    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    As some of you gents are discussing post-war French airborne, just to get it "out there" I would be extremely interested in a TAP 150 if anyone has a notion of where one could be found.

    A pair of (potentially) shiny stoves.

    Got these a couple of weeks back at a car boot sale, one is a Primus No.1 & the other a Primus No.5S. Both decoked, fitted with all new washers, new jets and new non return valves. The No.1 works flawlessly, the No.5 still isn't combusting quite right, but they're picky devils without a...

    IRISH forum members

    Err yeah... You would. Not my finest hour. Forgot my login and lost access to the address I'd registered with, became a student again... Actually worked a bit. Bit late coming to this but always up for a pint or seven, almost anywhere.

    Going to an Irish Bar

    Good heavens.... Haven't been in in years (literally) then I find a thread about Irish drinking. Most excellent. Smith-icks it is. Black & Tan - Order one if you want, anywhere on the island. You'll raise eyebrows, but only because it's not at all popular. The Auxiliary Constabulary...

    Ham radio

    Nope, but am an SWL of many years standing. Mostly mil/util with a wee sideline in digital modes since it got really easy. I'd like to do my exam some day, the thing holding me back most at the moment is being too busy to justify getting into something else that will be costly in terms of...

    Give your patriotism a boost here: Share what makes you feel patriotic

    With reference to our local issues, I've been trying to track this quote down since I saw Paddy's post... "And let the orange lily be Your badge, my patriot brother It's the everlasting green for me And we for one another "

    UK's only full-size World War II German U-boat

    I was fortunate enough to get a look at the Jerry boat a couple of years ago while waiting for the boat back to NI. The museum had closed, but a caretaker saw me trying to get photos from the road and let me in for a quick personal tour round her an the other vessels in the collection. There...

    Give your patriotism a boost here: Share what makes you feel patriotic

    Very well put Paddy. I have a French friend who seems perplexed by the fact that my home is bedecked with the emblems of various regiments of the British Army and yet I can be found on the terraces upon occasion belting out '"Ireland's Call" with a tear in my eye (and usually a pint in my...

    They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases

    I tend to use a lot of vintage military skewed with modern nerdspeak and TLAs. I'm told it's disconcerting when you first meet me.

    Just a little heads up....

    If this is considered too naughty feel free to delete. I know we really shouldn't discuss dodgy P2P sites/packages but I wanted to warn anyone who might be tempted to visit them purely for research purposes. Someone, or some group of people with a reasonably good knowledge of the swing...

    Foods I can't find in my present location and regional specialties.

    I used to miss Soda Bread when I ventured out of NI, although I've noticed you can sometimes get it in England, further afield and you're out of luck. This led to me learning to make my own, which has in turn led to me never buying it at all.... Even when it's easily available. Home made is...

    Share your own art here :)

    The EX DG? Nice bit of glass, but the QC on them was terrible I had two which didn't pull focus at all before I got a good example. Mine's stuck on a Nikon though.
