  1. No, the joke is that people would laugh at you for not wanting to perform basic maintenance on a saw.
  2. Maybe there should also have been a note at the start of the thread reminding everyone that it isn't about covid.
  3. That's right, stay in character until the big reveal.
  4. Yer man hedgemong, or his alter-alias, could learn a lot from this thread. The OP is subtle enough to be believable, but with just an occasional descent into the outlandish. This character has the potential for a much longer run. The Hedgemong shtick isnt particularly engrossing, but I'm genuinely curious as to who created this one.
  5. Man, that was dull.
  6. Dry them, pickle them, ferment them, freeze them. Or process them into soup, pasta sauce, or just fried in butter... then freeze in portions.
  7. Sorry for the late reply. Can now confirm, does not work
  8. I reckon most people kind of know this, but are happy to indulge in the ridiculousness of the talking points for a bit of chatter.
  9. In fact, scrap that, remove the beech and replace them with a dozen tightly-spaced leylandii.
  10. Leave them alone, keep the next generation of climbers in work.
  11. Those bay boletes are simmering with a few puffballs and shop bought for soup, anyway. No murders here.
  12. Just heard about that! Scary stuff.
  13. Daughter's fifth birthday for that round nosed Opinel, the 4 year old lad there will be getting his own next year. Nothing wrong with introducing them to blades early on, that's why God gave us so many fingers to practice on.
  14. Time well spent:
  15. Ground elder needs harvesting early, or it renders you disastrously leaky. Apparently. Re: nettles. The most disappointing pot herb to forage. A thousand times less rewarding, both spiritually and culinarily, than the equivalent weight of fungi, fruit, or nuts. Nothing but angry spinach.
  16. I hear you dude, but the proteins in your egg there start to denature at 63 centipedes or something, so piping hot just ain't gonna happen for a whole bunch of foods. You can't have, for example, a boiling-hot bearnaise sauce...
  17. Don't want to sound like a dick, but that sounds like user error. You shouldn't really be doing this on the heat... you are using the residual heat of the pasta and the pan to cook the egg. Maybe heat #1 if you are cooking a big batch for many people, with multiple eggs. Also of mention: whole egg lemon tart, whole egg creme anglais... etc.
  18. Whole egg carbonara is a thing.
  19. List them.
  20. I climb so infrequently that I've never invested in a bit of kit, I just climb on a knot. Having climbed regularly on a zigzag before that, I ****************ing hate it. I cannot imagine climbing day to day without something fancy, like your playing the game with one hand tied behind your back just for the hell of it. Mental.

    Hey up.

    Due to magnetic declination, the vertical has shifted about a quarter of a degree in the last 10 years. Be sure to aim your rope ever so slightly skewiff to compensate.
  22. Better make it two access lines. Much safer.
  23. It's all very exciting, isn't it. Can't wait for the next episode.
  24. It's like you live in a different world.
  25. Mate, it really seems like you're the only one having difficulty imagining the setup that led to this question. At this stage I reckon you are just being willfully obtuse.
