Medieval Sherwood forest or Mordern day Afganistan?

[KingOpabinia]

Where does Robin Hood get his endless supply of arrows as he is a fugitive on the run. Surely he can't just walk up to the local Quill maker, and smelter. No the Sheriff is a lot smater than that.
So it got me a wondering. Is there an international arms dealer funding this 1st type of guerilla warfare? Maybe the arrows were imported from the Arabic states as these were alot more adept in the art of war during this period. Almost equivalent to a role reversal of the superpowers today and recent history, fighting in dogged, skirmish like conflicts like the Vietnam and Afganistan wars which could never be won.
Robin Hood is a man of the people who still lives in our minds today as a kind of medieval matyr.
This matrydom being at the epicenter of the conflicts in the middle east is there ever going to be peace whilst there is a western presence there? But all said, we all sit there on a saturday evening all cheering at Robin Hood and his merry men, not the Sheriff? Is this not a lesson to be learnt?

You're insatiable woman... what is it? Fresh meat for the grinder and all that? Or just fresh meat! ;0P

Kingy.. really sorry, this is what's know as thread hijacking. It's something of a specialty of Pinkies and is both rude and against policy.

Pinky... I've told you before about chatter... it's not allowed! ;0)

[PinkFizz]

How very dare you - I do not thread hijack,well,just the once,ok twice,erm - smashing weather for the time of year!

Well I think he sounds very manly and intelligent and I could never resist a good brain. ; )

Pish.... you're just flirting with the newbies! You'd never catch me doing that.... I think the people that flirt on here are really abusing the site and it's a disgrace.

By the way hun... have you seen Nick or Cas about? ;0)

[PinkFizz]

We're a bit like the naughty St Trinian girls!

[China Doll]

Yup Whiskey... Pinky's throwing herself at newbies again. I've told her that chatting is disgraceful as if flirting and mucky behaviour on this site in general but y'know what she's like.... I'd never do anything like that.

So this thing between the froggy one et al.... how longs that been going on for?

(Sorry, thought it might to be safer to gossip in here. And sorry Kingy once again.)

[China Doll]

Oi... I'm never naughty.

ooooo my god

Firstly why would he need a quill maker? surely he would need a fletcher? As they made arrows not quills (pens!!)

secondly alot of outlaws over the years had to be independant

even up to 1880s when cowboys made their own bullets, you dont need a forge as the metals they use are very low melting points, which also would be the same for medieval arrows
