Yeah it definitely is a tricky one as it took me a few seconds to realise. I've always been quite interested in space though so I have decent knowledge of it and the moons each planet has, but it is definitely an easy one to get confused with .

I was thinking "this girl is good", until she was asked which planet has 1 moon and she said Jupiter . The chaser had a howler too when asked which species of animals were affected by avian malaria and he said mammals. In saying that, they get far more correct than I ever would We need to get @nudge on here.

Classic @Teso dos Bichos @JOSHBRFC

I forgot to say, that I saw a dead dog in the tidal part of the river the other day while I was on my brew at work. It looks like a calf in the photo, but was definitely a dog. Looked like an American bulldog to me, or maybe even a Pitbull. I reported it to both the coppers and the Environment agency, but I'm not sure whether they got it out or not. I would have dragged it out myself but it would have meant walking over quick sand and fuck that.

Nah, they will all be female knowing Stan.

Great video and it almost doesn't look real. Incredible. What fascinates me about Geese is that they look as though they are struggling when they fly due to their shape and size(just like Swans), but they can travel for 1,000s of miles and certainly don't struggle doing the long distances!

Whenever I hear those sounds it reminds me of night fishing. You always hear them calling at night. Especially on my recent trip down south, where I even got to see one, which is rare. You usually always hear them but rarely actually see them.

@nudge

I'm not big on fish myself apart from white fish like Haddock and Cod. I will eat tuna as well, but other than that I'd prefer just to catch(and release) fish than eat them.

Since we were fishing mate, takeaways and cooking greasy shit on a stove is what we pretty much lived off. But it's probably for the best that we didn't go in any restaurants anyway when you consider the prices of the "cheap food" down there . The prices in tescos and places like that weren't any different though. We go specimen hunting, which is why we go for days on end as you have to due to the fact that these fish are tricky to catch and become wise. It can be frustrating to sit not catching for long periods, but when that bite alarm starts screaming off and your reel starts smoking, there is a massive buzz and thrill. I also don't mind doing a bit of lure fishing on canals as it means you end up walking about 3 miles while covering areas and you get to see things which you wouldn't normally see. Sitting there float fishing for smaller fish(but ones which give you a fight) such as carp from 5-10lb or something is also great fun and for some, sea fishing or fly fishing is the one. So there are many different aspects to fishing and thre may be a style out there that would interest you. But it's definitely not just about sitting on a box all day drowning a worm. If I was @Danny for example, I would be doing some deep sea fishing in Australia, or atleast hitting some lakes as the fishing out there will be unreal. The only downside to fishing is the amount of money you spend. It's not a cheap hobby by any means . As I've said up there also, the amount of wildlife you see, that you wouldn't normally do so is amazing. How many times do you see a grass snake randomly swimming in the margins? It was brilliant. I actually have a small video of that, but it was hard to get as it started swimming away quickly when it saw me.

It's too expensive for us. Even 6 days down there rapes your pockets dry..

You meet tons of Southerners up north but I didn't come across a single Northerner down there. It's not the first time I've been south of course, but it's the first time I've been to that part of the South and it was beautiful. The countryside and woodlands up there are incredible. As for the fish(which was the reason for going there), I caught a 60lb Catfish, it was fucking huge and about 5 feet long, I will upload a picture later. I only caught 2 carp and lost 6 big ones, which pissed off as most would have broken my personal best but that 60lb Catfish is the biggest fish I've ever caught by a mile. My mate had a blinder. His old personal best carp was 22lb and on that trip he had a 31,27,25 and 24, along with a 37lb catfish. Good on him. As a lover of wildlife I also got to see a Red Kite for the first time, in fact I saw 4, there was a Tawny owl making noises at night in the tree behind my tent, which I also saw flying one evening, saw a dead badger and another badger running across the road, I saw a Grass snake swimming for the first time and also ended up making some new mates:- 4 little ducklings. There were also a lot of bats at night that were eating all the mosquitos from in front of our faces, they were brilliant. And it's the first lake I've fished on where there are no rats at night. Plenty of mice, but no rats. 9 quid for burger, chips and a can of coke in a takeaway is an absolute joke though. Everything is overpriced down there . The fish and chips were also shit, especially the batter and no gravy is just silly. You get better chippies in touristy parts of Spain! I'm surprised at how quickly we got back last night, it only took 5 hours as opposed to the 7 it took to get there. The only downside was not visiting more places down there, as it was a fishing holiday and we spent 5 days camped out on a lake, which was a great experience though. We are going again next year, probably in May. As for speaking French in France, we were all supposed to do that when on a school trip there back in the day. It never worked out that way though. I think I only used Bonjour...different in Spain though now as my knowledge of Spanish is very good, albeit not as good as a few years back when I'd been doing some hard-core studying for years. @carefreeluke you are right mate, Andalucians have always seemed friendly to me.

Down in Kent mate, but spent Sunday night in Hastings, west Sussex.

He always will be unfortunately. Which is a shame as he's so important in other areas.

This trip down south has been class so far. We are currently having a few beers while watching bats catching midges and mosquitos literally inches from our faces. All 3 of us have caught fish so far too. Even though I joke with @Danny, @SirBalon, @The Palace Fan, @Bluewolf, etc, southerners are among the most friendly people in general. I've got to say though, that whenever down south, I feel as though my Northern accent stands out like fuck and sounds cringey haha. @nudge I also have 4 ducklings that are pretty much living in my tent during the day and the mother doesn't care. They are tame as fuck too. Pictures to come...

Is there a stronger starting 11 "on paper" right now? What do people think? @SirBalon, @Cannabis, @El Profesor, @carefreeluke, @Cicero, @Kowabunga What is interesting about this side is the sudden depth of the squad. On the bench we are looking at players like Cilessen, Lenglet, Semedo, Arthur, Vidal, Rafinha, Malcom, Munir...That's a lot of depth and they are all young with a lot ahead of them. Some of which have potential to be first team regulars, especially Arthur, who you'd expect to see a lot of pitch time this season. All the 'deadwood' has gone this summer as well, so there has been a nice clear-out, which is refreshing. Hopefully we get to see enough of young Miranda as well, who has the potential to be the future left back for years to come. I still do think that another season or 2 in the B team, with Cucurella(who is not as talented, but more experienced) might have made sense for the time-being, although time will tell in how much pitch time Miranda will get. Alba certainly needs the slack taken off him a bit for me and it's come to a time where the likes of himself, Messi and Busquets could probably do with more rest than in the past, in order to keep them fresh for the big ones. I'd like to see Rafinha get more minutes than Vidal as well. He's earned them for me and with him being from La Masia and a player who has always wanted to make it at the club, he deserves them.

@JOSHBRFC Dialect is still going I see. Whatever happened to Don't Flop anyway? Did they pretty much go bankrupt/Eurgh ripped everyone off or something along those lines? I stopped watching it for ages as I got a bit bored of it so I never really kept up with it towards the end.

Goalkeepers: Ter Stegen & Cilessen Defenders: Pique, Umtiti, Semedo, Alba, Semedo, Roberto, Lenglet, Miranda & Vermaelen Midfielders: Coutinho, Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur, Rafinha, Vidal, Denis & Aleña Forwards: Messi, Suarez, Dembele, Malcom & Munir Just need to get rid of Paco Alcacer now(for this own good) and that is a complete squad for me, with no real deadwood. Valverde has a strong squad there at his disposal.

I didn't expect that haha. Very different from Shotty. It's decent that though.

@DeadLinesman They should unleash big Ben in this

It's good to see all La Liga's stadiums finally on Fifa and to be honest it does show the moves they are making in Spain nowadays in terms of marketing. A lot I don't agree with, but they really do seem to be making moves to making La Liga a big product. La Liga tv is another thing.

Great idea and good luck with it mate as it seems like a passion of yours and you should stick at it.

It's been shite here lately. We had months of no rain and now it's back to normal northern weather. It's been decent this afternoon though. To be honest though I suppose the weather will be mixed. We'll be there for 5 days so we will likely see all types of weather. 5 days around a lake, I will be cracking up after it.
