The art of storytelling is not lost, but our language has be come constrained in its written form. The lyrical nature of Shakespearian times was in part due to the acceptance of making new words and concepts. If you consider the Japanese they still produce hiku poetry "The primary purpose of...

Can you swat flies with an iPad, can you use it to stop a table rocking, can you eat fish and chips off it and throw it at the dog? I like books, books are human, they represent civilisation at its height, I doubt that anyone will ever go to the gallows for making an iPad or owning one...books...

I am having the books printed at the moment...a lot of cash as I hated PDF's! When back from the printerers and binders...38 volumes in purple with gold lettering down the spine I will burn a few off for you. S

Hi I did a dive course out in the Caribbean about ten years back and the instructor recommended this the Avia Pole Star. As you can see still going strong. The more modern version is the Mariner. The watch is pretty much bomb proof and keeps very, very good time. Very good price and very...

I have just been told by a pal that his gran is very disappointed... she spent the last 3 hours in Currys looking for a 'George Formby Grilling Machine'. :lmao:

I had this made for me by Dave Budd, its desigened to sit and grip between your 1/2 and your 4/5th finger, the grip is amazing, never slips in the wet. The one down side is that it is so tailored that if another picks it up with a bigger or smaller hand its uncomfortable. So I guess it's like...

Going to bring a pal along, hes an interesting type, Chris so add one to the list! Sandsnakes

Wolf, I can assure you I would have been 'robust' in my efforts to re-aquire my stick if I had seen who had taken it! Its the memories that it containes, it would have been nice to have John's stick with me in the woods after he was gone, you know a bit of him and his life force still walking...

Airflex Jacket and bushman trousers, they come in the same green as the jacket

Just a note about dealing with G&T Hunting and Outdoor. Found these guys on Ebay when looking for a breathable jacket. They got the order right, but the factory sent the wrong one. I had to return the original they were as nice as pie, by return I got a breatheable Airflex shell jacket (its a...

Went for a bimble at Wendover yesterday and gave Rod a hand teach kids to build shelters. When standing in the cafe I put my stick by the counter to reach for some cash and some toerag stole it. It was made by an old woodsman who is now in a room waiting for his last sunset, I cannot describe...

Looks like a good deal, I agree with the rucksack comments (they dont build human shoulders like they used to!). The bivvi bag is not breatheable, this can sometimes make for a disgustingly damp night if your warm, in the cold not so much of an issue. Pretty bullet proof I would say and you...
