    Avoiding becomming a victim....

    Who cares? You didn't get mugged, you didn't get ripped off, job done, result! Embrace your inner coward mate, this is real life not a Rambo movie. I could care less about self respect, I like having my front teeth.

    Fire & Uninterested Police

    Yup! If there's a fine to be levied, a racist incident, or overtime to be made policing a demo, with the added possibility of getting away with murdering the odd newspaper seller, the Police will be there every time. If it's any type of behaviour that might affect the quality of life of a law...

    Have women evolved so much?

    Sorry mate! I didn't realise that making, apropos of nothing, an allegation that I liked risque pictures was meant to be funny. I'll just start rolling on the ground laughing now that you've pointed that out.

    Have women evolved so much?

    Why would you come to that conclusion? Anyone with an internet connection can see as many sleazy pictures as they want. I mean, thanks for the offer, but being neither Black, female, or indeed, a believer, I'm not that interested thanks all the same!

    Have women evolved so much?

    Mate, congratulations on transcending the handicap of your birth ethnicity and achieving a higher evolutionary status. I wish you well, you have already surpassed Bono and will in all likelihood become Nelson Mandela within a few years. I hope you have a long and very happy life. Amandala!

    Have women evolved so much?

    Thanks for the clarification, whatever the origin, it still seems to me that we are deploying a stereotype. It seems to me that the people who make the most noise about stereotypes just want to replace an old set of stereotypes with a new one in which all Black "girls" are feisty and dynamic...

    Have women evolved so much?

    "The only one who has made that assumption so far is you" It was raised by one poster and pretty clearly endorsed by another poster, you maybe want to start engaging with reality before you graduate to debating? Intimidation? Have you got some kind of persecution mania? For myself, I'll...

    Have women evolved so much?

    What are you talking about dude? How is pointing out that describing an aggressively defensive personality as a "Black girl thing" stereotyping, "bait"? You need settle down and remember your manners mate.

    Have women evolved so much?

    What's all this "black girl" stuff? Sounds a bit like racial stereotyping to me.

    What's your point, in asking me what's my point?

    Have women evolved so much?

    Right! MY wife can pull a four hundred pound coal cart whilst breastfeeding twins, she lectures in quantum physics at a charity school for ethnic minority orphans. I am so socialist that I was once arrested near a coal mine on suspicion of being Arthur Scargill's left plimsoll. Despite also...

    Have women evolved so much?

    Albeit that there is a large degree of crossover, it's total bollox to dismiss gender differences. It's also very true that historically the contribution to society made by women has been undervalued. It's a moot point whether or not the female contribution to civilisation is greater, lesser or...

    First hazel bow (in progress!)

    That's a great first bow mate. You did really well. I wouldn't worry at all about the power. Buy a single loop dacron string ( a decent string will improve your bows cast, paracord is too stretchy) and make a leather handle, that's a keeper.

    A scandi with fingerguard

    That's superb! The guard is kind of scagelesque. That type of guard might look cool on a leuku (sp?)

    First hazel bow (in progress!)

    BB, It's looking good. You don't keep it full width for it's full length. If you slowly taper down the sides from mid limb to about half the width at the tips you'll get more of the bow working and take the strain off of the handle area. If you post these pics on paleoplanet primitive archery...

    Finnish Forging & Rancid Leather

    Now that's just got something about it! Great job.

    My first bow finnished(ish)

    Nice work! That's damn good for a first. Only the elite few make a shooter first time out and most of these come in at about 20lb, I know mine did at least. I'm a novice too but if I could suggest one thing, the back of your bow seems to have tool marks on it, looks like you've decrowned a...

    Makers stamp for burning into wood (part of historic recriation project)

    Am I being thick, or couldn't you just bend wire into a sig shape and blast it with a brule torch to brand your wood?
