Loey the fly and his mates were certainly affected, those guys did the bolt as soon as the Mortein made an appearance!

Imagine the lawsuits for pain and suffering those guys could have done!

Oh My God!!!!


Would the site inspector prefer a hook jammed up the worms date and dangled in the deep blue for some fish to gobble up ..... and then we'd have the problem of the hook getting jammed through the fishes top lip or worse.... it would swallow it. Oh, the trauma of if all....... :

Sounds like the worst case of "Job Justification" that I have ever heard of. What an obsolute joke the inspector is.

I have heard it all now! The older I get, the more the world gets bent out of shape with it's political correctness. Where will we draw the line people?

What is the world coming to? Utter ruin by the looks of things.

50,000 or so homeless people in Melbourne tonight and some goose feels pity for worms. Next they'll ban the use of worms for fishing!

Why can't some people get some decent perspective on life?
