  1. Ashford is next to me Al. Shame, I could have let you test the bucket shovelling some crud up at my yard. By Christ I bet the snowplough was in good nick!
  2. Too right! I always insist on payment up front as well.
  3. I have no idea. I'm usually too busy marching them off down the post office.
  4. Don't you offer 'crowning'? You need to catch up mate,
  5. Did you take that rent boy job in the end then?
  6. I'd lob a handful of bread onto the roof every night. The bird crap will soon put him off.
  7. Cracking mate. Some top-notch accuracy with the freefall stuff, and top photo-bombing! Nice lizard.
  8. That's about £30k a year. Not many trades offer 'fully qualified' status after a 10 week course. How many other trades log onto a website like this? Can you imagine plumbers posting vids of 'Today's best tap washer fix'? It's a unique job. It's just unfortunate the money is crap.
  9. Don't do it Jimbob, you'd put yourself out of a job! Duuuuurrrr!!!
  10. I never said it was comfortable. It isn't. I could probably hang my truck off them though. Probably bad for your innards as well, but I'm typing this in between necking a can and cooking a curry, so they're used to abuse.
  11. Nice. Bet you're having a beer tonight John.
  12. I'll happily hang off any point of my harness mate, the tree is more likely to break first. Don't clip into a Caritool though. That hurts your back.
  13. 😂😂😂😂😂 I think we are on the same page mate, but you put it so much better than me!
  14. Why do people think we should command more money than doctors? It's only at the really top end of arb that it changes, doing stuff like Reg and August most days. We choose to do it. If the money is better elsewhere, go elsewhere. I would love to see the industry being more valued, but it isn't likely to happen.
  15. Fixed. Seriously if it's not FUBAR'd I'll buy it off you.
  16. Rich is whoring himself in Norway mate. He couldn't handle the South London winter anymore.
  17. They do make cracking ropes don't they? My Portland Braid has had some hammer and keeps going, and my old XTC climbing line has been hideously abused after I retired it, and just refuses to die.
  18. Spotted. Don't think about leaving the country please Sir. Oh....
