Rich Rule

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.

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?"

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.

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?

RRPro is now CE marked. On sale at freeworker.de apparently.

I have always thought it was rude to name drop. Mick Jagger told me that.

That is no age at all. Sad news.

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.

Who’s Avant Mick? I thought you had a Multione?

Did you ever come across the lad I mentioned. City or Paul Hough (Huffy) was a painter and decorator. Dylan was a plumber. Can’t remember his surname. Gid was a chippie. Scott was a spark. Another of their lot was called Barney, proper nut par. They all went to the US in 1997 and pretty much stayed there as illegals u til they found a way to stay permanent. Apart from Dylan who got pulled over for a broken tail light around 2007. He was a bit pissed amd they breathalysed him and asked for ID. He handed over his passport by accident. Visa had expired and he was deported and ended up in North London. They we’re all a right bunch of wreck heads. Blagged it out of Stoke to work on a resort in Connecticut. They just wrote some letters saying they were experienced MTB’ers and were members of the “Chorlton Wheelies”. They were put in charge of the MtB hire and were guides on the resorts. It was hilarious as they could barely ride a bike let alone be guides/bike mechanics etc.

So you hung about with Robbie Williams. Or was Stoke on Trent full of Eggheads? I used to work with a load of lads from Stoke when I was in America. Kept in touch for a few years and went out to see them in Colorado. Sadly, I have lost touch these days. One of the lads was called Paul Hough, or City to his friends and family. He was born the same day in 1972 that Stoke City won the league cup. His dad wanted to christen him City but ended up with Paul as his missus protested. The City name stuck though.

Aah yes. “Short arms and deep pockets syndrome” I think it is in the Northern DNA.

I used to love watching Rex Hunts fishing adventures. Rex Hunt was an ex Ozzie rules star who went on to have his own fishing show and had got quite portly in his old age. One episode he was describing something from when he was a young man. ”When I were a lad, I mean, before there was a roof over the tool shed…” Once I get to fat twat status, I will be using that one as often as I can get it into a conversation.

Whenever I couldn’t finish a meal when I was a kid. My dad or mum would say… “Eat your food, there are baby children starving in Africa you know!” Cheers Bob (Geldoff) and live aid. Now a days, I use this saying whenever my kids don’t finish their food. As soon as I say to the kids “finish your food” A chorus comes from the other side of the table… ”Yeah we know, baby children starving in Africa!” Then my youngest (the cheeky one) usually says. “Ok, I’ll send it to them then.”

You can get a stroke from diving into cold water in a cold day. My pal over here dived in for an Ice Bath on New Year’s Day. He had a stroke later that evening. 39 years old, healthy Muay Thai Instructor.

I know which one would be more fun…

…

If you can try to change the length of the bridge. This will affect how you will hang.

Nice fleet Simon. Hope your well mate.

Laser pointer you say? On the PM’s expenses you say?

Karen’s cat was out last night.

Scruff the rope up a bit. Maybe the zz will work then? I don't use a zig zag so I don't have any experience on that top and combo.

Sliders mate. Not sandals. A complete different kettle of fish.
