    I tried it something similar once Dean, but as Peter says, I wasn't happy with the lateral forces in the adjacent heads when the line was tensioned (they nearly ended up touching!). Reg Coates blocked down a big Ash by lowering 3/4 discs which he had screwed eyes into. There's a vid on here somewhere. Very effective, if time consuming. What's wrong with the decent crash mat / Dead-eye-Dick-with-the-discs option?

    You know! Sorry for the derail Shane. You should be proud of yourself mate.

    Yes mate. Mind you, his name was Trevor.

    Mozza's right. I would cry if I looked in my bag and my Ropeguide was missing.

    Matty it must be like seeing a bird down the pub that you dumped because she became a fat scruffy minger but a few months later shes been to the gym loads, got a new tan, haircut and clothes and looks reeeeaaaaal hot! Gutted!

    My thoughts on this practice, and the words I would use to describe them, have no place on this fine website.

    I think anyone, of any age or sex, would be sent over the edge if Josh turned them down...

    Nice V's Hadders. You look like one of them professional tree surgeons, you do.

    Breathing heavily, grunting, and asking what they are wearing is always a good laugh with these callers.

    Bit of progress on this job in the last few weeks. Zipline? Clothesline? Lifeline? The end of the line? Go on lads!!!!!!!

    Crikey Tone, you do love a challenge! Whatever you get will be the right dog, because I know you will put the effort and love into it. Happy searching!

    Bad policing. They should have shot him.

    Does that work with women Dean?

    I always leave it to the pros to work on my saws. I'm thinking of extending this to cutting bits of wood with them....

    Monkey Boy, I think the idea is to ask for peoples opinions first, then buy afterwards? There are a lot of different Stein lids, which did you get? All is not lost, anyway. They are certainly a lot more comfy than a lot out there.

    Phoenix. Great job mate.

    Grafting for Mick Stockbridge today. His 'stunt fell' may have been slightly misguided, considering how much wine he was knocking back....

    Thanks a lot Justin and team! Spent too much, drank too much, danced too much, talked too much. What a great weekend!

    Thanks for that Nick. Good to meet you Tone. The memories are a little blurry.... Arm wrestling? For Gods sake....
