  1. Justin I think. I used to have the one with a secateur pouch build into the side when I used a Zubat.
  2. Never been to Benidorm mate. I have spent quite a lot of time in the alps though and the winters usually entertain the 6 nations. The anti English stance is quite apparent. When I questioned a few of my Scottish mates about this they said they hated the English...! So I asked other hated me and the others who hailed from south of the border? Answer was no to the individuals but they still stated thy hated the English nation. I found this answer to be pretty narrow minded TBH. Hate is a very strong word. I could say I had similar experiences in the states and Asia.
  3. I am on my 3rd pair, The first 2 pairs lasted about 2 years each. Never had a leak, except on their last legs of my first pair that the sole wore down so much, I pulled the toe cap.
  4. I can only speak from my experience. I wouldn't have written such a statement if it was untrue. I loved it when the Scottish ladies were hurling their way through the winter Olympics. I love seeing the Welsh RFU team do well as it means so much to their heritage. When the Rep of Ireland do well in International footie tournaments it is awesome. Whenever I have been in foreign countries and watched England play in whatever sport it seems the other Nationalities of the B Isles are there to shoot them down. Sad but true IME.
  5. The tears are on the pitch, its all over now! Never mind.
  6. Aaahha, yes you at probably correct but I was 5 or 10 years stupider then.
  7. I am at my fittest at the time of writing. Mind you i would have written exactly the same 5 or 10 years ago. It's all in the head.
  8. Honestly, I really enjoy seeing Scottish and Welsh or Irish teams doing well in whatever sports. What really gets on my tits though is that a lot of the population of the aforementioned countries love to see England fail... With this in mind I am supporting Switzerland. Go on Federer!
  9. Put myself through college. Worked for a few companies over the early years. Set myself up freelance about 7 years ago. So you could say it was my own hard work.
  10. DOH!, Me being dozy, I reckon the rains washed a few of the remaining brain cells away. A 30 metre rope would allow for 30 metre trees or 29 metre, allowing 1 metre for the running bowline. It was meant to be tongue in cheek as Old Mill Trees seems to be a bit evangelical about the RW. I have a couple of 45 ish metre ropes and a 20 which seems to suit the work I get. Seem to be using the 45 metre Tachyon a lot lately.
  11. I was half expecting you to say to buy a 30 metre rope, rope wrench and climb srt so it'll be good for 60 metre trees.
  12. I worked, got very wet, got the job done and went home. Northern Grit in the land of the south.
  13. Didn't fancy this pretty skinny oak. Toe to tip in ivy and fair amount of dog rose in there to boot. Closed the car park area as I knew the tips would be in there. Gobbed nice an high. Bobs you mams brother, no climbing there.
  14. Picked up a bit of Tachyon at the AA show the other week. Spliced this up when I got back. I also was given some twisted wire, rubber coated from a bike lock and inserted it into the eye of a rope guide I made earlier. Works a treat and only had a problem retrieving once when it chokered to a stem and the eye half hitched on itself.
  15. Some may say it is heartless, but there had better be quite a few pounds on the table for me to rescue a cat. You never know, the tree surgeon may have turned up and said 100 quid to the owner... They refused to pay, he declines to do it. Suddenly he is the PUSSY! Would I be a Pussy too if I refused the job?
  16. Go on then mate enlighten us..?
  17. I emailed a couple of dates and he responded with a thank you via email. I only had one day in the week he asked about so probably didn't fit into his plans.
  18. Get it Aaron and show me how to splice it up.
  19. Johny H, supervised for a bit and then swore for a bit.
  20. I had a Packet of sainsbury's choccy biscuits when I got home. Finished them off with 11 'ses this morning. Call me Sherlock, but felix I think they might have been yours as I dont shop at Sainsbury's and rarely buy choccy biscuits. They were a nice treat though.
  21. Camping is one of the perks of this show.
  22. Back home now. Cheers Matty for arranging a social event based around killing a poplar. Cheers Steve for the t-shirts. It was a good day and many hands and all that...!
  23. Lets get ready to RUMBLE. It's SHOW TIME. (to be said in a Bruce Buffer accent!). I'll be going, a great show and a good social for those that may be in two mind as to wether they will be attending. The more the merrier.
  24. Where are you based exactly Al?
