    A Saturday afternoon angling adventure (with video)

    An afternoon of relaxation and tranquillity had been arranged.

    Reading, eating and drinking had been taken care of...



    A delightful swim had been located...



    Interesting flora and fauna were present in abundance...



    An ill-weighted float bobbed hypnotically on wavelets...



    The occasional city-bound train rhythmically rattled passed in the distance...



    Several marvellous hours of fishing were set to commence...




    ...then this happened.

    It was probably guarding it's nest. I hope you didn't stand on the eggs. Then you would probs have both legs broken and Godfrey his neck.

    Clever of you to take tuna sandwiches. In over forty years of angling in lakes, rivers and sea I only had cheese and tomato . Kraft cheeses, never anything else, but I had a flask of soup in winter, always oxtail. Then I got married and never fished again.

    Anybody want to buy a Hardy fly rod and reel ?

    Evil b'stards them swans, the Poles had it right...dinner.

    A mate of mine actually caught one pissed up and held it like a chicken and that's all I can remember of the story.

    Did you catch anything then?

    No nest present, Pats. It was just being a fucking hooligan.

    I had to abandon everything due to that big white fuck.

    I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth. And indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory. This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appeareth nothing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! How like an angel in apprehension. How like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me, no, nor swans neither. Nor swans neither.

    Swans despise deep heat! So may I suggest one smears ones self generously with said cream to avoid any future altercations.

    the old biddy in the big house on the corner is pissed off with you


    Is it true that all mute swans in the UK are owned by the Queen?

    Yes, she has the prerogative right of ownership for all the mute swans in England and Wales.
    maybe get some capsicum spray

    Yes, and prosecutions are becoming more commonplace now that conviction precedents have been set. It is also a criminal offence to interfere with nesting swans in any way - they cannot be moved if the location of the nest is inconvenient for whatever reason.

    they sound like just another decorative animal - lacquer the fcukers

    That'll teach you for drinking diet coke and using tuna sarnies for bait.

    I bet you wouldn't be walking in the tall grass back here in Thailand Slapper.

    Fishing is not about catching fish.

    It's about relaxing in nature without that white marauder.

    Take your sling shot with you in the morrow.

    To be fair colour and size is irrelevant, a smart bloke will run away from a small angry white bird, a large angry black girl, or a small angry Asian girl as quickly as he would run away from a large angry white bird.

    The other swan stole the tuna sandwich while Fisherman Slaps was being chased off; they left the diet cokes though... They'll probably choke on the plastic wrapper and Fisherman Slaps will get a jail sentence. On the upside, once in the nic, Penman Slaps can write about Bubba, four men in a bed and non-lubricated anal fisting.
    Cycling should be banned!!!

    Phaaaarken 'ell. I woulda thought a thread about failed fishing would be immune to homoerotic innuendo. Turns out I was wrong.

    One man's fishing story is another man's homoerotica, as they say...
