    That’s what I’m hoping. In my upstairs built in wardrobe, behind my dirty pants basket and hanging gimp suits will surely help.

    Shotgun mate. I spoke to the firearms officer about the shite quality of modern houses last time I fitted a cabinet. Concealment also helps, as does siting it so you can’t lever it easily. Ratman, the floor isn’t worth fixing to, it’s going upstairs. I’m cutting it fine for renewal anyway, and now I can’t find the bloody passport photos I had done this morning. In which I look like an unshaven criminal psychopath.

    They aren’t allowed to stipulate that. Anyway, I’m not moving again!

    Cheers lads, 14mm it is. Dumper it’s to fix a gun cabinet in a typical crappy papier-mâché new build. I’d rather not go into external brickwork.

    I need to fix 4 10mm bolts (threaded bar actually) into a thermalite block wall. I was going to drill 12mm holes but my mate said to go bigger as the holes won’t hold enough resin. How big should I go? Thanks.

    Not at all, Kipchoge.

    The story fell apart at ‘morning run’ for me.

    Thanks Edward, that makes a lot more sense to me now. ?

    Hi Ben, Can't help with the job, but I know Liphook fairly well, my wife's Granny lives there. Nice place with some cracking trees. Some of the Redwoods there are getting quite a size. Should be an attractive proposition for someone.

    Feel your pain mate, but it's still not Jonesie's fault, is it? I'd definitely be trying to rip DPD a new one, though.

    Can't that turn into a legal ballache quite quickly though?

    Apart from the obvious, overhanging limbs, surely the owner has the right to decide whether their trees are worked on or not?

    I didn't realise anyone could apply to fell a TPO'd tree, regardless of what the owner of the tree thinks or wants. Sad day when you learn nothing!

    FWIW I'd be more than happy to pay £70/day for that machine.

    Tell him to get a digger then. It's your machine, you set the price, not the client. (Basically I'm telling him to shove it).

    Bloody is an important word here.

    Nice zipline Jonny. Where was that?
  20. Mark Bolam
    It can, I suppose. The 3A one definitely looks a bit neater. I haven't tried it so I don't know how ergonomic it is compared to the HAAS Velox. The progress capture on that is great. I've recently used it on double rope when the tree doesn't justify SRT (because I'm old and lazy) and it works just as well, albeit half the speed.

    Just nicked this off the Gustharts site mate. I use a separate foot loop on my climbing boots or clip into the strap over the laces on my Andrews. When not in use I clip the dog clip to a tool loop on the leg loop of my harness.
  22. Mark Bolam
    You can leave the HAAS in place as well you know.
  23. Mark Bolam
    It would be great on Robot Wars J.

    Are any of the usual pickup manufacturers looking at petrol engines? It's pretty obvious the government now hate diesels, and Christ it's getting expensive! Surely a petrol engine could solve a lot of issues.
