Not fishing but I we had a flat tyre of her car.

I jacked up the car and told her “ I know what the problem is, there is a nail at the top of the tyre “

Her reply: are you sure ? The flat is at the bottom of the tyre.

She was deadly serious.

My GF soon into our relationship suggested I was more interested in fishing than her, so I wrote a list of 50 things I found more interesting this was 10 years ago and whenever she can the statement of, she's less important rears it's ugly head , I refer her to the list. She should feel proud she hasn't moved down on the list so things aren't all that bad.

Although if she slips to position 60 I'll have to ask her to buck her ideas up or else. I fancy a power porter maybe she could step up to the mark and be my caddy.

Hi All

It was about 15 years the Mrs heard a conversation I was having which included low double and upper double.
When we got home she asked me to explain, unfortunately I did, she not only found it stupid, but also hilarious as any fish under 100lb is apparently a double.
The piss taking on this has since never stopped as she knows it really grinds me. For instance a couple of weeks ago we bought a 20 kilo bag of dry dog food which she referred to as a mid double bag whilst in the shop.
Anyway she let's me fish when I want so I it's a small price to pay

Best

Jon

My ex wife and myself had a mutual divorce but it was at the time when one person had to cite unreasonable behaviour, she she chose to cite.
So my divorce papers simply state "Roach Pit".
Bliss...

Nothing... Apart from the odd all you do is sit there and scroll fish. She hasn't the slightest interest in what I do..

Mine just finds the names of carp book amusing, keeps taking photos of them to send to her friends.

When she asked why i go, i suggested she came for a night. her response was 'no, i hate fish'.

Going fishing in my company at the moment rarely involves encountering a fish

Yeah my mrs chuckles at the books too. She was checking out Finding the Time to Cast and Tels new book and suggested they use the same font on the cover as they do on Jehovas witness or religious pamphlets. I can't unsee it now. Loads of them do it.

For some reason, my missus finds "Bazil's Bush" quite hilarious!

The only thing the missus says about fishing is, "when are you gonna be home?" 😩
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
