off their site: "More importantly, come and meet the entire ESA team. Get their autographs and hear what they have to say."

at least the chick says more than that, but then again it sounds like she is reading it from somewhere, assuming reading and writing is one of their talents:p

If she is reading her lines, then her reading ability is clearly not why she got the job :D

May I witness this event and check it's a proper barbed hook?
They're expecting over 20,000 people and it's also 4x4's and resorts etc - I'd rather have a quiet time with you gentle Gautie ffishing folk with another one or two of Rory's kegs...

You're on Wolf! I will be there...I was actually planning on visiting Andrew from Intrepid Fly there, to discuss some business. But will take a walk around of course, see if there's any other worthwhile fly fishing stands. I was going to exhibit...until I saw the stand prices per square meter...*gulp* :eek:
ON DAD!

Michael

When they hook a fish...they say "On Dad!"
Some guys say "Yes!"...."Inside!"..."That's him, Jim!"....
They say..."on Dad!"

Nevermind. It's a dropshot thing.
Matt - I AM a dropshotter. I have 1 blaasoppie and 1 hottentot to my name thank you very much! hehehe.

Some guys say "Yes!"...."Inside!"..."That's him, Jim!"....
They say..."on Dad!"
It doesnt make sence...i dont get it, why say on DAD ?
Grant what do you mean its a drop shot thing ?
Michael
23-10-07, 09:11 PM

I think it's just a Durban thing. Like..."One time"...or similar.
No One time is still fine, makes perfect sense. But , do they mean DAD as in father or does it get pronounced differently ?
Michael
23-10-07, 09:19 PM
No, they pronounce it like you normally say "Dad"...it's just an expression they invented.

I give up
Ok so lets invent our own one. Lets see some creativity here..:D

Good idea! The flytalk "strike" or "fish on" slogan!
i.e. Something like "Inside Sister!" (No...that just sounds wrong) :p
"Inside Sister!"
WHAHAHA classic, you cracked me up with that one !!!!! Good one

I've always been biased to "Kap hom Pappie"!!! Brakpan/Boksburg accent probably needs to be applied!!
I think your post got lost , its empty....:D

hehe - not yet - you have to catch a real fish before you can say it.
It's also the name of their boat...

Ohhh no, :eek:

Pierre, even the ski boat they fish off is called the On Dad. I don't even try and understand it.
I have caught myself shouting "Yes Please" when i'm into a fish. My mates and I started doing it as a laugh (just taking the p1ss when we where in Notties) but it stuck...

Byron, I've noticed that is one of your catch phrases when you hook fish, but I think with all respect you borrowed it from me as I shout that whenever Rory is offering draft beer..
I shout out 'More tea, Vicar?' whenever I'm lucky enough to hook a fish - something from my hazy Pommie days - don't ask me it's origin! I think it's a retort to when a Lager Lout is swearing his head off.
aaah of course - YES PLEASE - is just so universal. It applies to so many more things that men could be offered: Fish on the hook, Beer, Women ...
"On Dad" comes from a fishing trip they had where they took their sons with them. One of the young'ns hooked something decent and started shouting for his dad. Apparently...
I am a big fan of "Sak Sarel", "Over" (from Phil Kearns) or "Yes please) depending on which of my mates I'm fishing with :)

"more tea vicar" was used in the old parlour days when the host would want to steer the conversasion away from topics that where inapropriate if the vicar was present or when conversasion dryed up.
Today if you are in a room full of blokes and someone f@rts the call in a very upper class royal accent is "mooore tea vicar":D :D
depending on who you are fishing near - DURKA DURKA JIHAD - is also a favourite and bound get some hairy eyeballs

I'm starting to get worried about you lot - 'old parlour days' and 'queer night clubs'?? I think for Vaal % the two chalets should be divided between those of different gender preferences?:p
That's why I'm taking a tent - with a door that can lock. I realised there was a reason why on the last trip Ferdie "left his tent at home... "

you didn't look desperate enough :D
You also didn't look as though you were keen to trade a nice warm double bed with Tye in it for a muddy wet groundsheet?

Just don't fish with Sean Penn:D

I've always been partial to "That's him, Jim!" (pronounced "Thats'im, Jeem!")
When hooking a fish, or when a buddy blasts a 250m plus drive off the tee box.

'Top shop' is another odd but catching expression!
