Shame there's no pictures taken by the camera. This is new to me and I find pretty pictures a good `in' to any new subject, can someone post some images from this camera? Within the arb context of course. What do you use it for? See look I'm interested.

seventy four feet six inches.

SNEAKERS. That's what Americans call trainers. Daps, in the west country you.

It sounds like science fiction doesn't it?

I did enjoy. I've had a crush on Polly since `Dress' at Pilton in 89. TY sings like an angel. Do you think that song is about 9-11? or is it that some of the lyrics just fit? [ame] [/ame]Horrible fan video, but beutiful song. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0WjYWnW0uM[/ame] Thanks dave i've gone off on a polly trip this afternoon.

Connect camera to computer, some kind of download wizard will ask you where you want to put them. usually the default destination is `my pictures' so go with this. Click the reply button on this thread, at the top of the reply window is a little pic of a paperclip, to the right of the white smiley face. Click this and an attachment window will open. Click browse and navigate to your picture. (Be aware that there are size restrictions, so you may have to resize. This means some kind of picture editor. i'm aPhotoshop man myself but it costs £500, so use something else to resize. Or make sure the camera takes smaller files in the first place) Once you have found it, click open and then once it appears in the attachments window click upload, it will tell you when it's done it. Close window and post reply. Rockin!

Evolution meets aliens. Thanks for that Marcus

Have you got plain alluminium greedy boards? What about a picture as it looks now and then we can have a go at decorating it?

Here's my breakage map.

Got to agree. great words, retro drum machine. Brilliant! I agree with every single word of it too. Good Album too.

Dean makes the point really. Discussions generally go off at tangents naturally (rupe!). particularly when people feel at ease in any given situation. This was a jubilant thread about a new Karabina, I am one of the ones who is in fact excited by it's arrival, and also very much involved in the banter. I see no conflict in both subjects what so ever, that's how it rolls on the forum. If it were a dry and formal thread I wouldn't read it or get involved, for any thread to be engaging it has to be written by engaging people. No matter how educational a thread is, if its written by dry dullards, it doesn't work for me. I think I covered the basics of the subject, or at least covered it to the degree that anyone interested could take it further. But I welcome banter, I love it, On and off the forum I have a gob. This thankfully is not an AA newsletter!! What I do have a problem with is people bemoaning the banter and yet not giving anything to the forum them selves. I'm in a proper grump now. I've just kicked the living (consumable raddish urinal) out of my soap box.

I watch with interest. `Infamous' may be pushing it.

At the end of the day it's all disco handbag girly citroen saxo whump whump isn't it? Chavtastic tunage!!!

Trainers? Approach shoes, cross trainers, running shoes, tennis shoes, base ball boots, are they all the same sports based footwear? Can they look the bis, yet be too cool for school? Your feet are the point of contact during the waking hours, the way you treat your feet can have long lasting and initialy subtle affects on the body. Don't underestimate the importance of good footwear, trainers or otherwise, quality generally means more expensive. It's all a question of priorities, knowledge and suss. From motorcross boots to flippers I got the lot. Marcos you chav!!!

Trouble with putting longevity at the top of the list is that the most hard wearing of boots are also the most uncomfortable, least sensitive and least attractive, which is of course very important. A man who cares about what he looks like will care about what a tree looks like. Don't deny your feminine sides chaps. The most hard wearing boots are made from concrete. So says my Italian business man friend of ours.

janii, for all your criticism of garbage posted on this serious thread, (and who would argue with that assessment?) you have posted zilch that informs anyone not in the know about this new DMM Carabiner. Nothing dude! So all you have done is criticize period. If you really want to make a difference where it counts, derail the derailment and talk about the development of the Treemagineers hitch climber, the two recommended crabs to use with it and why it's such a boon to our industry. This would explain why some of us fan boys are just plain excited about it's final arrival, and have a party to celebrate. Were shooting the breeze at said party checking out the girls in the kitchen taking vodka jelly shots, while your outside worried about the parking situation. I'm sorry to have been such a central part to your disappointment, but while we wait for the main act to turn up and dazzle us with their carabiner repartee, we locals like to have a laugh. Feel free to start the serious stuff man, in the mean time lets all stare intently in your direction for an informed point of view. Your avatar suggests a rad approach to life which I feel is very misleading. Pass me my slippers and pipe. In the mean time heres a vid. watch about 1:10 for the red gate version of this crab. [ame] [/ame]Treemagineers really should do a piece on this , but in the meantime, if y'all are using the hitchclimber as I do the ultimate set up includes or will do now an oval link on the return spliced end of your rope, makes it all sit very tidy and efficient, what with it being a very small link, the colour is because DMM use a green gate to delineate between arb and rope access carabiners, consequently the fashion slur is unfounded, this is a serious and well developed piece of kit, perfectly stressing nothing but the centre of the pulley Assembly.

Chimps with automatic wepons, smeared in KY jelly from head to foot and stuffed into tight wet suits. Nothing can be added to this to improve it, other than a new oval 3 way! Techno bloody hardcore!? Spiral tribe repetetive beats! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU4pV_H3yYc&feature=related[/ame]

Assuming all boots give the same amount of safety with regard to chainsaws (virtually none!) I would put comfort above all else. Grip, support (for ankles and spikes), lightness and toughness would follow. A good climbing boot wants to be as narrow as possible with a high rand and narrow sole profile to aid small foot placements. Round laces, goretex lining, steel toecap. It's a very good point you make concerning chaps wearing £100 trainers, for 10 hours etc. I have never gone budget on anything as it's a false saving for sure. Last boots were £160, what's pushing the £200 mark? Everything lasts a year or less, rope, harness, boots trousers, saw.

When I was in the Himalayas, I drank a litre of cannabis flower honey down in one. It was bloody lovely! I love bees. bzzzzzzzz.

Sorry I have a cold. I meant Cod.

Only if the rest of the cast were randy female chimps in wet suits.

It's hard to get a sense of scale. How tall is the piece the copter has picked up in the picture? Did you have a quick blast in it too? I love helicopters, I'm jelous.

I agree, not that I've read them. But those books were always going to make weak films. Thats why the Broccoli avoided them in the first place. C.R. was a card game. wow! action packed! no car chase or barry theme. I thought Dr.No and From Russia with Love had Flemming fidelity. As do Bourne francise, which is where I looked recently to get my spy itch scratched.

Your refering to the literary version surley? The films have always steered a more camp cabaret course, avoiding the harsh realities of real espionage capers. The film was like a TV movie homage to the Roger era. The action sequences pandered to a childs MTV informed version of dramatic action. The camera was always too close, not allowing the kinetic energy of the sequence to be viewed as a whole. This made it difficult to get any sense of movement, it was all just messy. By contrast, the fight sequences in any of the Bourne films took a more measured aproach, and by doing so gave the choreography more credability. If you can see one man kicking the toffee out of another man in one wide shot, you know it's for real, right? other than this modern phenomena, the film was hampered by some seriously bad performances from the supporting cast. Other than Dench of course who is a class act. The script had been focus grouped to death and any grit had been removed to give it alower cert. Ed, I think we are both big bond fans, so you know this was not a bond movie. Basing it on a flemming title and calling the main protagonist James, does not make it Bond. Lazenby kicking back with a room full of honeys on top of the Jungfrau in switzerland, that's bond!
