  4. ha ha, watch out, the thread police will be here soon to give you a lecture on not reading all the thread first
  5. have you been sleeping johny:001_tongue:
  6. you got me fair and square deano, now i know what it feels like:thumbdown:all i can say i will think twice before starting my revenge on you, think twice as hard i mean:sneaky2:
  7. looking forward to those pics john
  8. i usually cant find my keys after that, then i would forget the helmets after driving 20 miles to the job, stand on dog poo, the council would appear telling me i am in a tpo, the mog would blow an air hose and i would have no money for lunch lol
  9. your laces breaking first thing in the morning, in my experience it is the start of a bad day
  10. what are you chipping john?i thought you were a firewood man, or is it all the crapy conny and gnarly stuff:001_smile:
  11. well done that man, what a great tool. i think i need one of them in my tool box immediately
  12. rob i have the amazing gift of being a fantastic inventor, let me have a rumage around my rubarb and custard type shed and see what i can throw together for you mate [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HiBcAbxMdU&feature=related]YouTube - Roobarb and Custard episode 10[/ame]
  13. you will need to have your wiast line up about your nipples to stop the crotch going on the stretch airs, if you are a woman this isnt a problem but unfortunately men have 2 problems with major hiked up waist lines, and i am sure you know what they are. lol even if you get them up really high the first sweaty day and you will stuggle to lift your leg higher than your opposite knee, welcome to the world of arb mate. amazing trousers i have had one pair for nearly 3 years and i only bought a new pair because they were on special, and they had rectified the problem with the bottoms getting scuffed by putting reinforceing around the ankles. best trousers on the market ino, welcome aboard mate
  14. take one of the roller pumps off his tw and stick it on my wee chipper to power the wheels i think, it is satuarday night edd, rob will be on the top deck by now:beer:
  15. it was at the sealife centre in connol, that is looking towards the ballahuilich direction. the weather was amazing today, 19 degrees yet quite nippy, a touch of autumn i felt:thumbup1:
  16. the other guy got a bargain mate at 45k, if your not fast you are last.
  17. i didnt realise it was adjustable tim, i thought you just relied on the size of the stem. i get you now:thumbup1:what distance do you recomend to leave between the 2 rings, what have you found to be the best gap if you know what i mean, i know that is a bit mumbojumbo, i cant explain what i mean to well.
  18. i am feeling pretty goosed today, my back has just siezed up, i have been non stop for over a week and thought i would do nothing this weekend, well sitting in the van for most of the day hasnt helped, it has just tightened up, so warm bath me thinks. but yes frank, i aim to get myself nice and strong. i even find shoving my little chopper into those tight places all week easier now
  19. i had lunch in a pretty cool place today robert as well mate:001_cool:
  20. nice one andy, i look forward to your input to this thread. you are going to love the new angle you are taking for your work big guy
  21. i had electric winches on a hilux, really slow, warmed up very quickly
  22. i think it is very impractical, when sectioning a pole i couldnt be bothered with that, i would rather a chokered strop and just clip my line onto it. one hand can slacken the hitch, the my flip line and strop would jus get moved down together, then just a tighten of one and an adjustment of the other and away again. but i havent tried it so i can only guess
