Yes, I have in the past - but with a maillon in place of the blue krab. (that fencing might be a bugger to top, though)

Size 4? Are you sure you've got toes aswell? Welcome, by the way.

Feeding trough for camels.

I know your sort, Treemon. I'll give you a tenner - not a damned penny more!

Power NI. I was talking to a few of their climbers a few weeks ago. They were standing beside a new Defender-mounted mewp (£46,000)! Seemingly there's plenty of contact work going - must be money somewhere. They're also changing from Stihl to Hus ..... you know - the other one.
-
Who's it with? NIE?
-
It's great to hear from you, Reg. Business as usual I see!
-
Neat work, but will it roll forward and crush the sitter (Indiana Jones style)?
-
Ah, that's why I've never come across the advantage. You used the word "speed"! I'll have to hurry up a bit!
-
Me too. I only use a whoopie for a Portawrap. Do you think there's an advantage in securing a block with a whoopie?
-
And what do you anchor your blocks with?
-
A crack willow would mop that up in no time!
-
Shhh .... I know ....... the shame....

Go raibh maith agat.

Maybe that's what you did wrong then. Are you going to rephrase your question?

Yes, they support training for chainsaw users that might work in agriculture, but they all stay on the ground.
-
None that I know of. A few ticket providers, but no courses that you're asking about. Hopefully I'm wrong.
-
Lenses .... no, glasses ....... no, lense ...... glas ..... What was the question?

Either splice the ends onto the pulley or, as an alternative, use the DMM spacer or the Petzl emergency plastic pulley as a spacer.

If it's the full-body harness that you're talking about, there's usually several of them on ebay. You might also consider an extra small conventional climbing harness - the suspension point allows more movement but at a greater risk of 'up ending'.

A visually impaired person could still have functional appreciation of a tree's asthetic value, they may not see with the same resolution as someone with '20-20' vision but their ability to 'value' what they see may be no less. (Would we take offense at an eagle's opinion of our human sight being less than required?) You mention, Tony, that this person has been appointed to a panel as a councellor - to weigh the points that an appeal would highlight. Such a commitee might actually benefit from the inclusion of a broader range of people, my experience (limited as it is) of this type of group is that it tends to be self-selecting and often unable to generate an alternative solution. I also know a particular blind person who can 'see' problems and solutions with the clarity that many would be envious of. Just my twopennies' worth.

I would have thought not. I think wrists would not have to exert as much force on the lump because the gloves are providing more friction. I appreciate that greater forces could be acting on the wrist but only if you're lifting heavier lumps with your increased-friction grip. I would also imagine that any adjustment that the wrists would make would occur well within a couple of years. Maybe your work has changed over the years, or you're just getting old (er).

"eye hole" that's brilliant, Matt.

I wouldn't pay them much - only chicken-feed. Interesting info., Gerrit. Thanks.

As with many predictions, the accuracy of them decreases as time increases. The chances of predicting today's weather is quite good - tomorrow, not as high - and so on. In the UK, the weather has a four day 'memory', i.e. a prediction beyond four days from now has about a 50% chance of being correct - that's the same as tossing a coin! I wonder if the people who are currently predicting this winter's weather are the same boffins who told me about the heat wave I'm NOT in at the moment.
