The author and mountaineer Robert Macfarlane writes on why 'getting high' became slang, and how it’s still appropriate when we look over edges.

Followed the shopping link (of course) to PV Electronics. Love the way you can get a gps driven Nixie clock kit. A perfect mix of high tech and willfully retro.

My new rain mac doesn't have a dedicated mobile phone pocket.

Slightly off-topic, but I've just come back from an axe forging weekend (it's a thing). The chap who runs it makes some great one-off knives. Google Dave Budd Handmade Tools. When my burns have...

In body cavities, perhaps just specify a watch with a small crown?

The next time I'm in the hotel du Vin for dinner, I will insist they use this method to open my wine.

The same Chris lives in all of those houses?

Aircraft can generally make some form of contact, wherever they are. Transatlantic flights use HF radio and some datalinks. The difficulty is that this is pilot initiated. Flights far out to sea are...

I would also accept a smart bomb to clear the screen. Just saying.

Very good, but you might need to revisit your pricing policy if you wish to make the millions. And can I have a shield button?

I've always treated desert boots as disposable after a season, and buy to a price accordingly.

It's a very confident design.

Jamie Oliver did one, and it made me realise that actually was an alright guy. A surprise!

+1 for the NATO. Metal can look cheap too, and the NATO has that whole form/function thing going on that as an engineer I think is aesthetically pleasing. In fact, I am inspired to buy more right...

There are some weird sites on there. I clicked through a few, and now I would imagine I'm on the NSA watchlist.

I'm giving up caring

Dropbox is ideal even for people who aren't computer savvy.

Perhaps it was wishful thinking on my part. I mean, who wouldn't want that in a watch? I may ask to be buried with my Poljot mechanical alarm, just in case.

I've just checked, and Flint was made the year I was born. God knows how I got into the cinema to watch it.

Didn't Our Man Flint have a watch that restarted his heart after he went into suspended animation, pretending to be dead? Or did I dream that...

A Game of Thrones. Everyone was loving it, but I could only see the many, many hundred pages I'd have to read before there was any sort of conclusion. Has he finished the series yet?

I've listened to them for a while. If you like radiolab, give This American Life a try. Same long form documentaries, and always good for long car journeys.

I've just been chopping logs with a large axe, so I'm golden on this one.

I just saw Elijah Wood at Heathrow airport, and totally failed to recognise him. Hobbit feet would have helped.
