no dude, I am way senior than you here, but because I have deleted my account then created a new one so it shows the new date.. I am here since Jan 19, 2012
@JoErNanO No, I don't do anything inside or around the Tower. You need to be satisfied with what's on the plate :) I might do a Napoleon Route later this year, but it's iffy at the moment.
@JoErNanO It looks like @pnuts has that one in hand. And what's the problem with the Bank of England? Do you know why the image of Britannia on the 10 pound note has three bumblebees? eh? EH???
Did you ever actually lift a solid bar of gold? :)
I liked that museum well enough for a short visit, but I would not call it the best place for anything (But money) and best for UK people as there is a high percentage of 'do you remember that.'
I have tried to lift that bar but that was one of the few highlights
I know I should be more subtle but am impatient (specially when in and out of a house all day where outdoor shoes are not worn inside). Many thanks for the link - I'll check it out.
Good grief - 43 versions! I like the sound of "Over Under Lacing - This method reduces friction, making the lacing easier to tighten and loosen plus reducing wear and tear." Less friction looks just the job. Many thanks!
Only when the half the lace has come away and I try and 'make do' with the rest! But at one time I was supposed to be teaching fellow sea cadets how to tie knots :)
I use the surgeons version of the shoelace knot with mountain boots, simply tucking one loop one extra time and it stays knotted all day, (while the basic knot comes out in an hour) but I do prefer round fat laces.
I have seen fellow scout leaders teaching knots :(
Pity, many sea cadets (and marine cadets) I have met seemed to like the cadets. I am not sure I would have liked it ever, most surely not at cadet age.
I have done a session of that yesterday, friends needed new lines on their boat, was fun to do real rope rather than the fancy (thin) stuff I usually handle.
It already has a comment by my for what I think is the reason to close, so I think I leave it at this. But that does explain it does happen more often.
If your cadets were volunteers that may have made all the difference - and we did have some good time too even if determined not to show any appreciation for them.
