  1. Looks really good, and you have all year to look forward to doing it again!
  2. Depends what kind of work you want to do. If its all small domestic stuff there probably isnt much point. Your right about the director's guarantee thing though. An accountant will almost certainly advise going ltd, as it means more work for them....
  3. pros limited liability if everything goes tits up get taken more seriously as a business pay marginally less tax you can run a paye scheme so you pay tax as you go, rather than getting a big bill at the end of the year cons a bit more paperwork
  4. Where would you put the crane Ed? Theres a lot of line action going on in that pic.
  5. We may have been ok as a kingdom, but we havent had an empire since the end of the first world war.
  6. The Empire was lost before Tony Blair was a small speck of wriggly DNA swimming for its life for the nearest egg. If you want to blame anyone try Harry Truman and the Marshall Plan.
  7. Hi Rick, welcome to Arbtalk. Have you tried any of the local companies? There are a few around the Stockport/ Manchester area. Also keep an eye on Arbjobs.com, Horticulture Week, Job Centre ect. Its a tough time to be starting out, if you find a local authority job snap it up!
  8. That explains the empire, but what about the World Cup?
  9. looks good matty!
  10. Just think though, without them cockroaches would have taken over the world!
  11. Surely no-one would be callous enough to be that?
  12. True, wonder why they dont make a Vent ST? Anyway most employers dont really know or care whether their employees should wear 397s or 12492s.
  13. Justin, if the buckle is the only difference between the vertex and the ST, could you stock the yellow buckles for groundworkers? I think peakless helmets for groundies who work with climbers are every bit as useful as peakless helmets for climbers.
  14. The Vertex ST, easily distinguished by its yellow buckle on the chinstrap.
  15. Nope, custom paint jobs
  16. Ah right, thanks. So the climbers helmet will protect me all the way down the tree, bouncing off branches left and right, then it will catch on the very last stub and strangle me within inches of the ground.......

    Hitchclimber

    A short hitch system with a slack tender is easier to adjust under load, works more smoothly, and you can remove slack with one hand. A piece of hitch cord is also much cheaper than a spliced split tail, so you dont feel bad about binning it when its worn out. Once you have relearned the body thrust technique to suit a short hitch, it is easier on your body too.
  18. Whats the difference between the aq and the tc? Or have I missed something?
  19. Your dealer should sort it out for you, the actual work is done by the manufactorer.
  20. When will you have a fitting for sordin muffs?

    Hitchclimber

    How do you find the icetail as a hitch cord? I have a footlock strop in it, but have never got around to trying it anywhere else.
  22. I means i can reach into your computer from here, collect up all your bank details, personal information, and passwords, put them in a large bag marked SWAG, and use them to pay for my next holiday. If I wanted to. See, us Lancastrians dont need roads or canals to invade Yorkshire these days!
  23. Can this thing go any faster? I'm afraid we shant make Wimbledon by noonfall!
  24. I tried a few experiments in my house, the main problem is the volume of air you need to move to make it work. A natural convection system would work, but it would need big ducts, and a definite send and return system for hot and cool air. I cut a hole in the floor above the logburner, and one on the opposite side of the room to allow cool air to re-circulate, but the size of the opening required made it a little impractical for most normal homes. The cat loved it though! Getting the warm air across the house on the same level is more tricky. Warm air collects at the top of rooms, and gets trapped by the walls over doors. You can put in vents over the tops of doors of course, but I dont think they would be sufficient. A system using a fan to push the air around the building would be the most effective I think, but it would obviously need building in.
  25. Is that one of your overworked groundies in your avatar pic?
