Weight.

Hahahaha! Got to give credit where it’s due John! Really good, fresh looking site. Your content and work isn’t too shabby either!

Those boxes were full of rare hummingbird chicks.

One last reduction before I hang my harness up
Mark Bolam replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Very true. Good businessmen who are bad climbers will do better than good climbers who are bad businessmen. If you're bad at both like me you are in for a hard life. -
That is also a good point VI. If I had £100 I could give him £20 to improve his situation. I could get by with £80 I suppose. I’d be gutted though, because my Grandad and his mates and generations before them gave their lives fighting wars to give me that £100. What did my mate do?

Good point, well made. Easy for me to spout off when it’s unlikely to happen here I suppose. BUT - it is my country. Letting everyone in just because their country is a mess isn’t making mine any better, is it? I wouldn’t burn all my cash just because my mate is skint. That would make us both equally screwed. Who thinks that would be a good idea?

This is dragging on a bit. To me, every country should have a points system like Oz and Canada. Meet the criteria you can go there, if not you can’t. Every country gets to set it’s own criteria. Worldwide. Fair?

Looking at some of these loads I’d say just under 10 million psi.

Where’s that Bill? Haltwhistle way?

It would make sense in the long term for sure, but would the public entertain a 20% price hike overnight?

That’s not really the same is it? It is a Stihl though, so I’ll give you £24k. Stihl means it must be fantastic.

Have you got a link? How much?

You just need to ask yourself - what will the worst thing that could happen be if I wait till the roads are better? The answer is usually f-all. The lads back home in Northumberland are getting hacked off with going out in their tractors to rescue idiots who ‘had an important meeting’ and shite like that. It’s unlikely anyone is towing a trailer load of rare blood for dying orphans. Don’t be part of the problem.

Hahaha, Northumbrian Mick. Like a Geordie with brains.

Good tip that Khriss. I also do it when the diameter slims down at the top if necessary. Truth be told I leave little pegs if the top gets really skinny. Not a nice feeling spiking 4" diameter pecker poles.

The 130 is a 4-mix piece of shit. Nothing but bother. The 56 got me out of trouble and did 3 years hedgecutting without any issues at all. It is plasticky like. When it died I replaced it with the 94 which I'm really happy with. I ran the polesaw head on all of them, but only very occasionally. Never been interested in any other attachments. Cow horns all the way for brushcutting and strimming.

Remember that vid Rich, sweet. Did The BDB ever go into production as such?

Having met Eggs, I can confirm the last bit. ?

March is meant to come in like a lion and go out like a lamb. It’s looking set to come in with a whole pride of the buggers!

Cheers Gray, great find.

Beat me to it Bumble B. Very refreshing to hear someone listen to advice and not say they want £35k PAYE early in their career, blah blah blah. I haven’t got any contacts down there mate, wish I had. I know the corporate giants like Glendale, Ground Control and such aren’t to everyone’s taste, but a stint with them could stand you in good stead in the future.
-
Neither can I to be honest mate. Where are you?

You back on a VT and hitclimber with it Rupe?
