I cannot thank Lee Swords enough for this fabulous review in which he reveals a glimpse of what lies between the covers. If you are fancying a copy for Christmas, please don’t hang around. Barely 200 copies remain.

It had to happen sooner or later. My first ever podcast. And being blessed with a face for radio it was perhaps a wise move to make my podcast debut in an audio format one with Keith Arthur! Enjoy it. Plenty in it there for some to disagree with. Indeed had I said nothing at all there are one or two internet warriors more than willing to disagree with that, too. Strange world, eh? But so long as it provokes healthy debate and discussion, that’s fine by me. Problem I had was I kept forgetting we were recording, it was just like a regular phone call with a mate, which it was.

Who remembers the good old days before digital photography? When the serious angler used slide film. It wasn’t cheap, was it? You eked film out till you had 36 shots to develop. Then you posted it off to the lab and prayed it didn’t get lost in the post.

Well, I learned there was another pitfall. This slide film was developed in the wrong chemicals, intended for print film, not slide.

I could have cried. In the space of a few weeks I had landed perhaps 15 of my best 10 roach of all time up to that moment. OMG. I can’t explain the sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach that left.

Oh well, you brush yourself down and press on. Catch some more. Anyone else have any horror stories to tell?
