I certainly didn't pay 20 quid for it though, more like a fiver

Thats what i hear alot people buying the Swedish Army Firesteel, Maybe you would get the piss taking out of you pulling out a fancy firesteel, just like you would getting your name put on your football boots and pulling them out in the changeing room.  ;D

I got banned, they where very rude on that form all they did was take the piss out of me, cause of my idea about going round the coast.
so i told them to give me a break and a bit of respect, they did not like that and all ganged up on me so i told them to take there head out of each others asses. So i got banned, but im glad as i found here where people would listen to my idea and not take the piss out of me. Cheers people
