Not really had any issue with anything for years, but this year I've had occasions where midges and fly's (Horse and Deer) have been taking their pound of flesh. They really need to take more as I have put on a lot of weight in the last year and a half. One of the company directors mentioned...

I agree, but I would say "Toddy is an excellent example of that!"

My apologies if this is echoed by other comments, I have read the first page and only the first page. "Prepping is Perception" It matters very little what people say or do. It's the same as one man's meat is another man's poison. It's the perception of the action by the specific person. What...

Full scale thermo-nuclear war.....

Probably the most important bit of information on here. If you don't know how to use it properly then don't have it. If you need to know how to use it do a course. Many of the finer points of first aid are lost when people read them in a book, you don't get that on a walk through - talk through...

Beware of the overstitch wheel for marking stitching points. There is play in the wheel which means that it may provide uneven stitches. I started off using one and I found that two areas that required stitching together that require separate marking could end up with a different number of...

I work at a place that has lots of spruce and pine(plantation), but surrounding it is good deciduous hardwoods. The softwoods (Douglas Fir, Sitka Spruce, Norwegian Spruce and Scots Pine) are all resinous and they produce quite acrid smoke, but once seasoned they burn hot and fast. I use a mix of...

What are you thinking about making as it has an influence on what you are buying. Soft thin leathers may require glovers needles, but veg tan, for harder leathers you will need harness needles (Size 1 John James harness needles). You will require an awl, for hard leather you are better off...

Very tempting.

Mate I am on cable and satellite here (cable is paid and satellite is a generic chinese satbox which does the job) I have over 300 tv and god knows how many radio channels to pick from as well as having Netfilx and Amazon Prime, but my front room is well lit and I have space to carry out work...

It's not just the race it's all the rest of it and the fact that the F1 Fanatic has to repeat everything parrot fashioned.

When I have to use the same room as an F1 fanatic it is not so easy to just switch it off and that is possibly one of the reasons that I dislike F1, because I am subjected to it whether I want to watch it or not (which I don't because it is boring). Having no interest in watching the race means...

Yes I have just been subjected to "F1 Monza", it was so exciting that the resident F1 fanatic snored through 18 laps of it. Before anyone else says that they can see how someone who doesn't understand how complex F1 is and how technical it is and the engineering involved would find it boring I...

I'll put the dates in the diary, you never know I may be able to get away for this one.

Being there is different, I remember going to F1 races as a boy when they were still held at Brands Hatch, but to be honest the racing was a minor part of it, it was the the people, the sound, the smell and the atmosphere and that is something that TV at this time cannot impart to the viewer. As...
