That'll do for me.:)

And used as a method of control by evil, power hungry men for as long as man has existed.:(

Meant for tea, works for coffee too: Tea Thingy

There is no point to the questions therefore a literal answer seems most appropriate.:rolleyes: Agnostics are hedging their bets, or are accommodationist. Atheists don't believe in the existence of supernatural beings. As it is not possible to prove that god does not exist, it is...

Science seeks for the truth as best it can. "Why are we here?" We are here, there does not have to be a "reason". "Is there a god?" We don't and can't know but due to the total lack of any evidence for a god, the safe assumption is no. "What happens when we die?" We decay and are...

To me, what you call "soul" is the name given to the feelings engendered in us by our endocrine system. All of us, religious or atheist, feel the same responses to our experiences but we assign different causations to those feelings. Crises of faith are no laughing matter, stick with it, I...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have a look round the web and have a look at them. I used to have a pair of waders for wildfowling which I cut down to use as wellies but a friends dog ate one of them.:rolleyes:

Any recommendations for wellies with "walking boot" type soles? Sometimes the ground in "my" woods is covered by a series of lakes and I'm forced into wellies to go bimbling. Trouble is I suffer from painful big toe joints and I need a good stiff soled boot to be comfortable.

Yep, I wear my waterproof trousers over me wellies too.:)

The folks here don't hate him; they just don't like the showbiz way his show treats the subjects that we are most interested in. On another level, we can see how the uninitiated could get into serious trouble by emulating some of the silly things that happen on his show. Don't forget, not...

Your pictures are too dark to see it properly.:puppy_dog

Iv'e heard her tell this story before; it's about how she dealt with a cheeky sod who took a picture of her and made up a silly story. The only bit I remember is "..so I got hold of 'em in both hands and crushed 'em. That sorted him out"

You can be and are both. Thinking is done by the brain and the emotional response is mainly mediated by glands.:)

Help yourself Toddy.:) EDIT : The early picture was taken in September 2005, the latest one was today, so that's four and a half years growth.

There was a small horses hoof growing on the dead trunk and when the trunk fell over the fungus sprouted in a new orientation. Clever eh?:) This is my "pet" Fomes a year or two ago: and today:

IMO we are animals which have evolved an awareness of self. We are still trying to work out what "self" is and "soul" and gods were used to try and explain things to ourselves. Much better to accept that we are simply animals and not "special" pets of some invisible "force" and have respect...

I only use the poles for long walks; if you're bimbling about in the woods they're unnecessary and get in the way.:)

Another, interesting, informative thread featuring Toddy at her best.:D Cheers.

Aye jonno but two give you even greater balance than one. Think of it as a four wheel drive equivalent. Using two has saved me from getting wet crossing rivers, navigating boggy ground and falling arseover down wet or rocky hillsides.:) SWMBO has a matching pair; mine are not matching as I...

Leki too.:) Two is best; greater support and balance, and useful as shelter supports. One of our snowshoeing group this February only used one pole,"I like to keep a hand free"; guess who was always falling over and having to put a snowshoe back on while the rest of us stood about getting...
