I just moved here from Nottinghamshire, not had chance to get out much yet with the new job and all, where's good for a local bimble now the warm weather is coming in?

I work in the Playboy Club in London.

I have a rescue Akita and, much as I love him, I wouldn't trust him off lead. Anything small and furry will get chased until it drops from exhaustion, at which point it gets poked until it runs again. Anything bigger and furry will get the same treatment but will get offended and fight back, at...

Perhaps, if the bike hadn't needed its tyres changing, he wouldn't have been riding in a trolley, and therefore wouldn't have crashed?

I have actually seen one of these, I got a tour round one of our Vanguard class submarines recently and strapped to the back of one of the missile tubes was a big brown briefcase with those exact words on a small label on it. I was reliably informed that any further attempts to "borrow" it...

Dell Streak running android 2.2 for me, its a brick though, huge 5" screen and the ability to play high def movies, on top of the features you're after, persuaded me to give it pocket room though

enhanced CRB from when I was teaching part time in an FE college, enhanced CRB without expiry for work in the gaming industry, enhanced plus an MI6 security interview when I worked for the House of Commons, MI6 clearance to work on protoytpe national level switching gear for BT and a background...

After working the nightshift I like to pop into the woods out the back of my house and have a brew and watch the world wake up, its the absolute antithesis of my job and makes me a much happier chappie. Last week, I was sitting quietly against a tree with my mug of hot chocolate, watching the...

I've never distilled my own vodka (I think you have to get into all sorts of Customs and Excise registries and things for that) but I do have a fairly simple and foolproof way of flavouring vodka that has never let me down: Empty a cheap bottle of vodka into a large jar Add somewhere between...

Joss Whedon went on to make Dollhouse, which has just gone into its second series, aaaand... been cancelled, 2 weeks after I watched the whole first series, wouldn't you just know it.

How about going all the way back? Daniel Defoe wrote Robinson Crusoe, inspired by the real-life adventures of Alexander Selkirk, who's got to count as one of the first modern bushcrafters in my book...

I think you'll find that it's "Titanium" Bushcrafting these days, not plastic :D

Back in '97 I got to do one of my Duke of Edinburgh Gold award expeditions on horseback, a lot of fun but taking horses out for a period of days here requires a *lot* of logistical planning. This thread just reminded me how long it has been since I went riding, guess I know what I'm doing on...

I've lived with dogs my whole life and wouldn't be without one. My grandparents had jack russels but we have always tended to have larger dogs, Boxer, Alsatian/Collie cross, Doberman and an Akita. I'd recommend not just looking at breeder but also considering a rescue dog - all my dogs have...

Half way through my shift at the casino - finish at 7, home by 8, in the woods with dog and brew kit by half past to kick back for an hour or so before bed.
