There's an interesting article in the Guardian. they did a big 'expose' on under 18's buying knives from Amazon. This line from it is obviously referring to flippers and other one handed openers. "It will also include proposals to change the legal definition of flick knives to reflect new...

It was off it's lead. It was snarling. It was in a play area. I think that was intimidating enough.

Seemed bigger than a Staffordshire Bull Terrier it was rather intimidating. Particularly to a 3 year old with special needs. Fortunately the owner was very apologetic and came and got it quickly. Didn't put it on it's lead though.

I used the little titanium one I have on my key ring this afternoon. I used it to attract the attention of the owner of a rather nasty pit bull hybrid which had invaded the children's playground I was at with my 3 year old. He ignored it. I ended up shouting across the park at him. That did...

Looks good. My son is coming round to the idea of going on this!

I've got an Omega Seamaster Pro. I've had it for 11 years. It was an engagement ring from my now wife. The only time I take it off is in the shower. It loses a bit of time but I love that watch. I'd always wanted a Rolex Explorer. My wife offered to buy me one for my 40th birthday. I...

Hi I live in North Herts and have just found this thread. Sounds like a fabulous opportunity to camp out in November and hang out in the woods. I can't make next weekend as I have promised to take my son to the Science Museum for the day and he will be distraught if I cancel. I will certainly...

Leave your knife at home and buy one at your destination. It saves a lot of hassle from security. However, when we went on a Family trip to Disneyland Paris I was without a blade for cutting apples up etc. As there is nowhere near there to buy a decent knife. I ended up borrowing a...

I ordered one in xxl in the end. The fit is great. I'll see how this one is after it's been washed and if it's cool I'll certainly get another one.

Thanks for the info guys!!

Hi I'm considering the purchase of a Chocolate Fish Merino zip neck http://www.chocolatefishmerino.co.uk/taranaki/zipnecks.html I own a Smartwool one which is fab, the Icebreaker and Howies ones are too tight! The size chart on the website isn't particularly clear about what is the...

I have one of those Vietnamese coffee things and found cleaning the grounds a pain. At home I have Nespresso but I can't afford one of those hand pump espresso things. I discovered these the other day. http://www.coffeeperfection.com/coffee-bags.php The strongest blend is fine when i'm out...
