Pretty much nailed it two posts in to my mind fellas!

I make you wrong on this one Eggs my old mate. Dave is spot on. We aren’t talking families from war torn countries here, a massive percentage are young Albanian males. They need shipping back, sharpish. Apparently plans are afoot to change the rules within the next week or so. Illegals will be housed in old Pontins camps rather than hotels. That will learn them!

That all depends on the size and condition of your willy and how well you can wave it.

It’s not a pissing contest mate. I’ve winged it for a bit on 30’ trees for a while, but I wouldn’t use it on anything where I got disco leg. Which is just stupid, because I’d be just as dead. I’ll PM you a pic next time it’s out. Please don’t post a pic of your flip line.

Again? We aren’t talking a ‘would this pass Loler’ question here Alex. It’s 50% FUBAR’d, and I shouldn’t be climbing on it.

That’s interesting mate. I’m currently on Flow for double with the ZZ and really like it. The hi-viz orange is a great colour in the tree, probably stands out more than the Atrax colours. I’ve got an annoying nick about 8m from the splice. It needs retiring to tag line duties really.

Seems a little harsh….. although possibly accurate.

As in mutilation? -
I’m following this with interest Al, I need a new rope for double as well. Atrax sounds great, need to feel it in my hand first.

Bisexual.

This seems pretty good.
-
It’s great for lighter climbers.
-
I noticed that as well. Weird. Neither of us are schizophrenic.

I don’t even pretend to understand it. I wonder if Elon Musk knows that when I was a lad, Twitter was the bit between the twat and the shitter?

2 rope climbing are we sticking to the rules

😂😂😂😂 Gold! -
Like Dan says above. I’d buy a few metres of 8mm Beeline and have a play.

We’ve filled my Transit with a Bandit 90 hundreds of times. I didn’t realise the chips were bouncing out.

I can’t remember really mate, my memory isn’t what it once was. Looking forward to seeing you again, I’ve remembered some great stories from when I was in the trenches. -

I think you are misunderstanding the meaning of SRT, but I get your drift. You keep on doing what’s safe mate. You’ve got the rest of your career to decide what’s best. -
Will a lot of small domestic tree firms go bust?
Mark Bolam replied to Clutchy's topic in General chat
I’m not against finance at all, but having everything on tick wouldn’t sit well with me at all. -
Saw this in Waterstones yesterday and thought it looked pretty good. Has anyone read it yet? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tree-Thieves-Crime-Survival-Woods/dp/1529331099

I suppose it’s not a funny subject though. She is a vile, ignorant racist, and the fact that she is an MP is far from funny.
-
Seems a bit harsh Tim. I read it as he was sort of agreeing with you, but just trying to inject a bit of humour.

Is it possible to get wood for logs
Mark Bolam replied to modestas's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Too far htb, too far! -
FFS. They’ll be giving women the vote next.

Who cares? The bottom line is how much cash ends up in your pocket.
