Re: bray harbour 13/2/2010
I have removed posts related to captain AHAB comment. (wrong type of response)
His (captain AHAB) comments did contain a smiley and should be taken as it was written.
Anglers put bait on hooks to catch fish.
Sometimes posters put bait on posts to catch other posters.
Me, I just Mod, if I'm hungry I go to the fridge
