Going by what people have been searching for on my fancy blog stats some people are trying to work out why anglers says “Tight Lines” to each other. Here from my archives is what I have got to say on the matter: I loathe the saying “tight lines”, I can remember when people started using…

Kelvinators – my faith has been restored!
OK, sure we had a few moments that were a bit dodgy. The tone was set when a chap walked in to the room and started giving Paul abuse as he could not find the venue (like that is our fault) however he gave a quick apology when he was chinned about his behavior. Everyone brought…
Haunted by foxes!
I encountered it in a Bed and Breakfast in Pitlochry – the look of pure absolute evil. Its eyes were attached to a head that had been wrenched off its shoulders and then had a hapless duck stuck between its jaws. I have never been freaked out by a stuffed animal so much in my…
Developer Hugh Reid about to f*ck with the Kelvin – not on our watch!

Hardy/Greys Customer Service..
I am going to start out and say I should not really have expected anything more. I have always had a bit of a weird relationship with Hardy and their customer service. I suppose I should be glad they do not treat an opinionated asshole with a blog any differently than any other punter. After my favorite Greys rods…
