  1. I have said this before a hundred times. It makes the clarification a lot simpler. Do not call yourself a ‘subby’ if you’re labour only. Use the term contract climber or freelance whatever. Leave the term ‘subby’ for the bona fide boys (or girls). It is pretty clear if you look at it like that. Stop making a relatively straight forward situation more complicated.
  2. They are all great when they want your money. Have you had any claim with them?
  3. Great work Reg. I bet you slept well after working in those woods.
  4. The initial quote was a bit off the mark... But then again it is just a story.
  5. I use Baseline Alloys. Maybe they are thinner at the bottom of the shank.
  6. I think you got barred for spelling it wrong.
  7. Matty, does the addition of the material actually make that much difference? Cheers.
  8. Second the Andrews. I will be getting another pair when these give up.
  9. Erik has a thread on here with some of his work. Not sure if the teeter totter is in there. Erik, I didn’t mean to answer in your behalf but it was just in case you didn’t see Georgio’s question.
  10. Are you onsite in this scenario? sounds like a se climber has come in to help you out therefore you are required to have the EL in place. he is a freelance labourer not a bona fide sub contractor.
  11. I agree with what Mark and Steve said. However, I also used to carry my own Income protection insurance... just in case. That was just piece of mind and common sense IMO and not a legal requirement.
  12. If you were to look at my profile you would see I run a company in Norway... Hence my question, I was trying to be helpful.
  13. So Georgio, what is your answer to the the question originally posed, that I answered? I am am well aware of the diameter of the ring effecting the rope of it is too narrow. Do do you agree or not, that multiple rings equals multiple friction points through the crown rather than one point of friction at the base?
  14. Where are you looking work?
  15. Where in the original post did Eggs mention the check was related to firearms or SC? I got the impression the check was due to the location of work being airside at Stansted airport.
  16. Same here eggs. 5Shires... look at the title of the thread. The actual post, as far as I can see is exemplary in spelling. Even woodcutter has realised that and acknowledged it.
  17. Nice chipper mate. We used one when I was contracting for a company in Oslo. Great chippers, very little shedding of certain species.
  18. One of the greatest things in life is to be able to laugh at oneself.
  19. No because the pulley is almost friction free, meaning all the point of friction is in the Bollard, Hobbs, Portowrap etc. Rings create a bit of friction. Multiple rings more friction and this dissipating heat elsewhere other than the bollard.
  20. LR’s are the biggest joke ever.
  21. Ms Moneypenny used to be another. http://virtualmsmoneypenny.com/
  22. A bit lavish for every day but I clocked this picture from Christmas day a few years ago. Venison haunch, shot by my old man and deboned by a butcher friend. All veg grown organically at a farm we shoot on... farmer provides the veg, gratis every year. Bit of BP from the same butcher who deboned the haunch. Delicious.
  23. I used to have Bacon, Sausage and BP in a roll from the cafe for breakfast. Many people mocked, until they tried it... It's lovely.
  24. Thanks. He was an elderly man late 70’s. The person I felt most for was my Auntie. She was old school NHS Matron back in the day. Doctors could do no wrong etc. She felt let down by her beloved institution. All the best to you and Mrs Stubby
