I'll probably be there some time in the afternoon tomorrow.

Do we need to know anything regarding a keycode for the gate? And what's happening regarding tickets?

Collect them, sell them to a local French person and buy some proper bait.

My only advice would be to pick a stretch with a few pubs along it.

Only one bait? A grenade.

A pint of Carling. I'll never make that mistake again.

I was being sarcastic.

Nothing annoys me more than a free DVD full of advertisement for the company who made it.

The memories and friends made on that trip were worth more than any swim or carp would of ever been.

It's horses for courses. I personally went to my first social, with the lads on here, for the social aspect. There's plenty more time in the year to sit in a bivvy for 3 days, and lifes too short not to take the opportunity to get positively over-indulged in both getting hammered and enjoying fantastic company. The conversations, the banter and the overall good nature of it was more than worth the sacrifice of trying to catch a carp from a lake I have little interest in, to be honest. As far as I was concerned fishing was just a common interest used to start a conversation. That and a surprisingly common hatred of Bono and his ingratiating charity speeches. For the life of me I can't see a difference, between doing this on a night out or at a lake, other than a change of back drop. If people know the limit at which they can safely fish, it's not a problem at all.
