    Surplus and Adventure

    4 months!,,,,an absolute disgrace! Thanks for the heads up, I'll remember never to use these chancers. I think it's very important that regular members here highlight poor (and good!) service they recieve from suppliers. :You_Rock_

    Discount Ray Mears Hardbacks at 'The Works'

    Only one they had left round here was vanishing world. Had a scan through it, and to be honest it's not even worth £3.99 :( On the other hand I got a copy of The Scottish Islands by Hamish Haswell-Smith for a fiver so walked out very well chuffed :D

    Doc Marten boots?

    had loads of pairs of docs when i were a lad (keep in with the crowd, looked good etc!) absolute rubbish imo. soles wore out far too quick, leather cracked at foot bend, stitching came out. when I saw the price of them in a shop recently I had a right good laugh. Try m and m's on the web for...

    Bushcraft Boat? Ref: Rivers TV Show

    Here we go with access problems again :( As a matter of interest, has anybody ever heard of anyone being prosecuted for going down a private stretch of river in their canoe? I'm not trying to promote law breaking here, but if I lived down south I'd paddle wherever took my fancy and just...

    Leaving no trace

    This utter disregard for nature and the environment is heartbreakingly sad. It seems like you have to get further and further from the beaten path these days to get away from moronic behaviour. There really needs to be more power given to local rangers etc to impose on the spot fines for this...

    Disability and behavior of members

    Oh yes that fake 'kiss kiss' is enought to make you sick alright :tongue-ti And so of course is any sort of insincere/uncomfortable hugging. Toddy's friendly type hugs are most welcome in this neck of the woods. But the best hugs are always the ones from your mates........just after your...

    cats and mixi...

    Providing you can despatch them humanely it's always a good idea to kill off a grey. You will be doing our birds and our Reds a big favour. Like American crayfish, they wreak havoc and just don't belong here. Don't know what can be done about the cat problem but at least it's usually only...

    Most underated band?

    I've known Kenny Anderson (founder member) since knee high. He's a totally sound guy and it's great to see he's managed to make a living out of his passion. His brother Gordon fronts The Aliens who are also worth checking out.

    Disgusting!

    Given that people do make mistakes and should be given an opportunity to redeem themselves, I completely agree with this. But what if they'd already been down this route before. What if they've got 'form'. How many opportunities should people be given before we say ,,,enough! That seems to be...

    Pointless.. a knife that chops but won't stab

    Sometimes you just have to laugh! The inventor is probably rubbing his hands with glee at this piece of marketing zeitgeist. Probably get free full page adds in the Daily Mail etc Completely agree BR, but capitalists speak a lot of clap trap too (David Cameron, hug a hoodie and all that)

    I'm glad they've been caught so quickly. Can only hope that the publicity generated by this inhumane act means they are made examples of.
