    Why use this?

    My wife and I shared a hammock once. She said to me, "If this thing rolls over will we fall out?" I replied......"No Honey. I'd still love you".........rofl

    Gelert Solo tent

    I have one of these wee tents too and find it fantastic for simple overnighters. A great wee tent at a good price. The only bug that I have is that the door opens on the right hand side whilst my sleeping bag opens on the left. It takes a bit of grunting and shuffling to get my ample frame...

    Heads up - good movie on TCM

    "Does anyone know if 'Man in the Wilderness' with Richard Harris (Channel 5 on Saturday) is equally good?" I just read the watchers reviews of this movie on www.imdb.com and they all say that it is a great movie. I will indeed be watching this one. Alan.

    Been reading this thread avidly and reminded me of the last time that I did some electrical work. The firm I was working for sent me out to fix a woman's doorbell - Bue she wasn't in!!!.........lol

    Electrickery and RCD's

    John....sorry mate, It's all electrician-speak stuff. Stingray......once the 16th Ed started to go astray with their testing and earthing changes I just left it and took up a new career. Still miss working with the basic stuff, but certainly don't miss all the changes. Alan.
