Hello fellow ***** lovers. After our very INTERESTING meeting last Thursday I just had to bung a few more ideas into the mixer! The turnout was great, the enthusiasm was encouraging, pity it got a bit strained towards the end. I suppose It was my fault.......as I AM suppose to be in charge of the club and the club DOES sell ALCOHOL!!It's really weird how a few bevies make a normal healthy brain shrink to the size of a sprout! I didn't realise that ***** was such a provocative word. Now if you want to get a person touchy you can call him a Tw*t, but I think that word is quite endearing and not insulting at all. Now the F. word, that can get a few heckles raised! But If someone really wants to go all the way and fisticuffs are on the agenda, its got to be the dreaded C. word, it always works! That is definately SO last year, for the new word on the block, the word to set off World War III is now ***** ! It's so bad I dare not even put it in print as my internet connection will probably die and I will become a statistic on a secret data base for grossly inflammatory and extremely provocative remarks!!
Funny thing is, I was ready to vote ***** in, but once it got mentioned once or twice I could see people I've known for years, changing into rabid dogs. If its got that effect on quite (I Said Quite) sensible people think what we could do to highly volatile races! Drop a few plane loads full of paper with the ***** word on Afghanistan, Iran & N Korea, that'll soon sought them OUT!!!
As I said I was going to vote FOR IT ANYWAY, but such has the powers of that word that several members changed their mind mid stream. Having had a week to think about what's good for the club and of course what's best for us, lets discuss ***** for just one more time. To me, it's all about floating baits and how it can be abused! The way I think we may get around this is the Barford way and I think it could work for us. All we should do is ban any baits in the top 15inches of water! We don't allow floating baits anyway, so if we remove all baits in that area of water the dreaded ***** could be used! As for pop-ups I can't really see any harm in them! Because anyone popping up 18 inches off the bottom is no different than having no shot and float fishing 18 inches off the bottom! AS LONG as everyone knows that the top 15 inches no bait is allowed (unless margin fishing in 12 inches of water and then you will be on the bottom anyway!) I can't see any PROBLEM in it! (but I am quite thick).
As the meeting degenerated into a farce,the way we can get around this is to have an internet vote. (A FIRST FOR POT BLACK). One thing what we cannot forget is that ***** did get voted out by 9 -7 but what we cannot forget is that the ***** word was used a lot at that stage and we all know how high exposure can fry peoples minds. Mind you, If you feel that democratic vote should STAND, vote for that and all other votes for not fishing the top 15 inches, DO NOT EVEN GET CONSIDERED!! Come on give it a go, then at least I'll know you-lot are reading my rubbish and I might be encouraged to do some more in the future!!!!!
Right, the vote closing date is Sunday 5th April and will be announced on the website with all the up-to-date- rules for all the waters we are fishing with the fixture list and any changes (just for you Bob Morris).
VOTE NO 1 - old vote of 9-7 for ***** to be banned, and keep old rules (no floating baits)
VOTE NO 2 - ban any baits in the top 18 inches of water and allow ***** to be fished with.
VOTE NO 3 - ban drinks in the club and allow ***** only for your sandwiches!!!!!!
PLEASE SEND YOUR VOTES TO - potblack147@hotmail.co.uk with your mobile numbers or landline so I can update my records.
NEWS-FLASH:- The car park at Asda was evacuated and cordoned off on Friday when Pot Black Barmaid, Chrissie Baxter was found to have 3 loaves of ***** on her! Police later issued a statement saying that after intense cross examination for 18 hours the only comment she would say was that "there's darts on tonight, chuck!" Having no over evidence the police had to discharge her (but rumoured too late for the dart match) and after a controlled explosion in the car park, normal service was later resumed that morning.......
