I agree with all of this. Especially Kurt Vonnegut reading. I love his piece about not knowing what is the good news and what is the bad news in life. You can never tell until a situation plays all the way out. And that when he gets to the pearly gates the first thing he’s going to ask is...

For just £5 a month…..

Madness

Ha! People still think you’d come onto a political thread on NSC and get a sensible political debate? It’s all part of the cut and thrust. As long as it doesn’t get personal, I’d say either get stuck in or avoid at all costs 🤣

Both sides bogged down in trench and urban warfare. Moving a few miles each way here and there. Ukraine desperately pushing for long rage permission to break the stalemate before Putin gets frustrated and goes from ballistic to nuclear.

Because when I get hold of a suspect, they aren’t getting away.

Helikon make some great stuff. Suppliers to the Polish military, this stuff is used regularly on Arctic expeditions and by Arctic researchers. Obviously the fleeces etc. They also do great waterproof jackets and outer shells. They do a lot of stuff very well indeed.

Mad fucker, Liz Truss attempts to make herself relevant again . https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/sep/30/liz-truss-tories-would-have-done-better-in-uk-election-if-i-had-stayed-pm

Ha! I got it years ago. It was actullay one of the cheaper Barbour jackets as it didn’t really sell very well at all. Then Bond wore it in Skyfall. I paid £100 for it. Now it goes for £400 - £600. *smug grin* It doesn’t get worn that often though. Most days I wear my much cheaper Game wax...

I have a Barbour Beacon and do the same. I’ve been to the Barbour factory / workshop Always a huge rail of jackets awaiting restoration and re-waxing.

Victoria Sponge.

And absolutely perfect for getting lashed by salt waves and howling wind. Probably not great for hiking or climbing?

One of my favourite American actors. That’s sad but he left a great legacy and 88 is a good age to die.

Been looking at arcteryx stuff. I like the look of it but don’t know anyone that uses their stuff. Is it worth the money?

I love a wax jacket. My latest one has a hood but I ha done before that didn’t. I got a hood with poppers online and took it to a seamstress who married the two.
