  1. Go advanced, then click manage attachments. You can then upload pics. To embed pics or video from other sites, click the postcard icon at the top of the quick reply box and cut and paste the address into the pop up box. hope that makes sense!
  2. I think this is more impressive [ame=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AnAVtbH2Aig&NR=1]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AnAVtbH2Aig&NR=1[/ame]

  4. That is the exact same knot, tied but not dressed.
  5. The helical is a cavers knot, try one of their websites for full instructions. I normally tie it with a shorter leg, have it closer the the biner, and put the slack tending pulley straight on the biner, but each to their own. Make sure the cord is strong enough to take the loading on a single leg though.
  6. Write him a nice letter, mention that his letter is dated 18000 years in the future, and that you'll deal with the issue then........

  9. I used to have a fabia sdi estate, brilliant car, 60mpg, cruise at 80 all day. Sold it to my dad, he gets 70mpg and cruises at 60 all day......
  10. Ooh er! Boot cut trousers eh, were they hipsters too? Bet they're designer ripped by now...
  11. If you're referring to the grease gun and the KY, I dont want to know any more details thanks. Did wonder what Ed was doing with those long gloves though...
  12. I hope you felled the pear tree and cooked the partridge!
  13. Ahh, thats the antidote to Jenzitis, a nasty complaint suffered by biomass producers. Symptoms include carjacks embedded in lorry windscreens, severe frustration, and sudden rage attacks. The only cure is a big yellow conehead, taken daily, until all symptoms disappear!
  14. You cant have been blocking down much with that 14" bar! Besides, you're top roped off that hedge behind you! And is that a ladder I see? You didnt really do that tree at all did you? Your subbie came down to eat your butties, and you swung over to it from your hedge hopping!
  15. Looks like a tracked chipper would have been useful in there. Did you get stuck at all?!
  16. I dont think it will become an ACOP in its present form, but if they produce a guide to good rigging practice, as mentioned, that probably will.
  17. Are you looking for employer's liability or just public liability? If you have anyone working with you, even if its just a mate for cash, you should have EL. The combined insurances will probably cost around £800. Bryant Kesek and the NFU would be my recommendation, as Trust have a minimum premium of £1200. Your other option would be to team up with a local company who have insurance, and a truck and chipper.
  18. I'v been offered work for that day, and I cant really turn anything down at the mo. Selling my house is an expensive business! So I might make it up there later on depending when I get finished, or I might not. I'll be sorry to miss it mind!
  19. Love the rigging, but what are you doing with that toy chainsaw? What you want there is a nice 044!
  20. Dont know what your doing to get so few results, but here's 379 results for knot http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/search.php?searchid=779533
  21. You're right there Andy, I always demand to be supplied with tubes of smarties (with all the blue ones taken out), and an endless supply of fresh latte. BTW, I'm sending you an invoice for two days last week, I didnt actually show up or do any work for you, but I need the money to fund my lavish hairdo, so i'm sure you'll understand and pay promtly!
  22. 240 bhp? It will almost be like a proper truck!
  23. Ouch! The joys of mog ownership.
  24. Dogs fine. He didnt get much walking on todays job, the tree death toll was pretty high!
  25. Bob, would you let him use any of those nasty loud ported chainsaws?
