    Same, and a page with a huge B, X on it, like a part loaded screen. Seem to have solved it by deleting the saved link in favourites and adding a new one.

    Coping with the heat.

    Wow! Having attended a viewing of the National Emergency Briefing a couple of weeks ago, seeing things like that happening are a worry.

    The End of an Era : The day Long Wave died.

    Strange how so many of us are quite happy to pay for Netflix, Prime, Apple TV by sub but not an annual fee for a service. Sad day, I loved the gentle sound of the shipping forecast, or listening to test cricket.

    Hammock post - removable

    Hottest day ever, "hmm, what shall I do. I know, I'll dig a hole". I spent ages rummaging about looking for my lovely silk double hammock, to no avail. Thin hammocks are superb in the heat, all round cooling. Might be worth pointing out that your tomatoes could do with a water Nigel. :D

    Coping with the heat.

    Had to steal this off the pump many years ago :)

    Coping with the heat.

    Yep, that's the one. Not highly effective but it makes a difference. I've got a large wet towel hanging on the back of a couple of dining chairs with the fan blowing hard at it.

    Coping with the heat.

    I like your style. You're the sort of guy that used to drink the homebrew kit beer a few days early and suffer 48hrs of flatulent diarrhoea. Totally worth it :D

    Coping with the heat.

    This has nothing to do with a dog sweating, and is an effective way to cool literally anything. Like her wet coat, evaporation from the t-shirt being blown by the fan causes a cold reaction as the bonds of the water molecules break and the liquid becomes gas. This is exactly how sweating works...

    Saurons Spork

    Those you linked to look good. I like the LMF sporks but I've snapped a couple of plastic ones and the Ti one feels horrible in the mouth. Couple of extra centimeters would be appreciated too :)

    Coping with the heat.

    If I buy electrolyte soluble powder or tablets I always look for some Mg content. Cramp is a problem for me. Currently lying on a fresh cotton sheet with a damp t-shirt draped over me and the fan blowing. Dog, ditto.

    Forthcoming pebble launching device ban?

    Threads like this never go well, knife law ones especially. There’s always, always someone who brings up stabbing with a biro or how a rolled up newspaper can be used as a weapon. In this case it seems to have taken an unpredictable turn to yet another non-ban, this time it’s towel rails. Which...

    Forthcoming pebble launching device ban?

    There isn't a forthcoming ban, the title is totally misleading. It's a 'what if, let's have a silly debate' thread. @CLEM above seems to have read it the wrong way, as did I. Pointless.

    Collapsible chair recommendations

    I settled on a Helikon Sunset too. Only thing it lacks is arms. Another one worth a look is the One Tigris Dragonhide. Can be used with or without the 4 legs. Bit heavier than the very light Helinox if weight is an issue and more of a faff to erect with the extra poles. Edit: I see there’s a...

    Bah, Microwave

    Van used to run a 650W through an inverter and it was pretty hopeless. I don't pretend to understand how it did it as it was the first thing that went. Maybe it only worked with hookup. 240W isn't anything really, most microwaves are 900W or more.

    What wildlife did you spot today?

    Who’s this hiding under here? Haven’t seen one in a while, a handsome chap.

    Sleeve pockets

    F Think this sums it up. The tactical zip pocket. Mind you, I’d like to think it prevents this sort of embarrassment.

    Best Concerts Youve Ever Been Too

    Big Zappa fan, never got to see the band play live. I fairly recently found out that Zappa visited the UK with a few other American artists in the 70's. He wanted to see an English coastal town and so they drove down to Bognor. Zappa in my home town and I never knew! He loved it so much he...

    For Sale Barbour Dunnon jacket size L

    Gosh, so wet out there today, cold too, for June :D This is a great jacket, I got the XL one today from EBay and chucked it on over a t-shirt for my potentially wet walk. Really pleased, one of the best looking Barbour designs IMO, less cattle market/game fair, more stylish and practical for...
