The Big One

[theoldfart2]

As you will all know the biggest, well possibly not the biggest, but the most prestigious fishing competition of the year.

None other than,  The Yarmouth Carnival Pier Fishing Comp, (6-7.30 next Wednesday).

Naturally I have won every event in that comp over the 60 years odd I have fished it.

Biggest fish, first fish, smallest fish, heaviest bag, etc, I have won them all."...except the biggest one of them all.

The most Handsome Fisherman, prize.

Year after year I am overlooked for this accolade. 

(There used to be a prize for the fisherman with the most impressive tackle, but after I won that the first time, they scrapped that one as no one would ever get close to winning that one with me around)

I believe it is a conspiracy by the female judges, as they could not vote for me as their husbands would be knowing that they do indeed fancy me.

So this year, again I enter the fray, and hope that the judges let their true feelings out and eventually I take my rightful title.

Wish me luck, not that I need it this year!!

Bon chance TOF!!

Do they have a senior citizen category?
Would love to have a pop myself but will be invading Spain as of tomorrow with my ASBO's!

I have never agreed with the term 'Senior Citizen' , I prefer 'Vastly Experienced Lover'.

Age is but a concept.

When you are really old, 'you have a fall' Basicly then you are screwed because after that the family gang up on you and the next thing you know is you are in death row,( The Old Peoples Home, where they visit on birthdays and Xmas, waiting for you to die, so they can get their sticky paws on what you have left.)

But active Old Farts like us, fall over , ( normally after too much Hooch) and sod the family off ,because you still have your facilities about you, and can drive to the CoOp to get your bottles of Gordens Gin three times a week. 

So until I am classed as 'Having a Fall' , I shall continue, to drink too much, consummate the marriage as much as is possible, go fishing when I can, upset as many people on this site (until Sunny bans me, )and continue being a cantankerous old git ,smoking my roll ups and not eating my 'Five a Day' or what ever bollxxxxs they come up with next, until my miss spent youth finally catches up with me.

Here here....and sorry but no ban as yet. We are but few now and your writing is worth every word to read :0)

Ha! Tis not about the numbers following, but the quality of the followers.

A son of a carpenter a few years ago had twelve blokes following him and look where that led to!

Mind you as some of them were fishermen they could have preached about conserving fish stocks, but there you go.

There again they were using gill nets in those days.

Says it all really.

But didn't those fisherman then leave their chosen profession and enter politics? As i recall it didn't end too well....
