My mums birth name was different but I wrote a letter and she had a passport etc on her new name. Basically she adopted a new first name and added her birth name as a second. I think it was less Irish when she came to UK in early 1950’s.

Being born in NI I can (and do) have both British & Irish passports.
One thing to be aware of, if you're getting your photo taken, tell the photographer it's for an Irish passport. The specs are different.
Picked up a 2nd hand electric chainsaw today, it looks like it's only cut a couple of logs in its life and its been PAT tested. All for £8.
It'll be used for logging up firewood but I have a vague plan of trying to mill with it.

Yep. Canvas micarta.So you went with the canvas micarta after all
It should be delivered today so I'll probably post a photo and a first impressions overview in the other thread sometime over the weekend.
Bought a couple of days ago, but only delivered today .. a folding camp table. Gone are the days when my back and my legs made cooking prep and the like a comfortable experience at ground level.
It will get put and left in the bit of private wood where I often cook over the fire and already have comfortable chairs in place.
Getting older is a bum, but any fool can be uncomfortable

My sentiments exactly. I'm a bit of a sucker for chairs and the last one I bought was an expensive but excellent lightweight Helinox Sunset. Great for chucking in a pack for better comfort at work or whatever.Getting older is a bum, but any fool can be uncomfortable
But...a mate had one of these last time we went camping and I had a good long sit. Mmmmm....
Yes I have a copy already but over time the pages became stuck together.
I'm kinda surprised I've found this one as inexpensive as this to be honest as I thought they were commanding a far higher price.
I'm keen to see Paul Kirtleys latest book Core Bushcraft as I get an idea it will be in the same high quality content.
