    I'm a perfectly well fed anarchist, with a tapeworm that diverts more energy than a US led invasion. Check your messages and maybe we can talk about trees for a change.

    He was a pikey last week, you meanie.
  3. But it's a car. It's a tonne.

    That happened to me on a Petzl. Got me into the habit of checking.

    Come back to Blighty, Mick. Open a little shop in Walmington-on-Sea, providing only the most discerning clientele with only the finest tree paraphernalia. Wear a brown coat.
  6. For the sake of a £6 pair of gloves, I'll have neither thanks. About as enticing as radiation.
  7. OK. Partial backpedal. Slings basketed through a wheel spoke/hole won't break them and low enough down, you shouldn't parallelogram the wheels/hubs/axles. You're still grovelling under a car though.
  8. No. Faff, mechanically unsympathetic, unrealistic.
  9. Front (drive) wheels turning, back wheels (handbrake) skidding. Should have tried it in gear. Load cell arriving in the post today.
  10. We've all used a car, van etc for a quick anchor point, driving it to pull something over or just static. A car weighs a tonne so that'll be fine, right. Not necessarily. I and an esteemed fellow member were winching stuff the other day, measuring with a crane scale. Volvo V50, 1445kg kerb weight, handbrake on, compacted gravel road. It moved with a 350kg pull at the same height as the towing eye, not even an upwards pull as if rope up tree. Surprisingly little.
  11. Value of gloves vs value of not having skin cancer on your hands and/or cock?
  12. Why did the Arrest Blair campaign fizzle out?

    ArbDogs? Pics!

    I remember sitting at an outside café table in the grounds of a castle ruin in Italy. Next door table had their dog tied to it. The guy I was with threw a scrap of posh ham for it. Table everywhere. Italian chaos. I can’t remember whether I laughed at the time but I’m not sure I would now. Ruined their day.
  14. Wood worthless. Facebook free firewood group might get people to take it.
  15. Could just be I’m not tying them well enough. Either way, I’m not buying a whoopie now. I’m using a Dempsey strap!
