Do I detect a slight listing to starboard on the good ship Barbel Society?

First we have a call for members to commit to fisheries permits, not just for this year but next also. Apparently there is something of a shortfall in covering fisheries rents due to poor take up and falling membership. More waters will go next term if the situation doesn’t improve. Do they know what to do about it? Do they buggery.

 Then Communications Manager Fred Bonney verbally abuses a longstanding member on the forum and the moderators see fit to impose a forum ban on him, how ironic is that? Dead right though.

 Steve Pope sees red and tries to get the moderators to reinstate his Southern brother resulting in all the mods resigning on mass. Fred, unable to post on the BS, takes out his frustration on another forum but just gets a thrashing, as usual.

Pope trys to recruit  new moderators but is told, “no thanks”……. Looks like its up to you Frampton……… what fun that would be, my word, it’s almost worth joining for.

 I feel it’s not over yet and if I were a betting man, which I am, I would say one or two names may yet walk the plank of their own free will..

 On second thoughts its more than a slight listing, there is a hole in the bow. Will Popey be able to shore it up?

Only a fool fails to see when enough is enough, time to leave the party.
