It’s not just knowing it mate, it’s getting companies who take on big trees knowing that you know it.

Flying round Europe now, just ordered his second Bentley I heard. What’s the craic Big Lad?

@bigtreedon

Hope it’s not too late! Should have done the same myself.
-
Pretty sure he’s a pro who cocked up mate. American, like.
-
I saw that Kev. It must have bust his strop anyway? Who knows, but it would have been ugly. He’s a very, very lucky boy.

I replaced my faultless (till it died!) original 560 with a 550xpg mk2 and love it. So light and nimble running a 15”, reliable, easy starting and power to spare. I’d keep your mk1 as well though, sounds like a good ‘un.

I can’t believe he did a dit, Straight up. About yo pumps and shit.

Dubois is a beast alright. The more people he KO's, the less people will want to fight him, he should slow down a bit!
-
Bloody well done on passing mate. I'd say that the fact that you were prepared to have a crack at it in those circumstances says far more about you as a climber than the actual certificate.
-
Hahaha! Dutchie was a bloody nightmare for hitching a ride on a ton bag! The two young dogs have been out with me more and more recently, although it was a lot easier with one!
-
Just that really mate. Perfect tactics.
-
Or opposing hinges like most down here now.
-
Back on track, are you still there @jmac or did you sort it out?
-
Good heads-up mate, cheers. Couple of ‘Teng’ stickers and that’s my big bro’s present sorted! It would be rude not to pick one up for myself when I’m there....
-
So why didn’t he just walk to the pub?
-
Quite right Jake. I will always have one in the truck.
-
That's brilliant Craig thank you. [email protected] Full list would be great. Is the grapple bucket the most common attachment for arb? I could get away without counterweights with some of the fat knackers I work with!
-
Why are the prices of these things such a closely guarded secret? Dealers could at least advertise an RRP, it wouldn't kill them. @Blake@waveney and @Kipper Hire Ltd, what are we looking at ballpark for the smallest Worky Quad with some kind of grab? Can they be driven up ramps into a truck bed, or do you need a separate trailer?
-
Quite possibly. It's as if someone hasn't thought this through properly.

That’s £25 with the postage Steve, and will be a lot more by the time you add two ropes.
-
Talking about this with Danny Mac today. Seems most of us have been ignoring WAH regs for years. Hypothetically, if you had been taught to climb on single rope by a training provider since 2005, and have had an accident (fall), could you deem them to be liable?

when you think you're good, but you ain't

Seriously mate, heal well and quick. Lesson learned. -
I’m with Eggs, and could happily live without TV, although we have a few. The kids watch a bit, but the wife is a bit like Squaredy describes above. Drives me nuts when she starts ironing and shit in the morning before work pretending she’s some kind of super hardworking exec, when in fact it’s stuff that could easily been done instead of watching Strictly Essex on Ice or some such shite. All my friends know if I go round their house and the TV is on I will simply leave unless we have agreed to watch a film or something. Big sporting occasions like the rugby or football World Cups are obvious exceptions. It’s the height of bad manners to have some old crap numbing everyone’s brain in the background.
