    Legal advise please.. help!

    You're misreading what I said, I never implied that I think you're not all there, it was unclear from your post how you'd hidden from the police and I was trying to give advice on what they might think not knowing you and hearing someone else's perspective as loudly as your own. I'd tried to...

    Legal advise please.. help!

    Don't mean to sound funny or out of order, as obviously I can see how frustrating this most be for you, but if I was the police and I'd seen this behaviour from you (and probably seen you hiding behind the cars on the CCTV too) then I might be more inclined to believe that your neighbour is the...

    Kintsugi

    Bit of explanation maybe needed. Kintsugi is the art of mending broken pottery with gold so that the breaks and joins can be seen and highlighted. This is based on a philosophy of not discarding beautiful things but more importantly by celebrating the history and flaws and imperfections in...

    Kintsugi

    hi has anyone had any experience of trying to do a bit of kintsugi on broken pottery. I realize it’ll have to be a more modern version of the traditional Japanese way of doing it. So far I was thinking of clear 2 part epoxy resin mixed with gold mica powder. If anyone has some successful...

    Rucksack knife advice

    Bit of a thread resurrection, went with the opinel 7 - which seemed to be the right thing to do in the French Alps. Worked great for sausion sec and opening packets etc - only thing it wasn't great at was cutting bread - no biggy in the scheme of things, ended up carrying a small serrated cheap...

    Anonymous Storm - Anyone Else Getting A Buffetting?

    Naming storms (not hurricanes) is relatively new isn’t it, seems like its Only started in the last few years. Didn’t it start after a particularly bad storm that killed something like 15 people - seems fair enough. The media reporting weather as news is a different topic though

    RIP A Pair of British Mountaineering Legends

    I still can’t beleive this is Andy Nesbit, I always thought he was indestructible, read about the accident and then saw later on it was him. Met him a couple of times climbing and he came across as a really decent bloke - despite or possibly because of being a superstar. Thoughts go out to...

    Rucksack knife advice

    So looking for a cheap (almost EDC) knife to keep in my rucksack (walking, climbing, skiing), for general knife stuff - all lightweight, but also for picnics etc. Not sure on whether to go traditional with an Arthur Wright sheepfoot, an opinel (tres francais) or maybe an SAK. What do you...

    Snowmegadon UK?

    So has anyone had the much media hyped and talked about snow yet? Sat in Nottingham and it looks too warm to settle, but we might get some tonight and possibly Thursday. Rich
