That makes sense Southey. Nettle stings are acidic, and most plant saps alkaline. I find dock sap works for me, but lots of folks seem to just rub the rash with a leaf then wonder why it doesn't work. That said in general the odd nettle sting is best treated by just ignoring it for twenty...

Maroon, burgundy and claret are three words for the same colour.

What do you mean it's not detachable, have you any idea what feminist sociology lecturers can do with a pair of scissors. Zealots never have a sense of the absurd.

I'm glad he did, it's an excellent analogy.

As soon as I saw the picture I thought hot paper clip/needle. Works like magic.

If he accepted a caution he's liable to lose his job next time he's CRB checked.

Horn is plastic it remembers and returns to its original shape unless heated to a specific temperature. So it's as stable as you get.

Isn't the 840 just the old clipper, not part of the classic range?

The government issue stuff used to have, "Use other side," printed on it.

Absolutely Wook, although most falls off cliffs in Scottish hills aren't due to faulty equipment. The Ben Nevis plateau is a navigation nightmare in a white out. Other than than that it's mostly stupidity that gets folk killed, like trying to find the Goat Path in Coire an t-Sneachda rather...

Recta are a Swiss brand, now owned by Suunto. Every bit as good as Silva, but don't have the same brand recognition in the anglosphere. In some European countries recta are the known brand and Silva the forgotten one.

Every time there's a thread like this, on any forum, the recommendations come in for the Silva 4 Expedition. For the same price you can get a Recta DO 590, same quality, but it also has a declinometer and an inclinometer.

Not as good an idea as you might think. If one fails the second will be shock loaded, although it can spread the load between the two attachment points. When setting up belays climbers look for three points of protection, and "equalise" the strain between the three. That way if one fails the...

Could I have one please?

Point of info, he needs to be a danger to himself or others to get sectioned, not just mentally ill. With resources being short it's bloody hard to get sectioned these days. Even then if the condition is classified as a personality disorder, rather than an illness, he wouldn't get sectioned.
