    Lichen

    Common Haggis. Specifically Communus Haggii. First discovered when a highland sorcerer fell in a pool of haggis urine (they all urinate in the same spot, having compacted the ground and lined it with lichen). When he was dragged out his previously plain skirt was dyed in a perfect tartan.
  3. I was thinking it could represent my 'hope' chart for the coming week. Predicting a yellow on Square 4-3 and a green on Square 5-4.
  4. Afternoon all. This idea that the morning is whenever you get round to signing the register seems to be trending lately so I've been influenced!

Keyhole Slider WWW.CHRISFORESTRY.CO.UK Slider with keyhole plate for choker chains - various sizes available Chain Choker 7mm WWW.CHRISFORESTRY.CO.UK Square Profile Choker Chain with needle Thickness: 7mm Breaking load (kN): 60 (6ton) Length (m): 2m or 2.5 metres...
  9. Doesn't look bad to me. The swivel just helps allow the cable to untwist better, even a length of rope between anchor and hook would help. I don't think the fraying is significant, openspaceman may disagree, much more knowledgeable than I.
