There are also a few of us just over the bridge in Chepstow, be worth you keeping an eye on the south wales section :-)

I've not long moved to the Chepstow area,be good to get out on a meet.

Was in Swindon, now in Chepstow so not too far and would be interested in a meet (work/wife permitting of course!)

Evening sir, alas we had to cancel this weekend at short notice (house viewing)...weather seemed a bit dodgy so the Mrs was happy we didn't end up going.

Any firm date for next month? Was planning on heading down to Bush Farm on 11th anyway...

It is far more toxic than white spirit. The white spirit will defat/degrease your skin which is why it can sometimes feel like your skin is really dry if you dont rinse it off. Methanol on the otherhand goes through the skin and is toxic. Limited exposure (small spill on the hand which is...

Hi cbr6fs, Apologies I should have clarified that, self/auto ignition temps are in the 300-400 degrees C range.

Quite agree Bilmo

Methanol has a flashpoint of 11 degrees C, petrol is -21 degrees C. Like most flammable liquids its normally the vapour just above the liquid which is the really flammable bit (has the right mixture of oxygen and fuel).

Important to remember that meths isnt methanol, it is a mixture of primarily ethanol (somewhere between 80-90%) and a much smaller amount of methanol (less than 5%). Pure methanol could have a very different reaction with the metals.

Sections 8 and 11 on the data sheets (I am referring to the one I provided the link for) gives information on toxicity and exposure guidelines (these are based on workplace exposure/chronic exposure). But these don't give those sort of specifics and unfortunately I am not medically trained so...

Had a look at these yesterday and came to the same conclusion...looks great but price is steep. If there are 2 stuck at the back of your cupboard then there are two willing buyers here!!

Correct advice is to wash it off immediately as it is toxic by skin contact (and every other type of contact!). Perhaps download a safety data sheet (e.g http://tinyurl.com/cwktvna) to have on hand incase of further accidents. I work in a chemical emergency centre so you can be reassured at...

I lost my dad to melanoma last year so really reinforced the need for sunscreen...SPF 50 all the time for me now...

Think others would agree that army surplus might be the way forward...what is the budget?

Lidl also do the reindeer meat (as well as partridges, quails, pheasent...) http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_uk/hs.xsl/19623.htm

In terms of doing something different, I have been to eastern europe 3 times in the past 2 years but have never been canoeing in the UK...so that would actually be a first. But hey, each to their own...I would prefer to remember my stag as an enjoyable occasion rather than the majority of it...

Thanks for all the helpful comments. SiWhite and Bandit are right, I have done the getting hopelessly drunk in foreign lands many a time and find as I get a wee bit older the payback the day after is worse than death so was hoping for something a bit more sedate but rather more enjoyable for my...

Cheers Dogoak, will have a gander.

Thanks JoeJoe, have sent you a PM
