    Hi ant,

    A TV programme came on this forum to do a £1 million pound prize for the best pond and after looking through all the pics on the forum they said yours was best and asked for your contact details to give you the million quid.

    Obviously we had to tell them you'd turfed over it now and then they disqualified you.

    Real shame that.

    Other than that things are great. No new inventions or Goodies in the last year, just a new pump out from Jebao lol.

    hi ant hope your well mate

    can you give us all a answer to a question. i hear you sold frim your filter that you built yourself.
    did it take a very long time, reason for asking.
    is if it did.
    there must be something to do with the filter.
    as frims QT is taking for ever to build. either the filter. is unlicky. or FRIM is a lazy Barsteward


    Anyway ant I hope you and the family are all keeping well mate. take care of yourself and stay in touch

    Didnt even know you had wrapped it in ant, sorry to hear that.
    Honestly though i think i would be the other way to yourself i know i would miss mine ALOT.
    Not much going on really, no new news from me really hence the lack of attendance on here for the last year. Im pretty much fully recovered from all the ops and stuff now though so roll on this year.

    Glas your keeping well!
    Maybe abit of strange question but how come you don't miss the pond and fish? Was it the constant maintenance and venturing out in the cold ?

    Hi Ant,

    Not heard from you for a few weeks now. How's the model ship coming along?

    I keep trying to get on with the QT but so many things keep getting in the way at the moment - most of which is the stuff in the garage plus man flu at the moment.

    I never said he sold it to me Fred, I tried to offer him something for it but he wouldn't take anything for it and when I mentioned it on the QT thread I just refer to it as the one that Ant made or something along those lines.
