Popular Post Odyssey Posted January 30 Popular Post Share Posted January 30 (edited) Shout out to Ian @GPSguru for the quick delivery/dispatch from Lyme Bay Tackle. Ordered Sunday night, dispatched Monday, with me today and all a great price (cheapest by a long way) Big shout out! (First 50 here, the other 25 to follow 🙂 ) Eagle claw hooks are excellent, I know we all have our favourites but these are my preferred hooks for all my big fish fishing (I do use another companies hook but find not quite as sharp as these) Ian has got a great range of kit, well worth a look 🙂 Now time to start making a few rigs for the summer 🙂 Edited January 30 by Odyssey Geoff, JonC, Dicky and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont be leg dropping anything for a while. just before xmas I stood on a glass bauble thing whilst putting up lights in the conservatory, and sliced the heel of my left foot. Lots of blood and cursing, but up until this week it was still painful to walk on an just would not heal. So I got an appointment with the hospital podiatrist and she proceeded to dig this out from deep in the wound. It is better to walk on and should now heal.🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPSguru Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 7 minutes ago, jonnyswamp said: How the fack didn't you know that was in there Well, I couldn't see the wound without mirrors, but I dressed it with iodine and a very tight bandage to stop the bleeding (there was lots of blood). After a couple of days I took the bandage off and got the Mrs to look at it, and she took out a small obvious piece of glass. I would be OK in the morning, and it would get progressively more painful as the day went on, but the wound was refusing to heal, and over a month had passed since the injury. The Mrs was getting worried about infection setting in. I went for a routine blood test at the surgery and the nurse looked at it and decided I was high risk due to being immunosuppressed and mild type 2 diabetic, so she sent a message to Podiatry, who rang me within 24 hours and arranged an appointment for a couple of days later. The podiatrist quickly saw the issue and did the business, although she did offer to send me to a surgeon, I told her to get on with it. She gave me a bollocking ! , which I probably deserved. It feels heaps better now. jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 @GPSguru could you please try to keep this one on topic, Luke has posted to tell us about some guy that sells tackle and you have completely ruined it by telling us about your poor little foot. It serves you right anyway for stamping on the Christmas decorations like some pound shop Grinch. Andy135 and GPSguru 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
