  1. That's not far from it Paul, only difference is, it was Kajagoogoo playing on my eight track player.....
  2. I slept through the whole thing then drove to work in my mk1 Escort through a scene of utter devastation. Got as near as three miles from work and had to abandon the car due to a fallen Beech and walk the rest. How things have changed since then eh TCD, now everyone has chippers, full ppe and top of the range climbing gear. Back then the only bit of ppe available was a pair of cheapo builders gloves that didn't fit properly and three strand rope n prussik with a poxy harness.....
  3. Five years and three months to go.....you jammy bastard Seriously though, sixty is a good age to still be doing this job hands on. Well done mate....
  4. It's my back I'm getting worried about, it hurts like hell in the morning, okay once I get working but I wonder how long it last. Another seventeen years if the government have anything to do with it, they've pushed my retirement age up to sixty seven.... All my working life I've been looking forward to knocking it on the head at sixty five.....
  5. Nine! I'm usually akip on the settee by seven then wake up and go to bed at nine....
  6. I hereby officially welcome you to join the old git's club.....
  7. Agreed, those apps are brilliant. When I have a break I have a browse......
  8. Haha, I've just emptied me last bottle.....nice one, set em up barkeep....hic:laugh1:
  9. The general idea is to not hit the deck in the first place Dean.
  10. Twenty seconds of that was learning how to roll out of a cage when it hits the deck.......
  11. Unfortunately not Nick. That's one thing I'll miss about the old smiley face.
  12. I know exactly what you mean about the burning pain in the shoulder blade. Got any pics of your outings with the ELH?
  13. I like Mark Bolams so I'm gonna copy that..... Leave my chipper alone, you just don't know how to get the best out of her Paul..... Been winching out connie stumps today so we had a fair amount of tools and it was bliss to have that crewcab to put em all in. Still had room for a pushbike or two John.
  14. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhHJ4zEKDZY]Alexei Sayle-Ullo John Gotta A New Motor-1982 - YouTube[/ame]
  15. If someone I was paying money to spoke to me like that I'd put the phone down on em and go elsewhere no matter how good their quote was.
  16. That one has been floating around for year's. I'm surprised it hasn't gone up by now.
  17. Armor Prus on Tachyon. Same as Mark, HC with VT but the difference being that my combo is superior to his.....
  18. I'm the arb equivalent of that famous pistolero Josey Wales..... Seriously though, that CeUK saw aint arf bad for the price.
  19. I've got one of these to try out. The saw is pretty good but the scabbard is a bit of a let down. The fast draw test saw the Silky out of it's scabbard the quickest.....
  20. You could have done that without posting his pic. What if he's a member or joins at a later date and see's this thread. If were me I'd be none too happy.
  21. Worry about your own stuff and not others.
  22. Rollers give next to no resistance and are for trackside warming up, just to get the legs spinning really. Two hours today, tailwind out and was dreading the return trip but I punched into the wind like a steam train, loved every second of it. No doubt cos I'm well rested from having this week off work.
