  1. You could always use a spell checker mate if your that worried.
  2. I run General grabber at on my Nav. The new pattern, good on road, quiet and have hardly noticed a drop in mpg. When I have had to pull trucks and chippers out of the sticky never had any problems off road with them. Probably done about 23 k miles on them and there is still plenty of tread left.
  3. Happy birthday mate. You will need another eye test now your getting on a bit. That dinner, healthy though it may be, didn't look appetising.
  4. Which Akus did you get mate?
  5. Shouldn't really need to take a file to what should be a tried and tested piece of kit IMO.
  6. Nicely done John.
  7. A little vid I did a few years ago. Taken Nr Tunbridge, Kent. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7-Df23TkPE]a vue from the top.mp4 - YouTube[/ame]
  8. Whe I was about 18 years old a college friend of mine was sent down for the above. Another guy owed him money and he saw him in the local town, so to scare him up a bit he mounted the curb with no intention of doing any damage. The other lad dived into a garden and reported it to the police. My friend ended up in court and a prison sentence for the above.
  9. My first gaffer told me if ever I had to stand in the road to halt, slow or stop traffic, best do it with a chainsaw in hand. Point the bar towards the traffic. People will happily drive around a person if they can but if there is a chance of scratching their car they usually think twice about it. I appreciate that the stop go board scenario would be difficult to have a saw in hand aswell.
  10. You will wait all that time just to save a few quid. By the time you get them the MkII will be out.
  11. I got a text from one of the other parents at school at the weekend sayin he had just squirted tea out of his nose... My oldest who is 5, was at a friends playing and the other parent overheard Haakon (my boy) tellin the other boy if you drink Fresh orange after caviar it tastes all yucky!. FTR he was referring to cheapo Norwegian cod roe in a tube you have on toast usually at breaky time.
  12. Cheers, that was 11 years ago... haha. I am a fatty now in comparison. The guy Nungubon was fighting in the earlier clip was Saenchai, found this pretty cool doc about him. Orono used to pop into our camp from time to time as he was a great friend of Nungubon. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO0R_Z1lN_c&feature=player_embedded]The Gods Of Muay Thai Part 1: Sor. Kingstar Saenchai - YouTube[/ame] [ame] [/ame] Check the cart wheel kick Saenchai uses. He fought my mate Rob Storey a couple of years ago and started doing it during the fight. Rob is a proper joker so he did a cartwheel kick attempt back at him, it was priceless. Rob did get stopped with low kicks though!
  13. i know what you mean Robert. A pic of me and Nungubon with his championship belts.
  14. Keep forgetting about this thread. This is a fight for the Lumpini Title in 1999. The guy in the Blue shorts is Nungubon Sitlechai. I trained in NE Thailand with Nungubon in 2002. He was a star in his day and the guy he is fighting is considered one of the most well known fighters in Thailand these days. Hope you like it.

  15. Only child here, due to medical circumstances 38 years ago. Had a lot of cousins my age as my mother was from a brood of 7. I have 2 sons, eldest is nearly 6 and youngest is 20 months old.
  16. The Facebook link is in his signature mate. Enjoy the show.
  17. Getting a bit heated in here, mind you don't get red noses.
  18. Can you put them back mate? that wall is 'kin ugly..! Nice work, how long has it taken you then? You initially said 2 men 3 days...

    Fair enough mate. As I said there are climbers and there are climbers. Hope you get a better one next time.

    I agree condescending and rude attitudes are an unpleasant atmosphere. Maybe, just maybe the guy had a point. You are new to the industry, why not not just suck it up and get on with it. Learn as much as you can and be one the better groundie. The climber probably learned the hard way so why should anyo e else get an easy ride. On the other hand, he may have been a Pratt! I have worked with climbers who cream off half the tree in 2 cuts and then the single groundie takes 20 mins to sort the crap out and the climber gets frustrated. It is ok to do that if you have 4 groundies but a climber has to be smart and keep the job running and to max efficiency. Less groundies, cut friendlier sized bits to keep the job flowing. Edit: forgot quote, the response was to BigT
  21. I dont think they do a course in experience mate. Get some of the above and then you might be ready. Sorry if it sounds harsh bit it is the truth. Tickets do not make a climber.
  22. There is always one... Great pictures BTW.
  23. Mark do you want to borrow it? I have a spare stool aswell if you like, so you will be able to reach it. :lol:
  24. I have a telescopic bar that fits inside the doorframe. That reminds me, I must fit it!
  25. Michael Hutchence style?
