  1. Take a gamble on the 11th, if the weather is poor, we could postpone.

  2. Bad idea imo. One you could get a nasty poke, two don't rely on a stub to hold a doubled line on a stem. I heard about a guy who did that to get down, the rope rolled off the stub and down he came. Broken back, game over. On a stem you should be choked on a single line, so you can get down should anything happen:thumbup1:
  3. I'm away 2-9th but free all the other weekends. Did you get something sorted with that plane?

  4. Terrible news [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMGHT9bydgk]Deep Purple Speed King - YouTube[/ame]
  5. Use the chokered knot, alipine butterfly/running bowline, with long tail to retrieve, then add in a munter hitch. That way you don't need any extra gear as such, just an extra krab
  6. Pfff! Anyone who can cut a ratchet strap from a distance is a pro in my books:lol:
  7. I like it. Maybe do a regional team league? Meet up every so often to have match with team colours/kits? Maybe that would be more logistically viable than everyone getting to the shows?
  8. I think the only reason for my axing prowess was that I probably had far too many go's! I don't think its any talent, more a probability that the more throws you do, you're bound to build up points eventually
  9. I paid a fleeting visit to the NHM a month or so ago, I'm gutted, I completely missed the ceiling piece. Oh well, I'll have to go back next time I'm that way
  10. Ha, I do! Doesn't bother me what they think, I'm the one who doesn't feel like turd the next morning and I have no trouble getting going
  11. I'd be well up for any of those suggestions. Maybe an arbtalk league, with video play or something? Add one vid a week of your best score, running through the year? I've found a stash of gransfors online....I'm getting mine today:thumbup:
  12. Maybe it meant two thai people:laugh1:
  13. :lol:Quality, especially the grope lunge
  14. Yeah, only had the airstreams since the arb show, sorry
  15. Baseball cap?! I'm going to have another look in my goody bag. Can't complain, I got a lovely new (free) axe! Thanks jonesie and all involved in running another brilliant show.
  16. :lol:Arbtalkers - Consistently lowering the tone since 2007:001_rolleyes:
  17. Pretty sound boot. Mine lasted about nine months which is fairly good for me. The back stitching is what finally gave out. Also the low tops combined with lots of stretchy/lungy leg moves = trousers ride up over the top and boots full of sawdust. I'd get another pair if I hadn't bought some airstreams
  18. Handy tools, I've got one in my bag. They do lead you to want to tinker once you get hold of it though...
  19. St Vincent and the Grenadines.... You have a lower BMI than 53% of males aged 15-29 in your country According to one of these my missus did for me a few years ago, I came in as obese. I certainly ain't that! As has been said, no way of accounting for muscle tone etc
  20. I am on my phone of late, no problems on the pc though:confused1:
  21. 8 - 10 if I'm at home, less when I'm away for work. My friends think I'm a loser for going to bed so early but I like it and have no issues getting up in the morning. Eat right, sleep right, no need for red bull or similars
  22. I'm savouring it! On site for an early start and no one else is here yet...maybe they're sunbathing
