Stunning! Looking forward to taking you roach fishing; any fish would be honoured to be caught by your new reel, they'll be queuing up for a look!

It'll never float.

My envy gauge is off the scale - simply a thing of beauty.

If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.
