  1. I would say thats confusing skill with intelligence. You could say Albert Einstein was a very intelligent man but was he a skilled physicist? I doubt Diego Maradona had a very high IQ but no one could doubt his skill on the football field. Doctors, architects, lawyers etc dont just need A levels and degrees because they need them for there job they need them so it can cut down the massive amount of people who want to do those jobs because they are highly paid. The higher a demand for a certain type of you the higher the academic results required.
  2. Pfft loads of you dont arf have rubbish scores. No wonder most of you think theres no skill in the job:lol: Besides its too difficult to score against those 3 since.. 1. Who is Graeme? 2. Steve uses photoshop on his pics(I know he asks me to touch them up but dont tell any one) 3. Monkeyd just googles everything! In a real world situation I would score myself thus 1. 8 for dismantles, 99% come down just as planned in the time frame we set. 2. 8 for reductions as not had any complaints yet. 3.8 for idents as I more or less guess right most times on the general stuff we deal with. So an overall 8 Always room for plenty of improvement but tbh I would hope I could achieve the above after 15 years of work. I have seen plenty of climbers in RL and more than enough evidence of pics and vids on here to show that there are more than enough better climbers than me.
  3. I think, it was around the £60ish mark.
  4. Ok here goes.... 9.83333333333 I really need to brush up on my idents:blushing: I feel like such a loser.
  5. A bit of a dilemma over the ident bit, can we use half points?
  6. Lol is funny. Although you could be buying £20 worth of utter crap!
  7. Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM tablets plus cod liver oil helps me with wrist, elbow, knee and hip probs. Didnt work overnight but then realised that I didnt have as much pain as usual.
  8. Why break with tradition? I dont like change.
  9. Have I logged onto an American wrestler forum by mistake:confused1:
  10. Cheers for the link:thumbup1: Looks like its the kind of thing to have knocking about the workshop as it probably has quite a few uses.
  11. How many of these kits are people going to buy though? Just one and keep it out on site or several to keep in truck and back at workshop etc. Personally Ive prob got about 6 'normal' kits knocking about. One in each climbing kit, one in workshop and a couple in the truck. Each climber has a personal kit with celox in it and also some celox in main truck kit. Better to have lots knocking about than one large one imo.
  12. They have a 'no stress' feed control system which is the same for most modern machines. They are way way better than the old ones.
  13. Looks good:thumbup1: Is it specialist stuff and if so where ya get it just for future reference. Or did you nick the missus old chopping board.
  14. Find out what neighbour is feeding the pidgeons and shoot them instead. Failing that I would go for the cat idea.
  15. Nope your opinion is just wrong and I'll stand by that.
  16. He he there must be smoke pouring from Hama's ear muffs. Anyway I've had a good long hard think about this thread and weighed up all the options, opinions and comments. I've come to the conclusion that my opinion is the best. God knows what it is though:confused1:
  17. Daldinia concentrica King Alfreds cakes, Cramp balls I think hoof fungus(Fomes fomentarius) is used to light fires or carry them, ie they also smolder for a long time so Mr cave man used them to keep fires going or carry fire with him. I think..
  18. You need to find out what wood it was mate! There are plenty of women out there who would pay good money to have lips like that.
  19. Should be interesting, I would like to see how they do it though!
  20. No biomass recycling places around there then? Thats were all our rotted no good wood goes.
  21. Looks like a nice big splippery limb that one! Its sure gonna do some damage to the building when you lob it off in one.
  22. As above but I also keep my thumb partially over the circlip while pushing the other side in so if it does spring out it doesnt fly across the workshop never to be seen again!
  23. Razor strop fungus
  24. As the great man Ernest moss says. "Safety first, fun last" [ATTACH]33296[/ATTACH]
  25. Doesnt say that on the back of the packet iirc.
