Shame I gave up proper smoking, it ought to be filmed in a haze of cigarette smoke really...

picks up irresponsibly thrown toys and throws them back into the pram. please do not litter this forum with discarded toys. a young child may find one and choke on it.

Sorry Parky, didnt explain- I threw them in the direction of a playgroup after making sure they were disinfected and passed as safe by H & S.( God Bless them)

I hate technology, typed "another" wordy" wine induced response and hit the wrong effing key, and it gone. But thankfully I see that some sense seems to have been restored, Cheers Restless

I have no Birth Certificate, does that make me American, Taliban, or an illegal (illiterate) imigrant.

Terry, next video we do, can we make sure all we do is you filming me farting and belching whilst discussing football, birds and gear, which let's face it what I do mainly... so people stop thinking all I do when out camping is ponder the meaning of life... please

 Better make sure I dont camp with you 2,  Football is a tarts sport  - Rugby Union is a mans game, woman do play to, Birds, I hope you are talking feathers, as I couldnt have my ears harmed by sexist talk, and farting, sorry that does breach H & S. OH have you managed to light it yet usinga steel?

Oh, have you Belching is mildly acceptable after a quality freeze dried meal, washed down with a good malt

Gear is acceptable, as long as it is avialable at a reasonable price, with good service etc etc. Just to get back on the theme

I'm done  and gone never to return and need to decide on where to go for some QMD's no crowds, new area and no one to please apart from MOI

Rugby? That sport where the aim seem to grope as many blokes as possible and squeeze your head in another blokes butt cheeks...Ice hockey, that's a proper manly sport

A "quality freeze dried meal" does not compute, sorry....but the malt bit does.

Have fun Jerry, you not going to miss much I think....

BTW, don't blame the forum for being unfriendly.

It's me that thinks you are a Walter Mitty.

I don't blame the forum - it's remarks such as yours and how you're doing a Groundhog Day act with me that's unfriendly.

Like I said, you know nothing about me - I'm actually sat here bewildered by your 'Walter Mitty' remarks!

You got no idea - what do you want me to do? Tell you my life story, blood type, experiences et al just so I gain some approval from your not so kind (to me) self?

Meet me for a pint someday - and I promise you'll think very differently, Mike.

I'm orgainising a social meet in August - I'll give you a shout and you're welcome to come along and make your mind up proper as to the nature of my character you so love to belittle

And I mean that - with all good intentions

As you say, i know knothing about the 'real' you. You're probably a good bloke that i would enjoy a pint with. It's your blog that i struggle with. I don't usually read it, but someone asked me to check something on it the other day.

Maybe it is just me, but if i think someone is too full of themselves, i can't resist tweaking their tail. Especially if they are a secret agent who can't talk about things.

try Alpkit.com

their kit is the real deal at a bargain price. And, I know none of them!

I know i'm supposed to say this, as Terry is a great friend of mine, but he's an humble and down to earth bloke, which i'm sure you'd agree if you ever met him.

Blogs/reviews, they come in many flavours, i have a few bookmarked, one i don't read, and it's no reflection on the author, ptc, i hate the text/ background colours on his blog, the white text burns an impression on my feckin eyeballs. 

Quite simply, i don't read it, though i wish he'd make it more "eye friendly" so i could. 

Mike, come down to the little hills for the meet, the hills aren't so big, but the welcome would be.

I could also check those base weights you post.
