  1. Grow up mate. Oh, just checked. It seems you have gone from hero to zero in the time it has taken me to drive home. Well done, another tick in your so awesome list of achievements. C U Next Tuesday.
  2. So why are you ranting simultaneously over 3 different thread?
  3. So are you saying that if they have no lunch they cannot work?
  4. Sounds like you had had a bad day.
  5. I think they are not referring to your CS units when they ask for qualifications. They are probably looking for academic quals. Could you get your mate, the consultant, to make a recommendation and submit that...?
  6. Gerbutt, where did you get the 60m Kern from? do you have a link pls?
  7. Agreed bro x2 with a cherry on top!
  8. As I said, I really don't care that much. I still use it. Just reporting what the kit inspector told me at the time. As for the finer points of LOLER I'll leave that one for the rules and reg's police to argue out amongst themselves.
  9. Not posted for a while now... fought I would stick this fight up for anyone interested. Hope you enjoy it. The guy is a monster.

  10. I was told by one of the kit inspectors last year at the AA show that it wasn't fit for purpose. I was informed that the cinch was originally a belay device for recreational rock climbing. Although it works in a lanyard configuration it isn't fit for purpose and should not be covered under LOLER for commercial operations. Don't know if he was being a jobs worth but I used it for the comp and still do.

  12. Worked on one a couple of years ago in Hackney. It was inside an old Huguenots building. I was told that the silk weavers planted the Mulberry tree as the silk worms loved them. It was a great tree made up of around 8 individual stems that had filled a courtyard. One had fails and I had to remove the broken stem and reduce the end weight on the remaining stems. And yes it was in full fruit and very messy. http://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/04/14/the-huguenots-of-spitalfields/
  13. File guides are over rated IMO. Have a look at a sharp cutter on another chain the same size or even another chainsaw. Learn how the cutter should look and the relationship to the file angles. The look at the distance between the depth gauge and top of the cutter. Try and match the gaps on the chain you are sharpening. I hope you can understand the above... it makes sense in my head.
  14. And if it is the firm I think it is the staff are predominantly made up of Ozzies and Kiwis.
  15. I think you should calm down a bit mate... You might rupture something. Yeah it is a tree being felled, badly at that but it happens. As long as it is not you or your company doing it then what's the problem..?
  16. I worked for a guy who had business banking with Santander. Took over 5 days for money to appear in my account after he had transferred it. I thought it was a bit of a p take myself as on some occasion it caused me to go overdrawn etc when mortgages went out. Same for his paye guys. Would take an age for the funds to clear. I reckon they were playing the market for a lot longer than the rest of the banks with our money. They also screwed me on a mortgage offer a few years ago. For that reason I wouldn't use them.
  17. I have been looking at the contour head cams. Most of the snowboard pros seem to use them along with go pro. Anyone on here use one?
  18. Here is one I watched last night. Hardly extreme but it did make me laugh. Les Gets is in the French Alps and was part of the downhill mountain bike world cup circuit. Vido Cow Gap at @LesGets, France
  19. cheers mate.
  20. Adam, can you talk me through that one... I take it you still have to thread the length of the tail through the green ring? I get the 6 wrap prussic to cinch to the stem is the not with crab just there as a stopper?
  21. It was last year but I do like this one. Pictures gives one side of the story but my verbals might not have been so calm.
  22. Really, got a link? The hell loggers had a dude called Gord, but no connection I think.
  23. I use the Thai liniment when I am Thai Boxing. The smell reminds me of hard work.
  24. forgot to mention, I was only the hands operating under the telephonic instruction of a god like being. :blushing:
  25. You would be proud of me mate... been deadwooding a number of Oaks since I got back. RW'd the lot apart from 2. Just takes a bit of time on the job to master.
