    What might have killed this fox cub?

    Did you examine it Chris? If there was a ruckus, it may well have been a badger. But the positioning of the cub looks more like it was tossed there rather than died in battle. If there was a road nearby, that's exactly what I'd assume. As an afterthought, nothing makes crows and magpies clamour...

    Horse flies: what are they for?

    I have just come back from camping in the van, and something about the grey of the van and awning attracts hundreds of them. These were the giant bovine flies, and though they're a pest to have around, they don't like human blood. Deer horsefies, and the regular horseflies are a different...

    What did you buy today?

    Next week for us with temps in the late 20's and maybe 30° on Monday, you're looking a fair bit cooler in Somerset. Post today was a quarter each of lemon sherbets, strawberry sherbets, and soor plooms from Saltire Candy. Nice, but boring lemon sherbets again. These had sherbet, but not good...

    Verifying browser and redirecting?

    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.
