    Washing with limited water

    Since my water rates went up, this is the only way I wash now. Bonus is when I get the bus to town, by 2 stops I have it to myself!

    Climate Change & Survival.

    Corso sir, Thanking like that is like saying "its ok cos he is only *issing in his half of the water tank". I do think there is a real possibility of them cooking off one their special weapons on the launch pad. Still would not stop them from trying again and again.

    I really did think the title read "folding towel". I was thinking why would anyone buy a towel that does not fold!!!

    Ponderings on sharing knowledge and skills

    For many years I worked as a Technical Instructor in electronics, computing and networking so I am very familiar with the concept charging for ones skills and time. On the other side of the coin ( yeah its a pun) one has to attend but a single Moot to see the volume and quality of knowledge...

    Zip off trousers

    I should have read the thread properly before voting. When I did my stage show ( years ago) my costume only had zips as Velcro was not such a big thing then. Zip off trousers, amongst things , do work on stage but I worked with a slower sound track then they do now..... { Maybe, just maybe I...

    FlexiStove

    Tiley Sir, did you make sure the bottom was fully pulled down, did you just check the sides of the bottom insert where upright. This "should" make a well to hold the drips...... failing which, a mince pie foil plate works a treat. I use mine with bottled gel rather blocks these days so always...

    Nearly did it

    It takes a tribe to raise a man, wonder what it takes to raise the perfect woodsman. Just let a 16 year old wander off is all, it would seem.

    Faraday cage

    Much more impressive is watching some devil getting the b@llocking of his life from a Warrant Officer who until then I had thought so benign! Topped off with a senior Navel officer heard to say "What the 7uck do you fly boys do in there!!!"

    Faraday cage

    Most gaps in an "ill-formed" cage are not of a size close to the wavelength and so are not a function of frequency. It is more the fact that EHF and above attenuate quickly over distance. Signal will however leak from gaps in the conductive seal. Using a baffle means signals going up hit a...

    Faraday cage

    To make your bread bin a true faraday cage it needs to have a total seal. Which means your bread tin needs to be fully sealed i.e. if you can open it ...... it isn't sealed. Unless your lid fits via knife edge baffle it is a very nice tin but not a faraday cage. Years ago I worked inside a...

    Badgells Woods, Kent

    I have done about 5 trips there and love the place. OK it is a taxi ride away from me ( don't have a car) but it is still a great spot. The site is heavily wooded and you get your own "corral" to pitch up in. There is running water, loos, showers and cooking wash up area. They do not allow...

    Aliexpress- Suggestions.

    Regarding the VAT. The rules have changed and now VAT is charged at source for everything. This is NOTHING at all about Brexit. Note one of the posts mentioned Denmark who is still in the EU! Yes, it happened around the same time but still not something for the Remainers to harp on about.

    Memorials

    I understand the idea that a given spot meant so much to someone they would want this but then if everyone does this, it is a bad thing. I have often wondered on the idea that "this spot is so beautiful I like to visit it, but why are all these folk here spoiling it". It is ok for me to come...
