It was meant as an exclamation of surprise and dismay Bernd.
Bloody Hell, bugger it, and bollocks all vary in meaning depending on the context they are used in. If a fish comes off I may throw the rod down in disgust while shouting 'bloody buggering bollocks' or I may just tut, it depends on how much I wanted the fish.

it's casting Jim, but not as we know it, according to EFFA

And we're not talking bollocks either, Bernd.

Well, bloody buggering bollocks, Will - I'll miss your pages.

Good Heavens, it's not particularly good that you are not wrting frontpages anymore.

That covers my feelings, I think.

Great flycasters don't think straight - they track straight.....

If it moves - and shouldn't, use duct tape...
If it's stuck - and should move, use WD40...

Thanks guys,
that indeed helps to understand. :)


When I ask my dictionary about the meaning of: "Bugger it." It offers me a translation into German, which I would translate back into english with: "I don't care."

So if Paul sais:

"Bollocks = bugger it, which is what Mike said, he just shortened it to "Bugger".

Then my dictionary seems to need a (in the) campfire-lesson, too! :)

p.s.: Will, wouldn't that be a great topic to come back with at least one more fp? ;)

That's not a good translation, Bernd, because you wouldn't say "bugger it" unless you did care. You could say, "Bugger it, I don't care any more", but even in that case you're caring about not caring.
