Some information on venomous spider bites in the UK. I've linked to the two I mentioned and the False Widow spider, but there's a whole list under 'spider bites'. Tube Web Spider. (sometimes known as a 'Tunnel Web' Spider - like alot of animals, spiders can be known by several common...

Very nice mate :) She'll love that :cool:

I was skimming through the thread too quickly and could have sworn that said 'Dougster'. :rolleyes: Must slow down :o

Now that's an idea :D We could call it ''Ready, Steady...Bake''. They both bring 4 ingredients and they have an hour to see what they can come up with. Independant adjudicators decided on the best one and the winner gets a hug from Ainsley Harriott :p :cool:

Your bannocks are salty ;) I like salty food though so that's fine by me. You keep making them Mike and we'll keep eating them :D By the way, in case you guys are unaware, Mad Mike is an unrivalled Bannock Genius.

I quite like my signature (obviously, otherwise it wouldn't be my signature :p ) but I'll type it up here in case I change it at a later date. 'It is poor manners to ask someone for the loan of his axe. It is worse to use it without permission.'' - Mors Kochanski Nothing...

You've not encountered a Cardinal Spider before then? I personally have only ever seen 3. Alot of people claim to have seen one when they've really only seen a large house spider. Cardinal Spiders a very rare and as such aren't very well documented. It's almost impossible to get information...

Yeah, it's not my usual response to this kind of proposal I must admit, but I thought I'd stick my neck out for once and try to be the optimist. :o As far as I'm concerned, as long as they're not uselessly banning more innanimate items and instead they're actually trying to deter people...

I think it's a step in the right direction (albeit a very small step made by people who have no real idea of where they're going). Instead of banning more items they're talking of more severe punishments for laws that are already in place. The idea is sound - some people are currently...

Guys, am I going to be on my own this saturday or is anyone else coming down for the night? :(

My new years resolutions (I don't usually make them) were things I hope to accomplish at some point during the year, giving me a whole year to get them sorted out. :cool: So far I'm already well on my way to achieving one of them - read alot more than I have been doing over the last couple...

How about that 'No-Egg' stuff? It's an egg substitute for vegans. My stepmum used to get it for cooking (my Dad's vegan) until my Dad finally convinced her you can do just as well without egg or egg substitute. I've never tried it myself but it might be worth having a look at? At the...

I gathered a load of chestnuts in the autumn and I would like to make flour from them. They've been in proper storage for a few months now and I'm told that the next step is to shell them, bake them, then grind them up into flour. How long roughly do they need to be baked for? And...

A cigarette with a large cup of cold water or birch sap when it's available. Then bacon and mushrooms in a bap/bannock, with a cup of strong sweet tea, followed by at least 2 Bensons. :D

I agree with the boot sale's idea but it might be a bit difficult finding a boot sale this time of year. I would say you're better off buying an axe 'face-to-face' if you know what I mean. You really should be handling an axe before buying it (there are a few exceptions) so that you can...

Please do this :) Good review by the way Stuart, very informative. I see you managed to get hold of that old Swedish billhook you were after too...

If ever you should write your autobiography, it need only contain these few words. ;)

I've got a bit of white stuff I can send you if you're interested? About 10 metres I think. No tan though I'm afraid :(

I've not got any experiance of that particular bag myself but it looks huuuuge when packed up. I'd google it to see if you can at least get the dimensions and temperature rating from somewhere first. I personally got a Nanok -10 for £40 and have been very impressed with it (I think...

Cheers Red :) I can't get the thread to load up properly but, going by the picture you posted, I think I've read that thread before. I may have even posted a reply on it. :rolleyes: My memory really is terrible :o It's still definately something I'm interested in. Thinking about...
