Totally agree Jamie regards ML algorithm's and the consequences. Tailoring news to your views is a dangerous road, might look great to the marketing titans but has and is clearly being abused by some for division and self promotion.

I think we need a reality check. Found this. Everything what is right about this magnificent pastime that we become addicted too. One of, if not the finest carp anglers of the last few decades. No bull****, just the facts. Would you believe it, even he blanks!

Reality check

One word, immense

I just watch him with a big smile on my face shaking my head, passion evident throughout and a stunner after a stunner

Back to the sad reality of carpfishing as we know it with a bang!

Don't be a knob. Watch the great man, how the **** can people get it so wrong

Apparently so. I can't say I ever saw a bloke in khaki heavy knit getting loose at jungle raves back in the day though

I'd argue I was at the right ones but it was a joke, not a criticism. I couldn't see anything that wasn't female shaped through my dilated pupils anyway.
In our inevitable quarterly ranting threads the cable knit and soppy hats, alien substance use, southern lingo, modern music and even god forbid folded reel handles always get a mention. So is it memory loss or hypocrisy because it's nothing new and the pioneers of it are put on a pedestal as role models.
Basically the north hate the south, the old hate the young, the poor hate the rich, the teetotal hate those who dabble etc.
If we had a thread on what people actually like it'd either be left with no replies or revert to moaning again

Totally agree.

I recently put a post up on fb on farlows site, some lad caught a nice fish and someone from cypography was there and took his pic. I merely stated, as good as the pic was, I'd have thought it would have been better, as it was taken by a pro. Meant no dig but the replies I got Someone (usual behaviour) found a pic from about 10yrs ago to try and contradict my statement, wouldn't mind but they must have scrolled through loads of decent pics to find that one. Does make you laugh
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
