In the minds of the mindless, drivel is colateral. Is this the dumbing down of kids TV? I love blinking me. I don't watch the box, nor do my kids. Prefere them to watch David Attenborough DVDs and movies.

I feel the same way. My wife recons she can taste the difference. I did a pepsi challenge on her and yes she can. since then I go for pot whenever I can.

Maybe that's a bit of rubber on the eye keeping it compact? I thought it was a `micro eye' Its funny how you get stuck in methods and don't stop to think about if it's being done right; I always run my rope guide with the pulley to the left and the retrieval shackle to the right, with the ART sticker out. If i reverse this, of course I can retrieve with the tail. feel pretty stupid now. The old dogs new tricks adage is coming home to roost. The ball as it is will still work. As far as retail therapy is concerned, I'm employed and the commander in chief wont buy me the treemotion or a new bit of blaze. I'm still climbing on one of the very first butterflys!!

I received my Hitch climber from Nod yesterday and used it today. Great! I've got one problem in that the spliced eye on my XTC will not pass through the rope guide pulley mount, If i use the other end there are problems with the termination interfering with the Hitch, but I can retrieve the rope guide. I've noticed a lot of you guys are using these tiny spliced eyes. Any recommendations for my set up (which I think is pretty standard these days) here is a hitch climber video, does anyone know what rope is being used? thanks guys [ame] [/ame]

Science has a say on the thread that can never end. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/3016342.stm And.. http://www.ehow.com/how_114229_fix-cup-tea.html

It's a light beer I see. keep her away from the tequila

I do not as I have previously expressed have much faith in the HSE's interest in investigating anything. They have very little statistics on our industry, but still feel they can legislate it. Thanks Dean for sharing, very sobering account.

I wonder if this was published in the April edition of runners world?

Personally I'd get 30 and 31 and then seek employment with an firm that has a proactive policy toward training. If you show unbounded enthusiasm and talent, you'll end up on many courses and finally a couple of years down the line in a better situation than the apprenticeship path. All depends on how adept you feel you are for this type of work. Also this route relies on finding a good employer. Most will ask for you to sign a contract to stay for a set number of years after qualifying, or you can buy your way out by paying for any training you've received. This should be on a sliding scale. Best of luck. I hope your young.

A cup of `Good morning America'? You guys dont do tea. You don't know what your missing. Coffee wise I like it srong as hell, black as night with a slice of cherry pie.
-
Dean I need to know what machine that was. Did you hire it in or was it your own? Once I have established everything is as it should be and I can't improve on the stability of the machine I trust the technology to take over. From what I understand from this accident I should not trust the technology at all!! Is there anything in retrospect you would have done differently? Other that not using the MEWP obviously.

You havn't had a cup of british workmans tea then. Timed right this beverage is the tears of christ.

Our bicuits (and I really must have nothing to do this afternoon) include Rich Tea, Digestive, Chocolate Digestive, Hob Nob, Custard creams, Bourbon, Jaffa cakes(controversial) nice, crinkle crunch (my fave but do not dunk) Jammy dodgers. We generally have Maryland cookies with choclate chips in packets and bigger cookies from shops specialising in very nice any flavor you want type cookies. [ame] [/ame]
-
Biscuits are flat and are generally sweet. Cookies are also sweet but are rough and curved on top, crackers are savory and not suitable for dunking in tea. What are saltines? sounds like a tinned fish product.

Earl Grey is nice. I like the bergamont flavour but Yorkshire is a king of teas, a similar one is the co op free trade bags and loose in the indigo box. Good strong and robust, a Little heavy on the tannins, but I like it like that.
-
Why don't communists like Earl Grey? Because all proper Tea is theft. Loose tea, in a pot, boiling water, stirred and left to brew for 3 mins. milk in cup (soya for me) first. test colour of tea, must be red. pour. Best enjoyed looking at finished job sitting on stump. Done right, tea is elevated above beer, is it not?

Having some inside knowledge of such things; I can say without a shadow of adoubt that the boy in the film is a. reading from an auto-cue b. The script has been written by the producer. c. The programme's research assistant found the boy and exaggerated his feelings for TV. His thoughts prior to broadcast would have been more moderate, which is `media' for boring. d. The film's contrarian view is designed to entertain and promotes kids to talk about the subject. It's not real. TV is smoke and mirrors. Often kids have inspiring ideas kicked out of them by the process of growing up.

Dean, I've been wanting to ask about your avatar pic. How did that happen? I know it fell over, but what contributing factors were involved. I use mewps quite a bit and pictures like that gives me the willies.

You were born on the sun. 34c plus chainsaw strides is insanity. I wish there were more trees in iceland. -25c beutiful!

I used the Lj for about 3 years before I moved to the VT. I like to climb the tree and not the rope when I can. The Lockjack allows the rope to self tether as you ascend as long as there's enough weight on it. This can work against you when in the top of the crown as you can't pay out any slack for movements away (or dare I say up) from your anchor point. The best thing though is its ability to allow you to drop like a stone, with a big push out you can get out to the end of limbs real quick without having to limb walk. It's a dog clutch, so learning to feather the action can be tricky at first. It's a great bit of kit but very expensive.

Aukland is very cool town. Lots of culture too. Are you a Kiwi? I spent about 3 months on the south island picking apples and getting into trouble about 10 years ago. to get back on topic and avoid troll calling, how hot did it get in summer?

Having spent sometime in NZ I'm very jealous. where abouts are you? What time is it there?
