  1. Aye. It’s cooled down and set into a surprisingly stiff biryani type thing. Soaked up the normal amount of water you’d cook rice in independently, a full litre of coconut milk in hot water and a bit extra. You’d think it’d be runnier.
  2. Does the memory mode in the blurb mean I can set it to high and have click, on, click, off forever?
  3. I had high hopes for this £12 eBay one but the switch is rubbish. Very bright, magnetic base and comes with head strap so I still semi recommend them but too crap for hoiking from one’s pocket for a split second job.
  4. Parklife!
  5. Big pan, fry meat and onion, push to edge, fry spices, quench with coconut milk. Today I put the rice and extra water in too, hence water.
  6. First stovetop curry of the season. Running a bit late. Also don’t have a lemon so made do with washing the pan with lemon Fairy.
  7. Cheers. The first was me.
  8. What am I listening to? Endless tweaked mixes of songs for the forthcoming EP (out 1st December - make a note in your diaries; there’ll be traffic jams outside your local HMV). Two tracks still need finishing by the end of this month. We’re all fairly sick of them. Can’t play you those but I can shamelessly plug the last single. Again, ten figurative points for identifying the artwork.
  9. Blame the poofs.
  10. Yep. I thought I was being clever but alas not. As we were.
  11. Lower ratio I assume you mean? ie Higher gearbox revs for equivalent wheel speed.
  12. He won't take them to the police next time will he.
  13. Because non-coppers don't get anonymity as a matter of course.
  14. A big hat to pull down over your eyes for a five hour lunch.
  15. I have a Whitby lambsfoot with a ridiculously strong spring. The things we do for fashion.
  16. Right trouser pocket on any day with a Y in it. Knife changes from time to time. Been looking for a smaller, simpler torch for a while. I just want on and off. All the cheap ones have loads of stupid modes. Loathed to spend literally 20-100x the money (yep, really) on Surefire though when I don’t need to clear rooms with it.
  17. Yeah. One of those except bright yellow. I'll buy another and it's sure to turn up.
  18. I’ve very annoyingly lost Sailor’s 211.5. Taken off its usual string for a system change and never returned. Carelessness that will haunt me forever.
  19. I was wearing DPM waterproof trousers this morning. They work well enough. I don’t use equivalently cheap scopes. They don’t work well enough. A lot of what you get when you buy a pukka scope is confidence. Frees up brain space to do all the other things you need to do to make a shot. Nagging doubts like that your windage clicks aren’t clicking will make you overthink and doubt yourself and you’ll talk yourself into bad wind calls.
  20. My old scout leader used to give out Opinels at ceremonial junctures; being made a seconder or a sixer etc. Then the next size up at your next stage of progression. Brilliant idea I thought. Cheap and stays with you for life. When I became a scout leader, the law was such that I couldn’t do the same thing so I sexually abused them instead.
  21. A £1000 rifle will shoot lights out these days. I wouldn’t hesitate to put a £2000 scope on a £200 rifle either. They can shoot too. The scope is more important.
  22. Viewed in isolation, Mark ‘Lofty’ Bolam has the biggest pedestrian skidsteer in the country.
  23. When considering budget, look at the cost of a trip to Bisley and the cost of ammo. Then decide how much you can afford to piss away on a scope that doesn’t track. I’m very economic but one of the things I’ll spend money on without flinching is rifle scopes.
  24. Well it’s having another go now so you’ve got about half an hour if you need to go to the shop or anything.
