Funnily enough, you have posted an image of the filename so that really is a clever trick when posting a link to the photo, it should have quite a bit before: 20180603_091103.jpg; it should start with https:// and then be followed by something like dropbox.com/2018/06/bluelabels_massive_carp/20180603_091103.jpg I don't have a drop box account so don't know much more, sorry.

I don't think you need a camera to remember a catch like that, well in buddy

Try contacting admin, I always crop and resize images before uploading (normally to a width of 600 pixels), but then I don't post many pictures of fish

I've been after a job selling programmes at the word cup since I left school; any more jobs going?

It's down to personal choice of course, but, I would not suggest using a pole for carp fishing simply because you have no control over it; I would suggest float fishing using a medium to heavy feeder rod as an alternative.

Well in there Esmin

You can load Ubuntu into memory and use it to save your files to an external drive (USB stick etc.. providing Windoesn't hasn't mangled the hard drive), and maybe, you could even load it permanently on to your laptop, you can start to use it again, especially since you've got nothing to lose. I can soon get a disk in the post to you.

You're right in principle, the reality though is that viruses and malware etc.. are released daily. Where Linux is concerned, the other updates are primarily because they operate on such a vast range of hardware that there will be some compatibility problems somewhere along the line. The devices that you use are based on Linux. The upgrading is to deal with new technologies which are released frequently.

Shouldn't laugh really, but

Practising digging up worms Wouldn't be the first time But at least I am allowed to say that you both talk ...

It's a never ending debate, I'm not sure if we will ever really know outside of a gut feel; what seems to be the case and works one day might not work the next or seem to be something else. Fishing would soon get boring if we did know everything, most of my enjoyment is the chase (including dabbling in the bait quest) rather than the capture.

That rig only works if you use this:

Say what you think Nick

There a many recipes which use egg powder, basically you are replacing the water that was in the eggs. Can't comment on the quality of the mix and understand your disappointment, but did you follow the mixing instructions to the letter? Note: didn't realise emcee had already posted the same
