Just a personal view point here. I have peronally felt that there has been an undercurrent of malfeeling here for at least 6 months now. Around xmas i made a sort of promise to myself that I wasn't going to bother with logging in and posting anymore. I failed at that, mainly because I keep...

Just in case anyone is interested, I have just found this site : http://www.1940.co.uk/acatalog/Miscellaneous.html Dried egg for those with a taste for bygone ages...

I got 6 metres of grade 1 from there - that was 19 quid a metre last year. They also do seconds as well i believe, for a reduced rate.

Well, you could follow this chain of thought. : Horlicks is made very near to Maltesers. Apparently the same goop is used to make the two. To make the maltesers they mix the malty stuff with dried skimmed milk and salt. If they use full fat, it expands to the size of a football in the...

Is this close enough ? http://www.cybercandy.co.uk/aaasmt/index.php/url_indprod?ltrev=14&xlc=101 Or a little further afield : http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/jump.jsp?itemID=11881&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C5%2C39%2C174&KickerID=95&KICKER

Just got one of these for me 3D mag : http://www.coldspark.co.uk/storefrontprofiles/DeluxeSFItemDetail.aspx?sid=1&sfid=87786&c=623597&i=47874876 Hoping that'll transform it to something useful...

You could knock one of these up for a little over 20 quid ?

This lot do a good one : http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/reenactors/index.asp Made by KingandCountry in the states. Thing I found with it is that the sizes indicated are not the real sizes. They take in to account that you would be wearing battle dress underneath, so are sized BIG. And you...

I remember riding home from the Winter Leek bike rally one January. My Gpz conked out the road by Pen-y--fan. Unfortunately it was a white out blizzard, the police were there calling everyone down from the hill, I'd not noticed my jacket was undone during the ride there - about 20 miles in crap...

I only have a vague memory of it, so it must have ben at least two weeks ago. :D Mid seventies sounds about right to me - black and white telly, old dude with beard who was also in How! at some point.

How about a Suunto MB6 - matchbox compass. Small enough to be handy, large enough to be useful ?

Which the yanks then used to recreate the virus, and got the complete genome for the thing...The nutters...

And who do you think will be getting first dibs on the medication ? :rolleyes:

Being the worst flu he has had to deal with means that he is too young to have dealt with the other outbreaks. That is all. Who will watch us ? The ones with respirators, of course. In the UK, around 1200 die a year from "normal" flu. Compare this to the spanish flu in 1918. 200,000 died in...
