Facts? Should I say theories? Well a big bird flys to your house with some pink Plasticine.

Is this the same voice? Love this track, essentially just alist of places, but somehow elevated by a great voice. having said that The greatest voice other than the late great Tommy Vance has to be Richard Burton. Under milkwood, "bible black". [ame]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bP-N9057wiQ[/ame]

Hey parents out there. My son turned 10 last week, and so I decided it was time to have the traditional Father and son conversation about sex, Yes the birds and the bees. So knowing that my son's questions would take us into uncharted territory, I prepared my self and went down stairs to be confronted by this scene. My wife had taken over the entire operation. I feel a little disempowered I must say, that's a fathers job surely. In all seriousness, when did or do you intend to tell your children about the facts of life in a non `stork' way?

Wow! That's the present record holder in Europe I think. Where is it? can we all have a go?

Artemisia absinthium!!! Indeed. And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as if it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. — Book of Revelation 8:10-11 The Russian for wormwood is Chernobyl. Oh and this thread is a bit like this shot of Tony What'shisname after he went fishing.

Dude, with 30 of them today you are a pigeon. Is that a good thing?

No matter which beutiful garden/landscape/country estate i'm in I always think it could be improved with a motorcross bike.

Only by the virtue of plural Mankinis do I suspect a mankini party. How many levels of wrong is that?

Its a complete ass that the job isn't respected enough. Even though Horticulture is our parent, you'd think we could escape that industry's poverty trap. Theres got to be someting wrong when a good climber is pulling in the same as a landscape gardener. Don't get me started on city boys and their bonus farm yard manure.

self medicating my moonshine due to EEC absinthe husbandry subsidy cuts. That downturn hits all of us.

Nice bit of cloth! The Mankini!

You should have seen the girth on it, big as a village. Overhanging the runway at Heathrow it was to. Hurricane force winds were blowing and it was at take down with just a silky. This was when I was working for Eric Frei.

I dont take bags into bed.

Standing in a field with your arms in a `Y' shape. As international rescue buzzes overhead.

I wonder what the Tree fella would say to your revolutionary ideas Kev?

I say, one has rinsed ones aural receptors and the aforementioned post has crystal like qualities about it, but only in retrospect. For this service I will pay you a shilling. Good day to you.

respect due.

I didn't understand any of that dear chap. Can you post again without spitting.

I guess that number of Gay men are making an impact on the clothes etc available in shops. Personally i've always thought wearing your shirt collar up was the biggest sign you batted for the other side. Unless your Dracula.

I agree that they are worth every penny. Bloody shame they have to beg for money. More than a shame, it's a disgrace! I've packed a mate into the back of one before. Cash in the pot everytime guys.

Thanks guys. Andy, I think my age played a part really. I've always tried to be the best climber in whatever outfit I've worked for, and for 20 od years that was the case. But I can't compete with 20 year olds, particularly once they've got a bit of experience. I was going too fast for an outashape old guy, trying to go balls out all the time doesn't work. Some people suggested staying in the industry as a groundsman or tree officer, but I'd feel like a caged tiger, I'm a climber. Besides I have another career. Chainsaw on a jib arm? inspired. I just have to marry the two careers into a kick ass arb movie. Oh and a word of warning...since October I have put on 3 stone!!! I'd post a before and after of my gut, but someone might be having their dinner. Thanks again for kind words. sniff, sniff.

These have been around for a while. Stooopid if you ask me. Invented by women no less. Think about it, if it were a mans invention it would be bigger and have at least one strap and be called a messenger bag or two straps and be called a ruc sac. Who walks round with a pencil case? Best thing for a manbag is a proper bag to put it in. Take out the contents and put em in your pockets eh? Stiletoes for men Nancy pads for men Empathic 28 day cycles for men Anyone fancy a kiss?

The arm is doing very well as you can see from this picture. Light saber skills are a little off, but it's still more refined and not as clumsy as a blaster. But and this is as good as any other time I guess, I retired from tree surgery on October 16th last year. Many things conspired towards this decision, the arm maneuver was just the last thing that had to fall into place. I've contacted flesh a few times now and I really like my limbs, like a lot! There's an old Jewish saying..."when 6 of your friends say you look ill, lie down." I'm still rec climbing, but my income or lack of it rather, now comes from Film directing and photography. I still think climbing is one of the best jobs in the world, I did it for 25 years. But I'm an old man really and I'm past my prime as | climber. I wish I could have gone out on a high, with a massive take down, instead it was a pitiful lime reduction. I've maintained my place on arbtalk because it's still my industry. Known it all my working life, so hard to let go. I was going to have a goodbye party, but the time has past I think now. Might go and have it in the Angry Kid thread.
