Who put them behind that playstation? Everyone complaining about the kids but Playstations aren’t cheap. The harsh truth is that the world the ever and always complaining adults made for them simply is boring, and most parents are overly protective, seeing danger behind every blade of grass.

I was prior service US Army. This is what we used to do because eating MREs gets dull when you have them so often: 1. Get the Beef Stew MRE 2. Trade one of the other guys for their Cheese Spread pack (I used to trade the Charms candies for it) 3. Heat the Beef Stew and Cheese Spread together in the heater (FYI, we always filled that bag almost halfway with water, made heating faster and more consistent) 4. Open the Beef Stew pack along the long edge, pour in molten hot Cheese Spread, mix and enjoy (you can toss in Tabasco sauce at this point as well) 5. For dessert, take the Hot Coco mix and add the instant coffee, creamer, warm water, stir well, add some Peanut Butter (if yours came with it) and you have a type of pudding

Nov 5th my family and friends were there , portaloo gazebbo's bouncy castle generators electric and charcoal grills going - Police car came rallying around the bike track in the field and past the car's that were parked , right upto the " set-up " where we all were as the fire blazed away 100ft away . Police woman who was driving dived out and started demanding who we were , our ID , what were we doing in the field ! . I just turned my head towards the fire in hope she would realise , but no - more demands . And this went on for a minute as i actually had some hope she would comprehend what was happening as it was Nov 5th . When she started writing down the car reg numbers i had enough - I said to her " look love it's bonfire night , what do you think we are doing , honestly Nov 5th and fire works and the gazebo's what do you think we are doing in my field " = more demands for ID ? . Enough was enough = " Your trespassing with a motor vehicle and have rallyed round the field where kids are palying in the dark and it's not my law it's your's and iff you don't get that F+++G car off my field in 10 seconds i'm impounding and dissposing of it under the byelaws your putting up everywhere that says " any motor vehicles tresspassing will be seized and crushed . And your's will be seized and burnt cos it's going on the F++++G BONFIRE ON BONFIRE NIGHT - OH ISN'T THAT TONIGHT " . Police man who had been quiet all the time started walking back to the car - He knew . WPC on the other hand went into melt down with more demands = " 10 9 8 you do know what a count down is 7 6 and the car is going on the fire 5 and had you parked off the field in the laybye and walked over you'd be having a hot dog and coffee now 4 3 instead of endangering the lives of the kids with your recless driving 2 1 and you know iff i say zero it's game over for the car don't you " = She shut up instantly as it dawned and she turned and went back to the car . Was like a comedy sketch as i followed her and got to their car and looked at the PC and said " night mate " and he just nodded and you could see he was holding back the laughter ......

Always right to be on the safe side. I’ve got the Pomoly Tipi tent. I don’t have a stove, so I’m not sure what it would be like but at some stage no doubt I will get one . That certainly looks a great bit of kit with the rain fly parts. It makes the footprint rather large though, but I do suppose you can bring them in slightly.

@Simon-xc5oy Ай бұрын

Thats the difference in the USA to England. In the Uk few own guns. Its either criminals with no registration or land owners. Thats it. And the police just do or say whatever they want and interpret the law as they see fit in a situation. So they stride around on private land etc with no warrants at all. Things seem reasonable...but aren't. In the USA the police expect the land owner or house owner to have guns, its a given. Hence they are far less likely to just barge in or walk in etc as they know they could easily be shot at, if a person feels under threat. It can then get out of control fast. In the UK the police love themselves and love the job and love bossing people about and having their "powers" a lot of them are in the job for that reason. They often allow people totally unsuitable physically to do the job as well..such as that small blonde woman who would not be much use if a physical fight no matter what training given or what equality etc says...

@@Simon-xc5oy To give the police in the UK some credit, I've only ever had good interactions with them when it's firearm or air-rifle related. You occasionally get someone with what they believe to be genuine concern report something. We had someone report us taking shotguns into a Gun Club of all places. The police rocked up, no drama just asked to see the certificate and check the registrations. All good, away they went. You could tell they were not there because they wanted to be, just because they have to respond to a report. To be completely honest, my land or otherwise, I'd much rather they check and it be nothing than the opposite be true.

Great episode Mike. L o v e the tent... probably not the price. I'm an American veteran so I've had plenty of MRE's. My favorites are • Beef Stew • Mini Meatballs in Marinara sauce • Italian Sausage • Southwest Beef & Beans • BBQ Beef Strips. You got lucky with the heating bag... one out of 5 or 6 is a DUD. We also love the cheese spread packets (the bacon flavored). Beware of American MREs with Eggs. I haven't really had any other MREs except for the British (those ARE the best as far as taste, and all the extras tossed in... drink mixes, coffee, tea, cocoa, water purification tabs, lifeboat matches...) I was assigned to the HMS Amazon as liaison when she made Port of Call in the USA prior to Falklands Guardship duties in 1992. I've seen the French & Italian ones. I'll pass. The Italian MREs come with a miniature folding BCB stove (not the one you fold by hand, but an exact miniature of the regular BCB). Some have the low alcohol content aperitif. European MREs are expensive over here. Your police seemed to be decent enough. With all the "unrest" they have to be careful. Here in the States the U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing camping in public by the homeless. Many of our police treat homelessness as a crime. At least I can say that I didn't tolerate my officers to mistreat the homeless. Cheers... P.S. I went to the POMOLY website and this tent is under $200... $180 +/-. They offer a dozen different types and the $ range is from $180 to $ several hundred.

Once they did the frisk they became luke warm and started to be more negotiable and didn't treat us as actively hostile, they understood why I had a heated exchange with my neighbours but found no evidence of a knife, there was no knife. Once everything was cleared up they asked me if I wanted to charge the other person with "tampering with utilities" but I declined. They left, nobody died and my liberties are still in tact, no bail is needed. they never treated me like friends but they also never treated me like I was hostile, they came with caution... left with a story.
