Everybody needs a code....

I know, I wasn't commenting on the program.......

What do you think I know? What don't you understand? Really simple. I think that lying about your nationality when travelling is a bad idea, it stops you from making friends, and making friends is entirely the reason that I travel. If you need to pretend to be someone else to travel to a...

Exactly the same way; I know enough about art to know that I know nothing about art, whatever qualified opinion is presented to me I will accept as being correct.

Clearly you did mean execrable, maybe it's your grandma that needs punching square in the jaw? Edit: wierd autocorrect.

I think that whether or not honesty is a good policy for travellers is of importance, mainly to travellers admittedly, but still, travellers matters too. I have no idea why you're asking about my wardrobe.

Because telling lies is a good way to make friends?

We don't keep ferrets these days but we did for years. Mother used to breed fancy rabbits, we got rats, we got ferrets, we let the ferrets run free in the rabbit shed (the rabbits were obviously securely caged), we got rid of the rats. I'll be honest, I never really liked our ferrets that...

I got one of these a little while ago (I paid £40 :aargh:) but it's been way too cold to use it. It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a crazy cheap down bag; patchy fill, dodgy stitching, thin, poor quality zip, small, etc. Give the weather a month to warm up and I'll have a night out...

I don't have a degree in art history but I do know enough to know that I know nowhere near enough to disagree with an Oxford/Cambridge/Harvard educated art historian about art. If the man says the tree's Jesus on a cross, then the tree's Jesus on a cross, simple.

Cool story, but, are you sure you mean "execrable"? If anyone described my nana as execrable I'd punch them square in the jaw.

Isn't there legislation against collecting "sea glass" and "pretty rocks" from the beach for trade? Edit: just had a quick Google and, exactly as I suspected, beaches are just the same as anywhere else, taking things that aren't yours is theft. Be careful.

We're a season closer to beachwear! I'm not actually a big fan of spring, I turn into the grumpiest of old men... "Lawn's going to need mowing soon..." "Them chuffing foxes are at it again on the back garden..." "Is that them kids/tourists/ramblers on my front lawn again..?" "What sort of a...

Not disagreeing at all but having something really energetic as an activity can work really well within a lesson plan for cubs, you can wear them out/liven them up/give their brains a rest etc. Also; anything that gets people working together is a good thing in my book.

I presumed that they'd be split into smaller groups for the activities, that's how it's worked at every cub camp I've helped with. If, however, mousey is expected to simultaneously teach 100 children anything at all then my advice would be to run, as far and as fast as possible.

A group of 8-10 year olds can easily make fire using a bow drill, BIG bow drill set and lots of energy and enthusiasm go a long way. Something like this:

I like that, a lot. Top work.

My nana made the best mushy peas I've ever tasted, I would love to know how she did them. I do know that letting them boil over so that my grandad had to clean the hob was a crucial part of the process. Every Sunday: "Do you want mushy peas this week?" "Will I have to clean the cooker?"...

Best of luck with that, I hope it all goes as smoothly as it can. Fingers crossed for you here too.

Food in a freezer should be fine for at least a day without power if you leave the door closed, 9 hours would be perfectly fine.
