I met a machinist recently who described a mauser 98 action as "a nice trade piece, for an apprentice" !! How much do i wish I'd been that apprentice.

Jeremiah Quinn swears there are trout in Leeds he even has a page on his site about his home river just outside Leeds
His site is linked off the fishing section of my blog roll, if you haven't already defiantly put some time aside for a good read this weekend, top chap, hilarious turn of phrase in print and on the river bank.
