    the thing is ive been gaurneteed work with 3 arb approved companies and everybody else says oh yeah we will deffinatly use you soon.....................................................................................................................still waiting!!!! i dont want to float my own boat but its not like im a ruff crap climber, i would consider myself a good all round climber. It also seems that companies are sooner paying young under experienced climber rather than experienced ones just to save 20-40 quid!!!!!!!!!!!!

    alot of companies around here only have enough work to tick them over, starting the stress me out now, i have 1 day work this week compared to a full 6 day weeks ive been having since this time last year!!!! 1 bloke who i do alot for only has hedge trimming!!! im sure itll pick up soon tho, might do me good to have a few days off!!
  5. steves got alot to say for him self hehehe
  6. when you get home neck a pint of milk, give it 10 mins then walk to the loo, all your contence will be gone!!! failing that then become a man and dont drink on school nights......
  7. ay up matt, did you hear me beep on the golden mile at you?? hahaha very true, but i think most climbers have done there time on the floor, i worked with 2 guys the other day that dont have chapter 8 but i do, and the fafing that was involved was unreal, me being the young boy they wouldnt listen to me properly!!! and resulted in the job taking a hr n a half longer!!! i call groundies when i look down and no bodys looking up or even watching, there all drinking tea and having a laugh leaning on the chipper, in my eyes they should always have atleast 1 guy watching, really rilles me that they sit there doing the above then when you get down and have a tea out your own flask that they have drank half of, and they have the cheek to make a snide comment like......no time for tea climber boy get a rake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but this only applies to a small number of people but gets my back up
  8. i work for one company that sends lads out with over weight trailors and lets them climb with out a guy with ariel resuce and the lads them selves saw nothing wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i soon voiced my opinions, of course i didnt tow and i made sure there was a man with ariel rescue, its a bit sad really cuz i basically run the gang when i sub there and it shouldnt be like that!!! god knows what happens when im not there!!! gang leaders should have at least basic legislation knowlegde
  9. lazy git!!!!! get the lads to do it, but someone you trust!!!! nowt worse than getting a blunt chain after a sharpen!!

  15. exactly, there isnt many people who are just a climber, im also a mechanic, welder and a rent boy on sundays, as well as being a free bank for the missus
  16. recyling bin, perfect size, and easy to get hold of new:001_tt1:
  17. a good groundy was normally a good climber in his earlier years but i do know of alot of good GOT's (there you go dean) who have barley used a harness in their life but if im on the floor i expect to be the goundy......... does this mean climbers will becom COT's???
