  1. My dad just picked up a Tassimo t20 from tesco for 54 knicker. He is lazy and loves convenience. Suppose it is a step up from the Nescafé instant he's been on for the last 30 odd years.
  2. I hardly ever reduce and thin at the same time. Even when the sheet says so. Once you have removed the ends of the branches you want as much leafy matter available for the tree to recover.
  3. Glad you liked them. I've seen some cracking fights recently but keep forgetting to post them here. It's good that your back in the gym Robert. How was the bjj seminars you did the other month.? Are you training with Scott?
  4. Great Kicks. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70gJkaCdnS0&list=UUI5BfL5v777Is865a_E3fUw&index=1]Kumsub Suvitgym vs Yodsiam Chor Chokamnuay - 2nd December 2012 - YouTube[/ame]
  5. Perfect Elbow. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iCwUTlerh8&list=UUI5BfL5v777Is865a_E3fUw&index=1]Aikpikart Mor Krungthepthonburi vs Rambo Phetphokao - Rajadamnern Stadium 12th December 2012 - YouTube[/ame]
  6. Cockers are great, grew up with a liver, white and tan model. Daft as a bottle of chips and appropriately named "Timber".
  7. Mistoeken Identity I think you mean.
  8. Mick, you scruffbag, fancy having a whole in your sock. Looks like a bloody potato in there! :001_tt2:
  9. Could be up for it. Not for definite though.
  10. Nice one mate.
  11. Clarks cut and climb. Great for cutting and climbing. Great even for taking the kids for a walk.
  12. Thanks for the concern, a friend of mine suggested it as he has been using this method for quite a while. My alternate method is silicon seal from industrial bearings.
  13. The silicon bearing seal for industrial bearing will have more memory than knicker elastic.
  14. Pulley saver.
  15. Just by a bike lock, if you understand the sort I mean. Or an alternative I was discussing the Shutler was 8mm catapult rubber or silicone for bearings. Cant remember the technical term but I think it was suggested in the Splicing attempts thread.
  16. Tommy, there you go. I knew I had a pic of the finished job. Forgot the Shrinkwrap for this one though.
  17. That one, it was quite some time ago, I am not too sure. The most recent, decent I have produced was with a bit of bike lock. The wire type lock, twisted wire construction coated in the usual smoke grey shrinkwrap. Exactly 8mm aswell, perfect for 16 strand. I hacksaw about 3 inches or so for each one. File the ends to smooth, seal them and then insert to the bottom of the eye. Hey presto, the eye stays permanently open just like the Pulley Saver.
  18. just posted a message for you in the other thread...
  19. I could do you a dog lead if you provide me with some rope. It will have a large eye on end so it is easy to get your hand in there. I can also splice a small eye for the other end to connect fido to. If you choose to use it as a pulley saver then that is your decision. PM me if interested. Here is a lead I did for my mates dog. His mutt is called cocoon.
  20. No worries mate. Cheers for clearing it up. I remember chattin to Paul after I had posted the pics in the splicing attempts thread. Glad it is working for you. I have slightly modified my latest attempt. I took about 3 inches or bike lock. Twisted wire coated in shrink wrap. Inserted it into the eye and it holds it open all the time. Sort of a triangular shape. Retrieve everyone now pretty much without fail.
  21. I am sure there is a simple explanation but could you let me know why you have posted a picture of my work?
  22. That does look very neat and tidy. I think you are mistaken though as that is a picture of a rope guide I made and photographed on my dining room floor. Cheers.
  23. I would climb out cut the bits. Pulling the pruned branches back into the crown. Or board over the greenhouse with plywood sheets.
  24. Yeah about 7 pints, a few bottles, couple of jd's, the odd brandy and a couple of tequila shooters. Xmas do last night but not in the same league as Noro. We all had it a couple of years ago. No doubt it will come to my family on chrimbo eve!
