    Do you call this:

    the counter point? Because I call it an insult.

    So who really is the closed minded one? If anyone does a search on all your previous posts you'll find that most of them are flaming or insulting to other members.

    Well if that's the life you choose to live then you're welcome to it, but in years to come you'll just end up a ball of resentment and anger, not exactly what I'd call a healthy mind.

    It's only an insult if you consider yourself a freeloading fucking hippy.

    If I'm an angry young man then you must be an absolutely furious small child :)

    You just can't stop lashing out, can you. Oh well Paulsy, we're getting off track here. Take a deep breath and start over. K?

    How to Build a Bender


    You'll need:
    • about 20 nice bendy hazel branches, at least 6' long
      (trim them down so you have poles, but leave some little bits of branch on cos you can use them as hooks to hang things up inside your bender)
    • strong string or thin, pliable rope (& something to cut it with!)
    • tarpaulin and groundsheet / something waterproof to put under your bed
    • metal / wooden stake and mallet or hammer (metal is easier to get into hard ground)
      (you can make a wooden stake by sharpening the end of a thick piece of hazel)
    • lots of nice things to put inside (plenty of bedding if it's winter)

    Stick Chick shows you how! [​IMG] Find a flat area of ground about 10ft square where you want to build your bender. Make a hole (about a foot deep and as wide as one of your bender poles) with the stake and hammer in one corner of the area. Push the thickest end of one of your bender poles firmly into the hole. [​IMG] Repeat this about 6ft away (further if you have nice long poles and want a spacious bender), so you now have two bender poles waving in the air opposite each other. [​IMG] Now bend the two lengths of hazel over and wind them around each other in the middle so that they form an arch. (I like to make my bender tall enough to stand up in, but this depends on personal preference and length of poles available). Wind string / thin rope around the interwoven poles so they are held together firmly. You should now have an archway (don't worry too much if it falls over, but it's best if it doesn't!) [​IMG] Repeat steps 1-3 to make a circular shape by bending at least 2 more arches across the first (think of the bender poles as the metal bits in an open umbrella).
    • Now you need to strengthen the structure by weaving and tying more bender poles horizontally / diagonally around the circle of arches. But remember to leave a gap big enough to use as a door!
    • Once you are satisfied that your bender is as sturdy as you can make it, cover it with a big tarp (or a few smaller ones if that's all you have) and weigh it down with stones / branches around the edges.
    • Put down a groundsheet or something waterproof to put your bedding on (bubble-wrap is good for extra comfort and warmth). If the groundsheet reaches the edges of your bender, bend the sides up inside the tarp 'roof' so that water doesn't run down on top of your waterproof floor!
    • Now you can add all your homely comforts, snuggle up inside, and wait to be evicted!! :p
    • Make sure you take some of the fascists with you on your way out!

    I think the 'dumbass' is the guy here who's throwing around insults like a spoilt little kid just because people don't agree with him.

    The point (as you'd know if you lived in the UK) is that people never get arrested for squatting because it's legal. There is no UK law against squatting. Period. Sorry if that doesn't suit your prejudiced right-wing agenda, but them's the facts. Of course if it was illegal, I'd still support it :)

    I guess you should have said that the first time I asked the question! We wouldn't be in this little debate if you didn't skate around the question. In summary, "squatting" would be the improper term to use.

    I've already explained that to you. Not my fault if you're too busy frothing at the mouth to pay attention! And in this country, squatting is the correct use of the term. We're not interested in American legal definitions, thanks.

    Then quit taking issue with me, genius.


    PS Squatting is not the correct term.

    Awww, thanks for recognising my mental superiority. That's very sweet of you :)

    But in case you hadn't noticed, it was you who were taking issue with us.
