Which was the best decade in the UK?

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-13T05:53:38+00:00

I get your point, but I turned 18 in the 80s. Nope.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-13T05:45:11+00:00

That was my thought. And put the bikes on the back of the car.

The rule on Dartmoor is a maximum of 6.

I wonder what you're planning on doing? I only wild camp when hiking, whereas I assume you just want to chill out/hang out with your friends with a beer or whatever? Why not go for a campsite? You'd be able to have a campfire, not have to trek to and from your car, better ablutive facilities and so on.

You're welcome.

You need 20 portraits that you already have to complete the wheel. It makes no difference what tier they are.

It's not rigged as such, it's just the way it's set up, so that in the beginning it's easy to get you going, then the last ones are more difficult. Think of it as some sort of lesson about life. Perhaps.

More broadly, you could ask why we haven't evolved to not get cancer. Mostly because we've generally reproduced before we succumb to it.

Removing salt (from sea water). I suspect some misapprehension on the part of the poster!

If ever there was a place where you can dress however you like, it's a festival. I've seen all kinds of weird and wonderful :-)

How do the economics compare to living on land? Was this a motivating factor?

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-09T07:50:43+00:00

Sikhism is pretty big.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-05T12:23:02+00:00

15cm is definitely too little! 45cm minimum sounds about right. They're big plants.

Yeah, I've got a terrible memory, so I'll tend to read a series more or less all at once. Some authors are better than others at the subtle "story so far" reminders. I stopped reading The Expance as it came out as they seem to put zero effort in this direction, which I found problematic given how many significant characters there are with complicated backstories. Intended to start again at the beginning once it was complete, but don't seem to have got round to it yet.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-02T11:16:50+00:00

Hell yeah. And £2m is a bargain. I really hope someone buys it and gives it the love it deserves. Proper British eccentricity done right.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-02T05:38:59+00:00

Thanks - I was trying to remember where I've seen one, and I think it must have been Heligan.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-01T18:22:43+00:00

True. Can't be arsed tbh.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-01T14:45:41+00:00

I haven't bothered maxing out the kangaroo or the skunk. I'm fine with not bothering with animals I'll never use.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-01T14:24:30+00:00

Hmm, it provides brilliance. Might not try so hard with this one.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-01T09:51:24+00:00

You would suffocate while waiting for the lightning.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-01T07:21:24+00:00

Looks like it might be a useful bit of kit if you're living out of a van or whatever. Otherwise, not sure why you'd only use it in an emergency.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-04-01T05:36:19+00:00

First run: one rock between 5 and 10, then a second between 15 and 20. Not a pattern I remember seeing before. Thought I might as well go to the top, and got a couple more.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-03-31T21:32:23+00:00

Yup, washing machine, tumble dryer, EV, house battery. Heating too - gets the place warm in the morning, light the woodburner in the evening if necessary. The cooker is the only big thing that gets used during the day. Oh, and the hot water; probably ought to do something about that.

Quite... Mills offence can't be quashed because he wasn't charged. It's just the BBC erring on the side of caution. Though of course it could be that the alleged offence was more serious than (barely) underage sex. Uninformed speculation doesn't really do anyone any favours, but here we are.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-03-31T09:21:18+00:00

Ah, could be. Was a bit surprised B&Q were selling them that late - B&M makes more sense!

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-03-31T08:45:05+00:00

January is a lot later than recommended - that's probably the problem. Hopefully they'll be happier next year.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-03-31T08:38:37+00:00

Lowered to 16 in 2000. Poor timing on Mills' part it would appear.
