The kitchen set appeals to my sense of whimsy, I'll take them is still available!

One of the best I've ever heard "Son, you look like an extra from Hollyoaks". You might have had to be there.

Unfortunately, I've met the prices some seem a great deal higher than others though. Good call on joining widths, it stands to reason if you think about it. Also, I believe linen trews were not unknown with the great kilt, offering others safety from a frankly hideous potential fate.

Any personal recs for a supplier of medium/heavy 100% wool tartan cloth suitable for creating my own great kilt?

Filled in the questionnaire, but I have to say that even from the way it's drawn up, I have the notion the legislation is a foregone, it's simply a question of how hard it's going to hit.

In all seriousness, prison space.

I eventually just accepted that as a method of making fire, it's not for me. I did achieve the occasional ember, but achieved far more bruises. It's a pity, because the novelty of it appeals to me.

I get the not cheap bit unfortunately, but then is anything? I've watched a couple of tutorials on making brass rivets and the wastage involved, by people that have done it before, looks shocking. If it were a skill that I was going to adopt for regular use, I'd be tempted to have a go, but I...

Can anyone suggest a UK supplier for items like brass rings, rivets and sheet brass for making a Viking styled sheath? Can find a few on mainland Europe, but as we all know that's become a little more awkward lately.

I really dislike their reliance on the term "practical use". That's a toughie.

Meh... I honestly don't see a massive difference between someone wanting to do things the way that Klingons or Hobbits do and someone who wants to have the skills of a Saxon or Viking. As long as they're doing it without annoying or threatening anyone else.

Here's a question... Is there a different species of quail that's common in the USA or is what Americans call quail somehow otherwise different? I ask because using US recipes for quail, with UK butcher bought birds always results in burnt offerings, I'd say that realistically you need to cut...

If its the same as the UV9R you need to tap it, holding it brings. On a siren IIRC

Just the grill and the skillet.

Bought myself the TJM Fire Anchor to go with the Arinn Firebowl I got on kickstarter. Does seasoning over open fire work okay? I've a good collection of cast iron but I've always used the oven to season them. My concerns would be the effect of smoke and direct contact with the flames. Any...

Whiskey, or any hard spirit. Both in the way you would imagine and also if you just hold the spirit in your mouth around the offending peg. Also, and hand on heart I've had relief from this. Place ice or something else very cold in the web between your thumb and the other fingers on the hand on...

Not today, but this week. 1980s (ish) vintage German Army sleeping bag. The one with the arms. Almost purely as a nostalgia item, I slept around most of Europe and on so many ATC camps in one of these in my teens. It's in beautiful, near new condition but is different in some significant ways...

The problem is the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 and how various couriers choose to interpret it. In non legalese, if you send a sharp or pointy thing by post or courier you must undertake to ensure that the person you're sending to is over 18. The tricky part is that the service you use to send...

In answer to my own question... Yes, they just have a convoluted ordering process which requires manual acceptance of payments. A bit odd perhaps, but would be easier if I weren't using a one-time card number to pay myself. All entirely legitimate and above board.

Merci!
