Tried banging it?

Yes. I agree. What I meant is they would be grateful for whatever they could get, such as bycatch which only goes to show how lucky we are.

Fortunately or not, we are all in a world where for most countries there is an abundance of choice & demand of what to eat. If this were not so, the bananas would be eaten black, the salmon would be whatever colour salmon naturally is & animal welfare would improve....cos we'd all have to raise...

Russ, couldn't agree more, no good getting all moral about fish or free range chickens unless we scrutinise all meat, fish, poultry rearing methods. Crusade for one, crusade for all. If it ain't congruent, don't buy it. Thats my mantra from now on. Most had turkey this xmas, but how many thought...

Thanks for that, will watch or tape it. I'm the same with fish, salmon, trout, rare tuna etc, going to Madeira again soon where the speciality is Scabbard fish, killed by decompression as it is hauled from the deep, looks like a black pike, fleshy like cod...fantastic! But yes, I'd prefer fish...

Thanks for the clarification, but if they went to a catch all situation then would there not be a danger of pulling more fish species in than there is popular demand for and then ending up with a glut of waste anyway, or would that never happen, don't forget the public are a fickle bunch.

Totally agree storm, used to fish myself, no longer do for belief reasons (& live next to a river) but unless I missed something then why could the bycatch not be returned live? Too much trouble?

just a thought, but although the bycatch is thrown to the sea, it is consumed by fish and birds etc plus the nutrients go back to the sea. Not like a landfill situation is it? Are the trawlermen really upset about the loss of bycatch or loss of money? Is it a moral issue or a monetary one...

Yeah, terrible conditions, kept in the dark and fed bul#¥§it. Sounds familiar. Lol. Dtg.

"When the last river has been polluted, the last tree felled, the last animal shot and the last fish caught, then man will find out that he cannot survive by eating money." (or something like that) Dtg.

Told that to everyone here, all guessing for ages, thought it funny until "ben the boffin" from next door said all roundabouts usually go clockwise so the drop is on the left.... There's always one isn't there?

Being a buddhist, materialism is out for me, but I do make sure everyone else in the family have a good time. If I get a gift, great, if not, It would matter not a jot. Spent one of the days week before xmas making sure oap neighbours had all they needed because of the snow. Always easy to take...

Two chaps out hunting in the middle of nowhere. Suddenly one chap has difficulty breathing & collapses. The other chap panics & phones the Emergency services. "My mate`s collapsed, I think He's dead." "Now calm down" says the operator, we need to be sure". "Wait a minute" says the hunter. All...

BLOW LAMP Used to solder copper pipes etc, but also has a tendency when knocked over to roll across the floor, STILL LIT, and with an inbuilt self guidance system, to disappear under the nearest raised floorboard and roll out of reach, inducing panic, hysteria & the phrase "Oh...

BALL PANE HAMMER A useful hammer for many jobs, however care needs to ensue if it is swung carelessly downward from overhead, because if the target is missed, then one can see where said object might get its name.

CORE DRILL Device for cutting a perfectly neat core of stone. Also useful for either converting your arms into a fascinating barley twist design or trying to spin your body like a catherine wheel while holding its own core cutter perfectly still....miraculous.

Rastas & Liza have been trying for a baby for years but no success. Liza tells Rastas to go to the doctors to get checked out. She meets Rastas walking back up the street after seeing the doctor. He is wearing a pinstriped suit, gold fobwatch, bowler hat & cane. She says "Rastas, why's you...

Quality!

Might have been married to an egg farmer, might have been chocolate eggs, who knows? I was only half listening, she might have worked in prosthetics & it was legs not eggs. Lol. Dtg.

Joe's wife is on her deathbed. She says" Joe, there is something for you in the drawer under the bed." He opens the drawer and there is 3 eggs and a wad of cash. Joe asks about the eggs. His wife says" Each time we had crap sex, I put an egg in the drawer as a reminder." Joe thinks "Blimey, 35...
