What is the point of fishing?

I've just collected my reject gnome from the pub!

There are two points for fishing
1. It gets husbands (mostly) from under their wives/partners feet
2. It's gets husbands/partners some piece and quiet.
A bit like golf really.

I m with you Shysal think it not a nice thing at all and don't buy the fish are fine bit ifs its proved they don't feel pain in their mouths I ll accept that because I don't know but for a fish to be flung out of its environment and struggle to breath seems horrible I m sure you are all environmentally friendly people on here and put them in a net in the water but many don't I have seen them writhing around and being only half killed I can only see a point in it if they are instantly killed and taken home to cook

!!! That was a really nice message I posted to Eliza! Why has that been deleted?!

Elegran, Merlot aand Granny23 - I hope you are safely tucked behind the sofa or you could come and join us- rods and bait entirely optional.

Those hooks do get stuck into your fingers when you cast the line, though, Soutra and they hurt. I think I will just go to the fishmongers and buy some cod or haddock, or perhaps a good red herring.

That's too enigmatic.

That's me - not you Elegran!

Or as they say in France "ca sent le poisson"

Secundo la misura che farai, misurartor anchor servo.

Yeah! My point entirely. [hmm

iPad doesn't like Italian

Misurator

Ancor

Sigh! No wonder I couldn't find it in Google.

Failed completely to find any translation for that. I suspect you made it up as you went along.

Is that with or without parmesan?

The north-east monsoons they can safely anchor half a league from the coast.

How profound...

Eh?

I quite like fishing but not phishing,

Elegant, I have sent you the translation.

Elegran Sorry iPad strikes again.

I think Elegant is rather a felicitous typo- dont you?

Thank you, MiceElf I am still not all that clear about what it means but I think I shall stop puzzling about it for tonight.

I like your Ipad's image of me.
