Anyone used commercial body builders based out of bilston?
Mick Stockbridge replied to orang utah's topic in Arb-Trucks
No I dont know him from Adam but as an example I have a major problem at the mo and forgot all about pricing a job today for a regular customer and they rang to find out where I was. I explained my predicament and they were fine about it. So what I am saying is dont be too hasty to judge people as there is usually a good reason if they are worth their salt. -

Give the bloke a chance, maybe he's busy cos he's good at what he does. We all fall behind sometimes. -
Shock horror!!!!!! It's Andy in a bloody dress...........you've slipped up and let the cat out the bag Andy.........crossdresser.

Wierd......freaky almost.

I'm taking down my ferret run soon, they've pissed n **** all over it so it looks Moroccan to me and the smell will add a little ambience. Mmmmm that musky Moroccan smell.......

I've got a portaloo but there is no way I'm gonna let you lot use it after a night on the beer.. Count me out on the loo hire.

One poxy spud does'nt constitute a 'stove cooked dinner'. Where's the bloody protein?
-
:lol:Neither have I.

Yeah I do mind, obviously the fella that fell hadnt practised with it and now people are put off from using it and so they'll carry on climbing on out of date methods. Pure madness imo. When I switched over I went out on my own on Sunday mornings and got used to it without any pressure on me to 'get the job done' and now I would never go back to prussiking. Oh well, let em get on with it.

This thread is getting a bit ridiculous! Anyone that cant get to grips with a VT must be a bit simple in the head. Why some people insist on making life hard for themselves and climb on old fashioned and outdated methods is beyond me. 11.7 Tachyon, Armor Prus and three wraps and it bites everytime and I weigh close on 15 stone.

VT rules:001_tt2:

I employ free lancers and personally I could'nt careless what tattoo's they have so long as they can do the job. I think it is really bad when people judge a book by it's cover. Having said that I know there are plenty of snobs out there that will look down their nose at you for having your hands and neck tattoo'ed.
-
Bad news but I would'nt call it a VT failure. More like climber failure, ie failed to dress the hitch before sitting back. Trying to roll over a limb that you're anchored to and failing to do so then sitting back without checking the hitch is asking for trouble. Let's not start putting people off the VT, used properly it's unbeatable.

Haha you know it does:thumbup1:

I reckon that bloke could've humped em up there without the machine. Is it a pre-requisite that all your labourers go to the gym Mike?
-
Nah it'd be easy with the right gear n training.

Hahaha I wonder where that little saying came from:sneaky2:
