  1. the thread title pretty much sums up the response i usually give. sure they are just following the orders of the big chiefs but it does get right on my nerves, especially when its every time you deal with them. and they make it sound like they are doing you a favour. next time do it mick, give her your card. then tell her youll double the price and take 25 % off because shes a preffered customer.
  2. left to right: jay smith, ross smith, mick stockbridge, rich rule, toby sims (swoosh), nick waring, stu (scm), beezy, rob, frankie laurence, mark bolam, and me.
  3. a cracking day out, cheers for the venue mark. good to see some new faces turn out.
  4. i like that, thats really smart. nice one.
  5. pictures would help if you have any, has it got any signs of black spores under the bark resembling soot?
  6. a genuine question and in no way meaning to rain on your parade (i admire the pioneering thought behind the idea).... if a tree is deemed so unsafe and unstable that it would require lightening, then surely it would be unsafe to leave it in situe for any period of time to allow it to lose the weight? i hope this is taken as food for thought and not as criticism.
  7. nice one. if and when i do it i will be raising for charity.
  8. woke up with a bit of a sore leg so thought i'd give it a miss:sneaky2:
  9. it was '89 down here, but then you northerners are a few years behind us:sneaky2:
  10. nice one , looks a good crack. one of the nurses who looked after me in hospital got me to look it up as she was going to do it. i kind of made a deal that when i was fit enough to do it i would do one with her.... not sure what ive let my self in for, hopefully she'll have forgotten by then! did you do it for charity or punishment?
  11. nice vid josh.
  12. oh..... all this time i thought the bag went at the bottom, you know like a funnel.... ooops!
  13. i certainly will frankie, it takes more than a little graze to stop me. though i'll be watching this one from the ground. see you there.
  14. still on mate, just bring your kit and a sense of humour. dont worry about getting your car stuck as there will be plenty of people with 4x4s to point and laugh if you do. im sure mark or mick will post soon enough to confirm directions and anything else you need to know.
  15. nicely done dean.
  16. sorry to hear about your mum. it sounds like you have a strong and possitive character. all the best to you both, im sure youll be a great support to her and shell be grateful for strength.
  17. that sounds a bit of a rough deal mate, hope someone can give you some good advice. welcome to the forum.
  18. nick, how comes youve not climbed for ages? or do you just mean reccy climbing?
  19. youve got a deal. whos bringing the potty?
  20. i was just thinking about this today, about getting a meet arranged. count me in, although i might have to sit the climbing out!
  21. top one looks like 'ganoderma pfeifferi' not sure on the other two but i would suspect the 3rd is a lichen of sorts.
  22. now thats funny!
  23. good thread you got going here sam.
  24. congratulations ray
  25. but you are a winner, you donated to a worthy charity and got to feel good about yourself for it. nice one steve for raising a great total, and good on all who added to it. i plan to do some charity fund raising at some point later this year and will make sure the childrens trust gets a look in. i hope you understand my not participating in this raffle.
