Yeah that makes sense. Oh come on old boy that just ain't cricket. :D

I like to buy the most local honey I can find so that I can start eating it in the spring time together with essential oils which boost the immune system. This helps to reduce hay fever symptoms. A few weeks ago I discovered there are some bee hives kept just a few hundred yards away from our...

Drones appear to be far more accurate and deadly than a sniper. Once they have you in their sights the chances of escape seems to be vanishingly small. I don't like watching footage of soldiers dying but I have seen a few of those drone videos in the news where it chases people around for a few...

I'm in the market for a new small spade at the moment and this seems to fit the bill perfectly.

I've never been in the army so this is only my amateur and probably completely wrong impression of how war in Ukraine is currently being fought. :) It seems to me that the majority of the soldiers now are conscripted older men in their 40's and 50's with only basic training and are poorly...

Army to mobilize veterans in preparation for war. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09/07/army-to-mobilise-veterans-war-preparation/

I think they chose Pertex due to it's high breathability and fast drying properties which makes sense as this product was originally intended for use by mountain rescue teams. I think it was only later made available to buy after a lot of interest from the general public and requests to purchase...

What is LRF?

They seem to have stopped making them now. It does sound like an interesting bit of kit though. Although for how I intend to use it the blanket makes more sense anyway.

I've just tested my Bayliss radio again. Turns out it does work fine. It was just me being a prat and not winding it up far enough. :D

Yes I imagine it would be perfect for that. I would mostly be using mine indoors but it might also get used if ever I want to spend a night sleeping over in the tack room at the horses field. I wonder how well it would work inside my Snugpak Jungle Bag as a layer of insulation? The dimensions...

Crikey yes! I hadn't considered that. When it gets used inside the house it will be in a room that the cat doesn't generally go in. Although there is still some chance a door might occasionally be accidentally left open or a cat can sometimes sneak in unnoticed. You know what they're like. I...

One thing that concerns me is what happens if the cat jumps on it? Will her claws puncture the Pertex material and cause it to look scruffy over time?

Does anyone own one of these or ever used one? I'm considering getting one but they're rather pricey so would like to know what other peoples experience of them have been like. The reviews on the Buffalo website sound positive. When I spoke to Buffalo on the phone they told me that it's made...

This has now been sold to steveab who was a gent and pleasure to deal with. Thank you.
