Last Sunday's Sunday Mail

[Motorbike Man]

Hi folks,

I know this is a bit off topic, but on last Sunday's Sunday Mail there was a freebie dvd which was The Wild Geese. I don't suppose by any chance anyone still has a copy of this that they haven't thrown away yet have they?

 

[Motorbike Man]

No worries, I think I'm sorted

I'd be very suprised if many people on here read the mail..........??

Why would that be?

MBM I have a copy if you are still looking for it, give me a PM and let me know what you need.

Thanks for the offer Leon, I'm all sorted now though as a mate turned up out of the blue with a copy of The Wild Geese dvd as he knew it was one I've been after for ages

No problems Jon, must admit I was itching to watch it straight away when I got my paws on it

There's a bad smell of politics in this, but having been in a job where I saw them every day, there's not a lot of bushcraft attitude in there - eg attitudes to land ownership, the environment, etc, etc. Howeve as with all newspapers it contradicts itself all the time, so doubtless many of you will have a different idea- it's like trying to get a definite answer out of the Bible! (no offence to any Christians reading this!).
I'm sure Alex didn't mean that it was a bad paper or that we had to all conform to a political viewpoint!

The Mail and the Guardian are both great for getting a camp fire started!

Almost exactly, Arctic Hobo! I'm not suggesting that we should have the same political viewpoints and I think most people will agree that it is great that this site doesn't get dragged down by politics and stuff....

However (and I reserve this as my opinion - I know, we've all got them) the Mail is utter sh te and really not worth wiping your bum on!! Especially as most people on here will be able to find a much more suitable leaf lying around!!!

And before anyone get's offended, the editor of the Mail went on the radio and admitted that they make up most of the stories and just write what their readers want to hear..... so it's not entirely a subjective err... subject.



Oh and by the way I wouldn't get caught reading the gruadain either!!

Don't get as many fires out of a Grauniad these days since it changed to its "Berliner" format (tabloid)

Still my only subscription read apart from TGO, Private Eye and work stuff, mind you...

"Captain Janders Sir, if you do not get up I will personally string you up by the *****, do I make myself clear ...Sir?"

That had to be scripted by a real SNCO.

P.S. I reckon Mail readers are pinkos!!! It's a funny old world this Bushcraft malarkey.
