Revolution at BOF Hall.

[BOF]

Following the unprecedented foul weather locally, a spokeswoman person for the "Keep homes tidy" campaign has instituted a palace revolution, and so, despite a valiant rearguard action by the combined forces of BOFdom, my waterproof gear has been consigned to a dripping pile in the shed till further notice.
No further fishing sorties will be allowed, at least until the weather weather allows me to return home clean and dry.
The spokeswoman person states "We have had enough ! No further co-operation with the BOF will be allowed until the mass dumping of waterproof gear ceases".
"It is completely unacceptable to have four sets of waterproof gear to dry off every week." "The place looks like a Laundry half the time, the condensation is ridiculous".

In an attempt to diffuse the situation, (at least partially), the BOF has grovelled, and will not be fishing until the weather improves a lot.
His place on the "Adventures of Snowman" has, for the time being at least, been taken up by Rickylo, and of course, our own Richwak.

Well done Mrs Bof, he shouldn't be out in the wet, cold weather at his age. I sure you can find him a few jobs inside, so he doesn't get bored ;D

Tying hooks Bof. That's what you wanna do.

Can you knock us up 50 size 26 to 12oz hooklengths please?

[gazmc]

Just leave it in the boot of the car and hope by some miracle it has dried out by the next time you use it.

[snowman]

Oh dear. ;D

Just leave it in the boot of the car and hope by some miracle it has dried out by the next time you use it.

Rachael the Barbarian is already complaining about the smell in the car, as it is.
"Are you going fishing Granddad?, cause is certainly smells like you are".



"Her Indoors" has not ridden in the BOFmobile for a couple of days now, and I am dreading the reaction, given her temper over a few bits of damp clothing here and there.

If you tell your 'significant other' that the damp waterproofs are from golfing, rather than fishing, will it affect the outcome?

Its 50 / 50 at the moment, but I may just get away with that idea. Ta ! ;D

Thanks BOF for reminding me of the pleasures of being seperated by distance and time.

The spare bedroom is a fishing den
The living room is adorned with the set of currently active rods, piles of angling books, and rig making apparatus
The kitchen has a small cooking area - the rest is fishing gear
The hall contains a wet umbrella
The garage contains bait fridges and freezers, plus motorcycle and toolkit(s) and workbenches.
Bait to food in the house is a 4 to 1 ratio.
The DIY jobs are two years in and not progressed since last April.
I will not go near DIY products witin two weeks of fishing or handling fishing gear.
The garden resembles a wildlife reserve

Oh and the immaculately maintained car is in permanant two seater mode with wellies and waterproof cover in the back, and when in motion looks like mud on wheels!

[snowman]

Perfection ;D.

even better put her in doors in the said shed with the heater and she wont get cold while doing the ironing


oh did i realy say that >>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Spudgun]

Can't see a problem Phil, whats wrong with a bit of condensation and the accompanying aroma reminiscent of a damp dog? You are moving anyway soon ;D It will give the house a bit of character for the new tennants.

That heater idea for drying the gear in the shed is definitely on. As I cant stand the force 10 nagging much more.

I even waited till she was settled in the lounge last night, watching her soaps, as she does. Before I set to reproofing 2 sets of my golfing waterproofs.
Amazingly, she was still giving me grief, through the closed lounge door!
Just because I was messing up the kitchen a bit.

Well, a lot actually. So all my grovelling has been for nothing, and I have to start again.

However I am shortly going to dump my old fishing (non)waterproofs, and get a new set of breathable ones.
The difference in performance is huge. I can't walk across a field to the river in my old ones. Not without getting to feel like I am in a sauna, anyway.
So hang the expense, I feel an attack of Goretex coming on.

Hey BOF,

You really need to put your foot down m8 like I did with my missus, I dump my clothes where ever I want to :-)

[Eyghon]

Oh no He doesn't and Craig won't be allowed to play anymore tonight!
