the above jungle.
i have my thread display settings set different to yours so i found your post confusing.
mine displays the newest post at the top of the page so the actual jungle you posted was in fact above the deciduous woods posted by tibmo.
here's some safe jungle attire in case you ever find yourself lost...
i am annoyed at the moment because i am sort of watching a steven seagull film where he plays the quietly spoken hero in the background and eventually saves the world no doubt...
this time he's a bomb disposal hero.
the reason i am annoyed is because on this, and all films involving people defusing improvised ordnance, they somehow always know what colour wires to cut, as though there is a universal standard wiring code for making explosive devices.
what if one day, a cunning terrorist actually ran out of standard wire and stripped the mains lead off his strimmer and used that instead?
or if they used a clock without a face?
i know it would spoil the plot somewhat and deduct the tension as the time ticks away but it would probably add to the excitement because you would never really know when the bomb is going to go off until it's too late.
only the terrorist would know, unless he's told someone else.
what if he / she used wires all the same colour, or really tangled them up like when your fishing reel gets messed up?
i would imagine there is a certain pride in the quality of a bombmaker's work, as they always try to make them as neat as possible with very neatly routed wires, using all the proper connectors etc.
whenever i'm making anything, not bombs obviously seeing as i'm not a terrorist, i can never find the right spade connectors in the right colour for the diameter of the wire etc.
ffs i've missed the end of the film now.
