    They should pay everyone £300 a day and go to Butlins, the bastards. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. You can lead a horse to water.... Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. Why no sapwood cut? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  4. You win Takjaa. Fair play mate! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  5. Why no sapwood cut? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  6. You're a real bunch of bastards. I will never play rugby or football or get to box with my son because I'm an older dad. Possibly because I only have 3 daughters, like. But there you go. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  7. You is all hatin'. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  8. I hear you Matt. I used a clasp, Physio, ice packs, anti inflams, and rest when possible. Most importantly I ditched the things that were causing it. The injection was the final piece in the jigsaw for me. Pretty much a last resort, though, and not a great idea to have many. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  9. This one? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  10. Worked very well on my elbow, but you need to get on top of what initially caused it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  11. Good thread Tom, I'll be following it with interest. I've fancied a Nao for a while but my old Tikka is still going strong. Sounds like a totally different beast though. Also worth mentioning gadgets to avoid. Don't buy your kids the flashing submersible disco light show from Firebox. It's not waterproof, which the batteries didn't like. They did refund me promptly though. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  12. Superb. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  13. Back cut too high, undercut on Humboldt is wonky. You're lucky you're still alive. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  14. [emoji106] Tell your lads we'll be in The Woolpack at Warehorne tomorrow at dark o'clock. It's about 5 minutes from the Rare Breeds. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  15. Try the Rare Breeds Centre at Woodchurch mate, about 5 miles from Tenterden. They were after loads of chip for their Christmas grotto. 01233 861493.
  16. Darrin is more into 1D than ID. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. Don't tell him Pike! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  18. It's maniacs like you who are ruining the countryside with their dangerous antics. I bet you didn't even have any walking poles. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. Gnarly tree Don. I bet that top left head was fun! Sweet rope running. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  20. For me one handing is a tool in the armoury. If you need to do it, you need to do it well, and think every cut through. I've seen enough lads with burst left forearms to make me think it through. Quicker? They weren't very quick with their arm in a tendon cast for months. I've seen lads who literally couldn't stop doing it, every single cut. Even free fall, hold with left, cut with right, throw vertically downwards into a totally clear drop zone. Mental. There's also the repetitive strain aspect. If you cut and hold all day every day tennis elbow will be in the post, and that's a bastard. Good thread. Anything that makes us think about how we could work a bit more safely whilst still being productive has got to be a positive thing. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  21. I reckon I could if you'd layed me on on my back after I read one when I was about 13. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  22. That reminds me of my introduction to porn -Littlewoods catalogue lingerie pages. Happy memories! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  23. RIP Andrew. Realising he was 86 made me feel pretty old. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. I really hate it when the lads bugger me unconscious, sell my chipper in a pub car park, burn my truck out and steal all my saws. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
