This video is making the rounds and my first thought was,
damn, this is His Loony Mikeness' doppelganger captured
on video. This is Connor style hysterical hysteria and
she *means it*. ;-)

Unfortunately (fortunately?) I had the sound turned down. Talk about
pathetic. Wait 50 years and her great grandchildren will dig this up
and ask about it.

What a pathetic and disturbing display. Just the sort of thing that a
sick ****bag like Fortenberry would enjoy. I switched it off after the
first sentence.

Makes one wonder how much crap like that the guy watches? How about
it Kenny boy, that how you bolster your poor little ego? Watching
disturbed people suffer in public?

Beneath contempt.

It does nothing to bolster my ego but yeah, I have been
reading your roff posts lately and that is definitely
watching a disturbed person suffering in public. It's
human nature I guess, to slow down and look at the car
wreck.

Well Kenny boy, what do you imagine most people are thinking about you
posting **** like this to ROFF? They think you must be quite mad. No
rational person would be so obsessed with trying to hurt or upset
somebody, or use such a disturbing and unfortunate piece of material
to do it.

The only reason for a totally inadequate little **** like you to do
something like that is to bolster your own ego, and to damage somebody
else. That is quite obvious to everybody.

Apart from finding such material extremely distasteful, and
considering those who watch it for enjoyment to be the worst kind of
voyeuristic perverts, it has absolutely no effect on me. If you were
rational Kenny boy, and not being forced into desperate measures by
your own inadequacy, that would be perfectly clear to you.

You canīt harm me Kenny boy, but you can harm yourself, and you are
doing a sterling job of it.

Your inadequacy forces you to do **** like this. This is also quite
obvious to everybody. In the meantime, you have hurt and insulted so
many people, that they donīt even feel sorry for you. They just wish
you would disappear. You are an embarrassment and a disgrace to
anybody who knows you, and you will never have a friend.

Attacking and denigrating others does not make you look better Kenny
boy, it merely shows everybody what you are. I donīt feel the least
bit sorry for you, indeed I hope you choke on your own venom. Your
hate and your inadequacy will continue to eat at your guts until it
destroys you, and as I already noted elsewhere, it will serve you
right.

I would imagine most folks think it funny as hell. Especially
those who've been the target of a His Loony Mikeness tirade
themselves.

You're in a deep, deep hole Mike and you're forgetting the
first law of finding yourself in a deep, deep hole. I will
confess to tossing in a new shovel now and then but you're
the one doing all the digging.

Please, do carry on.

Hi Mike,

I humbly seek any advice you might be able to offer me.

When would a good time to come to London be, if I could find a way to
get off to fish? I wonder about fishing from the beach as much as any
flowing water.

I ask because I am scheduling a class at some time in the future
that's fairly flexible (2-4 months out) so any help would be very much
appreciated.

Would it be just too much of a hassle to be worth it or could it be
something cool? If I recall, it was you that showed me (years ago) how
to tie that baltic sea worm through twisting? Love to chuck some of
those bad boys, though I actually did cast one just the other day for
bass, though it was on one of those 107 degree days that everything
was working, so I opted for a popper.

Thanks very much,

Tim

Oh, the fishing at most of London's beaches is almost exactly like the
fishing at Denver's beaches (some say it's more like Kansas City, but I
disagree), so any time you'd try to fish at one, you can attempt to fish
at the other...

If it's a geography class, don't wait boy, start today, NOW, get goin'
son

It is a long time since I was last in London Tim, and the fishing in
the area was neither very good, nor what you might be used to. There
are various reservoirs dotted around which one pays to fish on an
hourly or daily basis. These are usually stocked with force fed
rainbows, and occasionally, brown trout. Some so called "coarse"
fishing ( for species other than salmonids), is available, which is
usually traditionally catch and release. This is usually done with
various baits, although there are a few places where one may fly-fish
for Pike, perch etc, it is not done much, and many places will be
private water which you can only get on per invitation.

There is some river fishing, within relatively easy reach of London,
but it is expensive and difficult to come by.

As fishing destination generally, London is a poor choice. If you
wanted to get the flavour of some reasonable fishing in England, then
I would suggest you get a guide like this for a day;

http://www.famousfishing.co.uk/corpo...ly_fishing.htm

http://www.corporateflyfishing.com/index2.htm I know Carl very well
and have fished with him on the Baltic and elsewhere. he is a
brilliant caster and instructor, and I can recommend him without any
reserve. I have no idea what he charges, but if you e-mail
( ) and mention I told you to, he may be
able to give you a good deal.

You will be able to fish some famous rivers, and also learn a lot if
you so wish, from some very skilled people.This however is not
exactly cheap.

Ocean fishing near London is a waste of time. The fish stocks are so
low that you would be unlikely to catch anything anyway.

Those are the only reasonable alternatives really. There may be a
Roffian or two who can give you more and better info for "going it
alone" near London. Mr,McPherson who posted here recently might be
able to help you out, as he is in the general area. If nobody replies,
then try posting the same question on this board;

http://www.flyforums.co.uk/

There are quite a number of people there who will be able and willing
to help you out.

I may have been unclear in my question. That I would need to travel
from London is a given. My thought was to take advantage of being
there to see the country and taking a few extra days off from business
(train?). The links, Mike, are very much appreciated as is the
information. When I posted earlier, too, I recall the magazine
WaterLog and the idea of sitting down with a flask and a roache pole
is not out of the realm of possibilities either!

Thanks guys,

TBone
