Howdy doody,

I'm going to the outdoors show on Sunday and just wondered if any of you chaps were heading to B'ham to do the same? We could meet up to take the piss out of Bear Grylls together!

Here's the skinny: http://outdoorsshow.msgfocus.com/q/1oNYJyKJMYwgR/wv

I'm taking my boy to Thorpe Park

, so sadly count me out, as that's usually right up my street.

Have a blast and take loads of piccies for us

This one didn't seem to raise much interest with you chaps but I thought I'd write e review of the couple of really good things I saw at the show today... I'm too bleedin knackered to do it now though!

I'll get a few photos together and do it soon

I think we were all just jealous we weren't going.

Yah same here. Hurry up and get un-knackered and tell us about it.

LOL

I'm even more knackered today as I just filled and planted a raised bed amongst other chores at the allotment. It was a lovely day for it and we managed to burn our rubbish too before summer restrictions start.

I PROMISE I will write it up soonish

I did have a couple of stunning Roger Harrington knives in my hands... that made the day totally worth it! For those that aren't familiar with his wonderful work, take a sneaky look here http://www.bisonbushcraft.com/

His stuff really is spot on

Any chance you could bring them to the meet

Unfortunately they went straight back in the locked cabinet after I fondled them! Well out of my price range too - absolutely amazing work.

I'm sorry... I promise not to do it again

Consider yourself told then

So whatelse was on offer then? I'm glad there was some sharp and shiney, and the knife retailers haven't completely rolled over and died yet

nuphoria · **Reply #12 on:** March 31, 2009, 10:34:12 PM

Not a feck of a lot sharp wise sadly... overall the show was OKish but smaller than previous years so not as good.

Still haven't downloaded my photos so I will stop writing little bits for now!

Hmmpph $:-\$

Another boring sleepless night, and accusations to boot! I can't take Takeshi's castle anymore - must sleep!

Well good luck

, I just spent the last several hours attempting just that

It's tedious... I've spent much of the night checking ebay for the listings they haven't quite removed yet. I bought a leatherman this week which they then told me was cancelled. Trouble is, I already paid and the seller has posted it so they can go procreate themselves frankly

Nice one though
