    The Covid19 Thread

    Possibly a little harsh John, however, before I wore a mask to tesco (we have that or asda and asda has no one way system; never again) people were constantly invading my space. The sad fact is the lout in his twenties is not going to suffer, but the poor old lady he pushes past will. I was...

    We do that as it is the most humane, the scope increases accuracy and the power of the rifle ensure a quicker death and less suffering. Hunting in ancient times was quite barbaric and often very painful for the quarry.

    Hilltrek masks

    From what I understand it is to remove the airborne spread, in particular with people wearing them who are non symptomatic. Gaps around the edge aren't going to make much difference but a cough is 50-60mph with a range of 2 - 4m, a Sneeze 300mph and nearer to 8m - 10m. I am working from home so...

    Hilltrek masks

    I haven't found that yet. I find the only downside is breath coming up misting glasses if you wear them.

    Going back to the OP I firmly believe my steaks are the best.... I took this small buck without him having the faintest idea we were there.

    One of the benefits of where I live is that I am under an hour from Hilltrek, lovely people, lovely products (I have an organic ventile shirt on the way for summer). One of my oldest friends runs a care home nearby and Hilltrek gave away many of these to them and the other care homes in the...

    Hello all

    I used to be quite prolific here a few years ago, then I moved to Mordor (deepest darkest Aberdeenshire) and life has changed. I went back to Uni for a bit and then started teaching again, but the lockdown and events in our family the last few years has given me pause for thought. (I wonder if...
