They do look ace. Is that some kind of coating on it or just factory oil? Or just the light? Oh, to be near an Ikea!

Any luck with this Tony? Still not viewing sometimes for me, especially if not logged in. Sorry, I don't mean to nag, it doesn't seem like a big thing, but it sort of feels like something I'd like sorted as - well - with that particular post I had high hopes that someone might be able to...

Woohoo!! Way to go with the fire lighting!! :1244: That stump is interesting - I have one just like it in my garden. I thought it must be ants or something doing it, but never actually see anything wriggling. Its not woodpeckers (at least with mine) as I'd definitely see that... I wondered if...

lab72: Lol :) Perhaps I should have phrased that differently! crazydave: Both suggestions sound good to me! I don't think I've ever even visited Cranham. Slimbridge is 19th June and would need to get tickets fairly well in advance. http://www.slimbeerfest.co.uk/

Those little brown estuarine jobs are a nightmare, Ive given up on trying to memorize them - but from looking up the nice red legs and shortish slightly upturned beak, I'm going with Turnstone in winter plumage or juvenile.

G'day! :cool:

Welcome Will!

Hey up Alistair :)

Is everyone here apart from me still all male? Just wondering? Not sexist or anything... just psyching myself up! Lol

Hi Wayland, I see you are coming to moot - yay :) Just wondering, are you going to get upset if some of us have viking clobber that is not strictly speaking 'authentic', as in perhaps just a little bit completely fictional, but much more entertaining? Or are you going to be aggravated? Just...

Ok thanks Tony! :D .....no idea about the snail tracks then? ;) heh

Yes, thanks for getting back - sometimes they are there and sometimes just nothing at all. Toddy couldn't see them, then she logged out, then back in, and could follow the link to the gallery (I put up a separate url because of people saying they couldn't see the pics)... I'm not sure if she...

Hi there Rambling man! welcome :)

.....................@.. tumble weed ;) I consulted with my geeky IT sister (cyclingrelf) who says it has to be a problem with the website that end and you probably already know about it. Still, it'd be nice to have some sort of response?

Phew! - I did wonder when you said 'bagged'! :D

I love that first one - if I tried that with my drill it'd take my hand off! The piston one I've seen before.... it does seem like the two options in the UK are either wet or flimsy, though I guess the piston idea could be played with using more sturdy materials. The one granddad had was...

Cor!!! :notworthy

Really? What did they call it? Now I'm thinking about it, I think the logs it produced were really very dense, so you needed to get quite a hot fire going to start with... and possibly add a coal or two now and then. But knowing my grandad he probably rolled them very tight. lol. And slow...

My grandad used to have one that didn't use any water - you rolled the newspaper round and round a spindle to make 'logs', by turning a handle and feeding the sheets in. Not seen one like it anywhere since, but it worked a treat! The logs were dense enough that they burned for quite a while and...

Really enjoyed this :) What a lovely couple of people.
