  1. Past hour
  2. Certainly a lot quicker I expect. Another thing is the fact that it's not "professionals", just normal blokes you're talking to means you're all on a similar level. Much easier for them to relate to what you're saying, and vice versa. A mate of mine at work went to his local group and said it really helped him to get out of a hole.
  3. Well done for sharing Les, that’s a huge step. I’ve never had depression as such, but feel ‘down’ now and again, usually when work/money isn’t great. I normally just click on the last scene from Blackadder Goes Forth and everything comes into perspective. We’ve really got it pretty easy compared to those poor lads over 100 years ago. As others have said, we’re all here for you in here whenever you want to talk/rant/vent. Avoid the political threads, though. They are depressing!
  4. Ha, I was going to put this up, you beat me to it, from my experience a lot better than steps to well being through the nhs
  5. “Bloke down the pub said”
  6. Now time for some tunes..
  7. I'd be interested in your opinion if you didn't make a two-ingredient foodstuff from a packet. And Joe's being nice for once. Let's all just enjoy that for five or ten minutes.
  8. Beef dirt cheap at tescos at the moment, time for beef jerky
  9. Was referring to ifor trailers ,and what the dealership said, not myself, they only stock m&e, brian james and cheval librte as horse trailers , They were the guys that said it, id not buy ifor, a , because I dont like supporting Wales, b, the build quality is shite, and c, they aren't the same as they used to be . Compared to the other english manufacturers
  10. Happy to report the Arktis B310 is still waterproof after 14 months. Even happier to report I've just sunk a big glass of sherry.
  11. Anyone who can keep booze without drinking it clearly hasn't understood the gravity of the situation.
  12. Keep busy! Eat well and don’t drink alcohol. structure and routine is boring and hard but soon becomes routine, keeps your brain busy although some crazy thoughts can still come in just let them pass on through. if you know what’s caused you to get down, get yourself to some therapy. Minimise screen time too. Think of something you used to love doing as a kid. Go walk down the road and get a truck to honk its horn, seek out some dopamine. just things that have always helped me through some tough times.
  13. It is a great post, but he’s wrong about roast pheasant, and venison.
  14. No, you were wrong.
  15. Nice thread. One of my kids is getting a 3D printer for Christmas so this is a very timely thread. What type of filament do you use for those tools? He is wanting some pla but I have no clue at all as to what works best for certain items.
  16. Sub 3t would be big enough. shear it first then just pull root out with just the pinser ends.
  17. The dealer ship were wrong ive just googled and its heritage , going how they are now built especially looking and driving with there horse trailers ,they look like portaloos, handle like shite and damage easily . As goes for sunset sunseeker I know, we have 2 factories in our county .
  18. I imagine a crossbow for north of 300 quid is not the perfect alternative for anyone priced out of a cube. We had to replace everything after our burglary last xmas, options for choice on some kit was pretty limited. I ended up with the stein cube. I don't climb every day, but if I've climbed 100 days this year the stein cube was a cost of .50p per climbing day, and it's still in decent condition. Not feeling disappointed.
  19. Crossbows are for guys doing 200’ trees regularly, which isn’t us, let’s face it. Practicing until you’re half decent throwing by hand is one of the most valuable skills in arb I reckon. Setting lines, pulling hangers, deadwooding, setting remote rigging, it’s all good stuff.
  20. Brian james plant trailers , better built , chival librte as a horse trailer Small ifor as a small single axle trailer . Hoping to buy and m&e trailer at some point .
  21. I used to disappear up my own rear end trekking around the country to quote for works - then had a light bulb moment, started asking for spec/tree removal reports and offering up estimated time and costs based on that! If we were in the range I’d then take a trip to site and fully inform fees. Saying that I still get house builders telling me they have a budget of x amount (based on what exactly 🤣) and then get asked if we can start the next day….🤣
  22. I have 365 and I have 2 of them , can’t believe it can drag 28 inch properly , even 24 is at the edge with full skip, both my saws is modded , mufflers and port cowers grindet! Best bar for them is 20 inch or 18 in my opinion.

  24. We get the picture Kram, you're tight and think you can reinvent every wheel. I can relate, going through 9 of the falteimer knock offs in a few years before buying genuine which has lasted me to this day and many more to come. By all means feel free to disregard my experience and crack on as usual though 👍 Ah, you went full retard... don't do that.
  25. 10/10 post for multiple reasons
  26. Today
  27. Kram, probably more lounge wear.
