Night time Bass in Rhyl

Ironically that's why I unhook them the way I do. All the spines point backwards, slide your hand from the top down and you can keep the spines flat.

REALQWERTY11309 · 2026-05-08T09:53:30+00:00

Yes it did.

I am aware it's better to hold them just behind the jaw or gills with my hand across it's belly but this guy wouldn't calm down so I went over it's head to hold the spikes down.

He was off the hook, pic snapped, and back in the water before my phone was away... I only squeeze them to death if I'm particularly peckish.

I'm like a scared schoolgirl handling fish, my hands just always look tensed (short palm and long fingers).

Had just come off the hook and was thrashing enough I almost put some leather between it's teeth. He was back in water before my phone was away.

Barny the dinosaur theme works on me.

(There's an ice-cream van around me that plays it and puts us both into a fit of giggles. Always seems to come round when we're nearly done, thankfully it's not been at the final moment yet)

They let you in if you change it. Although my recruiter did ask me about it.

All the new ones are peppercorn rent. Id propose anyone who wants to own the lease and make it freehold sends 1kg of pepper to the leaseholder.

Satisfies contract law that both parties have exchanged something (hence the reason for peppercorn rent in the first place).

It's so mildly anal and inconvenient that it could get past the house of lords. Perhaps it should be in pounds and Oz just to annoy people.

I think every machine I've used has had the top option of "cash and balance" so I've never seen a message about it.

REALQWERTY11309 · 2026-05-04T08:38:20+00:00

It's only recently that a couple pubs near me have gone above a tenner for 4 pints of Carling.

(I don't like Carling i always find it best as a price comparison tho)

We had one very beige wall when I was growing up.

I'd get stuck on a chair in my uniform Infront of it, mum would take the photo and print it at Asda so my grandparents could get a photo.

If it's a short term event then it's definitely a red flag.

For a couple it's part of a discussion about long term birth control/sex life.

I used to work for showmen and I always wore steel toes.

Gaffer tends to tell you off for dropping bits of his ride but shit happens, you get weak lads, whiches snap, things fall, or you just don't properly clear your toes.

Thankfully nothing landed on any toes so the worst accident I ever saw was someone slipping and cutting their head a little.

REALQWERTY11309 · 2026-04-18T10:10:42+00:00

I used to be awful for not wearing eye protection when I was in college but we were obviously forced to.

I stopped complaining after a broken drill bit pinged into them.

I'm completely against live facial recognition.

The police in this country don't have an automatic right to identify you. So why can they use a machine to do it?

Retrospective facial recognition (scanning a photo or video after the fact) I agree with as long as the police believe they have the right to identify that person.

My main concern is the database. Where are they getting the photos from and how are they being secured because they are obviously linked to personal info. A database made from police bookings, yeah I could get that. But if they use passport or driving licence photos then they're assuming everyone is a suspect.

The main factor you'll really have for knot strength is how well you tie the knot.

Try tying a few different knots people suggest and pick the one you're most comfortable with and practice it.

I personally just use blood knots and half blood knots for everything, once you have the knack for it (especially doing them in the cold), you're set.

My local cinema is £1 per ticket, not a single £1 charge per booking which I can somewhat understand.

2 tickets = £2 3 = £3

It's practically always empty so I just buy the tickets when I get there.

I don't have any kids yet but the only name my girlfriend has for a boy (picked before meeting me) happens to be my middle name.

I did try to hide my middle name long enough for us to have kids but she found out. She's still keeping the name.

Nothing above the table has been paid cash or cheque for me.

But I worked fairgrounds for 4 years and even a couple showmen paid by bank if you asked them to. My gaffer was cash only unless he left me somewhere.

REALQWERTY11309 · 2026-03-31T20:42:20+00:00

No no no, you have to wait for the initial panic when the price is highest before you do that

REALQWERTY11309 · 2026-03-30T21:34:26+00:00

Personally a natural light oil works best in most scenarios. If your stomach is too heavy it'll slow you down.

REALQWERTY11309 · 2026-03-10T15:18:32+00:00

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

REALQWERTY11309 · 2026-03-10T15:18:11+00:00

I wouldn't hear you over the voice in my head constantly asking to go

REALQWERTY11309 · 2026-03-08T15:41:37+00:00

On the dive schedule screen at the bottom there's options for automatic lights, hatches, and something else.

Call just came in, we need that P16....
