Did a bit of a clear out of some stuff at my parents house over the weekend (no they aren't dead). Had the horror of finding my dissertation from 1996, finally recovered my Hennessey Hammock been AWOL since 2015, and uncovered the following.. I believe 2 of the kukris were given to my...

Depends how you categorise London, most of us down south class anything inside the M25 as London. For the type of stuff your after your probably better off being out of London and using the train to get in, or head to other towns and cities. If you want to canoe the Medway is easy and you can...

To be honest I would just get a cheap 2nd hand phone, fit in a waterproof case and shove an app on it. I currently use the OS Android app and have a subscription, its excellent value for £23, and you can save maps for offline use. You dont need simcard and could (depending on contract) share...

Hi Carl. I am from Kent as well, over towards Tonbridge. Plenty of options on here on the sharps side of things ;)

There is a hell of a lot of research going into hydrogen fuel cells at the moment, a British company is one of the leaders. By the time petrol and diesel are being phased out hydrogen might be the replacement. The new tech allows them to be made cheaper, more robust, etc. Lots of advantages over...

Thinking about having a go at something like this. Any tips, or good places to look for info?

Yepp me please. Will message you.

I believe you are correct, although there was a chunk of my hand that was sort of sliding around. When asked if I was allergic to anything in the hospital my reply of axes resulted in a resigned smile.

Yep, put a very sharp axe into my hand. Didnt feel a thing. Main concern was trying to hide it from my wife and not bleed on the carpet. Seriously pondered using superglue on it.

This I the main stuff dating back to my BB days, mainly UKEDC stuff.

London pub meet in 2011

Thanks for that. Cant remember what year, it was when Portland Works was under threat and we met Russel, Robin Wood, Stu (I think), Trevor Ablett, etc. I think the law section is one of the most useful bits that is now lost, especially when you had input from Police officers and Customs people.

The makers I really wanted to own, and still do are a Shing, Owen Bush, Stuart Mitchell (got one), and Guy Stainthorp. I do need a sheaf for the Stuart Mitchell knife at some point.

I agree. I have one of his blades handled by another member. Also have a pocket folder by the bloke that worked at Taylors Eye Witness, R White was it Richard? Met him when I visited Sheffield.

Found some photos from one of the London meets the other day. Also went up to Sheffield to meet a few of them at Portland Works.

No need to treat the lady's rough!! Once thongs settle down a bit I will go and have a mooch around some of the local car dealers, to test drive some options, Disco 2 vs Freelander 2. Defenders are over budget and I expect to be doing some longer runs, holidays and trips to Bisley. Local use...

More likely to be a D1 or D2 than a D3, and definitely not RR. Having had to get the engine replaced on a 8 year old Skoda, odds and sodds on a LR aren't that bad. There is al local independent garage that does LRs, the bloke is LR and REME, bloke looked after my dads 110 for 10 years without...

Good call about the freelander 2, its is something I had considered. Having had LRs in the family for years, S2, S2A, S3, 110 300tdi CSW I am aware of the upkeep, I am also aware that none of them had an engine or gearbox go bang. Maintenance was constant but cheap, with no large bills. They...

Arhh thanks for that, the other days I will use my wifes more economic car.

My 12 year old Kia Ceed (very boring car) is getting to the point where things keep needing to be changed, got about £1000 to spend to keep it going. Its not in the greatest state cosmetically so not really worth anything. I did have an ancient series 2A LR in the past, so I am used to the...
