    It feels awkward and is a bit, just try and find a good foot hold and get your ankle cupped in somewhere so you feel secure and don't start to move while cutting. If you can try get set back away from where your cutting so you can get a good look at where the saw is going. As said just take your time but show confidence with the saw. The assessor knows your no expert or you wouldn't be there, he wants to see you work safely and decisively. Good luck mate hope it goes well.

  3. Buntline and munter hitch will do no harm to have to. Your bowline and blake's hitch with a stopper knot is your 3 knot system, you can add stopper knots to both bowline and blake's if you want. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  4. Fry and Laurie was some of the funniest tv of it time. I think Stephen fry is brilliant at what he does, the fact that he is gay and was overweight shouldn't really come into it. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  5. Do you know for a fact that this was during course time? They could be just mucking at the end of the day. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk

  12. Not 100% sure Gareth think around 40 mins in, have you every been up to them? Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  13. I had a play with one and thought it was light nice in hand and best of all new. To be honest I haven't a lot of experience of top handles, but have worked with a 200. Wouldn't want to buy a 200 just because some people don't like the change thing, and post bad comments because they heard from man that heard man the the 201 is dung.

  14. Some of the photos taken off them are very good. There very old world looking very strange. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  15. Used to work with a guy that wore woman's tights in the winter. He went into a cafe after being out at -7 and passed out at the counter while giving order. I blame the tights, how embarrassing would it have been if he had got carted off in the ambulance. Mind you no more embarrassing than when my wife cut the leathers of a biker in A&E after he came a cropper at a runabout, only to find the lacy thong and sussy's but that's for another thread.

  16. The house sits on a bend it's not a road with the house at the end. It is a small country road that runs between 2 other roads. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  17. They did say around 1 a year think there was around 200 to start with. Still not convinced about them competing with each other, I have seen beech as close to each other before and grow nice and tall. You could be right considering the amount of them. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  18. Are they not far to far spaced to be a hedge I first place? Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  19. I would think so, in there very early days i think. They do seem an odd shape don't they. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  20. Shame we never got to see him do the complete climb up, bet it took sometime time. Surprised to see him climb at all. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  21. Did anyone see the "the dark hedges " near Armoy? 200 beeches at 300 year old. If you never seen get a look on iplayer, there are lovely pictures on google if you do a search. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  22. I used the term aggressive and was told not really more aggressive, just faster. The reason I said aggressive was that's all the trainer had said all week. Assessor enjoyed hearing faster rather than aggressive. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  23. It is sad, sad for his family. My best friend took his life 1 year ago this month it was the 12th nov. He had suffered depression due to his mother dying when he was 14 yrs old and a mixture of other things life throws at you. I was deeply saddened by his lose and miss him all the time. He had a young family a son of 4 and 15 and a daughter of 7. For a man that talked about loving his family so much, it still to this day makes me wonder if so then why do what you did. I can understand the brain is a complex thing and you never really know how bad some people are. Taking your life is a very permanent solution to what can a temporary problem. My friend has turned his whole family's life upside down, the 15 yr old has went completely off the rails and I don't think he will ever be the same again. Using the word hero with someone whole took there life pains me a bit. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  24. Glad someone's happy, I'am just going to buy a top handle shortly and was beginning to wonder what to do. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
