    Walking Poles?

    As with all the other opinions, a great benefit, even without damaged knees. You walk further with less effort and they're particularly good when walking down off the hill; they take a lot of impact off your knee joints, and stop you going nadir over zenith down the slope. You don't see many 4...

    :lmao: It's not easy to ignore deliberate blind acceptance of fairy tales as "truth"; but you must try, as there's none so blind as those who refuse to see, and you will just end up frustrated and angry.

    Pocket cameras

    I'm bowing out now, as it is pointless to debate with people who do not know the meanings of "proof", "evidence" or "fact". I leave you with this little parable to illustrate my point.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCBe7-6rw4M&feature=player_embedded

    Memory, and eye witness accounts have been proven to be highly suspect. DNA evidence is regularly overturning convictions based on "cast iron" eye witness evidence.

    Dog and game fairs

    What do folks do when at game fairs on their own with a dog, and they need a pee? You hear too many stories of dogs being stolen.:(

    1. The ambition of any aspiring scientist is be able to disprove an established Theory; any university can only dream of that discovery being made by one of it's own. If one of their number, and it happens, gets some totally off the wall theory which is obviously totally wrong (N.E.C. for...

    That's the difference between Religion and Science: Scientists disagree and argue about interpretations of observations UNTIL all the evidence points one way, then the vast majority accept the findings. Religions make up their minds and schism into a multitude of different sects, there being no...

    Flaming Ventile

    I noticed that my new Ventile jacket was "beading" rain, so I washed it a few times and that was fixed. Now the outer layer gets wet and goes hard as board, just like the Ventile I know and love.:)

    My 2CV was the most fun of any car I have ever owned. Under powered; noisy; bloody cold in winter, but still great fun and very versatile.
