Hi, Welcome.

Experiment to test the spoiler function as I’ve never used it before: A train shuttles between London and Southampton. The London to Southampton journey takes 80 minutes, however the return journey, Southampton to London, takes an hour and twenty minutes. Experts have examined every aspect of...

I think that the idea is a good one. The problem these days is the internet. It would be down to the individual as to how long they exercise their brain before hitting the web or the answer button.

Problem is: if you change the conditions to suit plants that you want to introduce then you are changing the conditions that suit an oak tree that has been thoroughly healthy so far. I’d keep the oak tree as it is. Do you have oak woods nearby? What is growing under them in your part of the...

The “spoiler“ mask would do it.

I’ve just been given a book called Einsteins Riddle. It’s full of classical puzzles and riddles. It starts with pure slog puzzles (like Einstein’s) and meanders through logic philosophy and paradox puzzles. Most of them are well known. I love the Bertrand Russel quotation: It has been said...

I have never thought of sleep as a medicated process but I guess, like Broch, I’m lucky. I’m also pretty sure that I’m not unusual. There was an NS article recently that said over a third of people who refer to themselves as insomniacs aren’t. It suggested that it isn’t the hours of sleep but...

I’ll leave content to others as my training is ten years out of date. The quiz itself needs some tweaking. I once passed a multi choice about which I knew nothing (road transport) by answering the questions where I knew or applied logic to the answer and then ticking the remaining longest...

I know nothing of the niceties but if It’s just a camp where I climb into my bag at night - bring it on (along with something to keep old bones offthe ground). All weathers????? I’m remembering a Makers Moot. :red:

Tent. Don’t love it. Not sure I like it.:cry: It will get me out while I bin the old back up tent and think what to do with the tipi.

The OP is fake @John Fenna

Hi, Welcome.

I have adapted the bales on a number of my Zebra camping pots and my Kelly Kettles. I’m not sure what a solo pot looks like. Ah just looked it up (Mountain Warehouse are doing a good deal right now) I would counsel against any drilling of the pot. I’m working on the bale for a lantern (candle...

I tapped out of this discussion a bit back because it it has become a rehearsal of stances (for and against) that we’ve seen so often here, that there wasn’t any discussion. In my opinion this thread, while originally informative, has descended into an subjective mess. So: Simple question: Why...

Not my world but, does anyone just roll up in a tarp to kip bivi style?

Eyes wide shut. You can’t do ANYTHING ELSE with a gun or a crossbow. …….

That’s still missing the point. When someone purchases a tool that has no other purpose than to kill or injure I’d like to think that they do so under regulation. In that regard I cannot see any difference between a crossbow and a gun. If they then choose to “plink” a few cans or shoot at a...

A ban or regulation allows the enforcement agency to take appropriate action for possession without the injury occurring. They could not do this without law. Not at all. I refer only to tools that have been designed for the purpose of being lethal. How they are used in practice or...

Cars don’t kill people. Drivers do. (Even cars have been used as weapons.) Banning won’t work. Regulating will place limitations and enable law enforcement that preempts injury. Nothing wrong with target shooting. If you do it with a lethal tool, just do it with one that is regulated.
