    Grey Squirrel Cull

    More likely French ;) Red squirrels are a 'least concern' species according to the IUCN. Local genetic diversity notwithstanding, there's nothing wrong with eating them, just ensure your personal harvest is a sustainable one. In the UK the sustainable harvest of reds would be a zero harvest.

    I Blame Ray Mears - narrowly escaped widow maker

    Trolling is towing a lure or bait behind the boat, usually by rowing but powered boats too, in the hope of catching 'that one stupid fish'. If you read the Internet use of it into that, the troll is the method, not the person, they would be a troller.

    Catapult Ammo

    There are a few places still and there's always this stuff Tetraboost - Makes real leaded fuel but my point was really that both are incredibly tiny factors.

    Catapult Ammo

    That's the easy bit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Practical-Guide-Man-Powered-Bullets-Bullet-Bows/dp/0811701565 Lead vs steel, in the smaller sizes then Janne is correct that the difference in size is virtually negligible. However, in those sizes neither lead nor steel carry enough energy to be...

    Catapult Ammo

    Catapult 'ballistics' can't really be compared to firearms for a simple reason: rubber bands have a fixed maximum speed of contraction whereas firearms are far superior in terms of how fast it will make a projectile travel based on quantity of propellant and the length of the barrel it's fired...

    Rustic mushroom knife for a friend. Finally complete!

    I handled my spoon knife blades (from Dave Budd, top chap well worth a look if you'd like a quality bit of metalwork) with antler tines like that, it makes for a surprisingly strong and versatile grip, notwithstanding that I like the way it looks too. Top job Samon.

    Plant id needed please

    Looks like beetroot, both leaf and stem, to me. If there's more than a few of them, can you have a little dig around and see if there's a tuber?

    What does it claim for the urban figure?

    Volvo XC90 or other large 6+ seater

    Is that the manual or the auto? I used the car for the school run in the mornings twice and it blitzed through almost a quarter of a tank, which was a bit scary. At no point did I play to its strengths, i.e. motorway cruising, which I suspect improves the combined figure quite a lot. Stop...

    Volvo XC90 or other large 6+ seater

    Excellent engines but thirsty. I had a loan of a XC90 D5 auto a while ago, the MPG were pitifully low, worse than my Defender by a long way, although faster and more comfortable.

    Best AA / AAA torch needed without breaking the bank

    These have gone up in price: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/miniature-cree-led-torch-a93kf I think both mine were under £12 when I bought them ~ 4 years ago. Both still bright and vibrant, one is my EDC torch. Highly recommended though even for an extra couple of quid. It will burn a tripleA...
