Re: Wood burning stoves
Does anyone actually use these things on tour? Though neat looking (always in favour of free stuff, particularly fuel) I can't help but see them as a picnic novelty. And if you have to carry your own fuel with the thing, bison litter or whatever, what's really the point/advantage? And that bison li...

Re: Audiobooks ?
if you dont want to read but listen many ebook readers will also speak the text. The speech is tolerable once you get used to it. There are lots of sources for free ebooks. And many libraries have ebook libraries but the problem there is they are encrypted so your reader needs to be one that the lib...

Re: FILUMS ..to see.
Not sure if I have mentioned this before. I was looking thru my media centre and remembered the film called "The Warriors" which is the story of street gangs in 1950-60 New York. It is rather stylised than gritty . It starts off with Cyrus the leader of a dominant gang calling a meeting of...

Re: WInter 2020 : Covid-19 : 2nd Lockdown
Since Covid19+ seems to have started in London and the SE I wouldnt be surprised if it came from the EU in the first place since there are so many foreigners here, rather than being a home grown mutation. I wonder if the EU is looking for new strains at all. The frustrating thing is that this state...

Re: Gas stove or petrol?
as well as the woood burner I also have a colemans petrol stove. Riding a motor bike just syphon some from the m/c tank. The only trouble is there is very little control its either full burn or nothing really. I haven yet had a blocked fuel line that is supposed to be the problem with petrol. I woul...

Re: Wood burning stoves
I got my cat litter from Tesco. It is very similar to the pellets burned in Biomass systems, but much smaller in size. I have to say that I haven't had any problems with the grate clogging. I fill it two thirds full and get around thirty five minutes of a burn. More than enough for a brew or a one ...

The EU is asking the member states to remove the travel ban with the UK. Individual states can, of course, exercise their own border controls. Who would have thought!
Since the new strain was prevalent in London it was probably brought in by EU people coming here in the first place.

Re: Dior J'adore ad
Am I alone in finding this current ad campaign unsettling? OIP (4).jpg it is clearly appropriation of African women who wear those neck coils. ( who cares ) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Kayan_woman_with_neck_rings.jpg/400px-Kayan_woman_with_neck_rings.jpg

Re: Conspiracy Theories....
Conspiracy theories are nonsense. They're deliberately planted by a secret group led by George Soros and Bill Gates in order to deflect attention from their attempt to run the world from their undersea volcano. The Chinese government through their control of 5G make our minds more susceptible to th...

So the 1980s film Flash Gordon has got an advisory warning for Ming the terrible being played by a whitey rather than an asian ( Max Von Sydow.)
