Three things: death, taxes and some peasant with a pitchfork eventually getting sick of the latter.
-
No such thing.

Or if it ceased to exist and no business was registered for it. VAT was introduced in 1973. How ever did these fine islands get by before then?

Another time. I have a door to hang.

I ****************ing am.

He was 'active' enough when he campaigned to have the state put the boot on his competition. He also responded to the consultation apropos the things we're discussing in this thread. I wonder what he said...
-
I meant every word, more sincerely than you probably imagine.

Unlike lobbying the state to hobble people so you can sell them crutches.

@Justme I cannot tell you how happy I am to see third tier dolescum like you sweating about this. You just can't stand that the Westminster thieves have backed off people who actually perform productive work for once and have stripped hanger-on losers like you of some crumbs. Please share any hardship you experience with the forum.

I store my rigging rope pre threaded with a big pulley and a big ring in that order (on separate deadeyes). Someone on the ground then only has to find and tie on the bundle of stuff from one bag when you ask for it, not look around for separate bits. There’s no threading or dropping anything in the tree because everything’s already set up. If the main rigging point pulley is enough, the ring just sits with it, similar to bigtreedon’s picture. If you need a redirect, the ring is ready to take with you. The obvious extension is a ring/pulley in the bundle before the main pulley for a predirect but it adds more mess than convenience. Thread a ring on from the bottom or attach a pulley/biner midline if you need a predirect.

Don’t resent your fellow motorist. Resent the people who oppress us all.

That's under the heading, "What you’re currently allowed to tow"

Where does it say that?

New rules for towing a trailer or caravan with a car from autumn 2021 - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK There will be new rules about towing a trailer or caravan with a car later in 2021. Find out how the changes affect you.

No. I meant the top and bottom of the larch planks. I couldn't see a bit of flat steel like there is at waist height. You didn't screw some batten to the underneath of the top steel did you?
-
Smart. What are the top and bottom fasteners going into?
-
River work is fun. I had a cracking couple of days last summer walloping poplars into the Thames.
-
Man plans, god laughs.
-
Probably what Kevin said.

Used neither, have used sailing winches elsewhere, own a Hobbs. If I was buying, it would be the Smartwinch. Not having to change from the winch to the bollard will be a massive advantage, as will being able to use the bollard and winch at the same time. Can't see a downside. My opinion might change if I discovered the SWL of the Smartwinch bollard was noteworthily less than the GRCS bollard but even if it was, I'd probably still go with the Smartwinch and keep a cheap Stein dual in the back of the shed for rare jobs that need repeated heavy negative rigging.

That sounds insane at first but divided down it’s only a Land Rover Discovery on each wire. Surprised they didn’t deflect more.
-
Never had a problem. I take a short extension lead so I don’t have to go into kitchens etc.
-
A pulley and hitch.

Alder go like breadsticks relatively quickly when dead. Lose strength and flexibility. It’s going to come down at some point. Might as well be now.
