Cheers for the link there tanstaafl, I'd actually dug out my ancient Nokia to stick some credit on it and take it on a hiking trip, and since that link is a free phone when you buy a tenner's worth of credit and gives you a fiver cash back from quidco it's a no brainer really. I always take two phon...

I used my SAK to home-brew an adaptor to charge my laptop and phone. Didn't know South Africa has some weird round 3-pin plug so my usual travel adaptor was useless. I undid a bedside light, stripped the wires and wrapped them around the pins of my charger plug - job done. Oh and used it to trim th...

Think it's a hangover from when they weren't particularly accepted, there have been efforts in the past to run the LDS out of town, pretty sure within living memory (although I could be wrong there), not going to go into details on the history or what I think the reasons for that are/were or may hav...

There's actually a company selling them on Amazon stuffed into empty shotgun cartridges, they do a fire kit and a survival kit, I can see the the usefulness of the fire kit ones, they contain a few waterproof matches, some waxed jute tinder and a small ferrocerium rod, and may be quite handy one day...

First thing, change your energy supplier, you're being ripped off, if you google "Martin's energy club" it'll give you a link to a section of money saving expert, you can put in the stuff from your bill and it'll find you the cheapest deal, most of them give some cash back for switching an...
