  1. Sweet video Taylor. Sorry if I'm being thick, but what does the rope going through the Impact Block do? Cheers mate. Tom
  2. I have whatever Samsung you can't play Angry Birds on and it is emotionally crippling me.
  3. Samsung. Still can't work it.
  4. Cool. Trippy but very cool.
  5. Cheers fellas. I did see the Lime. Awesome. And there are a few lovely examples of the cut beech dotted around. There were some massive beeches Tony. Most were too big to get into a shot that would do them justice. Couldn't get far enough back to get a sense of scale hence why Mrs Tommy_B had to stand in front of a couple. It really is worth a visit.
  6. There were some beauties there. The Handkerchief tree was impressive. Picture didn't really do it justice. Mrs Tommy_B thinks I might be a be odd as I saw a Coronet cut and jumped up and down going "OOhh, One for Monkey-D" then ran off to take pictures!! haha!!
  7. Don't know if anyone would be interested but me and Mrs Tommy_B went to Batsford Arboretum for a look around and took a few pictures. Some really nice trees and a lovely day for it. Enjoy.
  8. RIP Sad news
  9. Awesome work Simon.
  10. No problems mate. You can be part of the Wedding party. Your main duties will be keeping an eye on Plippy the Page Boy, making sure he doesn't get tongue marks on the windows of the horse drawn carriage.
  11. That's it. I've cooked a BBQ, Drunk a couple of bottles of wine and I'm going to hop on the train and attempt to squire Kate's sister. Wish me luck gents.
  12. I'm with you now. Think I was having a bit of a mental block. (PS, I agree with Rupe, Get a hitchclimber!! haha!!)
  13. Browning do show up. I've been watching it online. Cause I'm sad.
  14. Maybe I'm being thick Toprotter, but what purpose does the small cord serve? You could have the same effect with the VT set up normally and just the sleeved part on or off depending on the length you require? Or am I missing something?
  15. Sorry to hear this mate. Hope you can sort something out.
  16. The principle is the same but its done with a little ropeman ascender and a vt with the rope going through a revolver clipped to your harness and back up to the bottom of the hitchclimber. The rope man keeps the VT still and means that it can be moved nearer of further to you in much the same way as in your video. Tom
  17. That works the same as the O rig system then? Looks like it. Interesting video.
  18. Great video mate. Seriously good choice of song as well.
  19. Steve, Who do we contact to get prizes?
  20. Happy Birthday mate.
  21. Where abouts is it? If I can persuade the Mrs to let me out, I'll definitely come out for an evening to take the piss out of Plippy. haha
  22. Drive round, Find the first BT man with a bucket truck, slip him £50 and get him to go to job with you. Hop in the bucket, Piece it down, If you break a wire, slip aforementioned BT man another £50 to mend it, get paid, go down pub with new BT friend and be a hero. Let us know how you get on.
  23. Hahahaha!!! Good job he doesn't play in Goal!! haha
