If you do go I can give you a lift back (or both ways) on Saturday if that's any help?
-
I don't know the answer to that one, but I'll be able to tell you on Sunday!
-
Yes M23/M25/M40. Could pick you up somewhere near the M23/M25 junction if that's better for you than coming down here.
-
I'm going to APF on Saturday, leaving Brighton at 6am. Everyone else that I know is going on Thu/Fri so I'll have space if anyone from round here wants a lift.

No chance. Someone might mistake me for a tree surgeon!

I'm looking to buy some basic kit for some casual rec climbing. I've got CS38 but don't have any ambitions to work as a climber. What setup would people recommend? Is a prussic and short strop as taught on the course the most sensible way to go?

I can't help with any work, but I'll be with you at Plumpton in September. I've done one year part time, so I'll be back doing the rest of the first year modules. See you in a few weeks!

I'm on holiday at the Lower Mill Estate on the Cotswolds, and they have a beaver colony here. We went to have a look in the woods to see if we could find any sign of them and this was the first thing we saw. I thought that they only did this in cartoons!

But a cheap pair of work boots will offer as much protection as chainsaw boots will in that situation...
-
Before doing anything I'd strongly suggest that you visit the forums at pepipoo.com It may be an odd name, but they have a mass of information about speeding tickets and how to deal with them. Very useful in my experience.

I gave my son his first haircut at 18 months. While my wife was out. She made it clear to me that I was to have nothing to do with the kids' haircuts ever again. Ever. Don't know what the fuss was about, it was only a number 4 and looked pretty smart to me

Opening a can of worms ... The Olympics, what is your view?!

Have you ever read the story of the Emperor's New Clothes? -
Stein Revolution come in extra long. The type Cs are a bit warm but I'm really pleased with the type As I'm using now. I ordered a pair of these and a pair of Stretch Airs from Jonesies so I could try them both and send one pair back. The Steins won.

I reckon most of us could manage to find a reasonably tidy tractor for £160,000 if we had to!

Ear defenders/plugs - advice and recommendations?
john k replied to mikebarnard's topic in General chat
Those are the ones I use too, I always have some with me. Great in the van on the motorway, sleeping at festivals or when next door are partying, or just when the kids are arguing There are loads of different types available and you can get selection packs for a few quid and find ones that work best for you. -
We've been using Kashflow for a couple of years and it's really easy. I actually enjoy doing VAT returns now because they only take about 30 seconds

I like the Canon printers and have just bought a 5250 to replace my trusty old 3000 which finally gave up the ghost. They're about £100 and have got excellent reviews. I'm happy that I made a good choice. As for ink, I never use the ludicrously expensive branded stuff. I get mine from INKredible.co.uk - cheap, good quality, excellent service (I don't have any connection with them other than as a repeat customer).
-
That would be wicked. A Beta would be better of course though
-
Abe Books is also worth a try.
-
Now being dusted off by another Arbtalker
-
Got mine today, thanks. I particularly like the red one! The XXLs are bigger than most, may have to order XL if I don't manage to shrink them a bit in the tumble drier

I've got an Edgar Brothers Model 100 .22 underlever with a Hawke Sport HD 3-9x40 scope gathering dust on my shelf. It was bought by my father-in-law in a moment of overenthusiasm with the notion that he'd use it for vermin control. As far as I know it has never been fired. You could undoubtedly get better for £300 (I don't know much about air rifles, but I'm pretty sure this is nothing special), but you can have the lot for £100 plus postage if that's of any interest?

I haven't done a lot of climbing but have used a Sequoia and the new Harkie. FWIW I found the Harkie much more comfortable.
-
Looks like fun, and not far from me. If they're authentic F1 size I doubt I'd fit my lanky legs in though!
-
The leaf shape looks like Sorbus x intermedia, but that has orange/red fruit and wouldn't generally grow to the height of your tree. Have you got any better pictures? One of the whole tree? A clearer one of the fruit?
