I saw the quote and quiz but didn't bother dropping you an email. I'm pretty sure I know the answer without looking it up.

I always read the newsletters including this one, i even read the dodgy petrol stove review. Didn't see any quiz though, only this line near the bottom of the page-

"who said that? Prize to the first person to email with the correct answer."

But no linky?? Can only presume i've missed something!

Jase, the heading above the main body of the email was, 'Hey ho let's go*'

and at the bottom, it said, *who said that? Prize to the first person to email with the correct answer.

My email address is no secret :wink:

Fair point Greg, I'll send the next out of an evening. However, I may have to change tack as Dee's told me my musical tastes aren't 'inclusive' enough (whatever that means) :wink:

The mighty Ramones reduced to flogging white goods! A little before my time i'm afraid Stu, do remember one of my mates older brother being a punk. There was a few of them & their pride possession was a coppers helmet they'd knicked during a mass brawl somewhere.. :lol:

I can't help but feel that everyone is missing the real tragedy here, which is that Dave managed to reply before me. I think I was momentarily distracted by the demands of paid employment...

Never make your musical taste inclusive Stu - it's your musical taste. That's the whole point.

It was less than 4 minutes from receiving my newsletter to replying with the answer and Dave still managed to get in before me :sad:

I was 'working' but not too hard on a Monday, I like to build up speed gradually during the week so as not to risk a strain :lol:

Re-subscribed and it’s suddenly appeared...odd.

Re: stoves, I had a similar experience with a ‘bargain’ TI gas stove, got binned before it did a notinabox inferno.

MSR whisper light universal,they lied about the noise level but it will burn anything including gas ( inverted or upright) just change the jet :-bd
