Lee Swords Fishing

And the wheels just keep on turning!

The fishing is still rolling along quite nicely and long may that theme continue, at the point of writing this I have just landed another “7″ from the Trent, I suppose it is a little bit like waiting for a bus….You hang around for years and then two come at once…I really do hope I get another as I have an update article planned for CAT that follows on from the “666 Number of the Beast” one I did for them just over a year ago.

This one would be called “777 is the new 666 when it comes to numbers of the Beast”

I can but hope…however it may yet be 20 years before I get another one so don’t hold your breath for that one!

So what am I doing different to what I have done previously?

Not a great deal if truth be told, my methods ( although crude) have been quite well polished over the years and I feel very little need to change how I fish in relation to bagging up on good nets of fish, one thing I could probably do however is brush up on my tide tables because one day i am going to get caught out big time.

Something else I have done with this fish is enter it for another Drennan Weekly Award, I do hope it wins one as that would be superb but it is up to the people at Angling Times if they decide that it merits one or not and the other anglers around the country in what they have caught.

Fingers crossed :O)

 

Jack Scott Sheffield Councillor for the Environment opens his mouth and once again a torrent of bollocks pours forth

I can talk some proper bollocks when I want to, in fact I pride myself on the quality of bollocks that I can talk, the only difference in my bollocks and the bollocks that Jack Scott talks is that I KNOW when I am talking bollocks because I am generally doing it for a bit of fun.

Whereas I truly think  Jack “the man with the face I would never tire of slapping ” Scott actually believes the bollocks that is coming out of his mouth but furthermore I actually think he thinks that we believe the bollocks that comes out of his mouth…

Bollocks to that I say.

Anyway his latest outpouring of testicular vocabulary is in regards to the scrapping of a planned reduction in the speed limit of the M1 through Sheffield.

Sheffield City Council seem to think that Sheffield exists on a different planet than the rest of the world at times.

I remember many years ago when Sheffield City Council declared itself a “nuclear free zone” satisfied that this would protect the city population from radioactive poisoning come the end of the world, I also recall that earlier this year Sheffield City Council decided to recognise Somaliland.

These “little declarations” however grandiose they come across in their nature do not actually impact on anything nor anyone excepting that they make everyone that lives in Sheffield look like a bunch of Socialist pricks which is to be expected with the amount of bollocks hanging around the Town Hall…

But…

The declaration of a 60 mph speed limit on the M1 passing through Sheffield would be catastrophic and would cause massive congestion problem far further afield than the Socialist Federation of Sheffield and so it was quite rightly rejected, a decision the AA has called a victory for common sense.

Jack Scott however has spat his noo-noo and come out all guns blazing in his role as Councillor for the Environment.

Unfortunately for him people like me have memories and we remember the times when he did not stand up and do his job and so a letter was sent to the Sheffield Star.

Here it is…enjoy…and remember…all these idiots in positions of power can be voted into oblivion…all it takes is a “cross”

I would like to take Jack Scott our Councillor for the Environment to task over his concerns regarding the scrapped 60mph speed limit plan for the M1 through Sheffield, his concerns over “possible” deaths are pathetic and quite honestly so politically skewed that it is both laughable and at the same time highly  annoying as this is the same man that has stood by and said not one word in defense of the Greenbelt and Ancient Woods of Smithy and watched without so much as raising an eyebrow at the planned destruction of hundreds of acres of pollution stripping open space nor has Jack Scott uttered one word of concern in regards to the healthy irreplaceable and once again pollution stripping mature trees that are  being felled by the thousand in the name of health and safety (profit maximization) by SCC’s private deforestation unit AKA Amey or the crippling effect on the lives of the “East Ends” youth with the destruction of Don Valley Stadium a place that if it had been managed correctly could have inspired thousands to take on board far healthier lifestyle choices and bring on the next generation of Jessica Ennis’.

 

“STOP THE PRESS….LEE SWORDS IS A SELF OPINIONATED RACIST!”

I really don’t give two shits what people think about me as a person because life is too short for me to attempt a grand re-modelling of “me”, I am what I am and that is all I can be, all I can do is try my best to achieve as much as possible with what I have and that being the case what is “that” over there you say? That thing in the distance, yes, that’s it…That thing flying away over the horizon?…Oh…That “thing” there?  That is the very the last fuck I ever gave about what people say or think about me.

Last week a person called me a self opinionated racist…

Self opinionated as opposed to what?

What is the point of having any other opinion rather than your own? Should I go out to the “opinion shop” and buy a politically neutered opinion that is safe with pets and soft furnishings? Would it then be possible to download an opinion upgrade via Google? If I do upgrade my opinion will I qualify for loyalty points from the opinion shop that can be redeemed against further politically corrected upgrades ?

People should have the bollocks to rely a little bit more on their own opinions rather than  taking up safe position by adopting the generally accepted but quite often erroneous opinions that are spewed out of the Establishment.

As for me being racist…Now that is so very funny that I almost pissed myself laughing!!

As a younger man I was rather active with persons of the opposing sex and if I were to stick pins into a map that correlated to the home countries of the girls I stuck bits of me into there would be a lot of pins that would not be in Britain and quite a few that would not even be in Europe…When it comes to girls I don’t give a flying toss if they are yellow, white, brown or even blue..In fact one of the first females I was ever attracted to was “blue” , the fact that she just happened to be a genetically enhance fictional animation was neither here nor there in my opinion!

Me racist?…ridiculous!

However I am extremely “Culturalist” which means if a culture demands absolute and total obedience, intolerance, hatred and murder, then I will openly say that I think it is a load of bollocks and you can stick it where the sun doesn’t shine because I am not having any of it and nobody will tell me that I am a bad person for not being “inclusive” but at the same time “diverse” in my thoughts.

 

“Isotope migraines”

Is it just me or does anyone else suffer migraines after a night on the isotopes, bite alarms and starlight’s?

Or is the problem that I tend to actually night fish rather than settle down in my own nice comfy fishing bed with a fluffy teddy bear and a snuggly warm blanky. I have done 3 nights so far this year ( yep…just the three) and haven’t even bothered with a bed chair yet instead relying on  reclining my chair and using a bait bucket as a foot rest.

Would it be acceptable to wear sunglasses at night or would that simply be going a little bit too far?

As it is at the moment I find that I am taking two codeine at dawn because I know the migraine will appear with the rising sun and it will be a splitter !
