  1. Aren't they the boots that Marty McFly wears in Back To The Future 2?
  2. there are loads of copies to download on Download music, movies, games, software! The Pirate Bay - The world's most resilient BitTorrent site i downloaded the one with around 25000 seeds and it seems alright.
  3. All our friends are going to London, but my girlfriend and I can't be arsed. (London is 120 miles away so i would have to drive). Off to tesco to get nice food, nice drink and a nice film I want to be in a different country next year. Celebrating new years on a beach would be a good change.
  4. these looks quite good - Blacks Kilimanjaro II best thing about them is the price - £64.99 !!
  5. A local bloke said that he was approached at the petrol station by someone saying that they have some work for him. They asked for a card and went on their way. A few days later, he had lots of kit stolen from his wooden () shed inc 6 brand new saws. He had his full home address on the card. I can't see any benefits of having a home address on a card or website etc. Perhaps just the area you cover or your village/town.
  6. they would look good with a lunge thrown in.
  7. Can anyone recommend some good boots? I was thinking of getting these Meindl Burma Goretex - anyone have them? (although they are £170 so perhaps something around the £100 would be nicer on my wallet) cheers
  8. have you tried any new gadgets? they aren't just made to make 'muscle probs' go away. fair enough if you can manage with a prussik and rope but your life would be alot easier with a few adjustments.
  9. great early 90's graphics at the end
  10. Went to see it in 3D last night - awesome! I'm going to see it again before they stop showing at the cinema. Don't think it will be the same on DVD (unless its on bluray with 60" HD Plasma). and re: the alien girl - she is alot hotter as an alien than in real life.
  11. I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed. The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow— Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India-rubber ball, And he sometimes gets so little that there’s none of him at all. He hasn’t got a notion of how children ought to play, And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way. He stays so close beside me, he’s a coward you can see; I’d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me! One morning, very early, before the sun was up, I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup; But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed. Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Last week with my fair lady...
  12. 2010 will be v. interesting. my second year in arb. all i'm thinking about at the moment is keeping in full time work to get experience. after that i have big plans and ambitions. we'll see how it goes
  13. i just bung all my ropes and friction cord in as they are, no pillow case or owt. even the wire strop goes in i stick one of those gel things in the drum with the ropes. 40 deg normal wash they came up like new last time after some really shtty weather and a mouldy old oak.
  14. now now kids. no fighting on christmas day!
  15. agreed - that truck its the dogs danglees
  16. he must of had a new 400000000000000000mm zoom lens.
  17. here's a couple from the weekend
  18. As dodgy as a Zimbabwean election organised by Robert Mugabe.
  19. 234 you can kind of go inbetween two objects if you press up/down quickly
  20. this one? http://www.iscwales.com/pdf/pulleys/stainlesssteel/RP037B%20SS%20MICRO%20PULLEY.pdf
  21. i got it from an overseas arb forum so not sure who the splicer is.
  22. 'not a champion tree' lol thats effing huge!
  23. pull your cheeks apart? arf.
  24. yeh that does look good, but what isn't immediately apparent is the price. £36.45+vat for 0.7m only then +£18 for 1m, +£19.50 for 1.5m
  25. i agree. i will get the real thing at some point, but i have all the materials to make a good home made one bar the pulley which will set me back £20. at the moment i can't justify £150 when £20 will do the job:001_smile:
