Scummy bar stewards. Nice springers.

Chrondostereum purpureum?

I made some when I was about 13. I found the recipe in a book, bought the ingredients from the chemist shop and ground them together in my bedroom. The test went well. A match dropped into the cup on the window sill followed by a fast burn and a room full of smoke. Good job I hadn't discovered you had to pack it to make it go bang:001_smile: Home-made cannon came later. Great fun firing nuts and bolts through the shed walls. How did we survive childhood?

You could have a look at the mushroom growing thread:001_smile:

Keep cutting that hinge when they start to fall.....but not all the way through!

Dryad looked everywhere for his saddle.

Yeah I know. You had curtains!

A little kid then

Keep up the good work. It's good to know the EA are now allowing this when at one time it was as quckly to the sea as possible.

Yes and the Dove and Churnet.

Is that Bentley brook?

I'm just about old enough to remember '63 as a little kid. The hamlet where we lived had no mains water...just a pump in our field. My Dad had to thaw it every morning by setting fire to straw around it, carry water to the house, water horse, pigs and chickens then cycle to work 4 miles to work outside all day. Evening was a reversal of this. One log fire and all windows frozen up in the morning. I can just remember seeing water hens frozen into the brook that flowed by the house and walking up it. Now...2" of snow and the !"$!1!in' country is at a standstill! Eeee..that's nothing

Yes it's usually the early and late snow which tends to be wet and heavy. This is nice powdery stuff...no good for snowmen:001_smile:

Well I must have been feelin down. Nothing like a big old veteran to fire you up. What's retiring:001_smile:

Charlie. I'd certainly be interested in looking at the tree. Never had one that defeated me...but there's always a first:001_smile: Be good to keep an old black pop going I'm half an hour from Ashbourne.

How bored do those kids have to be to try that! They need another outlet for their energies.

Depends on the organic content of the clay. How old's the house? Many old properties were built on minimal footings or just corbelled brickwork.

...and the waters of wormwood were inhabited by sirens of great beauty and inebriation

A devotee of the Green Fairy. I climbed a 5' wormwood.

Good idea. I'll just carry on till I fall out of my tree. I won't be seen dead going to the gym:001_smile:

First time I've seen this thread too. Big decision to move on. This has been flying around my empty head for a while but I can't seem to let go. At 52 with over 30 years climbing behind me what do I do? I've always striven to do the best work I possibly can and shudder when I see some examples of work around the country...one of the reasons I persist in climbing! Until this year I haven't felt any slower or less proficient but the accumulated bumps, breaks etc catch up. So when do you call it a day and step aside and what do you do?

The Stones at their best with probably one of THE best songs of all time. Lisa Fischer is pretty sexy too. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JePvjyZ9K0A[/ame]

It's there but it ain't very big:001_smile: as theactress said to the bishop

Certainly no restrictions on mine.
