  1. And you say a company is unprofesional for not being able to reverse a chipper. I think your selective adherance to legislation and rules, combined with such statments makes a mockery of such posting
  2. Power rangers rule!!!!!
  3. I was waiting for you to chime in. Bet you clicked on it asap AND have your tub of lube sat there waiting
  4. I stand corrected - happily p.s. I hope that the 700kg GTW is a typo:scared1:
  5. Agreed. Our link with the American banking system has not paid dividends of late. Time to try and compact and restructure our economy.
  6. He's far too discreet for such demeaning acts:sneaky2:
  7. the jolly ginger giant has said enough me thinks..........
  8. They are difficult, but by no means impossible Dean. The idea that you are not professional by kitting yourself out with a chipper of legal tow weight for a 3.5ton vehicle it absurd (legal as in it does not reduce the carrying capacity of the vehicle). Surley disregarding legislation, so you can reverse smoothly up a driveway is less professional?
  9. well i have to say Dean, i agree for once
  10. Don't you love it when it sneaks up on you! It's like an old friend that you hoped had lost your address then turns up out of the blue!
  11. What DIDN'T you buy then Bob
  12. They have many uses in different configurations. I'd personally learn a little more about systems before "finding a use" for a piece of kit. Sorry if i sound dismissive, it's not intended, but using new kit requires extra care. I agree with the sentiment "low and slow" for any change in working practice
  13. Mydad worked for BT at the time. I remeber him being away from home for over 3 months repairing the damaged infrastructure. We were not effected this far north thankfully
  14. The worst news Dean. My thoughts go out to his family and friends
  15. just shorten every thing to text speak- oh sorry your an old man and hate that
  16. Scary indeed. I don't see the point of taking such a large pick in that situation as the crown still nneds to be broken down on the floor. Good on him for posting so candily and honestly
  17. The wire gives him exra traction
  18. Rule of 3 has alot to be said for it
  19. Nice Tim. Derail, slander and intollerance. From Jason having the balls to post his own mistakes, with the view to warn others. To your derision of other members for doing little more than refusing to agree with you. It takes a talented TROLL to engineer such a turn in a thread. So go on, be a good TROLL and disapear back under the stone from whence you came
  20. Prefers pink as the blue clashes with his bra n nickers!
  21. Read the statement carefully Tim before replying. There is best practice in place, there has also been a thorough study in the use of climbing saws HSE funded), which concluded that one handed operation is not acceptable. So therefore further legislation is uneccesary. I was trying to get someone to sugest that a change in perspective and educational practices might be a possible solution, but however your selective reading - which is nothing new to your posting, has dragged this thread into negative discourse, as opposed to positivley contributing to a debate that you hold strong views on.
  22. If that is you chosen method of educating climbers i'm not suprised you get such a response. I'd probably give you the identical reply(worse to be honest) if you spoke to me in that manner. This is not an issue of further legislation, as it is already deemed unacceptable, and deffo not "good practice". So why would you ask the HSE and arbritary self appointed and non regulated bodies to remedy your issues?
  23. You find my car jack yet Ed?
