Think that was Simon O'Rouke

Got to the queue at 1030. Was already about 100ft deep at least. I swore then realised that the queue to buy on the gate was literally 3 people. We went through in 5 minutes. Failing to plan ahead has finally paid off!

I'll be sadder when Attenborough goes to be honest. The Queen has very little impact on me

@Joe Newton has just phoned me to say that he will push you round if needed mate

What colour vest are you going to wear? I don't want to wear the same and look stupid

Just the Friday for me I think

The Day we caught the train was my go-to 12 Pints then lets murder this down the Microphone whenever my mates would be playing live. The whole of that Mosely shoals album is decent to be fair. Proper nostalgia for me

What’s the most comfortable tree climbing spikes?

Anything Treehog is guaranteed to be pretty much rubbish and aimed at people who haven't used enough gear to know that it isn't much cop -
5 Tips for progressing your arb career after 30...

That Jonny B is certainly a handsome chap! -
I think the publication part is the problem. If I got Arb climber to publish a photo of me one handing a chainsaw with a pair of trainers on and a fag on the go, that is the publication endorsing it. By definition, if its in the magazine, it has to be stood by. Or if the AA won't stand by it, that begs the question "Why publish something that you don't believe in?"

Literally the exact opposite of what I find!

Imagine having to live next door to that whopper

My mate recently gave himself a handlebar hernia. Crashed into something and shot forward into his handlebar stem and gave himself a hernia

I remember advertising a truck years ago and the minute the advert went live, the phone didn't stop with people offering 50%. Drove me mental

Best (cheap) attachments for Tuefelburger Evo treemotion harness?
Tommy_B replied to redmotive's topic in General chat
Ah. Was going to say I'd always avoid getting secondhand kit from ebay where possible as you don't have the background on what work or life it has had. If you were nearer I would have said to pop round and you could try some different climbing equipment to see what suits you and your style of climbing -

Where are you based? -
What is the difference between this and the EVO? Its got one less bridge and is 80 quid more?

There wasn't a lot of glamour, I'll give you that

Is that the same truck you were camping under at one of Jonesies shows?

What taper did you use? I copied Nick Araya's method and it held the braid together nicely. You take 6 bottom strands on the left on adjacent strands, then 6 top strands on the left strands, then 6 bottom right and then 6 top right. Removes 50% of the cover strands and holds it together nicely. From memory, I think the hardest part was getting the core out!

Haha. You're a better man than me then!! I found it horrible to splice (admitedly it was used) and would have no end of bother with my forearms and elbows if I climbed on it DRT

I've posted mine in the other thread I think. Still think this isn't great. Looks a bit like they've got an ostrich head hanging off the harness instead of a saw

I love the composition. No-one can say that hasn't been done by an artist.
