    Make do and mend

    Very nice! All I can lay claim to is making a new pedle for the kitchen bin. The old one had worn through/snapped. But I'm a horder so I had a 'handy' piece of aluminium and made a new one.

    Getting fitter

    I am missing my walk to and from work it must be said! The 5bx thing is sort of a hiit program but dates back a long time. It's ok if you don't have YouTube handy

    Getting fitter

    Been doing pe with Joe. Quite good fun. Getting a bit fitter/stronger. My main exercise was the walk to and from work. About 5mile a day (that's in total)with an 8-9kg rucksack at 3.7-4.2mph walking speed. I used to do the 5BX program a few years back but just got out of the habit. Will need to...

    Alu bottle for making 'stuff'

    Some of us make those little meths stoves, and I have seen the little oil lamps or trench candle that some people make. I was in Sainsbury's the other day and saw they had a new cold coffee on sale, I certainly wouldn't pay full price, the 'coffee' contained within is dirt, but the bottle is...

    Hi rich, yes 2 blade serpentine jacks. One is D2/Ti very slim. The other is 52100 with solid brass scales milled out for Di scales. The only Shing I wish I had got a chance at buying was a 3 blade stockman. To be honest these were the pics I had left on my phone from the knife a day thread on...

    New trespass laws......

    As it happens the potential for this to be applied to stop environmental activism is what concerns me the most. Sheffield has recently experienced a ppi where the council has been removing street trees, and has been using some rather interesting laws to get it done. Things are changing I hope...

    New trespass laws......

    Indeed, I don't like politics, and I can't abide politicians, I posted as I recall a thread recently about the legal aspects of having a knife or axe when camping on land without the permission of the landowner.

    New trespass laws......

    So it would seem that the government is aiming to criminalise any trespass but is aiming to go for people intending to reside. The questions posed in the government papers are along the lines of 'do we want to only criminalise trespass if there is intent to reside' Article is an option piece by...

    Northern monk /haze beer

    Depends on what you like, I have a wide ranging taste so the strong ipa that sells for 8 cans a tenner is fine, but saw this and thought it worth a go. From my local indie beer shop in Sheffield moor market.

    Northern monk /haze beer

    Found a tin of the latest haze colab beer. Based on the Nevis recipe beer, just not as expensive. Looking forward to it, I'll leave it in the cellar to settle and cool for a few days.
