We found a nice 4 bed 2 bath bungalow and we put in an offer. They countered, we countered back they countered again we countered again and the next thing we knew our estate agent is on the phone saying they accepted our offer. Gotta love my wife. One thing she promised was a back garden...

Within a few days of landing I come down with a stinking cold! I thought back to 17 years ago when I flew to Anchorage to meet my wife Debbi...cold. When we flew from Anchorage to St Louis to bury my mother in law....cold, flew back another cold. Etc it seems I get a free cold with every flight...

We're moving back to the US My wife wants to be closer to her brother as he's the only blood family she has left and to be honest we don't know how much longer he's going to be around. He's been an alcoholic for a good many years now and has been to rehab 3 times (kicked out of the last...

Here's wishing all my friends here a wonderful Christmas time. I hope Father Christmas brought you what you wanted but remember if he didn't good health and family are the real presents. My wife isn't having a good night so I'm up keeping her company. She said I can open a couple of presents...

After pruning a branch from the Holly Oak out back I find myself with a piece about 2' by about 2.5"-3" nice and straight. I was thinking of doing a Waldgeist out of a piece and saving the rest to use in the Firebox.

I used what was called on Amazon as an enamelled steel cup black, camping. I used it in the bathroom to keep my toothbrush in and rinse after brushing. Last night I was getting ready for bed and after rinsing I saw a black speck on my lip I picked it off and saw more on my teeth. The damn cup...

Disclaimer: My only connection with this seller is as a purchaser of one of his lids for my Crusader cup. Thought it only fair to mention.:) While wandering round ebay as I'm prone to do when bored stiff I found a listing for an aluminium lid for the issue British Army mess tins. I...

So there I was the gardening the other week full sun and I had my Aussis style bush hat on but there was one thing missing. A neck protector after a few hours of weeding pruning and general garden mayhem my neck felt like it was on fire so I came in. Long story short I got one hell of a sunburn...

I found this on Yahoo. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/thousands-yorkshire-warned-not-drink-water-121500754.html What I find troubling is that the water authority hasn't mentioned what type of bacteria caused the contamination. They found "high levels of bacteria" but they couldn't identify the...

I had to say a public thank you to one of our members ANGST. He went above and beyond for me I recently treated myself to a Kupilka 21 and while wandering round Youtube looking at what others have to say about it I found a video where the guy mods the handle and makes a belt/pack hanger. I...

I finally gave in and bought two Polish ponchos aka Lavvu. This has been on my wish list for ages and I was convinced to drop some money and buy one when I had to do some work outside today and the heavens opened. My coat was soaked through and it didn't have a hood so I wasn't a happy chappy...

It's true the fire gods were definitely not smiling on me this morning. We were going to have burgers so, as usual, I went out back with the Firebox and loaded it with charcoal. I had matches that went out after the flare they wouldn't stay alight when hit with a lighter the charcoal wouldn't...

So on the 8th my wife ordered some glass Swarovski bicone beads from a company in Seattle and paid $44 for express shipping as they are needed for some wedding favours. They arrived in the UK on the 11th as you would expect with express shipping. Then the fun began. Take a look. Did you know...

Postman delivered a unexpected parcel for me today. I say unexpected as I haven't ordered anything. Hmm a strange box with my name on it. Opening the box revealed this, something is camouflage...interesting. A couple of minutes unpacking showed what she had bought for me. A...

For some reason last night YT went goofy and now It's 1 in 10 videos that actually play. All I get is the spinny wheel of death that signifies 'loading'. Is it just me or is anyone else having the same problems? I've tried a force reload and cleared my cache and cookies but still nothing. All...

So I've decided to get a Crusader mug for my Osprey 2014 water bottle. But here's where it gets confusing I've seen reference to a Mk2 mug, which would imply there's also a Mk1 out there as well so I'm not really sure what the difference is and which one will fit my bottle? I found a metal lid...

My birthday is coming up in the 19th and my wife wants to get me another mess kit. I have narrowed it down to two choices and I can't decide which one to go for. Here my choices. 1, Russian VDV paratroopers mess kit. Coolness factor 9 2, Yugoslavian mess kit Cooless factor 7-8...

Hope this is the right place. I'm looking for a simple pouch to fit the TOC British army mess tins. They are 60mm X 135mm X 180mm. It doesn't have to be fancy it's mainly to keep them together and stop them rattling round and guarantee the contents (Esbit stove, folding cup, plastic spoon) don't...
