    I'll take in on board mate. My ideal height is 14 foot.

    Ditto above. Are you sure you need a 120cc saw with a 48" bar Jon? You can get one of those cock pumps for about £25.

    I'm hearin' ya Yeti. I look a bodybuilder, mind. From the neck up.

    Apart from that it is overthinned.

    You should have parked in two spaces and paid for two tickets. If you were that fat you needed two seats on a plane would you only expect to pay for one? It is discriminatory, but life isn't always fair. Plus it serves you right for going to the MC, ya charver!

    BMI is a load of bollocks. Every member of Englands 2003 World Cup winning squad was clinically obese according to BMI. It can't differentiate between muscle and fat.

    Very true Paul. Loads of bodybuilder types are useless at real graft because they can only lift in straight lines. When you combine hard graft and weights, you create beasts. Like us.

    Thats a genius idea Barrington. Job creation with one guy strimming and another walking beside him with a guard. With a few more guys like you around we could solve the unemployment problem and have the country ship-shape again in no time!

    Entertaining stuff as ever Dan!

    I would have them executed in front of their families.

    I drink Stella or red wine most nights, eat mostly red meat and fat, smoke reefer occasionally and only eat nuts or fruit when I run out of chocolate and crisps. Sorry, I read 'healthy' as 'happy'!

    Noone ever orders twice from me. My logs are overpriced and shite.

    How so James?

    Thread. Done.

    Great fight. I never liked Benn as a person much, but I always respected his cojones. To get in the ring with the G-Man back then took some guts, he was a nasty, dangerous guy. Tragic ending, and as said, the blame game continues.

    Last two winters I've been snowboarding down here! They were exceptional though, usually just get a dusting. Wet grass and gateways with a thin layer of mud where you just end up wheelspinning on top are why I'd get them. I think any serious mud in a Transit and you going to get stuck whatever boots you have on. The roads can get very icy down here as well, because KCC are not geared up for gritting much. I normally pay about £60/tyre for Hankooks, so and extra £50 sounds worth a go to me.

    That's true. The fronts wear quicker on mine, so I could keep the old rears to replace the fronts twice. Genius!

    I do a fair bit, but it's my call. If I can crash a huge limb out in a oner, I will, but I'm happy to jump down and help deal with it (and have a sneaky brew!). I always like to have a couple of minutes at least and a swig of water when I come down before getting stuck in.

    The MPC's look good Tom, and they have them in my size, 185 75 R16. £72 each. £432 all round. I'd be interested to know how they wear.

    Someone who knows when not to climb.

    Can I get off the step yet? I'm bursting....
  24. Mark Bolam
    After last years snow I thought about getting a decent set of AT's, but couldn't find anything in the size (185/15). I've pretty much decided I would end up getting stuck more often, not less if I did find some because I would start pushing the truck into riskier places!

    The last time intellectual banter was this oppressed was in Pol Pots Cambodia!
