Crying shame for the forum Mark . Fully respect your wishes. Good luck in everything you do in the future. And a massive thanks from me for everything that you've done in making my dreams come true with some of the fish I have caught. All of which have been down to using your hookbaits. Cheers

I suppose you're right in that respect. Just a shame the a***holes couldn't be stopped somehow.

Sorry to hear this Mark, truly a sad day for the forum, Your contributions have been invaluable to so many on here. I guess you've been so close to pulling the plug many times but finally decided enough is enough.
The trolls will suffer the most though as their envy will continue to eat them up from inside even more now you've removed their means of venting it.
All the best fella ðŸ‘

Thank you for the kind words. It means so much.
They can win this small battle. I don't care. The war is what you win in real life, not the pathetic little battles in the shadows of the internet. That is pure children's stuff. I have too much going on with SHB to waste my time on these losers. Blokes who have far too much time on their hands, all day, everyday. I don't have their endless time. This has gone on ever since the very first days I joined this forum. It's literally never stopped. That's many years now. It was going on for Karl and the forum long before I was ever here. Same blokes. Constant sly digs in the background trying to get a rise. Right up to all out pure nasty spite. But it's got so much worse, the better we are outwardly seen to be doing over the last couple of years. That in itself shows absolutely everything, what this is really all about. It's a level of obsession that defies normal logic. It's a level of obsession that shows some very serious mental illness. It's just spineless, bat **** crazy blokes on the internet. I am so very public, our phone number is available to all. But I would never hear from these people in real life. Not once. Not ever. Because that's real, with end consequence. They live in the shadows of the internet where they stupidly actually believe that there is no real life consequences for them. It's a comfort blanket for them, because it's not real. They can portray something to the world which they are not in real life. When you actually find out how sad their pitiful existence is in real life, all becomes absolutely crystal clear. Sadly they thrive off of the anonymity which they can get here under numerous fake profiles. That's why they are so completely obsessed with here. They are here right now. They live on the other smaller forums constantly too, but know that no one is looking, or gives a monkeys. So they do what they do here, over and over again. They just don't get my attention which they crave so much anymore online.
As far as me being able to be on here, it's just not for the best of either the forum, or me anymore. These people are absolutely obsessed with this place sadly. They can't walk away. No matter how many times they get banned or told no over and over again by Karl. I am not obsessed whatsoever. I can walk away from here in a heartbeat, that's exactly what I will have to do now. It's really for the best for everyone.
It's okay. Like I said, the most incredible things are happening for SHB going forwards. I need to concentrate solely on that. I have just realised today, that this craziness regarding here, it is never going to stop. That's all. So I'll just have to walk away from here. The exact thing, which they have never been able to do.
I wish all of you the very best in the future, I really do.

A real shame Mark. Hopefully one day you'll feel like making a return. Gleamed plenty of info over the years that you've posted. Take care of yourself and keep doing what you're doing. The trolls will never achieve what you have.
P.s. can you maybe just post the odd tip now and again?!

Sorry to hear that this maybe the last time you post. The various nuggets of information you have posted on this site over the years has certainly helped me catch more fish. When the grief you get outweighs your enjoyment on this site then fair playâ¤ï¸

They haven't won, they don't have a successful bait company selling to some of the best shops in the country :)

The time has now come for me to say goodbye to the forum sadly. It's really for the best now, not just for me, but for the forum itself too I truly believe. I've not been asked to leave, far from it. It's just what me & mine think is for the best now. Me being here, just brings constant and never ending trouble from a certain crowd of ex members under fake profiles. That's no longer viable anymore. It's not great for the forum either. As much as I love conversing with people here, sadly that's no longer possible. That's life. It moves on.
I wish all of you on here the very best of luck in the future. I would like to thank you all from the very bottom of my heart. I have met so many amazing carp anglers via this forum. I have spoken to so many of you via our work phones WhatsApp. There has been plenty of ups & downs since I've been here… But the real genuine members, make this a truly great place.
From me to you reading this, thank you. Take care all of you xxx

I hope some of you took that 9's yesterday. It's now 15-2 with 365 & shortening across the board. It came in 1.5 points yesterday. 3 points the day before.
The Cheltenham preview shows/nights have all started, I watched the PaddyPower one last night in bed. Ruby Walsh (closely connected inside the Mullins stable) was very clear about this horses chance in this race. Very specific indeed. That had me cheering like a loon at 2am here
It's been shortening ever since I got the maximum stakes I could get on, but that price is going to absolutely collapse over the next week imo. If you backed it at 9's you could lay it all off for a very healthy return on your money with zero risk next week. But you should let it run.
I have a lot on to win. They increase my max stake for the big festivals by 200% on each account, because there's so much more liquidity in the markets. So I can get a lot more on than normal. If that horse wins, I will have had an amazing Cheltenham, whatever else happens. I have it linked with other fancies in big win doubles at those fancy prices too. Win lose or draw, we already have the 'value'. That's all you can do. Hopefully the horse will then do the business for us.
It's become tradition now to buy a stupidly expensive pair of sunglasses after big wins. Hopefully next week there will be a few new pairs knocking about Ashley. It's all good fun.

Thanks Andy. Jan 2023 I picked up a 25kg sack out of a tall storage bin. Bent over the bin at a stupid angle. One of the most crazy things I've done in my life. I was a plasterer for years & know how to pick stuff up properly. Leaning over at a stupid angle with straight legs is not the way forwards. I felt my groin go instantly. Then a few months later I ripped it even worse picking up a 23kg suitcase in Brazil. Worked hard on it for two years before I could no longer walk... Had a double hernia operation abroad last April. I thought it was still a bit mullered as I still have been getting a numb pain right at top of my left leg for the last few months. Turns out scar tissue has enveloped a nerve into the mesh.
Plenty of physio & a course of injections should sort it the surgeon says.
You could not believe how happy I am. I was absolutely ruined last April for six weeks after the op. I REALLY did not want to have another operation. So glad it's getting resolved. It's been a major pain in the arris for a long time now.
