Awesome! My Pith Helmet has arrived and been tested. Very pleased. I'll be wearing this places other than the Moot, like when shooting the Enfield on the range!

You won't be properly dressed in the NC without one of these babies! I now need a BCUK badge to stick onto it, perfek!

Awesome again!

Cap'n Badger reckons it will look like 'carry on up the kyber' this year!

I'm sure he will go with his own Victorian Pirate Safari style!

Two left then, who will snap'em up? You'll be glad ya did.

Hi Midnitehound - they still going?

Two up for grabs still.

Keep in mind we are taking the French pith not the British pith! Practical cheese munching Safari rather than just fancy dress.

And be careful taking the pith out of the French as Sarge is likely to be there!

Isn't dad (Biker) French?

My God your alive - been worried about you.

Dad's French by adoption so he's have to send his white knotted hanky through the post via the British Embassy.
And I'm going to be fair to the French here the reason they've maybe surrendered a bit is that if you look at European history they've been in more wars with more people than anyone else. So it's just arithmetic really. (But the jokes are funny, but then so are the ones about the Scots, English, Welsh, Germans etc.).

Nope "Dad" is not French, don't let the beret, the stripy jumper, the string of onions or the hee haw hee haw accent fool you either. I'm not so much an expat more like infiltrated into the French way of life to blend in over here. Sometimes I do let the side down by wearing the knotted hanky hat, I haven't resorted to reading The Sun or the Daily Mirror in public though, there are limits to which I'd stoop. :nono:

Welcome back adopted 2nd Son. I'd kill the fatted calf but we ate it last week, sorry. :dunno:

Currently the takers for the spiffing tiffing Pith Helmets are:


1. Crosslandkelly - Large.
2.Mesquite - Large
3. Biker - Large
4. Countryman - Large
5. Biker - Large (ordering a second one as a birthday present for my brother just for the helluvit)
6. Beamdune - Large
7. Buckshot - large
8. Buckshot again - large
9.
10.

PS Y'know the above list could all chip in an extra quid or two and buy another one (or two) and raffle it off at the Naughty Corner. I bet once these things are seen in the flesh they'll be plenty of takers for wanting one. Just a thought.

I got one too for an everyday carry



I tried to buy it with my MasterCard in the French surplus store but it didn't work, seemingly they can't say "Charge".

That is an interesting suggestion. It could go on a table at the bottom of the slope with a numbered list and pot or it could go on the stall table. Proceeds to BCUK or some other worthy cause. Drawn from the hat at morning prayers on Tuesday. I would be willing to donate 10m of Dyneema as a second prize. Anything for a third?



We have other plans in the pithline too. That is the royal we by the way, otherwise known as the regal pith!

Plenty of cheap safari suits on ebay...

No need, I plan on wearing just the leopard skin loincloth and seamlessly slip into the "Me Tarzan!" role. Probably put EVERYone and his dog off dinner and the rest screaming nightmares for weeks.

The only thing that lets this cunning plan of mine down is the distinct lack of leopards here in Normandy. I was out most of the day hunting too.
