    Photographs from the Bushmoot 2008

    You should add this to the 'Just a wasp' thread. It's a very good pic, especially from a standard 'point and shoot' camera :cool:

    Poor sales assistants

    Well, I got it all sorted out. They said I could have a refund but they had to deduct a 10% 'restocking' fee :rolleyes: because I'd opened the box. I told the lady at the returns desk that I was given the wrong information about the product and the only way of finding this out was to...

    Poor sales assistants

    No, not Curry's. But Currys, Dixons, Comet, Tandy (are they still going?) - they're all very similar. I've found a camera I want online now. Same as the second one I got from the 'unnamed electrical retail outlet' but with a remote. And £70 cheaper :rolleyes: Just have to see if...

    wild geese

    Would you ask the geese to let us know if they find autumn? I'm still waiting for spring 2007 to end...

    Poor sales assistants

    The poor kid on the floor could have just said ''I don't know''. Instead he tried to make it appear that he knew what he was talking about and ended up selling me the wrong thing. What was he expecting to happen? Did he not realise I'll open the box and find out it's wrong and then come...

    Poor sales assistants

    Thanks, I think I'll need it! The only problem with internet reviews is that they can't give you the 'hands on' information. One problem I've found is that a lot of manufacturers are saying their camera has 'night mode' when they just have the LED or it just amplifies the light. The Sony...

    Photographs from the Bushmoot 2008

    Just washed then boiled in a little water; no salt or butter. I prefer it without anything added, it's one of the few wild foods with a good strong taste of it's own. BTW Twoflower, sorry I ruined your picture :p The look on your face was classic when you turned the camera round to...

    Poor sales assistants

    (And I don't mean poor as in: ''aww, bless those poor little sales assistants'' ) I've been looking at getting a video camera over the last week so on Friday I thought I'd pop into a well-known high street electrical retailers for some advice and a nudge in the right direction. I meandered...

    Oooh shiny, and going cheap too

    So if it's well hardened, comes supplied with a keen edge and the owner doesn't let it get dull then they're laughing :cool: Probably a good type of steel if the pwner is working predominantly in coastal areas. Or Scotland ;) .

    Building a collection

    Quite a collection you've got there C_G. I bought my first firesteel from Dave Budd at this years 'moot - I'd used snapped pieces of an old file up till now - and it's a good'un. Dunno about getting a collection going like yours, but I can definately see why you like them. I'll second...

    Oooh shiny, and going cheap too

    Indeed - I'd be inclined to pop over to BB for that answer (and be prepared to read through alot of posts ;) ). FWIW, I thought 440c was a fairly good stainless, but what I know about knives could be written on the back of a bus ticket :rolleyes:

    What will Ray do next??

    He's got quite a few interests other than Bushcraft and I can see him persuing one of them next. He did that thing about rocks after all - that's not your typical RM subject. I reckon something to do with wildlife/outdoor photography. Probably as a co-host.

    Littlehall meet (Kent)

    A good weekend was had by myself, Twoflower and MadMike. Thinking of booking the next fairly soon to make the most of the evenings while they're still light. I was thinking of one in mid-late September then one in October. I'll be going in October even if I'm on my own as I love camping...

    Top Movie/s Seen This Year

    I don't go to the pictures much so I'm usually about 18 months behind with films. The only thing I've seen at the cinema this year was the new Indiana Jones film. And the less said about that the better. Speilberg/Lucas, what the hell were you thinking? :slap: :nono: I do buy alot of...
