Right idea cincol but not correct. Try taking it very literally.
more literally ?
smelling salts ?
edit: inserted quote
Thats it 7Gryph7
Smelling salts or more correctly ammonia was extracted from a distillate of deer (in older English a hart or stag) and cattle horns and hooves. Today is it obtained via other chemical processes.
Carbon Hunter: "The solution made from antelope horn for medicinal purpoes (similar to rhino hiorn)? " Maybe smelling salts would work for you instead of rhino horn, who am I to judge

Can't seem to edit so:
The last sentence should read "If it is the same lot them maybe you can retrieve some of your unmentionables!"

Board games then?

Sorry to hear about the break-in, seems they caught some guys targeting cars on Boyes Drive. If it is the same lot them maybe you can retrieve some of your unmentionables back!

Does it matter which version? There are more than one of most of those.

I seek the collectives wisdom please.
I went off to a newly published cache this morning, was the 4th or 5th to sign the log. As is routine I logged the visit on the geocaching site via c:geo on my phone and moved on. I note now that one of the subsequent visitors is chiding me for not delaying my on line posting until after the FTF cacher had posted theirs. Being relatively new to this could one of the grey beards enlighten to the the etiquette of the situation please.
The following should be noted:
The First to find and sign the log has, as of 15 hours later still not logged their find and c:geo does not automatically update the caches on line logs, you simply log directly from the app.
I find this an interesting situation, not only for the above but also for the practise mentioned by another cacher of delaying logging your FTFs to "make it more exciting" for subsequent cachers who have their hopes raised only to then have them dashed on reading the cache log. My feeling is that I would far rather know the actual status of the cache rather than rush off only to find someone has beaten me to it and not told anyone about it.

+1 to what Webscouter says
I have had to abandon searches because the description is in navy blue and I cannot read it in c:geo

Which well known town in the Western Cape has had its name enter the English lexicon as a rather unflattering verb?
Some people use the verb "mafik" as in to celebrate. This was because of the celebration of the lifting of the siege of Mafikeng, which is not in the WC and is not all that unflattering. Its just interesting
I don't know if any of you listen to the quiz questions on Cape Talk in the afternoon but this afternoon someone called Ben combined this question and answer and the answer that @Tara and John gave to ask John Maytham which two ZA towns names have become verbs in the English language. Well, Ben stumped him and John went off and confirmed that both answers are correct!
Well done Ben! (if he read it here)

Depends what you are doing with it, I look forward to finding out!
With all your beach themed caches will this include something to do with "Hey, you kicked sand in my eye!"

The band New Order, part owned the famous Hacienda Club in Manchester. Their first incarnation was the "post-punk" sound, Joy Division (Love will tear us apart)with lead singer Ian Curtis committing suicide just before an American tour. The band metamorphosed into New Order who have a completely different electronic based sound.
They are most famous for the best ever selling 12 inch single in the UK called "Blue Monday" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Monday_%28New_Order_song%29).
One of the members is named Bernard Sumner, a shared surname with Gordon Sumner/Sting the famous solo singer and front man for The Police.
Please, please answer this one:
Which families name is most associated with the Cederburg area. One of the passes there is named after them.
-
One of the band members shares a name with well known tantric practitioner and lead singer of the Police. The band also was responsible for official song of the England football team for the 1990 World Cup

I'll be very sad if if I have to wait for Monday
(just for you cincol) -
Lets change the level and category then shall we?
Which band which went through, not only tragedy but a radical change in musical direction part owned, what Newsweek, in the 90's, called the most famous club in the world?
The Hacienda, situated in Manchester, survived from 1982 to 1997 and is intimately linked with the explosions of both the acid house and rave music scenes.
True North vs. Magnetic North
in South Africa

My question would be, as I assume that not many of us would carry a separate magnetic compass with us, which north do the GPRs and smartphones use? Do they have a separate magnetic compass chip or do they work out the direction from the GPS?
Which ever they use would probably be the default for caching purposes
