Beware netted keepnets! As far as I'm aware, conventional netting isn't considered humane for fish that are to be returned - the knots tear up their scales and such.

Has anyone slept in both a fabric and a net hammock? I'm sure net ones are more comfy, but I couldn't swear to it - the only type I've slept in was netting.

Cheers guys! No doubt I'll have questions from Becky to pass on soon enough. Thanks for the info so far. :D :D

Ooh yeah, looks like good grub. I reckon that good veggie food is the best test of a good restaurant - making nice steak isn't too hard, but making a nice veggie pie demands real cooking skill.

Try tying the leatherman to your trousers. That's what I did with my SAK, and I never lost it. I had a knife and keys tied to one side, a phone tied to the other and a lighter on a string 'round my neck. :D :cool:

Wow, I suck compared to all you guys! ;) My dad once had dinner with Bill Nighy... One of my ancestors lived in a place called "Mudhall"... Ian Hislop (and Terry Thomas!) went to my school... I'm going to have to get out and about, aren't I? :D :)

Yeah, loads! If you don't plan on keeping it longer than a few weeks, the cheap knock-offs are just as good as the real thing. :)

Nice pub lunch you say? :D Now there's a good idea. I imagine we'll turn up at about ten-ish, have a nice potter 'round the woods, then head for the pub about noon for a lunch and some sharp things :) I take it the Fat Cat serves good food? Maybe even real cider?

Depends what kinds of things there are, really... If there's a decent sized secluded wood then it doesn't need to be very big, because we can entertain ourselves pottering about looking at birds and things. If not, then a good couple of hours walk with some hills. Basically we're planning on...

Nice one guys! :D I'll present those options to SWMBO tonight - I'm sure one of them will get the green light. :cool: Shiny things here I come! :) :)

Hi there chaps. I'm going up to Sheffield tomorrow for the BB meet, and her indoors has promised to drive me there if I can find us somewhere nice to go for a walk beforehand. I see that Sheffield is right next door to the peak district, so hopefuly someone will have some local knowledge and...

Bah! ***** the blisters, push them flat then carry on! The flap of skin re-attaches to the flesh underneath. :cool: :D

Ooooh that looks useful. Seems like a real-world group is the best bet - I'll point her to that website. Cheers!

That's bloody marvellous. When you compare the reaction of most Britons to the kind of stuff we saw after the WTC, it brings a tear to the eye *sniff* *sniff* :) Even the Sun was clever enough to say that hostility between muslims and christians is exactly what bin Laden wants, and I haven't...

Woo hoo! Thanks to venger's wonderful wood site, I now know what my mystery wood is: <drum roll> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbeam :D :D Apparently it's rarely used due to its extreme hardness. :cool: :cool: They make things like meat tenderizers and piano action hammers out...

Oooooh :D :D That's a very cool site! :) Now I just need a circular saw and power planer! ;)

I've been assigned a new task today: I'm making her indoors a spindle, so she can spin wool. :D It occured to me that she might like to browse around some forums - she always tut-tuts at me for my addiction to bcuk and BB :o :cool: soooo... I'm wondering whether anyone spins or knits...

Hahahah. "salt water" broke the auto-censor! :)

Good choice of reading material! :)

Yeah, no problem. Making a hammock is no more difficult than making a simple net, so netting is a really useful skill to learn. :)
