Scottish Game Fair

[Wildfisher]

Not really my bag, but anyone  going this year?  I believe it's this weekend.  Only £20  to get in plus £5 to park.

Makes me laugh a fiver to park !

I was considering it as I'd heard that they were revamping fisherman's row, however the website does not sell it well. Then I saw the prices, think i'll take to the hills instead.

£25 for a few hours amongst the Ruperts & Torquils and their tail-free spaniels at the Scottish game fair or £16 for a day ticket on The Don at Kildrummy?

Mmmmm, let me see now,  have to think about that one  :think2

I'll not be going, it only encourages them to wear more tweed. Paying for the privilege must be a form of self harm.

As for spaniels, as Irvine Welsh said' Nicky Sturgeon Puppy surgeon' has a 'Margaret Thatcher Milk Snatcher' ring to it

Quite wise IMO. It's supposed to be very scratchy against the skin. Of course I could also go and watch someone tie elaborate flies  I would never use from outrageously expensive materials, but The Don at Klldrummy is still looking like the better buy.

Could be a good day to go fishing right enough. All the Tweed lovers will be at the game fair

I suppose you'll have to try out your rod too, someone has to do it

Indeed. However I might be missing out on the chance of material for tying that timeless salmon fishing favourte The Spaniel's Tail.

The distinctly derogatory tone to this applies and very broad brush to a group of people with contains a great number of very pleasant and likable people. Posts of this nature possible say more about the author than they do about the subject.

well for what it's worth, i think we're going...

the forecast isn't wonderful and we're a bit fed up with damp & cold gardening. so it'll be interesting to see if they have managed to re-vamp it. either way, i'm sure we'll have fun. even if it only provides me with the opportunity to be scathingly derogatory afterwards!  :lol:
