Dang! That Japanese gardening knife I got won't actually cut through time to a point where my garden is tidy without me actually having to do it?!! Dang it! Now where is my receipt, it's going back.:rolleyes:

Aah! Didn't see that. Guess it was police question as they thought he might have been acting out of normal behaviour (neuro divergence not neurotypical).

Quite right too! Terrible shirt, should have had the book thrown at him. Isn't it neutral and beige colours that's in this summer?

Just pointing out, I never mentioned autism at any point. I wasn't aware anyone had. Didn't see it in what I read if it was there that is

I googled the hori hori and in the address window where I typed the search the first option that came up after typing the first Hori was "hori hori knife". So if Google thinks it is a knife I can easily understand the less educated (such as nervous passerby or target pressured copper might think...

I follow the eat what is needed principle. Eat to survive not to eat as the end in itself. So I try to think along the lines of eat when I feel hungry, obviously maintaining hydration as it is possible to be thirsty but interpret it as hungry I once read. Whatever the case I eat lunch and dinner...

TPS is next to useless. Not helped by companies acting as UK origins for overseas operation. So the overseas connect into these Lomdon based companies who effectively give them a "clean" Uk number (landline). So the TPS has not got them on their records. You report the number they get a whole...

I had a friend who was an MD of a company and a really nice guy. I knew him from a club I was in. We were all in the Sports centre bar having a soft drink, honest!! Among our lot there was a copper but it was the new guy at the other end of the long table we were at that was the problem. The MD...

Everyone gets my name wrong so that is not a good way of spotting them for me. However,that does not stop them asking for Mr or Mrs XYXYXYXYXYXYXY. I usually hanging up as they get halfway through my name. I am not married so any Mrs in there you don't have any business with me. I do however get...

Oh they are very bright on full and have so many settings I cannot remember them all The flashing settings last so long before charges but the charging is very slow. The flashing lights are everything from simple on off flashers to some random flickering form of flashing with short and long...

Repeating myself, eh? Well I am not ashamed to say how good my sack is. Seriously looks different. It is very old school and most would not look twice at it but it is a good sack. Actually I got it made all black. No idea why now but I did. Being a kind of day sack stretched it looks very slim...

Oh FiL would like that... Slides taken in his youth are worthy of a museum, how dare you!!!! :whistling: ;) Seriously joking there. Actually my Mum worked in a university and they had an audiovisual unit. She got them to recover an old photograph of her great grandparents or grandparents I...

I think someone on here studied or is studying for something to do with interventions in the outdoors IIRC. I vaguely remember it but not my thing so I kind of did not take it all in to remember moree. It wass in the last week or two I think. Anyway, whatever it was I seem to recall it sounded...

Powerstation work is good. You work for subcontractors and work all round the country. It might be long hours and a fortnight in one go without days off but when you do have a break in the work you get good time off in lieu and paid. Also good money if you can find cheap accomodation (you pocket...

A good few years ago people would leave the company I worked for to go "on the pipes" as it wwas described. I was never 100% certain what they meant but AIUI there was a job laying water mains or gas lines or other underground lines. The hours were long in all conditions andd around the country...

But AIUI no record of any instances of anyone getting infected in the UK only overseas then came in with it before symptoms. Also it is very localised and not a high risk. That was what I readmin a sober and calm article but I also read a clickbait, "we're doomed! All doomed!!!" online news...

I have been a cycle commuter for well over a decade and I have had quite a few. Avoid like th plague Aldii and Lidl cheapo copies of Moon branded lights. They wer good once for about a year possibly two then went downhill badly. I have the ones from 10 years ago and they work just, but later...

I got a custom made AA sack once. Many years ago and it cost me something like £90. It was based on a cross between two day packs but with an extended back to fit my back length (I am 196cm tall so it is a very long pack indeed). There will not be many like mine around. Nice and simple alpine...

Spiders are to be avoided. I know Texas is not here but a work colleague got a bitee from one out there, came home and got seriously ill. it took the Liverpool infectious diseases experts to identify the issue down to the spider bite. he took a good few weeks to recover and get back to work...

FiL has lots of slides and no longer got a working way to show them. A cheapo slide digitiser is absolute garbage and is not user friendly, takes about 5 minutes per slide to get onto the computer due to a very unfriendly USB route or memory card route. So what are the best options? Take them...
