And our women call us inconsiderate?
January 29, 2008 in Humour, Relationships
The Day Tripper blogs a 16-point checklist for preparing yourself ahead of the new season and where do our soulmates come?
Number Two.
That’s right. Sixteen things with which to tax ourselves, yet Significant Others rank second in importance only to flies.
“Do some extra chores around the house and encourage the Mrs. to go shopping, or out with her friends. This will pay off huge during the season when the grass is almost knee high and you’re going fishing for the 10th day in a row.”
I trust you’re now seeing me in a whole new light, Mrs Taunted.

Quote of the day
" "Perhaps a century ago, the Reverend Canon Greenwell of Durham, England, bought faith to his congregation. He also brought a trout fly, Greenwell's Glory, which is still used today. His sermons, however, have been long forsaken to the passage of time" - source unknown

About Me
Taunted By Waters is what Trout Fisherman features editor Jeffrey Prest gets up to between salary negotiations.
Much as he'd like the credit for this play on the famous last words in A River Runs Through It, the real hero is Hannah Nordhaus, who coined the phrase in an article on her first try at flyfishing, for Rocky Mountain News. This blog is dedicated to her. The good bits, anyway.

It’s not all fish, fish, fish…
Overheard this week in the Trout Fisherman office...
"All my practical jokes involve winches and pulleys"
"I think my fingers are putting on weight"
"Why would anyone send me an envelope of WD40?"
"Do you have any morality whatsoever?"
"I work in Sales..."
"I don't have a fetish for leather but three weeks wearing a jacket like that and I could soon develop one"
"I'm going to come over there and give you a step-dad style smacking"
"'EastEnders' is sooo powerful when you're hungover"
"A fishing competition in aid of prostate cancer relief was won by someone called Alecock?! Could someone double-check that, please...?"
"We're all wingeing a lot more since she joined the office..."
"Five million tons of trout food a week?! Too **** right it's a typo...!!"
