*The* Gift-It-On Thread

[Harvestman]

Ooooh, I've just thought - here's my offer;

The Mercian Maquis - see Amazon link

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mercian-Maq...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1328723384&sr=1-1
Synopsis


This book deals with the shadowy Auxiliary Units, formed in Herefordshire and Worcestershire in 1940, which would have operated behind a German invasion force advancing on England's industrial heartland. Organised into patrols of about half a dozen men, their role would have been to carry out acts of sabotage and terror whilst the Regular Army regrouped for counter offensives. From carefully camouflaged underground Operational Bases liberally supplied with explosives and arms and constructed in woodland on high ground, patrol members would have set out at night to harry the invader. This was to be done in the knowledge that they and their families risked summary execution if captured.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Off topic, but there's one of those shelters near me, and I've been inside it. Absolutely fascinating. Doubt I could find it again though.

Huh ?

Rich_ was banned, another of Beenn's alter egos
If he pm's anyone (he usually gets another account to do so) please let the Mod's know. That's over a dozen accounts we've banned of his

Sorry to nose, but why exactly was he banned? I'm sure he was my secret santa but he got booted off just as I received it.

Multiple accounts pretending to be other people and also claiming to be over 18 in order to get a knife, or 2, or 3. He also had his gear "stolen" a few too many times to believe relying on the goodwill of members of this forum only to popup with some new gear shortly after. Bad form.

Eek, just traded with Rich_

Anyway, on offer from resnikov:

On offer more horn. 2 slabs.

There's a great site somewhere with them all plotted out on google earth, I can't remember the name now though, it'll come to me. Saying that I can't even remember what they're called.

I think this is out of order, Ged. The suggestion of a quiet word can so easily turn into a witch hunt. Whatever Beenn may have done there is no need to broadcast his address, or part of it, (assuming that's what it is,) on these pages.

If you feel so strongly about it perhaps you should lead by example instead of making bullets for others to fire.

Possibly too busy in chat with that spammer bloke to have noticed. Give it a couple of days, meantime have a look for another back up gift. Often it can hang for days then a flurry of postings occur. Having a back up handy is always advisable though. Just my personal experience.

On offer from Suberban Bushwacker - A hardback copy of Colin Elford's "A year in the woods." Just like this book linked below.

[Man of Tanith]

great book that got a copy myself highly recommend it

 

[suburban bushwacker]

Given the number of threads on this site asking what it would be like to live in the woods for a year i thought this would have been snapped up.

I think I'll leave it on offer over the weekend before a rummage for something less suitable

Could I take the book please? I love books like that!
