Wife just said midgies in Scotland :lmao:

@Paul_B Whilst this is very true, that sounds like a potentially serious occurrence, which could have done you in had you been wearing a suit of armour :rofl: But now consider the less serious incidences, like someone in front not holding the branch back, or releasing it at precisely the wrong...

Funny how if you don't board or miss some trains, you just get left behind without really being all that bothered.. I have never watched Deadpool... Transformers I think I saw the first one... that was that. John Wick, never seen them Fast and Furious - might have seen the first one, that was...

I'm considering a trip to the arctic circle this winter... maybe we'll just have our own :lol:

Naturism out and about, yeh but no from me... I've whipped my kit off on a secluded beach that was only accessible from water, I guess to see what all the fuss was about... you get sandy in places that you don't usually get too sandy. I've gone starkers into a river on Skye during snow in...

I think we're the next field away from the motorcycle group. There is a guy dick.van.hike (instagram handle), he's got a couple flags and a hammock on the roof of his white transit van, we're near opposite that! @Broch ahh boo! :(

We're here arrived late last night so had to hang out in the special pen... We're now the next field from the social media trucks near a 6x6 defender, out wondering now though!

I find the whole climate change topic both exhausting and interesting. I find it most interesting talking to real people who work real jobs in a real world and learn little ways to better myself and my surroundings, and most exhausting talking to the people whose job is to tell other people what...

@Paul_B Unfortunately for us we just can't get on with supermarket deliveries... We have impossible substitutions, short shelf life and just poor quality fresh produce that ruined it. I can accept substitutions in some departments - I can't think of specific accurate examples, but for instance...

Bit late to the party on this, but how strange a good friend of mine suffered from this in June... Think he had his removed.

Hahah you alcoholics! I actually rarely drink nowadays... I don't know why.. with work I tend to be up early (and actually have to be productive), but I also finish late, so there isn't much enticement to neck a drink then fall asleep :lol: Then when I have time off, I have that "FOMO" (fear...

"One of education’s greatest illusions is that what is taught is what is learned." I know I'm unfairly not as patient as I should be when repeating what I've deemed as "simple things", probably more often than not I'm not patient. I need to very strongly remember this quote. Thank you for...

Agreed. I'm sure as @Pattree has pointed out, the reality is all of this will likely be individual specific, location specific, year specific etc etc... Isn't school in general something that falls under the same category? We spend fortunes on taxes on something that doesn't seem to work for...

@Broch This was exactly the point that came to mind when I read the @Wayne post (31). I think the world has changed so much to suggest that something hasn't worked in a straight line fashion is too simplistic.

Ooo very nice! I learnt about UJ's on the way :rofl: Thankfully a v nice garage in Kendal sorted us out same day and had us on the road in an hour (well, it was longer than an hour, but only because we talked landrovers for a while! :lol: ) Ours: That pic was late last year, over Christmas...

Hahah, Did you have a good time? We did a loooot of miles in ours doing N & NW Scotland too, from Devon earlier this year (Feb), it was stunning, very wet, but stunning. Had a Universal Joint reach it's limit part way up, but that was it luckily. But I always sit on the side of caution now :laugh:

Hey all, Just wondering if anyone from here is going to this? We'll be heading up there in our Defender....if it makes it (LR reliability etc) :lmao:

I mean the above would be fantastic, but I suppose I was after a mild friendly deterrent like diffuser sticks on the windowsill as an alternative to a spray can of raid... :lmao:

@The Frightful Oh I'm a master at that, it's just the errr... wife is asking cos errr...when I'm out she gets annoyed by the flies....

We actually have a zapper in the kitchen, it mainly catches flies, although a moth has been known to head to the forbidden light before... Never caught a bee, but then to get to the kitchen they'd have to go through quite a maze and I think there is more interesting things for them outside. The...
