  1. Too late. I live a nine hour drive away and even I figured that one out lol. 😜
  2. I've got some flat batteries going cheap. They're free of charge...
  3. Folk, folk/blues really. Abner is still my favourite though:
  4. Anyone else like Charlie Parr? I love his slide playing.
  5. Chuck that in a cupboard ever so slightly damp and you'll cry... Of course if it was made of willow bast, you could get several millennia out of it, if looked after. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antrea_Net#:~:text=The Antrea Net is one,is dated to 8540 BCE.&text=The net was found by,his home farm Ämmä-Mattila.
  6. The bodies are a gutted Khyber Martini-Henry and an M4 forend.
  7. The hole punch was invented in 1886. The International Boxing Commission banned the move in 1887.
  8. Even as stripped to components Germany is bloody awful and requires loads of paperwork. I wouldn't fuck about with Turkish plod. If anything goes wrong... Post to Russia via Royal Mail is still fine. Take the things apart and declare as parts, but you've no insurance if it all goes wrong. Russia Start date: 28 February 2022 Latest Update: 26 June 2023 End date: Ongoing Incident: Service availability Latest Update We are still despatching postal items to Russia. We are continually monitoring the situation and will provide an update if there are any changes to our service moving forward.
  9. Leather is rated based on its texture. Cows with abundant water sources typically have softer hides, rated 'A'. Hides from cows living in hot, dry climates are typically D-hide rated.
  10. I used to as a Fizzy riding kid. Then my Dad bought me some Derry boots. After the first night in a well heated pub, I went back to the bloody bags!
  11. Most people have heard of Karl Marx, but fewer know of his sister, the pioneering runner Onya. Tribute is still paid to her, and she is mentioned before each race!
  12. My wife just asked me if I'd seen the dog bowl. I didn't even know it played cricket!
  13. Binfluencer (noun): Person who puts the right bin out on the right day, letting everyone else on the street know which bin to take out. Particularly useful over Christmas and New Year when no one knows what day it is.
  14. Nope. I should have said modern jungle issue German boots. I remember those bloody German 80s things. Rock hard and the soles always came unglued! Pissing in them did work wonders though. Somewhere on here there is a whole thread derailed by a conversation about the effects of ammonia laden piss on boots. 😆
  15. Decided, for the first time, to try the January sales and it's doing my head in! Went to Boots, they don't sell boots.. Went to Currys, they don't sell curry.. Went to Selfridges, they don't sell fridges.. As for Virgin Megastore, what a let down that was!
  16. Went to a New Years party dressed up as a load of breadcrumbs. The birds were all over me!
  17. What he said!!! I have planter fasciitis, tarsal tunnel and arthritis in my slightly deformed, very narrow feet. Insoles from my local NHS podiatrists every 18 months or so and supportive, correct sized boots are key, as is pain management. I have accumulated almost a lifetimes supply of size nine army surplus narrow fit boots from Germany (the best), Sweden, and loads from the UK. Civvi US boots come in a myriad of fitments too. You can also go the private route and have your feet and gait measured and insoles made commercially. I have to use pain killers to play. I also train in a soft floored gym at least twice a week in bare (bound and taped) feet. The exercise cuts my pain meds by at least a third. Support, exercise and dealing with the minimised pain that remains is all that you can do. Good luck and don't worry, you can get there in the end.
  18. I went to Poland on holiday. Bloody useless. Not a Tellytubby in sight!
  19. In this season of celebration, Jesus was born weighing exactly 8lbs 6oz. How did they know that? Because they had a weigh in a manger.
