  1. I was thinking of something more like this.
  2. I am trying to move away from any boots connected to arb and the associated 300% price increase.
  3. I’ve got Salewas, but don’t find them as comfy as the first couple of pairs I had. Need something with a toecap anyway.
  4. A couple of mates and I have a WhatsApp group. My mate got it last night after the pub and I saw his first attempt this morning and couldn’t get it out of my head as we tend to try the same source words. So I basically had a 3 letter head start. A very hollow victory.
  5. BOOM! Wordle 1,029 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  6. Fortunately Mick it’s not mine. My mate made the huge investment a few years back. It is a bit of a game changer on the right jobs. Not suitable for a casual groundie, the man on the bollard needs to know his stuff. @John Shutler and @Rich Rule have way more experience than me, but I doubt either would have negative comments. £3.5k now, a lot of Euros. There are £2k jobs we couldn’t have done without it though. AHHP is a convert as well, but I can’t tag him for some reason.
  7. Got the wife to help. How appropriate. Toughest one yet for me.
  8. Neneneneneneneneneneeh! Wordle 1,028 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  9. Amazing work, but what the utter fuck has it achieved? Roaster customers like that are top of my ‘no’ list. Utter cretins.
  10. Let’s face it, they’re all shit. £250+ for something where the sole ALWAYS falls off within a couple of years. This isn’t a brand bashing thread, I’ve had all the top brands over the years. They are an overpriced gimmick, and contain barely any chainsaw protective material anyway. I’ve had enough. Can anyone recommend some hard wearing, comfy boots with a protective toe cap that look vaguely like chainsaw boots? I’m prepared to spend decent money, just not £250 on more junk.
  11. Today’s joy was winching a collapsed willow pollard out of the moat at Joseph Conrad’s old house. I knew the last lump would be a bastard to get a rope round so I packed my Speedos.
  12. I’m guessing here mate, but the fact that a few of the poles are shared would lead me to say you need at least basic UA tickets. Which will add some zeros to the training bill! Plenty of UA qualified people on here will correct me I’m sure.
  13. My normally 3/4 Irish mate failed today as well. I told him that starting with ‘CUNTY’ probably isn’t the way forward.
  14. BOOM! Wordle 1,027 3/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  15. ‘New reservoir building programme’ box nicely ticked.
  16. Wordle 1,026 5/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟨 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  17. Phew! Wordle 1,025 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟨⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  18. I would say it’s climbable, but as peds has said those laterals would be hell without a MEWP over the roof.
  19. Aye, electricians braid on rope before it goes in, good point.
  20. 40 seconds. Slight improvement on yesterday’s effort of 7 hours. Wordle 1,024 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  21. As above. Non bio on a wool cycle, 30 degrees. Safety first, so best done when the wife is out.
  22. Foreign bullshit. Wordle 1,023 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟨🟨⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟨⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  23. Newcastle Mayfair for the win. Smiths, Pogues, Housemartins (Proclaimers supporting). I’m sure @Mark J can add a few.
