In fact Ian’s claim to fame is that he invented the “Brazilian” I thought he was on about football then when he offered to show me a few moves I said “go on then son, on me head” next thing I knew my trousers were round my ankles and he’d whipped out his cutthroat razor and shaved me goolies in a flash!!

“Suits you Sir” he said as he brushed of the bristles, a quick splash of Old Spice aftershave, made my eyes water, “Something for the weekend” he piped up, once a hairdresser always a hairdresser I say. Still more on those two and our trip next issue. Ian’s out now shopping for my wardrobe, he really loves his job!! The “Skids” in court next week, it’s alleged that the part he played in Dougie does Dallas” offended a few people, plus a few other actors as well, hopefully he’ll get a not guilty, that bleedin Steven Gerrard did!!

Just flicked through Ian’s appointment book, looks like Amy Winehouse is booked in for a short back and sides at 3pm,

see I am booked in with Ian next week, for a “back sack and crack” that don’t sound like carp fishing to me.

Couple more tips for fishing in the silt lighter leads with bigger P.V.A bags, so the bait is feathered down onto the lake bed, a lump of crust, foam or those Solar style carp nuggets of soluble foam in the bag as well help, cushion landing, and when the foam/crust pops to the top use it as a marker to fire some bait around. After breakfast collect the left over crust from the bread to make your P.V.A bags more buoyant, that’s what I do!!
