Good Luck Chris!

Persevere and you'll get there
 
Good luck Chris

I had a health scare 3 weeks ago and found out my ticker is not very well:( I am now on day 14 without a ciggie and i'm starting to feel better for it already. After smoking for 33 years i was expecting to struggle but i'm finding much easier than i thought:) although the wife may not agree:D
I have also had to change my diet which is what i am finding really difficult, why does healthy food taste crap and all the bad stuff is food heaven.

Keep it up and tight lines.
I'm looking forward to St Abbs/Eyemouth:)

its abugger aint it

its abugger aint it

Hi mate,do what i am doing open the wallet,get yourself a big bottle that will take a coin dropped into it,i am finding it a bit harder with the fags than you,at the minute ive got a pot with 20p peices in it every time i want a fag i drop the money in..........imagine this im working on our gig in the borders at the minute,thats between 40 and fifty days away,thats at least £240 quid between now and then,thats a shed load of and bait and lures,for the £6.50 a day that goes up in smoke in tabs:D im a trained chef mate,just pm me what you like to eat and i will come up with cheaper healthier options using fresh stuff,if you need to combine your meals,im also a bit of a whizz with menus to help with cholestrol and stuff,just shout mate:yltype:
 
bobbing

bobbing

theres no better therapy than bobbing on a boat,or sitting on a rock,the tabs thing came home when i found it hard to climb up hairy ness at the back of eyemouth,or the trek down to st abbs head,it was easier 20 or even ten years ago,want to be rock hopping alot more yet,incentive me thinks:D
 
Good luck with it lads! I've got a whole bunch of mates (as probably we all do) who have giving up the demon and although tough to do so in the beginning, they all claim its the best thing they've ever done and their health is better for it, and you can see physically they are as well!!!!! I'm sure you'll get plenty of support on here and I can imagine the thrill of been able to count 3650 pound saved by the end of the year!! Converted to monster cod off Norway, that has got to be one massive incentive to pack it in!!!!

wok you wan
 
Best thing that ever happened IMO was banning smoking in public. i smoke but it got banned at work so don't light up until I get back which may be around 6, then it's got to be the back garden as wor lass banned me from smoking in the house several years ago. So I don't have a tab until 6 at night after work and may go through around 5 or 6 in the evening, makes me think like that I should be able to chuck it easy, only problem is when I go fishing I'm like a f****n chimmney.lol:D lucky it's only once a week like.

chinese

Hi lads,the bugger with chinese cooking is the mono sodium glutemate,its a totalley different taste for us in the west,thats why stuff like sweet and sour king prawns,or chicken in black bean sauce is so feckin addictive,its used as a thickening agent for the sauce and a flavour additive,it also thickens the arterys and if you are prone to it heightens the risk if youve got a dodgey ticker and aint to much good if youve got probs on the bum pointing to the big bowl front,alot of noodles are made from wheat which is bad for some people,go for rice noodles if you can,not as tasty but the sauce takes up the slack,a sweet and sour sauce i make for a lot ot of punters goes like this,tomato ketchup,brown sauce,worcesthire sauce,a touch of light soy sauce,and some sweet chilli sauce,garlic,and a small amount of fresh ginger,onions,and mushrooms,hoy it into a pan or wok then add your chicken prawns or beef (finely sliced if its meat or chicken) add tinned pineaple at the end jobs a good un,its sounds a bit of a faff,but takes amount the same time as ringing the chinese take away in the first place,cheers chris

healthy eating/getting a fishing pass for the weekend

healthy eating/getting a fishing pass for the weekend

Hi lads and to billyturbot in paticular,this is a spectacular method ive used in the past to get a weekend away fishing,it requires a cunning forward thinking plan.firstly the week end before you go away(having checked tides booked boats or have the beach gear ready) you do this:D
1)cancel the bingo at the social club on the saturday night,buy some swanky white wine(at least a£5.99 bottle)and splash on some brut and announce to your lass im cooking tonight:D
2)goto the supermarket get two rainbow trout from the fish counter,get some,rosemary,thyme(plants if you can)they keep champion in the garden or on a windowsill,buy a lemon,heat your oven to 220 bung some herbs in the gut cavity along with some lemon,bung it in a baking dish,slice more lemon a splash of olive oil rock salt and black pepper turn halfway through after ten minutes,5 mins later the jobs a good un,serve with whatever you want,new potatoes brocolli carrots etc the same also works with small coalie,salmon,cod etc
3)tell your lass your going fishing next weekend and this is what she can expect if you get a weekend pass for fresh fish next week,because your now a fisherman/healthy eating provider,ands its for my health etc etc
4)emphasise it is exercise after all,and you pet can watch x factor/reality show without me being under your feet
5)when that plan backfires stick two ragworms up your nose and wander home early monday morning before the graft,looking windswept and interesting,she will then buy you a tent
6)im going to put something on the site on how to cook the stuff we catch,just got to get time to doit:Dcheers chris
