Grandad, can I ask whereabouts in NE Leicestershire you are? Sounds like not too far from my old stomping ground.
-
Bugger! Just ordered my new rigging kit too.

Had a couple of issues over the past 2 weeks. Couldn't even get the arbtalk site to load. The following day was fine then a couple of days later and halfway through browsing it just failed completely and wouldn't load again. I was having withdrawal symptoms. Am I an arbtalk addict? If so, which clinic do I get referred too?

Can second the Skylotec. I also find it easier to find my way around than the treemotion, just not as light.
-
Nice, I like that muchly.
-
Never watched it so have no idea
-
So I'm presuming you're liking the SJ then Adam?
-
Word of mouth by doing a good job each and every time. Beats all other advertising hands down IMO.

We haven't even begun to scratch the surface yet guys, I'm afraid to say. Just wait and see what happens if Israel decides to launch an attack on Iran. The proverbial sure will hit the fan if that happens.

Threads like this restore some faith in human nature. Big thumbs up to all those that were able to help out
-
Woohoo welcome Grandad, looks like we are starting to load up on the oldies. Looking forward to reading the stories from your climbing days.

Don't just wear your poppy but stop and think for a minute and remember what was given by others in order for us to have what we have today. Thanks to all those who have served and are still serving.

I have absolutely no idea what this thread is about but reading some of the replies I am left wondering who wears the pants in some households In this house I own the remote controls but we do have Sky in both the living room and a second hook up in the bedroom just in case The All Blacks clash with Downton Abbey or something.

I don't like any particular genre of music but a whole load of odds and sods. Classical for when I need to calm down, Jazz and swing, 60's 70's and 80's depending on the mood and I'm partial to a bit of metal and rock. Never quite got into thrash and most of what I call jigaboo music which is most of the american pop that seems to dominate the charts these days.

Yeesh, don't think mine ever gets hot embers until after I've gone to bed and when it's turned down through the day with a big chunk of gum on it. The rest of the time it's cranking.

How do you do jacket spud in a wood burner? Scuse me for bein a bit dumb here but ours is purely a wood burner for heating and hot water although we can cook on the top of it but if you put a spud inside it it would last all of a couple of minutes before cremation.

Never had stitches except in places i couldn't get too (gums and nose). Usually I'm a paper towel, bandage and insulation tape man. I've got the scars to prove it too. Spent a lot of time as a troubled youth putting my hands through windows and just let them bleed. The old man was not one for emotion so I basically got told to take a harden up pill if I cut myself and it's rubbed off now in the fact that usually I just let it bleed until it sorts itself out. Went to the kwaks for a chainsaw cut but they couldn't stitch that. If the wife sees me with a bad cut she just panics so no good her playing nursey nursey at home either.

Gents and Ladies; anyone have any pictures of tree guards they use? Please? looking more for big showy surrounds and guards for public spaces etc.

Sure was and the myth was well and truly busted. Fantastic show too.

There's an up side to all the woe in Europe and the US. All my kit is cheap as chips these days as the kiwi dollar is almost level pegging with the green back and about half of the pound. Gone are the days when it stood at a third of the dollar and less than a quarter of the pound. Personally; I'm glad that the UK kept the pound and I think it will hold it in good stead long term. I wish we'd never got wrapped up with Brussels and I think it's done more harm than good but then I've been out of it all for 13 years and am somewhat isolated from the world's financial troubles..

Well, I never got around to making the press but my old man moves over from blighty next week so I might see if I can swindle him into making me one up while he's busy enjoying his retirement. As for the fruit; we have heaps of apple and pear trees all growing wild around the area and I recently did a pruning job in an orchard for part cash and part fruit payment. The owners said they'd dump me a few buckets off when the season kicks in as most of it they can't manage and it goes for pig food. Not sure if I'll be making anymore haw jam though. Gets a bit painful after a while. No sloes around these parts either which is unfortunate for the old fella who's a dab hand at making sloe gin.

Sitting around doing didlysquat and getting paid for it. Sounds good in theory but I'm bored, bored, BORED and also feeling guilty.

I hate single ply and 2 ply toilet paper. Too easy to poke through a finger
-
Extremely talented would be an understatment. Bit like that chap Steven Wiltshire ( I think) who does everything from memory.

in the "some branch walks can be difficult" catagory you can add big ass smooth bark Eucs with no branches for most of the stem and nothing above to crotch in to. Gives me the shivers thinking about it.
