I can do 2 of the black ones no problem, will have to have a rummage for another silve one though

How many do you need?

You can get free OS maps here, I print screen then stitch pages together in photoshop for printing

Watched Changling t'other day, wasn't expecting much as it's very 'Hollywoody' but it was fantastic

you have to put your password in every time you use itunes

I had my ipod touch nicked and only then realised what a nightmare it was in terms of passwords and things. Facebook, twitter, email, all sorts of websites automatically logged in and so on

Hopefully the new ones will have a remote shutdown like the new iphones

There’s also the question of whether these 4 people died of swine flu or with swine flu

Not an exact transcript but they all seem to go:

Stranger: boy?
You: yes
Your conversational partner has disconnected

My tuppence: in a bivvy you have no redundancy when everything goes tits up

STAB.

Which selection did you pass?

He punched him in the arm, which they’re supposed to do instead of trying to force cuffs on people

If you want to join the Army, don’t wait, do it

Be aware though you won’t be doing anything in the way of greeny warry stuff in the ALS. You’ll also be regarded as a failed civvie lawyer :D

I’m not much of a gamer but think the 360 is excellent. By far the best thing is that you can copy games to the hard drive and play them off that. No fannying around with discs and no whirring drive to listen to

To think that this option came from a free update is pretty good going

5.10 also do great approach shoes

Ok it does show that they’re charging the full amount then refunding the £30, but that seems pretty fishy to me, they said over the phone the code shouldn’t be used

Check your bank account if you’ve ordered one, they took the full £72 from mine even though they accepted the order at £42. They were nice enough on the phone and cancelled it but it sounds like the code has some other criteria that aren’t being copied along with the code itself

D’oh, they’ve charged me the full £72 whack! Careful!

Good shout! Ordered

Going by my gym no one will use anything that doesn’t have a TV built into it which would probably negate any power produced

Softies are always a good buy, I have a 3 that is fine for UK bivvying. I’d much rather carry spare layers than a monster sleeping bag

I doubt it took many tyres deft – they seem to be rock-hard (and buttered)

I’d rather see almost any rally coverage than that staged kack
I was noting the 1″ of rubber caked onto the tarmac at the tricky points :)

Must have taken a lot of goes (and tyres) to get it right

If you get hold of the serial/USB cable for it there is a free program called EasyGPS for importing/exporting waypoints and tracks

I use http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm to get the coords for the waypoints I want then use EasyGPS to send them to the device. You can also import your saved track recorded on the Garmin to see things like the elevation profile

The Etrex H is best used with a paper map though, the trick is to set up that custom screen on it to show what you need at the time and you rarely have to fiddle with anything after that

We must really be in the shart if someone would rather get their nob or piles out on Channel 4 than see a GP

Fritzl on Grand Designs

I guess this is the same rush that makes some people pay more than the new RRP for a second hand item :)

Ask him?

Despite the fact of driving through an ambush is actually routine for all military vehicles drivers in the British Army in Iraq, the politically correct Ministry of Defence decided to elevate this particular occasion to something worthy of the VC.

They then go on to compare Beharry’s citation to that of ‘real’ VC recipients such as Sgt Ian McKay

Digusting.

There’s this as well from The Sun: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/campaigns/our_boys/article2434243.ece

A week after Nick Griffin admitted on Daily Politics (through gritted teeth) that the Gurkha’s should be allowed to stay

They’re such a shambles of a party, yet if you read comments on the Daily Mail there is a worrying amount of ‘they’re the only ones who can sort this mess out’. About half of their councillors ended up standing down for being useless and/or criminals

Do it at the post office, takes about a minute and earns them some money

Run run run run run run run run run

Had a look at the National Trail ones in shop today and the maps seem pretty up to date. Will certainly be taking proper maps as well though, like you say there isn’t much leeway if you stray east or west

Snaps: Cheers! Seems there are 2 books with 1:25k mapping of the route, will probably pair that with my own printed off 1:50k

gusamc: Thanks for that :)

Margaret Moran, the Labour MP for Luton, spent £22,500 of taxpayers’ money treating dry rot at her and her husband’s seaside house 100 miles from her constituency – days after switching her “second home” there.

Over four years she also spent thousands of pounds on three separate properties, switching between Westminster, Luton and Southampton and renovating each home in turn.

Worst offender?

Some jammers from figleaves? They’ve got some for a tenner atm down from £35 and there’s a free delivery code floating about somewhere

I got a free thing of Nivea Silver Protect t’other day. I’ve not tried it yet, but I’ll support the theory of marketing and suggest it to you anyway

Questiiiions! The software looks great, is there anything similar I can use (free) with my eTrex? Might invest in the PC cable for it

Went round the red today, there’s a new bit open now (but still quite a lot closed off)

http://vimeo.com/4499979

The new bit is at 3:19, looks a bit flat in the video but it was good fun, just before the big berm there’s a table top

Do you have a track in the memory?
