  1. No hadn't ever thought of swimming as agood fitness aid. I've started cyling, but I'll have ago swimming esp. as my local pool is free at the moment. break out the mankini. yuk!
  2. The image of you doing the splits in a leotard makes me feel queasy. Of course flexability and mobility are different things. Yes your right steroids or gayboy vanity tablets as I like to call them will fill you up with water. Condom full of marbles! I think as long as one can do 100 pull ups and touch your wrists on your toes, it doesn't matter how much extra muscle you drag around with you. The shout about pies has been replaced by who ate all the protein shakes.Oh and I'm 15 stone Mick, but bet I look heavier than you due to Higher BMI.:001_smile:
  3. My understanding is that cardio vascular workouts are very different from body building regimes. The power to weight ratio of the average body builder would make them next to useless in a tree, but he'd be top dog when it comes to getting the timber out from a back garden. There's also a great deal of inflexibility that comes with muscle bulk, which once again hinders movement around a crown. I haven't climbed since November last year and I've stacked on over two stone! Strong muscle groups around our joints are an excellent way to protect them for sure, but too much and the whole point is lost. Strong fit and lean is the optimum for a climber. Bruce Lee good, Geoff Capes bad. I'm just a fat bastard now. Marathon in under 4 hours once, seems like an age away. I cant recommend Yoga enough to climbers, Its by far the best way to reduce the incidences of body damage. wish I could do it more. I agree that if you don't use it, you loose it. I'm the living proof.
  4. Ditto the dangers of shopping. Also avoid operating stop/go boards. Murder for the back and feet. I'm not aware of any HSE legislation that has changed my working practices. I'm not sure if they know enough to make judgment calls on our work, to a greater degree than is already exercised.
  5. Can we have some video of Skylines?
  6. Oh and the main thing is, that it's desirable. The job just goes so much better and people feel safe and confident (to a point) to carry out tasks on the road.
  7. I don't have C8, I worked with others who had attended the course. But I do know it. It's not rocket science setting out signs and cones in a specified order.keeping the book in the cab helps with out of the ordinary. But to get it very wrong would take the desire to get it wrong, laziness or incompetence. It's very easy IMO.
  8. I'm lucky I think in that i have never had to question the experience or integrity of any of the TOs I've rubbed up against. The relationship surly requires mutual lack of knowledge for it to work. I'm a typical man with my knowledge either being fantastically wide and shallow or anally focused and deep.
  9. I think I'm fairly unique in my enjoyment of form filling. It's not inhibited my life so far, I can have relationships with women and don't use presciption drugs. I particularly like being scarcastic on risk assesment forms designed by people outside the industry.
  10. Pyracantha? yes an anti thief plant if ever there was one
  11. That bitch still has a bit of herself within my epidermis from years ago.
  12. Some choice edits in the first vid, masking some smoke and mirrors. Explosives! It would be churlish to not approve.
  13. I want to see more pictures. Bob your cupboard is so obscene, its verging on some specialist pornography. Dirrrrrty.
  14. Is this a climax vegetation question, or are we talking tree beard walking tree battles? The Cherry would appear and all the big male trees would bow down to kiss her glorious blossom, then she'd squirt canker at them, the humiliation would ensure a stag head by the very least. Or the Hawthorn. Monogyna. another deadly woman but with a twisted body littered with hermaphrodite hypodermic needles. The ho.
  15. oi oi oi oi oi oi!!!!
  16. You can't see farts without special glasses.
  17. Oh I'm a changeling, never the same look twice, hair styles change with the seasons, body fat on the increase and more grey evertime I look.
  18. It's very hard to beat Sergio Leone. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHZpO6aNLwE[/ame] But This comes close. [ame] [/ame]
  19. Big Numbers too? I 'm not so much a fan of Moore, but I'm a fan of his collaborators. So by association, I'm an Alan fan. But for me its the graphic work of Moebius that really floats my boat, he's responsible for the look of bladerunner, Fith element and others. Loved it if he had tackled the DC and Marvel characters. And of course Tin Tin, there are some similarities between Moebius and Tin Tin
  20. me 5 mins ago. Original copy from back in the day.
  21. Some still think this is the stink [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P46bQNssQWQ&feature=related[/ame]
  22. Dark Knight blows it clean out of the bat cave dude!
  23. Good to see some kid getting a solid education in something useful. Is he getting a good skill set from you?
  24. David, get yourself acheap ringflash you take so many photos of fungi, that you deserve it. It'll make em pop out of the picture.
