
Hello Helen you are becoming a regular visitor I'm glad to say. Yes the clowns have been vanquished and lets hope the get out of angling altogether!The events I recalled are indeed sad, in fact they are the blackest moment in the history of humanity!
Helen I have delved into the atrocities of the Bosch for a long period of time now and I often find I have to take a break. There is no easy way to deal with what you read so great are the crimes of the Bosch!
i have seen the film you mention it is very good and I am told very true to life! Go very slowly when reading about the crimes of the Bosch their actions often defy description by a normal vocabulary! I would say however please continue it will make you a better person! The more that are aware of the horrendous crimes committed by the Bosch the better. The depths of depravity reached by these sub humans must never be visited again!
regarding the Muppet of the year results you like everyone else will have to wait until Monday evening.
Many thanks for your comments and Merry Christmas!
Richard
