  1. to be honest i felt like telling him to piss off home, but it was probbaly the best thing for him to feel awfull whilst dragging brash all day, because he will remember how rubbish he felt and hopefully think twice about doing it again
  2. sounds like a plan
  3. its a shame really because ussually hes spot on,id rather hed called in sick, than come in and been useless
  4. groudie turns up with the hangover from hell, stinking of booze with a massive chip on his shoulder.then on the way homethe exhaust fell off the van.hopefully tomorrow will go a little better thats if i can find a garage to sort the van out quick sharp
  5. garden party
  6. could do with a new mug
  7. yes thats the one
  8. its only fraud if its a bouncy cheque. but if the person has cancelled the cheque take them to the small claims court, it may cost you 30 odd quid but there is no defence to a claim where a cheque has been stopped. basically you will get paid
  9. call them up and try to speak to them even better arrange a meeting,find out what the problem is and try and appease, if no luck then send them another bill with recorded delivery, this then stands you in better stead if it has to go further. this has happend to me twice and have resolved the situation by asking for a reduced amount(egnough to cover costs ie lads wages etc, then calmly saking them never to phone me again
  10. tried your redict system today steve, with much sucess, can see the benefit of using the pully to reduce friction so il be trying that tomorrow
  11. i think that the older techniques are good and reliable, after all its what the majority of us probably learnt on,ie prussic knot.But it is very inefficent
  12. steve, when you set up your rediect i presume you are roped in with your lanyard.the redirect makes sense but this is the only bit puzzleing me. ive allways redirected withethe other end of my rope but can see the positives in this
  13. cant beat a pair of sticky gloves
  14. yeah cheers bodean.its always nice to watch someone else at work
  15. lanyard with art positioner, spare biner, maybe a sling, cambian saver
  16. what a hideous day,spent the most of it holding onto the 88 whilst it chewed its way through a 4 ft macra butt, in the pissing rain
  17. we all do a job which primarilly involes alot of educated risks. so i think that although it is advisesd that you have 2 hands on the saw if you think that for whatever reason you should use it one handed you wouldnt do it unless you thought it was safe
  18. i use an art positioner and think its brilliant
  19. personally i think that using aspen fuel probably works out the same price wise as mixxing your own, by the time you take into account going to the petrol station etc
  20. yeah pete gave me a couple of vital tips, its taken me bloody ages to work it out
