You hum it and I'll see if it rings a bell.

If you like Paramo, can get on with the pocket system of the Velez, then I say buy it. You will get years and years out of it, worksout cheaper in the long run, unless like me you buy more and more Paramo because you "need" it.

I've got the same bow, its a beauty. Succumb, you know you want to....

The Velez smock is very nearly "right" but not quite. I've got the old heavier version and it does exactly what it should, keeps wind out and keeps me dry, when I remember to proof it once in a while. I've had it for five or six years and still use it regularly. But I've never liked the pockets...

I'm going to make a totally different suggestion. Put ten grand of your cash somewhere safe. Take the other five grand, get yourself a rucksack and your passport , and go. Big old world out there, go and see it. If you've no ties, no wife and kids, no career, no mortgage etc etc then go travel...

Absolutely . But if i'd just said the SAS someone would have chipped in with "only the TA,not as good" sort of comments.

Yep, look in the market for Knots. Knotsguide is free and pretty good.

Its late, I'm back from work, I know its not a serious thread but I'm going anyway.... Its an easy one, Ray is great at what he does, Bear is great at what he does. But what they do is DIFFERENT. And anyone, I do mean anyone , who summits Everest is far more than "just" a showman. In fact...

I don't have an Iphone, prefer HTC, BUT .....can't you just e-mail the ring tone to your iphone from your laptop?

Montane litespeed, cheap, windproof, pretty good in short spells of rain, tight. Sorted.

Bugger, I ordered a bag from them a few days ago. Shown as dispatched but no sign.

Yes he was, by his own admisssion. Heading into a slot canyon alone with noone else knowing where you are going or when to expect you back is, well, foolish. But MY GOD! what a guy! I've read the book and he fully accepts the mistakes that got him there, in fact he feels his whole life was...

If you do buy one, don't go overboard on price, something like a six or eight inch dobsonian is relatively cheap and big enough to see plenty.

That's what iplayer is for.

I'll be watching again tonight. Enjoyed last nights enough that I actually got my telescope out for the first time in a while and had a good look at Jupiter and the Orion Nebula. I was impressed with the short introduction to astronomical photography too, must give that a go.

I predict there will some disagreement on this thread.

Keep, one in the loo just in case.

Hah, I knew that was your game.
