me pals are fishing it for sure Peter but I\'m a bit short in the shekel dept. and the last thing I want to do is spectate, or worse still fish without entering and win which is what I do all the time when I go to sleep and dream.

Mind between 200+ (?) anglers I\'m sure there\'d be a few spare whiteworm, shorecrab and a bit yellow tail / king rag spare. I smoke Bensons as well. ring our lass on 0191 ************ and ask for Mercedes

[mark]

.... and ask for Mercedes

that brough the memories back. When wor lass was in hospital having holly, there was a 14 (yes 14) year old lass from byker had just had a baby girl, this is the converstaion I overhead:

nurse: so have you thought of a name for the baby yet

charver: Aye

nurse: well, what are you going to call her

charver: Vitara

nurse (looking puzzled): thats and unusual name, why Vitara

charver: \'cos I woz in the back of a vitara when he babbied us...

and lo and behold another geordie was born into the paradise of byker
