There's a place for every calibre and actually they did away with the 7.62 for infantry because it is just too powerful and will pass straight through a body where as the 5.56 will tumble and cause much more damage.

Dont wear either, they'll only make you go bald.

Starting out climbing when your older.

Spot on Tony!!! Adapt and build your 'arb muscles' from an early age. My only regret is climbing on a prussik for 26 years and therefore having one side stronger than the other. -

Yeah and theres a reason for that and when you've done the job for twenty odd years you'll understand why and that aint being big headed. I've met stacks of blokes with five or so years under their belt that thought they knew the lot and tbh out of all of em I still employ about one percent of em, the rest just aint gonna make it past forty. -
Contradiction in terms I do believe. You say "It depends what practical experience you've had" and then go on to say "You could have 30 years practical experience, but it would count for nothing".........

Thread bumper my arse!!! How d'ya get on climbing in yer tutu? -
We were bollocked by some army cadets (WTF) for stepping through a barrier but were told it was okay to clamber through a hawthorn hedge then step over a fence. Capel have a few issues to sort out imo with proper security being on top of the list.

Thats just you worrying. I think anyone that takes up climbing and tries to do it on a commercial level when they're past thirty is shot away. IMO it takes at least five years to learn the job which takes you to thirty five and no matter what anyone says your body is on a decline from there on and there will always be some young buck ready to jump in yer shoes.....there are some that can hack it but not many. -
Phil, dont forget to tell everyone how you got Tony to sign the cardboard that the sawpod is on, and how you sucked up to him all morning like he was a Hollywood star......:laugh1:BTW how many sleeping bags did you have....
-

-
Haha a few slugs n leeches wont kill ya.
-
I'm just gonna bivvy up on the roundabout or crash out in a drainage ditch along the way.......You wont miss me on Saturday, I'll be the one covered in slug trail.
-
Friday, but wont start drinking til around 7 so you'll probably catch me in the Pied Bull
-
Well yeah, just get a mortgage....sorted:thumbup1:

Me a Philistine!!!!We gave up chiseling stone down here about 500ad......
-
What a waste of good stone. I dunno I might be missing something but it just strikes me the same as cutting up a decent bit of rope.
-
Thats life Tony. Were all part of it so whatever happens it is all part of the natural cycle.
-
There is however an abundance of humans. Perhaps we should start eating them. I hear they taste good.
-
Result!!!!! I'd forgot about the bus pass:thumbup1:.....:lol:you cheeky monkey you.
-
Yeah sounds good but a little whale hunting on the side would'nt go a miss.... I'd be happy with just doing what I'm doing now in five or ten years.
-
Haha that aswell, boy's and their toys lol. Sold my Aprillia 280cc Climber a while back, I wish I still had it.
-
Lovely bike John:thumbup1:I keep looking at mine cos I got the urge again.

Whiskey is disgusting, I cant even stand the smell of it, well not since the age of 15 when me n me mates chipped in for a bottle and took it to the woods and got hammered... Nine bottles of Bishops Finger last night..:blushing:By christ my head is fumpin' this morning.
