I'm thinking about having some bacon.

Went to the library yesterday and tripped over a stick, LOL

What type of socks should I buy to wear with a grey suit?

Does anyone know where I can find a decent garage as my tyre is flat?

HELP! I'm doing the crossword and am stuck with 10 across. 2 words......

Soundmixer liked this too. I mean actually liked it and not in some will you be my friend kind of way.
Soundmixer liked the bacon bit. Actually liked the idea of bacon so went and had some. Thanks for the idea Goolager.
Soundmixer agrees with Ben and Goolager that we do not need a like button, that way we won't have a competition as to how many likes a topic gets and we can maintain the high-brow, intellectual conversation that we have on here.
Soundmixer likes the fact that Ben now has windows.  :z16
Jedi can FO if he keeps telling us how nice it is in the land of cheap wodka  :z7

Snows all gone from Edzell. Soundmixer liked the way it slid off his Alfa......
STOP IT!  :grin :grin :grin

Try and keep it to one bottle jimbo :z18

Ladies I was only joking about the like button. Well kinda. It's on other forums I use and I do find it handy. Saves all the nice one/ lovely pic etc posts.
Thanks whoring obviously goes on but so what.

As for all the Facebook references. It's funny how certain individuals (Iain Goolager) despite claiming Facebook is for pencils or poo's or some such sure seem to know a lot about it. Eh eh eh!!!

Liam,
Hello wee boy, hope your not wearing budgie smugglers in that heat or Noel might have to 'like' your post................wait a minute that sounds wrong!

Jim, enjoy the artificial heat from the old tattie juice as it's gonna get a whole lot colder.

Euan, I had a hearty guffaw when I read that you actually went & had some bacon  :z4 :z4 :z4 the power of the internet  :cool:

Al, is Skyfall any good? (oh no! that's a Facebook thing to say  :X1)

Matt, nice photo. I've a new pair of waders - Orvis Sonic Seams so my two old pairs of leaky leg waders are now history, thank goodness.

Trig, you are a girl!

Fried in lard until nice and crispy then served in a bap, smeared in butter. One good squirt of French's mustard and away you go! :grin

Hi mike :z16

Yes had a few all on bloodworm. Good hard fighting fish. Was surprised at the amount of guys out fishing. It was Baltic and wet but I enjoyed every bit of it. Got lots of good warm layers nowadays only part that needs sorting is feet, my feet were frozen. Will start a thread about that actually.

Started a thread on footwear and socks last night but lost it all while trying to add links.
I had been looking at sealskinz socks, how do these orvis compare? I'm gonna get a bigger pair of wellies to accommodate thick socks. Tight fit is apparently the main cause of cold feet, well after temperature.... Have seen elsewhere people suggest 3 sizes bigger than your normal? Sounds v big to me. Any suggestions?
Title: Re: Snow
Post by: Sandy Nelson on 29/10/2012 at 07:43
Yeah......Try them on first :z16

Real rubber and Neoprene lined are brilliant and mine fit with a wee bit of room over a good pair of  bridgedale heavyweight socks.
Not enough room to move my feet around but enough not to feel snug :z6

Good wellies are worth paying for, however john Norris often has slight seconds that are superb value :z16

Thanks Sandy some pretty good deals there alright obviously won't be able to try them on though! Think 3sizes is a bit much may go for 2 :z8
Jim are you serious? Have you tried them yourself?
Title: Re: Snow
Post by: Sandy Nelson on 29/10/2012 at 18:13
Noel

If i remember right, we have the same size shoes :z8 i take a 10 1/2 or an 11 depending on the shoe.
My wellies are a 46 or  size 11 and they are ideal. I wouldn't be going 2 sizes up.
If you go into country ways in town they have a good selection of nice boots to try on.
Ben should have quite a few in the shop as well :wink
Definately worth trying on a few first IMHO.
