  1. Got my sticker through today bud, cheers for that, cool aren't they 😃👍
  2. Ah I see, cheers! Now I'm using kern I've found that the needle bearing on the biner works well for tending!
  3. I can't work out what's going on there? What's the thin bit of cord for?
  4. Haha, some may say 'slower than the village idiot when he's sleeping' 😀
  5. A banker who was a hard nosed businessman was vacationing in a small coastal village. While walking near a pier he saw a small boat with just one fisherman. Inside the boat with the fisherman were several yellow-fin tuna. The businessman complimented the fisherman on the quality of his catch and asked how long it took to catch them. “Only a little while,” he replied. The businessman then asked why he didn’t stay out longer and catch more fish. The fisherman said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. “But what do you do with the rest of your time?” the banker asked. The fisherman responded, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a nap in the afternoon, and stroll into the village each evening with my wife where we relax and sing and I play guitar with our friends. I have a full and busy life.” The businessman scoffed, “You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat and with the proceeds buy a fleet of boats. Instead of selling your fish to a middleman, you could sell directly to a processor. You could eventually open your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You could leave this small village and move to a big city where you could run your expanding enterprise.” The fisherman asked, “But how long will this take?” The businessman replied, “15 to 20 years!” “But then what?” asked the puzzled fisherman. The banker laughed and said, “That’s the best part. You can sell your business and retire and move to a small coastal fishing village where you could sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take afternoon naps, stroll to the village in the evenings with your wife where you could relax, sing and play guitar with your friends. You would have a full and busy life. The fisherman smiled at the businessman, quietly gathered his catch and walked away. - See more at: http://whatareyouchasing.com/the-fisherman-and-the-banker#sthash.flKlFmBf.dpuf
  6. I'll give the helmet a miss then, sounds blooming awful haha!
  7. One of those stickers would look nice on my van silky.....😀 It's pleasing to see you're back doing what you love, traveling and tree work 👍
  8. Say hello to Al from his fellow hitch hiker gertie gerbutt :-)
  9. I found the set up on my peltor helmet fine but I do have a smallish head. I agree with both of you that the ear defenders were rubbish!! Think I'll get the new visor and a different set of muffs to stick on the lid I'm using at the mo. Thanks all 👍
  10. I also found this helmet which has the same visor, how do folk rate this helmet?
  11. Hiya Do any of the shops sell this type of visor set up that I used to have on my climbing helmet?
  12. Aldi alarm padlock on that too.
  13. It's not just the size of the helmet inures for smaller headed folk, the overall size of the helmet can seem like a Sombrero sometime! Which helmet has the smallest dimensions altogether?
  14. I've got a HH and use it with kern for both srt and drt, works fine. The only pain is it's 60m so takes some re routing!
  15. I hope you took that picture many miles from the Uk!!!
  16. A friend has just got one and his came with dogs fitted. Have you taken the spark arrester out?
  17. Blimey that's a big difference to TM ones, think I'd better check where I read the 60nm!
  18. It says they are just 60nm, I think over tightening is mentioned as the thing to avoid?
  19. I have one of their tool kits and they do seem good. Think a mate had one if those cards too 😀
