Re: Bulk buy coffee

Crikey. I'm going to make a different suggestion. Get yourself an aeropress or a bialetti stove-top moka pot, and a grinder, and start enjoying proper freshly-ground freshly-made coffee for the same price. Sainsburys own-brand fairtrade expresso roast beans come between £1.50 and £1.80 per 100g, or...

Re: Bulk buy coffee

I usually get Nescafe Gold Blend from Poundstretchers, I don't know if there's one near you, but you can sometimes get it at £4 for a 200g jar. Or at least you could last time I bought any a couple of months ago cos we are steadily eating our way through our stocks at the moment so we don't have to ...

Re: Preps for Christmas

I only ever ask family for prepping related gifts, secrecy isn't an issue there cos SWMBO would give them everything we have any way and then wonder why we were living on toenail clippings and grass. as to christmas specific preps the most important one I can think of is to hide her credit card. :lol:

Re: What preps are you doing this week? Part 3.

Does the belly count as prepping though? by my reckoning you'll take longer to starve. I know I could out last lots of people :lol:

Thats my plan for if things go really really wrong. Find a really good hiding place and out wait all the fitness freaks that weigh 5 stone wet through. :tinfoil

Re: What I'm covering in my prep

At risk of hijacking this thread I gotta tell you all I had sort of a break through on the camping side of things. Took the wife glamping and she quite enjoyed it although she's determined thats as far as she'll go. What do you mean there's no TV? But I can still take my hairdryer can't I? Well yes ...

Re: Extracting last few teeth ideas help.

I'm guessing your first choice is to avoid a rumble with someone bigger (little point in swapping one pain for another), so I'm guessing you want a relative painless method. I found this online Teeth clenching or grinding is a major culprit: Whether due to anxiety or other causes, many people develo...

Re: Berries

I found this while I was mooching around google I don't know if it's right or not but it could be interesting to find out. Oh it doesn't say on the link but it's a map of trees/bushes with edible fruit growing wild in the uk. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zp1-918UFCtE.kDhW10G4-mDQ&msa=0

Re: Suggest an EDC Pen

I'm sure I heard somewhere that they like us to use black ink because it stands out better when photocopying. I don't know how right it is though, perhaps it was so a few years ago but I doubt it's as important now, what with 50 million colour printers, gazillion mega pixel this and so on
