  1. One of my pals used to have a load in his stand at posh country game fairs and arts and crafts events. He would always sell out.
  2. Did you have a very dry summer last year? Are there more seeds this year? A lot of the trees in Oslo look like they are succumbing to DED yet the foliage and vigour looks poor. Yet it is a bumper year for seed production after a dry summer last year. Could be a thought?
  3. It is already for sale on the German Freeworker site.
  4. I will take your word for it.
  5. I can’t understand why people keep using these.
  6. It’s on Netflix. IP Man 4 the finale.
  7. Gruesome fight scene from Deadwood. Be warned. This is arguably one of the most accurate depictions on screen of a fight. They are both knackered after about a minute. Fight starts at 7.30 mark.
  8. Steve, have you seen the latest IPman film? I watched it the other day. Some pretty good fight scenes.
  9. What has that got to do with the title of the thread? Or are you trying to generate clicks for your business?
  10. Yes plenty of times. Where are you based?
  11. Just pay for a grab lorry to take it away. Presuming it is within reach of the point the lorry and Hiab can get to.
  12. Have a lady on the team and there is usually a guarantee of use of the inside toilet.
  13. That’s it mate. If the limb is horizontal and favoured left or right, first cut always into the compression timber approx 45 deg. Same on your side and then match the two cuts with a fast top cut and Pop. Off it goes with a triangular shaped hinge pointing to the ground.
  14. I try to be efficient, the v cut is one less cut than the box cut, but works almost identically. One less cut means one less chance to get it pinched.
  15. A man was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome. He mentioned the trip to the barber who responded, "Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?" "We're taking American Airlines," was the reply. "We got a great rate!" "American Airlines?" exclaimed the barber. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?" "We'll be at the downtown International Marriott." "That dump! That's the worst hotel in the city. The rooms are small, the service is surly and they're overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you get there?" "We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope." "That's rich," laughed the barber. "You and a million other people trying to see him. You'll be at the back of St Peter's Square and from that distance he'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it." A month later, the man again came in for his regular haircut. The barber asked him about his trip to Rome. "It was wonderful," explained the man. "Not only were we on time in one of American Airlines's brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful 28 year old stewardess who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $25 million remodeling job and now it's the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us the presidential suite at no extra charge!" "Well," muttered the barber, "I know you didn't get to see the Pope." "Actually, we were quite lucky, for as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the pope likes to personally meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later the pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down as he spoke a few words to me." "Really?" asked the Barber. "What'd he say?" He said, "Where'd you get the shitty haircut?"
  16. Unfortunately I have been off sick for the last 4 months due to tendon surgery in my hand. I haven’t actually climbed in anger with the double bridge version. I just tried it on and set the bridge, leg loops and tool loops to match the previous TM’s I have owned: This was in winter and just kept climbing in my old one. Thinking I would leave it till summer. Then I needed the op and it is still in the garage looking very clean.
  17. I have had 4 TM harnesses and now have the one with the double bridge. It doesn’t notably feel 2.5kg heavier. Maybe your mate had the lite version before?
  18. RRPro is now CE marked. On sale at freeworker.de apparently.
  19. I have always thought it was rude to name drop. Mick Jagger told me that.
  20. That is no age at all. Sad news.
  21. I have worked with Avants at a few companies. They are pretty bomb proof IMO. Never had the opportunity to work with or alongside a MO. Which one are you gonna keep? Nice work BTW.
  22. Who’s Avant Mick? I thought you had a Multione?
