Ordered some walking gear from www.outdoorkit.co.uk at 3.30 yesterday, arrived today at 9.30. Considering I'm a fair way from nowhere, that's pretty fast.
Now sitting at my desk in Merrell boots, Craghopper trousers and shirt and Mountain Hardwear jacket.
Well done OutdoorKit and Royal Mail!

@patriotpro - he hasn't underscored his spaces, he's "underlined" the word.

You sound perfectly dressed for sitting at a desk. Excellent choices.

I think I'd better get Mrs Rusty's climbing harness and hardware and belay myself to the desk. Don't want to take any chances with protection 😀

You're single, aren't you?

No, married to a climbing and caving enthusiast who dresses like a model from the Ellis Brigham catalogue. I'm normal compared to her!

Underscores are used as a formatting shortcut in some applications (MS Outlook for one I think), it'll use italics for anything inside the underscores. He's adding emphasis to the "that's".

Harks back to the early days of the internet when everything was plain text (topic titles on STW still are)

_underline_ and *bold*

@[b]patriotpro[/b] has _failed_ to understand 😉

(It's still used extensively by programmers writing notes in their code)
