Sealtainn Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 I did see a thread on there about Browns Folly, in Bathford in Somerset where they had been down the mines repeatedly and a local chap named Brian has taken offence to them. They would go down the mines and camp there overnight and apparently this chap has used rocks to cover the entrance while they were down there. I'm all for exploring old abandoned buildings and such - visiting Pripyat is on my bucket list but getting sealed into a cave, no thanks !!

sierraman Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 A friend of mine (excuse the pun) does this mine exploring stuff. They don't go down coal mines due to the methane risk and that most coal was extracted by shaft. They seem to go into stuff that is mothballed as opposed to given up on years ago, cutting holes in gates and jacking up barriers. Apparently a lot of the stuff down there is old machinery old portakabins that have been isolated pending further use or isn't worth retrieving economically.

ruffgeezer Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I'm sure one of the 28dl lot used to be on here but disappeared after he was outed as one of the light fingered crew. Banger Kenny, Angrydicky and trigger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmycrackcorn Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I love seeing photo's like that but if it results in theft it's truly a shame. I'd like to see if there's any around Newcastle but I'm too fat and slow to escape/get over fences. Banger Kenny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRW Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Did MG-Rover pay Honda royalties for the HH-R til the end? I know that MG-Rover did attempt to get the royalties to Honda for the HH-R underpinnings and pressings reduced circa 2003. Not sure how it went as I seem to recall Kevin Howe press releasing it and he wasn't exactly known for his tact and finesse dealing with such things. Towards the end of The Firm Honda refused to supply certain components as they were deleted by Honda, the dashboard being the main one leading MG-Rover having to design their own unit. The royalty payments for the saloon variant was less than the hatch as Rover did the back end design and development. Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmycrackcorn Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I can understand the whole "if I don't save it it'll scrapped etc" but there are ways of going about things and using it to fill your eBay shop isn't one of them.

omegod Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Some seriously brave souls on that site, if you look in the noteable threads section there are some crackers. True there will be some cnuts who steal but I think the benefits of sharing their finds they share outweigh the minority of gobshites. They are pretty strict with location details and access points not being discussed but with the wonderweb it's not impossible to locate some sites.

Dick Longbridge Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The Mini is now at Gaydon, probably the best home for it. IIRC the previous owner had some rather fanciful and far-fatched ideas of getting it roadworthy but got no further than straightening the roof.Never knew that. Sounds the best place for it to be on show. Every day's a school day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I might get some of that cheap trailer rope from Poundland, put on some slip on sandals, turn the phone off, take the flashlight I've had in the shed for about 10 years with me down to a nearby mine shaft. Remembering not to tell no bugger where I'm going, I'll tie the rope round a close sapling and use this as some sort of support to hold me back as I clamber down a 150ft drop taking some photographs on my Practika camera I've had years. laser wheels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've updated my profile photo as well, which shows my 2016 look. Back to the 28 days later thing, I got the impression that the majority of the members are, as with all walks of life, sound. Unfortunately it's the minority utter twat content that completely ruin it for everyone else. There's a derelict infant school close to me which I have recent internal photos of (totally legit), but I don't dare post them online as I'd imagine the minority may well latch onto it, head straight inside and trash the joint further.

Lacquer Peel Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Why? Some of the people behind the site have been charged for theft and been in court.I left the site after it became obvious the mods were snooping on private messages, it's just a really poisonous website, with some great photos of course. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You can hardly call someone a bullshitter because you have been out with a few of them, you would have to have been with every single member on every single sortie to be confident enough to stick up for them.

This is what he posted, garbaldy:- Publicly they are against theft and vandalism, behind the scenes they are very light-fingered and don't think twice about breaking into buildings. And it's bullshit. They (and that includes me) are not very light-fingered. LP is posting his usual misleading bullshit to claim that the whole forum are thieves. People have used photo's on there to identify places and then go and steal stuff, that's very different. LP has a habit of posting misleading statements to support his views. There may well be one or two bad apples amongst that forums membership (as there probably are here) but I'll repeat, I've never seen it happen and it's bullshit to post this:- behind the scenes they are very light-fingered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 The 28DL Admin team have a reputation for light fingeredness in the UE community. I believe there is plenty of evidence online to support this, some of which might already have been posted on the thread. https://encyclopediadramatica.se/28DaysLater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 It's not misleading if it's true. I didn't say every 28DL member is a thief. The facts on the court case and eBay listings by moderators are out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't object to taking the odd keepsake, but ransacking places makes you no better than a pikey. The implication in your posts is that the 28DL forum membership are all thieves & pikeys, breaking in & loading up the swagbag, and that is misleading bullshit. I haven't denied that the forum has it's bad apples, but your statement encompas's the entire membership & it's simply not accurate. Maybe I'll accuse you & some of your mates of being thieves and see how you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
