    130 mot

    if i hear a squeek or rattle it gets fixed, that way the mots are always a doddle, i always have my road tax and mot expiring at different times though
  2. ive recently bought the 12mm Marlow bull rope (50m) from jonesie its cheap as chips and has performed very well.
  3. Great choice mick it cracked me up as well, the bit that ended me was when the brother said he was "training to be a cage fighter" so many to choose from, life of brian still does it for me and i must have seen it 100 times:thumbup1:
  4. Fair points martyn, what age are you mate? i know i feel a difference from when i was 35 to now nearlly 45. my injuries dont heal as quick i find i have to strech lots more to have less flexability than i had 10 year ago, but as for climbing i am lucky that i work for myself and can price the job to take into account the speed i go at, i dont think i could climb for another company commercially. but that might be just me.
  5. that stuff looks great, how are the legs on the bench secured? and whats the size width of the bench? thanks
  6. Mat is a really nice guy, are you going to Ayr or Lanark? good luck with it
  7. What he said....
  8. Typical, easy target = easy shift i dont see them pulling out 20 year old chavs in there rangerovers when everyone knows drug money bought the car, a bunch of bullies drunk on power.
  9. Nice one dean i could have used one of them a couple of weeks ago, whats the model and where did you get it?
  10. Brilliant
  11. Sorry to hear that matty its getting you cant lay a saw down:thumbdown: hope you get it back mate.

  14. i will echo Andys comments guys and this site just gets better and better
  15. :lol: thats your easy night up in smoke then steve.
  16. send him the money in tenners and send him to the lap dancers, that would cheer him right up I think it may be better to ask the guy what he wants, if he wants kit thats a great gesture of giving him it cost price justin, but if he wants to spend more time with his kids give him the cash to spend it on them. As long as he is getting better im well pleased for him
  17. What of me slipping on a banana skin or the hitch? i dont have a picture but here is a link to it on the forum scroll down to monkey-d post. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/climbers-talk/10909-what-friction-hitch-you-3.html
  18. well done on the job mate and did you get your passport stamped??
  19. stood on a banana skin once i nearly broke my hip (being a bit older too) climbed on a split tail blake hitch for years then went on to a vt hitch climber about a year ago was really strange to start with but once you get the hang of it its great, i would say though that i dont use a vt anymore i use a howard hitch i like it better i also use a standard cambium saver.
  20. i was in it a couple of years ago but it was never great so left, but yes they sent the skirts along to get your add.
  21. i think you are right skyhuck possible more than the picture thread?
  22. thats quite a lot of blinks simon is there something in your eyes?
  23. Delivered my unfinfinished kit car and collected the money (could not find the time to finish it) typed up some quotes then went out for a couple of hours to help a mate bolt together his new ag shed. Had a sunday dinner with the family and done a bit tiddying up around the garden, now sitting here chilling.
  24. Machines then men to work them on minimal wage, i could then wander round tescos after getting a full breakfast in the cafe' You take your money and make your choices, as huck says tesco is successfull because they offer a service that most want. You can moan about how they seem to be taking over in some sinister master plan all you want but at 3am when you need some calpol for a crying kid they are a god send:thumbup:
  25. Simon that hinge one is well cool
