  1. Excellent - gonna show the missus that one.
  2. "How to win friends and influence people by Henderson." Good luck in your new venture. You running any courses down south then?
  3. All whipped and ready to rock.
  4. Jonny, if you read the full thread, Alistair is not a subby climber he is a company owner. It just so happened on a day he was subbing to another company who required his climbing. Hope you get sorted whatever way you choose with the claim.
  5. Just spliced up some used imori. Bit of a bitch it was. Took about 20 minutes just to get the core out. The rest went pretty smooth after a bit of hammer. Just need to whip it up now. Hadleigh mentioned to make the measurements for the eye a but larger as the jacket is so loose the eye can really tighten up once you milk all the slack out of the cover.
  6. Haha. Apparently I used the top handle quite a bit. I didn't realise until I pulled the silky after about 4 trees and the boys started cheering. Couldn't work it out till the cameras came out. Like in the Secateur pic.
  7. Cheers Peter. We have a great local butcher. I will enquire next time I am having a posh meaty cook up.
  8. Tell me more...
  9. I use a cinch but was informed at one of the 3atc competitions last year that I shouldn't be using it as it is for rec purposes only. Any comment? I use it though on a longer lanyard and a vt and pulley on a shorter lanyard.
  10. Knock its horns off and wipe its arse, it will be done enough for me. Seriously though, gotta be a ribeye for me. Cooked about rare side of medium. I used to eat steak rare as rocking horse sh.. Until I was educated by a chef at a Argie steak house that ribeye has to be medium as the beauty and flavour of that cut comes from the marbeling of fat. It has to be cooked to medium to allow the breakdown of fat and flavour. Saying that, I still order fillet or sirloin rare a d rocking horse do do if I fancy a change.
  11. Each day me a Ross climbed with an groundie each. Then Ross and his bro and another groundie went back on occasion to work there. I think Ross used a spiderjack for a few but no MEWPs.
  12. No just a hitch and rope.
  13. Haha. The only time they came out.
  14. Cheers Ross. Did you get Luke's tree done in the end? I thought you might have posted the Secateur pic...

  16. I find a hammer works on most stubborn things.

  20. i used to do the brain training game on the Nintendo DS when on the khazi. Kept the grey matter working as the brown matter was flowing.
  21. I have always used other peoples mix. Regardless of brand. Regarding the comments about saws seizing etc and only using your own mix... Not one of the guys I work for have had saws seize on them, so it isn't a worry for me.

    <p>Hi John, I was driving so may have been in a dodgy area. What I was trying to say was did you get it all done? obviously you did. We had trouble getting the last tree done due to guys having to leave site, getting logs away or chippings. As Jake didnt have his ticket I thought it best to get the dismantle done as it was handling a big saw in tree where as the repollard, at a push, could be done with a hand saw. Plus the road was a bit of a nightmare with traffic and needing people on the deck to stop motors was a bit difficult when they were not on site. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png" alt=";)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p>

    <p>Thanks for being so prompt with invoice.</p>

     

  23. I once blew an engine in the fast lane of the m1. Managed to try and limp to the hard shoulder but it was next to an on slip road. I had to stop at the end of the checker area with cars joining the carriageway a couple of feet from the passenger side and about the same to the slow lane of m1. Lashing with rain and about 11pm. Bobby pulls up behind after a while and I wind down th window and he said the same bloody line. Joker!
  24. Cool, let us know how you get on with them.
  25. I never had Crodas but the Crestas are holding up very well for me. I got them in September last year and they barely look worn in. I do wear my Airstreams for dismantles though.
