  1. There would be many domestic customers that would be horrified at the thought you would be reversing a big ugly mpg down their beautiful newly laid drive
  2. I,m sorry guys, I have to be completely honest, just look along the line and see the enthusiasm etched on the faces of the participants. It,s pathetic
  3. I wouldn't like to go near 8mm with a silky Mike, even your stubble would be a rope shredding hazard
  4. But that's what a 4x4 is for isn,t it ? For pulling stuff and ragging stupid people from out of fields and ditches
  5. One thing that gets me is a 4x4 with no tow bar, what's the point
  6. I love this pic from a mog website
  7. I can't think of another vehicle that would suit my needs.
  8. No mate, I'm saving up for Jonsies show
  9. Will you get thrown out once they realise you aren't a VIP plip ?
  10. You pups might be able to pick up a few tips from us 40+ ers
  11. I think he meant to say it wasn't taken out of......
  12. David, what time of year was it? I ask because the smell of almond is really strong at certain times of year Sent from my iPhone cos it was
  13. There's only one axe throwing competition and that is hosted at FR jones show, any others are just qualifiers
  14. I didn't know this so have had to look up why : Anecdotal evidence suggests that the plant may be mildly toxic. The noxious odours have been associated with nausea and headaches, as well as with contact dermatitis reported in both humans and sheep, who also developed weakness and paralysis. It contains a quinone irritant, 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone, as well as active quassinoids (ailanthone itself being one) which may account for these effects, but they have, however, proved difficult or impossible to reproduce in humans and goats. In one trial a tincture from the blossom and foliage caused nausea, vomiting and muscular relaxation.[46]
  15. Andy, shouldn't you be getting Your ropes wet somewhere
  16. I don't use unmarked untagged unchecked gear and I have enough knowledge to know whether a rope is damaged on the inside, inspecting ropes and crabs is absolutely basic and if you are entrusting your life to them you should know how to inspect them for yourself. I know a few idiots that climb on half severed ropes or mouldy ropes, despite this being pointed out If any of my gear gets cut, I resplice it or replace it.
  17. I think he was referring to his ppe I check my own gear, if I got someone to check it for me, as soon as they had gone I would check it again for myself. However, my groundies climbing gear is lolered by someone else. I like to be in control of my own life and not put my life in the hands of others when it comes to my own ppe. Nothing to do with an insult to intelligence
  18. my sentiments exactly Sent from my iPhone cos it was
  19. Last year I connected a copper tube to a hedgetrimmer engine and smoked all the holes, activity stopped for a while but obviously should have kept it up
  20. You might find you keep getting punctures, don't ask me why but I was getting puncture left right and centre after putting a tube in two of my tubeless tyres. You'd have been better off using that tyre seal permanent puncture repair stuff at a tenner a pop
  21. I haven,t Rich. I,ve googled it, looks its a good one to watch Edit: I ordered a load of scissor traps last night, so collapsing the tunnels in a few weeks will be on the cards
