Pretty, good. Look to have a fair amount of snow only fallen on the roof beneath the palm trees though?? Nowhere near as much fun as here though is it.

ooops forgot to email them logos to you mate. Sorry.

Heres some of the East Riding.

Sorry to lay this on you John..... I watched the show on bbc iPlayer and it was really interesting to see just how tame the Robin was in video rather than just photos. However, I did notice that you seem to have no reverse lights on your Disco. Were you aware of this or was it camera trickery and angles???? haha

Mmmmm chicken tikka or chilly con carni"

Yes, but I shouldn't have to.

The music was my wifes choice. I wanted to use AFI or At the drive in but YouTube wouldn't let me. Haha

Thanks scotspine1. I tried really hard.

In an emergency, a klemheist is quicker and easier to tie. Sorry. Haha. The prussik knot is only more usefull if it is to go both ways.

The stein quest Gtx are the best boots ever invented when used in conjunction with climbing spikes.

Are you saying the music didn't fit? As I spent ages trying to get the clips to change at exact moments etc??? I was quite happy with " the fit".

Yeah, cheers for that Scotspine1. I know what you mean about music. I also agree about widescreen. You may have noticed that I didn't actually film most of it and it was done on my mobile phone. Always forget which way to hold it. Haha.

Thats a cheap starting bid isnt it??? Its got hardly any miles on for a truck like that. Looks good.

well.... grammatically speaking, Whats The Fuss is wrong with the one show? doesnt make sense at all. Hopefully Mick wont see this.

A couple of things. Firstly from the thread title and the way it was worded, I assumed he was the young lad (apprentice) on your books and I felt sorry for him. I thought how I would feel after being given some basic training for something, then being asked to do something alot bigger and then stuffing it up resulting in an angry boss and loads of strangers laughing about me on the internet, wether I was named personally or not. I would know it was me they were ripping. Second point is, now I realise he is self employed and mascarading as a "tree surgeon", I wholeheartedly agree with you as to why you felt the way you did. Thirdly, this backs up my argument about NPTC's being like a provisional license allowing you to then go off and be trained / prepared for a proper test or qualification. I agree. Fourthly, Please, please, please do not think you shouldnt share. Your opinion and thoughts are as valuable as anyone elses. The fact you say you are frustrated means that you care. That can only be a good thing for this forum and the industry.

I was jesting with you.:001_tt2:

Ok, with all the snow i havent been out filming so the new deadline is January 12th. Spank you very much.

WTF is allowed. I say so. It is common practise and accepted in modern society. I thank you.

I would sit and have a chat with him in private, If he was keen I would give him extra tuition and time spent helping him learn. I certainly wouldnt be putting pictures of his incompetence on the internet for random strangers to have a right good laugh at. Unless he has seen the funny side and given permission.

how exactly could you forget a prussik??? When and how will a prussik get me out of trouble???

Can he see the funny side of your ribbing???

When do things like this happen further north? Obviously i realise we dont have Kew. How do we keep up to date with these things, apart from on here of course??

V.t with hitchclimber. Currently running 11mm blaze with 8mm roblon friction cord. Got the length absolutely perfect. It never fails. I agree though, climb all manner of trees before switching techniques.

I noticed that. They were only classed as "emergency crew" because they were LA and it was a Saturday. Haha

Did he give you a cuddle when you were feeling down? Haha It's things like this that make this forum and in some respects this whole industry amazing.
