Oily fish is like your V-Power. It'll clean your insides and keep your system going.
Deep fried cod n chips, well that's more like your E10 🤪

Actually, that's rubbish. Forget I said it. Mackerel costs next to nothing. Cod is over £5 a fish at my local chippy.
 
Mullet and crabs too.
I like mackerel; not every day but I can manage it twice a week (He said with a blush.)
Once a king always a king but once a knight's enough.

I live on the coast and can remember doing the same as Simon. Six hooks (or feathers) and six fish nearly every time. They were such big shoals when I was a kid that out of the six it wasn't unusual to foul hook one or more.
If you have a few over try making a fish stew with some. A bit like Cullen Skink or Bouillabaisse.

You mean this lol, it's a little project I've been working on for a while, work stalled when my wife's health took a serious nose dive. Hope to get back to it sometime soon

Today, after cleaning my van now that the rain has finally stopped for a while, I noticed that despite my best endeavours of degreasing the area with bartolines best meths, and very carefully applying my lovely nismo badge to the rear, it's decided to debond 😭.
I see the problem, there's a curve in the rear panel and I should have bent the badge slightly before applying.
In my juvenile haste I neglected to do it though, so now I'm faced with a dilemma. Do I chuck it in the bin and grow up?
Do I attempt to fix it again using some more 3m tape?
Or do I just buy another badge and face the guaranteed mocking from my wife?
🤔

A mates mate has this in Gdansk, sadly he passed away earlier in the year so not sure what will happen to it as it was away for restoration the last I heard.

No need to apologise Ian! 🤪

'As mentioned on the Mackerel Reference page, mackerel like a good water flow, therefore shoals can be found around headlands, breakwaters, piers and even reefs. It has been known for mackerel to shoal around sewage outfalls. ... This effect is seen when mackerel are feeding.'

Nope, I have a dislike well hatred of Russians during WWII as they tried to murder most of my Mothers family and sent them to a Death Camp in Siberia, the irony is the German invasion of Russia probably saved them as they managed to get out with the Polish Army to sanctuary in Persia.
