2003 👍
2003 👍
Joined in 2003 but forgot and then created this profile in 2004.
I was a Mod for a while and organised the infamous Farlows social where several memories stand out:
1) "Commoncarp" getting really drunk and starting aggro with one of the larger members who slapped him round the face.
2) CommonCarp then being pulled out of the freezing lake by Freedi and stood in the lukewarm shower for ages. Im sure Freedi saved his life.
3) Daz Conway falling asleep pissed so we dressed him up with all the cleaning lit including a mop. I still have a photo of Boo licking his face.
4) Playing poker with a big group and winning
5) I didn't bring any fishing gear as I knew id get no chance so me and my brother Tich bivvied up at the back of the lodge. Next morning I woke up and wondered why it was so bright, turned out to be snow. Then I heard Tich throw up. Turned out he's zipped up his sleeping bag and couldn't undo it quick enough so threw up in his sleeping bag cover.
6) Chris Cook and another Chris had their tackle stolen. We'd already left but the manager of Farlows was obnoxious about it all. The site was meant to be locked and patrolled by the bailiffs who instead spent the whole weekend on the piss.
I also went to the social/comp at Bridges, Staplehurst and the one at Willows. There was also another one at a place in Cambs where it all kicked off when someone suggested the Mods leave to have their own meeting. Staplehurst made me laugh as a certain then Mod who was full of mouth (left to start another website) got caught without a licence by the EA.
Then there was the social at Wolverhampton with Jim Shelley.
I also fished in a couple of the knockout match things though can't remember the name of it for the life of me.
I remember when we had the Babes thread which funnily enough eventually got removed
Happy times and I went twice to Boysaway in France with people from the forum as well.

3 - I couldn't find my pics of him and the sheep but did find the one of him head on table with a slight Irish theme going on

Hi Pete, good to see you on here mate.
I see by your profile you've not grown much
I'm sure I see Sam posting on here a while back. You still in contact with her? Think she's been in the England Womens Team?

I never knew he'd had a slap prior to my finding him in the lake!
Some good socials there pal, I did the Willows and Jim Shelley ones too. Did anyone actually bother with bivvies or did we all just kip in that barn at the JS social? I was pulling straw out of my sleeping bag for months afterwards!

I fished in the original carp forum carp match, fished a qualifier with slash and a few others at Thorpe lea and then made it to the final which was at Barston lake near Coventry. Think i won about 80 quid for coming 2nd.
Lost touch with the forums for a number of years.
Remember chatting with Boris and a few others back then
