  1. Damn cheek. I would have given you £300 for that lump of Oak Geoff. Without a hole in it.
  2. Did you buy yourself a hangover bro?
  3. You and your bloody Russian obsession. You'll be growing a tache like Stalin next!
  4. Did an hour each way most days for about 5 years. I knew every single place you could pull over for a kip on the way home after that.
  5. Go on Gumpy! Well done to Chrissy, smooth climbing 2nd Joe Harris, and our own Jon Turnbull in 3rd. Top of the tree.
  6. Second that Lorry. Good price on the Cyclone, did you hi-jack a wagonload? I think the key word here is supplement. Protein shakes will never replace a good, balanced diet, but I do find them useful to give that extra top-up when you're working really hard. Don't worry about overdoing it, you just fart the extra stuff out.
  7. So true Drew. I've seen Scott climb shitty willows and stuff working over here, and he makes them look smooth! David, you're right. Je suis tres cool, I can do smooth climbing....
  8. Awesome vid and climb. Reckon the Gump was even smoother than Joe in the first vid. Why is it called Frictionhitchery 2 though, can't find the 1?
  9. Good luck with it Dave. I love Chinese food.
  10. Where is the thread about this? Get in there Gumpy!
  11. Does anyone know anything about the Kona Fire Mountain? Leaning towards that at the mo, popular hire bike and hydraulic disc hardtail for £400.
  12. Another big Airstream fan here. Rich convinced me to give them a go, and they have been awesome. Sole is just starting to peel away at the front, so I'll try and get them glued at the cobblers. Damn good boots.
  13. Robert S has done it Matty, and I think it's working OK for him. I'm going to look into it.
  14. Are you coming to the Weald Woodfair Ian? 16-18 Sept. Very much your bag, much more so than arb shows I reckon.
  15. We're all a kick in the ass off 40 Dave. It just depends how hard the kick is. And which cheek it's on....
  16. I need one of those Deano. And it's got f-all to do with stumps.
  17. Have you seen that quick-tie trick for the TH where you put the twists in first? I'll have a look for it.
  18. Aye, top idea Dave. Martyn, have a chat with the customer, give him a ridiculous £300 quote on paper then get him to ring one of those 'we will beat any quote' tossers.
  19. I'll be home (Hamstreet) till 8.30, then at Tenterden all day. Remember Jonesie doesn't stock Poison Ivy though.
  20. 6) Tell the customer it would make FANTASTIC habitat, and why do they hate the planet so much?
  21. I've always fancied putting a decent vid to Keane's 'Somewhere only we know'. 'I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me.....' Tune.
  22. Shane if you want to stop by and have a clamber on my carbons before you commit just let me know. And the rope of course.
