hey dork boy,u think anyone will remember u in 1,000 years?..if he did exist or not.u cant prove or disprove it..there where people like him that did exist foresure.wheather it was him or not,may never be proven
dirty hands clean mind ,thats what my mum told me .pity it didnt apply to the bankers. still fred lives in my heart atrue grafter and inteligent man rip fred
As much as I love Dibnah, attributed to the fact that I own EVERY DVD he's been in, his experience far outweighed his knowledge! Just imagine how boring this clip would have been had he known simple trigonometry! Just goes to show that knowledge is not always a pursuit of hapiness!
The problem with the first shot is that you made the rope go throught the sting and the bow. When you moved the bow, you interfered on the rope and it got stucked on the string.
Once you put the rope over it and got the bow out of the way after you shot it went "smoothly".
Are you an archer? what are we trying to prove with this? I'm an archer, those arrows can go very far away. theres a lot os speed on them. My arrow travel at least 280fps.45 Deg angle you can make them go very far away
Ye- but the point of the plan was to use the arrow to get the string over a large tree branch to measure the height of the hill, not make the arrow travel a long way
if only i had had a teacher at school like fred , don,t you think he would have been amazing to learn from, so much knowledge and experience great to watch
man was a legend, been watching his programmes since i was a kid, very down to earth and easy explanations in to how things work, a true working class hero,

LOL there is no evidence whatsoever that "Robin Hood" ever actually existed. The story is mere legend and folklore.
"Robin Hood" is a generic archetypal name used in the middle ages to refer to any unspecified itinerant criminal or fugitive.
