You're not even a word Mark

More complicated than the way I was shown.

That's a lot looser than I know it. For me it's much like your pic but tighter, fist size or a little bigger. If you fold the bit you're holding over the loops it doesn't unravel and you can use it as a weight. The truckers hitch was probably the first proper knot I learned from dad for tying stuff on the trailer. Used it to great effect on bale trailers on the farm, don't think we had ratchet straps then.

Monkey's fist. You can have it loose so it unravels or tuck the last bit back through the rest to keep it locked together so it stays as a fist after you've thrown it.

I like the anchor for that too but never met anyone that uses it.

School moto?

Bring the hot rod?

Will do Pete. If you want to bring Jase up with you he's welcome too, I hear he doesn't get out so much!

I'll never forget the Escort Christmas special. It was a hawthorn hedge adjacent to a field entrance from a C road. "Santa Comes But Once A Year!". I knew he'd be ok that year as soon as I saw his new elf recruits on page 4.

Morning all. Physio first thing this morning which inevitably leads to a full breakfast at the cafe. You may have noticed I don't need much of an excuse for that, but the physio tells me it's good to have a 'self care' day occasionally so best follow the professional advice. If anyone's at a loose end you're welcome to join me! Have a good one folks.

Bet the Guinness Book were interested in that achievement! We did once have 10 in a Shogun but I don't think it counts if you end the journey in an ambulance

When I was just drinking age a group of us used to go to other towns for a night out, we'd have needed a minibus to get us all back but we knew a guy called Ghost taxi's who'd take as many as would fit in as long as he could take a back road and it was after dark, always charged 'a pound a skull' and kicked us out on the outskirts of town!

Similar thoughts today by the look of it

Reminds me of the youth rugby sevens tournaments. Our team often travelled in one of the parents car together. I remember one Saturday when it was so wet the local joinery business sent out it's workers with yard brushes to sweep the water off the pitch, after the tournament we were all sent to the burn and stripped off to get clean before being allowed to wedge ourselves into a Honda civic in our underpants to head home. One of our coaching team was the local bobby.

The good old days, when there weren't any strangers in the world and no-one used puppies for nefarious reasons.

You identify as a glue sniffing delinquent then

21/24 for me, and 4/5 of Mick's, but as I identify as a rich, handsome, virile young hunk with vast life experience it's fine.

She's got a flair for it, that looks like I could eat it for pudding.

Be interested to know how it was done. Any pics?
