  1. To quote an American comedian on his trip to an English butchers... "Where I come from you can't even say the word 'faggot' let alone buy a box of them!"
  2. Eating a spoonful of marmite is enough to turn anyone away from it. Try toasting some nice bread, spread with butter and then a thin layer of marmite. Now your talking. As they slogan goes, you will either love it or hate it!
  3. I used to drive an RB44 kitted out as an arb vehicle. I can't say it was the most enjoyable thing to drive around the areas I work. Heavy, clunky, slow, terrible turning circle and to top it off every time I changed into 2nd or 4th I ended up punching the dash board. And I will add just cos it is a 4x4 doesn't mean it will go anywhere. The one I used would get stuck on a damp footy pitch. That was usually to do with the tyres the guy had on there though.
  4. I've had 3 pair of Airstreams and get 2 years at least out of a pair. The current pair are only used for spike work as I have a really nice pair of AKU's for pruning works. I am thinking of giving these a try next, heard good things about them... https://honeybros.com/Item/Cervino_Wood_Chainsaw_Boots
  5. I was given some to trial when it came out. Horrible stuff, can't say I really enjoyed climbing on it.
  6. Jay, You still working for Jamie?
  7. Great stuff David. It's good that your busy, long may it continue. Looking forward to trying the rings out.
  8. Probably because his boss quoted for it and he was the climber who had the job that day. Is there any other reason these days?
  9. Thanks for the 3 theories.
  10. It has been asked twice now and here is the 3rd time... Can anyone enlighten me as to the cause of the ripple?
  11. Don't envy you there John. I did a bit of a chogathon with the 880 today up an oak tree.
  12. What exactly and how would you mod the muffler on a 441 Steve? Do you have any pics of devious mods? Cheers.
  13. I am booked up contract climbing for about 6 weeks at the moment. Not a day free. Currently booking into the 2nd week in December. Before we know it, it will be 2015 and it all starts again.
  14. Nice, I enjoyed that Tim.
  15. 1stmilitary.co.uk Edit: military1st http://www.military1st.co.uk/sp-ec2-nl-01-helikon-ecwcs-trousers-generation-ii-black.html
  16. Short arse! The jackets look spot on aswell. Might try one if my cut and climb loses the plot.
  17. You like them Hodge? Did you find them a bit short in the leg or were they ok for you? I am 6'4" and they fit fine but it would have been nice to have a long leg option as they ride up a bit when climbing.
  18. A terrible incident indeed. If someone didn't do there job to cordon the area off... But then as we know, members of the public tend to ignore these things a lot of the time and just wander through. We may find out what happened after the investigation. RIP.
  19. <p>Are you the same Valentino Petrescu who competes in MMA?</p>

  20. Try getting a price for the JoBeau and palet to the isle of mull mate. I bet it will be more than the southcoast. That's life I'm afraid.
  21. Sequoia fell from today. Tree had lost its top a few years ago. Felled at that height to give a bit more room at the tip and to save it smashing a nearby oak. Rich
  22. Knocked over a Giant Sequoia today in the winds. The tree had lost its top quite a few years ago. Before anyone asks, no I haven't a bad back. I felled it that height to give a bit of extra clearance at yon end. Felling at the base would have probable wiped out a fair bit of the oak crown. [ame] [/ame]
  23. Joe. It was Mr Ed. A guy who used to post here. Not sure what the video was called though.
  24. Missed this. Oh well, i don't check the lounge much. Looks like you had a laugh.
  25. SNes Mariokart. N64 Goldeneye. Counterstrike on PC. Not played games for years though.
