It is still landing and killing fish, but its not just killing fish, which is what the quota system says has to happen. well it actually says any fish caught that are not in the vessels quota must be released, the chances of em still being alive after their swim bladders have ballooned like Ann Diamond's Waistline after a christmas buffet, is probably almost nil

the only truly sustainable commercial fishing method that is left in the north sea is long lining, but I'm sure the spanish boats would turn up with lines so long one end would be at fecking gibraltar

watched 2 russian factory ships hoover the minch dry a few years ago. all perfectly legitimate, baltic countries with eu permits entitled to the same number of fish as the rest of europe blah blah blah

here's a laugh, if switzerland joined the EU they would be entitled to a quota of 1.5millions per annum in exchange for 3 cuckoo clocks and some pointy chocolate (I might have made some of that up)

Back in the old days before we had boats we only ate Bullheeds and the odd Blenny and that was only us lot that lived near the sea. We do not need fish to survive. We should stop extincting them. There's always the soya bean. No-ones going to mourn the loss of countless acres of anonymous green topped legumes at the expense of our sawtoothed shiny scaled water breathing cousins. Innit

don't belive a word charlie says he's actually a hungarian turkey farmer whose diet consists solely of of witchety grubs and bark

The best Brandy in the world comes from India. Look for the marking IMFL on the label to confirm quality (Indian Made Foreign Liquor). It is fantastic as it only costs about hardly any money . Whiskey's bad enough but at least it's made by the scottish men.

...could you get me Bernard Mathews' autograph, before he gets banged up.....

 

[Charlie_Thompson]

Haway lads this is a serious thread.

I always get Bernard Mathews mixed up with Ted Moult for some reason. Both corpulent entrepeneurs I suppose. One still to commit suicide I suppose, give it a couple of days.

Yes he did, The ones were the huge frozen turkey smacked against the window and he never "battered" an eyelid.

I believe he blew own his head off with a gun.

that was definately bernard matthews, but he has actually battered many eyelids, and beaks and ring pieces and turkey phlegm, turkey twizzlers I believe they're know as amongst the common folk

[sless]

great thread this
it started off serious
then ell joined in and made is very funny
now back on topic

they should do the same to trawler men as they do with farmers
pay them for not catching owt
as farmers get payed fortunes for growing bugger all
leaving their land fallow

who knows eh

by the way ell

you crack me up

 

[Red5]

Got to agree with mark on his serious part of the topic....the rest of the stuff mentioned I couldn't comment on coz I'm sober.

The only way to get rid of the foreign boats is to leave the EU, but I really can't see us doing that. We all have our part to play if we want to continue fishing for cod from the shore, and if that means bag limits, then so be it, but there must be more emphasis on protection of stocks from the commercial vessels.
