Hi mate, are you open to trades?

"It's next aisle over from the guns." Shame US immigration rules are so biased against white Brits (unless they have enormous amounts of disposable income).

After careful consideration I'll refrain from posting my original reply, tempting as it may be. This is where I leave the conversation; it's already well off-topic and I CBA to get into yet another Internet political debate. Getting involved at all was a mistake.

Didn't you hear BR? Maggie caused Brown's financial stupidity, destroyed union-mob-controlled industries already in trouble before she came to power, invented cholera in order to kill poor people and smashes badgers with hammers for fun. It's true because the highly unbiased BBC said so...

I think you're working under the assumption that the woodlands would be sold off.

A little while after the gralloch.

Vanadium! (Sorry, couldn't resist...)

That's a fair point. I was thinking (for instance) of the various largely intact remains of Exeter's industrial past -- there's one deep and fast mill-leat extant that cuts through the south of the city with the head weir intact. In fact there's a mill on the leat with two wheels and the races...

Brilliant idea! Could I use the sediment from the bottom of the demi for the subsequent batch when I rack it? I used Young's cider yeast first time round -- one gallon with pectolase and one without, both with added sugar (to OG 1044). It was in fact very tasty -- dry, slightly carbonated and...

Excellent news. What about the thousands of disused hydro sites around the UK though? Time was every place you could produce a few feet of had a few wheels on it. Okay so we're not talking large-city-level power levels but surely, with minimal alterations to the water-couses the National Grid...

Interesting but there's a cheaper ways of making booze even if you're buying all the ingrediants. My first batch of cider was Scummerfield own-brand apple juice, cane sugar and yeast. My next batch will use Sainsbury's Basics juice (even cheaper) and I'll probably try pitching it with bread...

I have heard this but TBH IMHO there are a lot more important factors involved in blade performance -- correct steel choice and HT as Dave said and geometery and variances within the material being cut. Thats before the usual limiting factor with tools, the bushcrafter holding onto the blunt end!

My tupp'orth: make sure the fabric you use to sew the envelope is truly feather-proof. A good tight calico ought to do if you're wanting to go non-synthetic.

Nuclear and hydro are hideously unfashionable. They're too practical.

That's a lot of money for a wool-mix t-shirt.

Look closer: GORE military fabric, not Goretex, no mentions of 'breathable' anywhere. So it's $800 for a PU nylon bivy bag with arm holes and a claimed IRR capability. It's going to fly off the shelves exactly like the stuffed dodos in the Natural History Museum.

Any real solutions would involve international agreement and enforcement, often in international waters with little passing traffic. In other words, unlikely. We also can't ban other nations' fishing vessels from British waters thanks to the European superstate.

I don't think that the specifics of localised effects alter the main argument i.e. the extent to which anthropromorphic climate change exists. For the record I don't think it does, or at least to any major extent. I would also like to state that I agree that population increase is probably one...

Yes, like Scots' sigan dubh and dirk, or Sikhs' kirpan. I believe that followers of the Norse deities are allowed to carry a kniv for religious purposes. Perhaps we of Saxon descent should EDC a seax to indicate our status as freemen? Interesting factoid: the American Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco...

It's a freakish occurence that the outcome isn't "woman-shaped stain found near black-bear scat, courgette also present".
