Is a bit pricey at £90... but there are others.

Leatherman Wave Multitool

I just looked at that and thought "oooh I need one of them" difference is I might use it. OH would just have it for the sake of having it

I am a secret multi tool fan myself. And that leatherman has come in handy so many times.

Does Mr L have any input?

Saz... I don't know where abouts you are in the south...

we have a friend who shoots in the Devon area and another up in Norfolk.

And we have shoots round here (Essex/Suffolk), not sure if they are local shoots for local people though

Here is one 'sporting' site for Anglia area

Noise cancelling ones are about £300!

Inner ear ones...cheaper.

LOL... I have had to buy my OH some right crap over the years... desk toys... missiles he could fire at people in his office! Emergency boat flares (we don't have a boat), USB sticks in all shapes and sizes.

Torches that strap onto your head (wtf??)

and enough clothing from 'Snow & Rock' to keep them in business through the credit crunch!

I will ask ol' Tom the sheep farmer... I will find out if infiltration into the born & bred villager circuit is possible, and report back

I asked him, he said a digital picture frame You'd think he'd read the thread.

How about a fridge magnet that looks like a donut that you could stick one candle in?

You can never have enough torches...

Oh, since he got made redundant he has started to move into these area's too.

He bought a dutch hoe last week... after two weeks research. He is still talking about it... and when we go anywhere that sells them he likes to touch other ones and slag them off....

he has only used it the once in the garden though!

I've heard about that in Amsterdam

Any ideas would be ace

when my son was 16 I was a mature student and some what broke. I got him funny bits and piese which included 16 Cream Eggs, one for each year of his life. he was tickled pink!!

buy him a decent mp3 player instead of that apple rubbish, you can get some great, realy sophisticated ones from china that have easily expandable memory, play videos, play proper mp3's (dont apples drm infested crap) some even play games too.

take a look at some of the chinese places like dealextreme, focalprice or kaidomain all ship free to the uk.

http://www.dealextreme.com/ but be warned there is something like 40+ pages of flashlight related stuff, however you can reduce the number by searching for "fire" or "assault crown" which is the big metal thing around the lens on the pic you gave. shipping is included so the price you see is the price you pay, all orders over $15 are supplied with a tracking number and for 1 cent extra you can add the dropshipping option which removes all company logos and info from the packing so it looks like it came from a person rather than a company (again a little more customs friendly). (again just search for it and add it to your cart)

its also worth pointing out that place is not quick so you could be waiting a month for it to arrive, however they are "customs friendly" when it comes to the values declaired and they are a trustworthy place to buy from which is good to know when buying from china, their forum has a special section for flashlights so you can ask questions in there if you are unsure about anything.

you will find a lot of recommendations for them on the candlepower forums which is the biggest flashlight community (yes such things realy do exist, it suprised me too).
