Is that for everyone Steve, or just Land Rover owners?
-
Success!

Let’s cross that bridge when we come to it mate. I used to watch Tomorrows World. Im still waiting for my space boots.
-
Safety first B. The steel wire ones last best.
-
Sounds like Arborisk need to up their game. Renewal time approaching for me. I might ask about my 200T. ’Market value’ is probably more than I paid for it new!

How about if you do f-all you get f-all? 40 hours a week picking up plastic to get your Giro instead of watching Sky and smoking Mayfairs might be motivational.

It took 3 months to cremate him.

The asbestosis thing is a bit harsh Mick, my Grandad died of it.
-
Say nowt. I reckon he’s an HSE spy.
-
Good point Al. The acronyms do get a bit blurred. I’ve climbed on two lines about twice in my entire career. Anyone else?
-
That’s the way I see it Khriss. I demonstrated it to my boss years ago, and the miserable old bastard eventually agreed. I’m self-employed.

Just mentioning in my RA that I don’t want my elbows to fall apart again does it for me.
-
Nice one bumble B. I wonder if anyone from HSE has read the tennis elbow threads in here?
-
While you're on, ask them if they will pay for the physio and cortisone jabs when your elbows are totally shot from yarking your way up a rope at half the speed.

It is twice as dangerous, obviously.
-
Stick your pic up from the Today’s Job thread Mike. That should grab some attention!
-
I guessed it wasn’t on an estate just outside Ashford! I was just about to ask where, cheers.
-
Wow! Beats my Christmas lights Mike!
-
I disagree Matelot. I saw a party political broadcast by the Labour Party last night and I was pissing myself.
-
But you didn’t have to deal with Christmas lights?
-
Also looked at a very messy cabbage palm to take down. I’ve had no joy chipping them in the past, and I’m struggling to back the truck right up to the fire because it’s so wet. Any tips?
-
Cedar, sorry.
-
This morning’s fun. Spruce takedown festooned with years and years worth of Christmas lights. Spot the bolt croppers.
-
I discuss it at quote stage Bob, it’s often part of when domestics want the job doing. The only thing I get on credit is my mortgage, it’s pay on the day for me for everything else. Seems to work well for most people. I’m not selling an overpriced settee in a ‘biggest sale ever’.

Appearance obviously isn’t deceptive then Mick.
