    New knife laws

    What we do not need is politicians hiding behind a desk and dreaming up pointless legislation that criminals will never read. What we do need is politicians who use their brains and implement the perfectly adequate laws we already have in an effective way.

    Recommend me a cordless drill

    I recently bought a De Walt brushless combi Drill It is a good bit of kit but the lowest torque setting is much too high. I have been assembling kitchen units and on the lowest setting it strips chipboard every time. Had to dig out my old Ryobi with the wobbly chuck bearings. On the plus...

    Human Nature - The problem with people.

    Few alpha's are genuine, most are just over confident people with an ego! On reality TV an alpha is someone reasonably good looking who has a tattoo and go's to the gym :)

    Human Nature - The problem with people.

    I have on occasion watched 'the apprentice' and the spin off program where they interview contestants after they are fired. During the program they all come across as complete incompetent, arrogant a-holes. In the 'after' programme (I didnt watch it enough to remember what it was called) they...

    Solid Fire Pit

    Washing machine drum is not the best for keeping you warm though you do get a pretty flickering display through all the holes. It looses it stainless properties after you have had it glowing red :-)

    Potential ban to wild camping on Dartmoor.

    What would it be like if fishing were only allowed in one UK river? I suspect the land owners in the area would find plenty to complain about! What if the only place you could swim in the whole UK were lake Windermere? What if the only place you could let your dog of its lead were in Hyde...

    Bullfinch on brambles

    Years ago I used to do a bit of bird ringing, we would get the occasional Bullfinch and they were possibly the easiest most pleasant bird to handle. They would just relax and let you get on with it, staring up at you with their beak open. Just as well as I bet they could give you a fair nip if...

    Places for wild camping through winter months

    Things that go Bite in the woods

    Do you get fleas in the woods? Chiggers sounds more likely and are Autumn bugs the same thing?

    Things that go Bite in the woods

    I spent one night in the woods last weekend and am still itching and scratching from all the bites I got. Have been to the same spot several times and never been bitten by anything. It was not Mozzies, there is no water around, I would have seen or heard them and there is no way they would...
