  1. Liros. Red stuff. For it from Nod, I think.
  2. Try it mate. It takes up more than you think. Once bedded in you probably use 8-9 inches. The 10 inch measurement sit right for me with decent length tails on the termination knots.
  3. Not laughing at all mate. More amazed. My VT is pretty compact. 3 wrap 2 braids on 8 mm armour pruss. What with the approximate 10 inches per fishermans knot for each termination. That's 20 inches added to the already 24ish inches for the knot to be tied, dressed and set. So 44 inches is over a metre. I generally buy 4 metres and get three friction cords outta it.
  4. There We Are Then!
  5. WOW 3 VT's from 3 metres of cord. What combo you using? 1 wrap 1 braid?
  6. No problem mate.
  7. Not tried to blue tongue but I am on my third hank of Tachyon. The new England version not the truffle burger. I have also climbed a fair bit on Poison Hivee. Far bouncier than Tachyon IME and opinion. I didn't even bother to resplice the PHivee when I knicked it with a silky. It now sits in the shed ready to be called back into action to tie something down.
  8. Where is the tree? Uk?
  9. I think this thread has been taken over by the West London branch of the Communist party. It has been cleansed, but you missed a bit. I bet you cannot find it!
  10. What sort of MPG are you gentle lemons getting from the Isuzu's? Cheers, Rich.
  11. Found a toilet seat completely embedded in a sycamore at the back of a psychiatric institute.
  12. Nice work Ian. They look mint!
  13. A guy walks into a restaurant and wants to eat squid. He calls the waiter over, whose name is Yervaise, and says 'I want that squid there', pointing at a little green squid with a hairy moustache on its top lip. Yervaise says, 'but that's my favourite, I don't want to kill it, it's so mild and friendly'. But the customer is insistent, so Yervaise goes over to the tank, pulls out the squid and lays it on the worktop. He raises a knife and is about to chop it up, but he can't. Yervaise goes back to the customer, and says he can't kill it, but the customer still insists that he wants to eat it. Yervaise has an idea, and says 'OK, I'll go and get Hans, our dishwasher, he's a tough guy, he'll be able to kill it'. He goes and gets Hans, and Hans takes the knife and is about to chop the squid up, when it looks up. Hans sees its mild little face and its hairy lip and he can't kill it either, so they both go and tell the customer that they're really sorry and he can't eat it. The moral of the story?... .. Hans that does dishes is as soft as Yervaise with mild green hairy lip squid.
  14. Like it!!!
  15. Wouldn't want to take a punch of your missus! Is she an Eastern European shot putter by any chance?
  16. I was doing a job with Ross Smith. Reducing 40 Lime trees in Sandwich, Kent. A beautiful spot by the water frequented by lost of pedestrians and dog walkers. So many dog eggs were left unattended that we put a shovel of chipping over each one. Ross's brother clocked a guy letting his dog lay an egg under a tree we were to do that afternoon so he tackled him about it. The guy claimed the dog squatted all the time but nothing never comes out so he didn't bother checking. Ross's brother did check though. The next thing we see is Ross's brother legging it after the bloke with his dog turd on a shovel shouting to matey that he had forgotten something. Hi speed express turd delivery or something similar.
  17. Yeah jack Sparrow does an awesome class down my local leisure centre.
  18. Pilates.
  19. I am just interested in getting my 'ands on some 13mm tachyon. On a serious note to the original poster... Why does it need to be Tachyon, or you going for matching collar and cuffs type thing? you climb on it so the dog has it? Is the rope new or used? As I said I have made plenty before for friends and family but it might be quite expensive for you. By the time you have paid rope, shipped to me, paid to be shipped to you - it is going to be one expensive dog lead.
  20. Show is the article then Tommy?
  21. yeah i can do it mate...
  22. As for the insurance companies... Just another ambiguity between differentiating freelance labour and Bona fide subcontractors. And yes, I agree they are not in business to do you favours.
  23. Lop and top I think you need to wind your neck in and grow up fella;)
  24. Give the rest of us a chance mate. . Looks like you are a run away winner by a country mile.
  25. Exactly Dave. Why should you have to pay for the privelidge of using their facility when they have millions upon millions of customers hard earned pound to play the markets with. That is where the majority of money is made. For example, those who use Santander. I used to work for a guy who banked with them, they were free to use for business banking. When he transferred money owed to my account - HSBC. It would take 5 days to clear. What do you think they are doing in that 5 day period?
