  1. I've got a new back on my Transit which I'm very pleased with. It does, however, seem to retain water a bit more than the old one. Are there any implications to the ram etc. just leaving it slightly tipped when parked up? Comments from both hydraulic experts and timewasters welcome. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. Nor me Rich. Try and ping me a tester if you want, I'll square you up for yesterday on Saturday. Don't forget to send that postcode. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. He was revving it coming through customs. I tried to tell him. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  4. You lot are banging on about warranties, service intervals, anvils and crap like that and Stu has put up a pic of his Greenmech which has a CIDER HOLDER! It also appears to have a coat hook next to it, I'm presuming that is for women to hang their knickers on. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  5. Or indeed, people! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  6. Spot on Dan. I had some dog crap to clear off the lawn late last night and I was pretty surprised Jeremy didn't show up to offer his solidarity. He's about as genuine as Bono. Mark J you seem like one of the most intelligent lads in here, your support for him surprises me. I'm no fan of May either, before you start Eggs. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  7. That is true Felix, but I can't help noticing you're more likely to be dealt a good one the harder you are prepared to graft. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  8. Check out Dilz 'Pruning Boots' thread in Climbers Talk Ewan, there's a few ideas in there. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  9. Deep narrow gob and pull line. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  10. I totally disagree Tim. A Humboldt isn't a cut I'd use to jump a log of the stump at all.. It's a timber preserving cut used by men with grey slip on shoes, and me up a pole to slide sections off smoothly, but it's not a fence jumper. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  11. That's probably more to do with bigger target area than colour mate. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  12. Weirdly they are the fastest insect on the planet! Honestly! They are proper bastards, I too come up like egg yolks, can last more than a week. They're like tigers and Joe Newton, they prefer to attack from the rear. Nearly every bite I've had has been back, triceps or calf. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  13. Hahahaha! Mick's getting a pint if I ever bump into him. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  14. Don't believe everything you read in the papers mate! I can quite believe it, like. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  15. Sun's out guns out. Nice rigging Sir.
  16. I just go with what brings me most personal happiness mate. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. Step in the right direction Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  18. You've changed since I first met you in those toilets. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. This is worth remembering. It's why I toss myself senseless nearly every day. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  20. Stubby yours would cost a fortune to replace. Stonemasons charge big bucks these days. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  21. To be fair Brett a lot of Mercans favour (or indeed favor) high quality plugs over muffs. WHICH MAY BE WHY THEY TALK SO GODDAMNED LOUD? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  22. That's a short greenhouse or a brave dog! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  23. Welcome to the world of politics Mark. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. The birds nest one you do the right thing and take the hit. It helps if you have a few little homers you have ready to rock so you can salvage the day a bit. Weather is a tricky one. I appreciate you run a much bigger operation than me, so have to schedule things in advance much more. I tend to let people know what week we'll be there and firm it up as we go, picking jobs to suit the forecast. Mick's right though, you always take the hit yourself, there's no other way.
