  1. He also wants a 'reserve' chipper.
  2. He compared the UK to the Hulk, not himself. The BBC were miss quoting this most of the day yesterday, until later in the day when they finally gave the correct quote. Having to make things up suggests a lack of genuine substance to the remoaners arguments, IMO.
  3. 30 pieces of silver................... Sorry, couldn't resist, I did try, honest.?
  4. When rules or the law become ridiculous people begin to ignore them, this then leads to zero respect for the rules/law, which then leads people ignoring the rules or laws they used to follow. Because you're already breaking the rules, as you "may as well be hung for asheep as a lamb". So something designed to increase safety could well have the opposite affect, IMO.
  5. Whats really sad is you constantly following him round, have a go at him. You don't like him, we get that, your not alone. But please.............
  6. Do you really not see that their showing such lack of confidence in themselves will sow seeds of doubt in the minds of the voters? I think their limited success last time was mostly down to their immense self belief, well thats well and truly gone now.
  7. Not a chance, IMO, IRATA has 0 domestic market. Mrs Muggins don’t get rope access lads in to paint her house. Our industries have virtually nothing in common, IMO.
  8. I watched a fair amount of the debate, IMO, he is reclining in such a manner as it allows him to see those speaking from the benches behind him. He was certainly not sleeping. Looking at the picture I'm more repulsed by the lardy gut on I think Ken Clark, than by the reclining, trim, heathy body of a man with clear self-discipline.
  9. Exactly. But why have the AA gone along with this nonsense, giving it some credibility, so any judge looking at a prosecution will think "Oh look this is seen as 'best practice' by those in the industry, so must be correct" The AA should have stood firm and fought our corner, but unfortunately, IMO, they are more interested in being recognised by the 'powers that be', than the interests of those at the coal face of the industry.
  10. Its a shame we have a self-appointed Chamberlain, when what we need is a Churchill.......................? ?
  11. Even Blair knows they have no hope, but after last time they think this is the one ? I'm looking forward to the Libdem's results most! The look on their self-entitled, wet, leaders face is going to be priceless ?
  12. Oh dear............ And this IMHO, is why the AA will never have any real relevance within the industry. (walks away shaking head)
  13. We already use two tie ins, nothing knew, just idiots with no real knowledge of our work sticking their oar in.
  14. Today I've been out on my MTB with a mate, did 25miles off road up in the dales, pub lunch and a couple of pints, great cardio, feeling good and ready for the week ahead ?
  15. I think many of us are climbers (I know I am) quitting climbing and doing business stuff would drive me potty. I often feel fed up and demotivated, but if I get out the house and up a tree I soon feel great.
  16. This I will never get? How does having a close shave make anyone feel manly? Men grow hair on their face, woman don't, surely being close shaven is borderline transvestism? I've had a beard of some sort for over 25years, I just don't get the fighting nature thing? Who has the time to waste scraping hair off their face?
  17. Fascinating!! Could you share your source for this information ?
  18. Yep, and the lack of one leads to the kind of useless government we have endured for 3 years?
  19. Fair do's Rob, each to their own mate. In all honesty I don't carry different bars for any of my saws, I have 46,66 and 088, with 20, 25 and 48, and use as needed. As my father was told as an apprentice joiner 60 years ago, "there are 99 ways of doing a job right and only one of doing it wrong" Each to their own, etc ?
