Analysis:
We're not reaching record lows on the vote front. Whilst I do agree that both fishing and cooking are best enjoyed with a beer, it is the mixing of the mash potatoes that reminds me more of fishing than anything else. Now, just to make sure there's no doubt in anyone's mind, mash potatoes come in a packet. We're not talking real potatoes that you cook and then mash away on here, but more of the stuff you mix like porridge. It is whilst delivering my expertise in instant mash that I think about mixing ground bait for fishing. The only difference being that the ground bait tastes nicer and is a lot more healthy for you. You don't think I'd feed crap to fish now do you?
