  1. My feeling is that if you are not following HSE "recommendations, they are not going to pay, regardless of what your risk assessment says. I'd be interested to know the outcome of the conversation.
  2. Is that with every purchase, or just a one time offer?
  3. Very good.:biggrin:
  4. One thing though. If you should have an accident in your shorts. Your insurance company will tell you where to go. That may well be the most compelling argument for always wearing the correct PPE.
  5. It's called risk compensation, and is the reason that bikers have for so long feared the VOLVO!
  6. Not been working this week as we've all been ill in our house. I can confirm, however, that throwing up repeatedly in this heat, is a bugger.
  7. Flat? 75-120 grain? Availability of ammo?
  8. I've never shot a .270. how does it compare to .243?
  9. Won't be spoiling it anymore, he's banned.
  10. This came on Radio 2 this afternoon. It's always made me a bit "emotional". [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86wME5d_yZM]Nina Simone - Mr Bojangles - YouTube[/ame] So I was already a little bit vulnerable. Then a statement from the little girl shot in Afganistan on the news straight after. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrasFcGqM_s]Malala Yousafzai makes education plea at UN - YouTube[/ame] What an amazing kid. I just filled right up. A true Barnes-Wallis moment, and I don't mind admitting it.
  11. Ya can't do that in a landie!
  12. Royal Armouries is a brilliant place.
  13. Looks a good job to me btw, and I"ve laid a few.
  14. She set the spec. she lives with it. The times I've come across people who thought they knew better than the professional they got in to do the job. Charge for everything, no reason you should be out of pocket.
  15. Looks like a big tree for DED. Would have expected it to have succumbed long before now. I agree with the above. See what happens next year. And it will make cracking firewood.
  16. It's only the depth that varies.
  17. Nothing wrong with air mate. My Daystate Air Ranger is the sweetest shooting gun I own. I've always said that for shooting rabbits, nothing beats a good PCP.
  18. I think you are right a bout the wiring, but it was factory fitted, so dig away. It's just the way that the hydraulic winches work that impresses me. They pull like hell, response is instant and there's none of that feeling that something could break at any minute. They just don't feel as if they're working hard if you get my meaning.
  19. The C.R. 9600 A.P No sorry can't remember. Think that the burnt out husk might still be around somewhere. I'll have a look.
  20. Mike, been there with the synthetic line, and agree with you, the pros don't outweigh the cons (although I do think that they are safer). Yes they are a lot of money, but, and it's a big one, from looking at them, reckon I could leave it to my boy when I die. Am going to give the huskies a closer look though. Thanks for the input. Might even give the Milemarkers another look, despite my prejudice towards US manufacturing standards.
  21. It's all about control.
  22. 2x Warn 9000i not bad 1x Britpart thing that Landrover fit now. First time I used it it burnt out the entire wiring loom on a brand new 2011 110 Defender.
  23. With the kind of quantities you are after, the chainsaw is never going to pay for itself.
  24. I'll have a look. Cheers, Bren.
