It seems they were barking up the wrong tree: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-46665615?fbclid=IwAR0nPjt6Td1fLGNao992gQCZY_-R6trmT98_miMcLQYsoJjScIrjBpEXBuA

How many people have ever broken a double braid rigging rope?
Mark J replied to Treerover's topic in Rigging and roping
I've seen the green strands go in a marlow rope before. not sure if they're meant to do that or if it just happened to be those that broke. -
I enjoy a good swim, but if someone asked me what my favourite stroke was, I'd have to say "Margaret Thatcher's".

I'm also ashamed to say that I think this is canny mint.

A predominately outside and varied work life. How has yours been?
Mark J replied to Baldbloke's topic in The Lounge
Got turfed out of school at fifteen, was more interested in getting hammered then education. Did a YT course in IT for a bit, went quite severely off the rails. Couple of years later got a job as a screen printer, then did an HND in Multimedia design. Animated things for a few years until at thirtyish I split up with a partner and was sick of me life. Decided that I liked climbing trees so did an ND in Forestry/Arb and got a job with a local firm. Stayed with that firm for three or so years and then made my own way for the last decade or so. I've recently got a bit more qualified and split my time between climbing and surveying/consultancy. -
I had a similar thing. The lining of my elbow(who knew there was such a thing) got infected. I'd go to the walk in centre this morning. There may well still be a teeny little bit of the thorn in there. I was given a hefty dose of antibiotics and it cleared up. Ended up with a bit of calcified bone on me elbow afterwards which was unexpected.

Not all of them. many are are shackled by daft laws that don't allow perfectly seaworthy boats to fish beyond a certain distance off shore.

The thing with trident and any nuclear weapon, is unless you're prepared to preemptively launch the missiles and accept the consequences, you're essentially just getting your big brother to chin the person you couldn't. Notwithstanding the millions of human and animal casualties.

I love my barbour coat for surveying. It's about 20 year old now. It's one of these, or was one of these, it's canny tatty these days... https://www.countryattire.com/barbour-men-s-classic-durham-wax-jacket-olive-mwx0011sg31.html
