  1. I didn't come into the work industry till I was 15 mate, it will be 19 years this march coming, if you like its been far longer than 19 as I was born into it. I wish I could pass it as aches and pains mate and it's not very often I complain about hurting but this last year or so has been awful. To the point I wake up crying in so much pain. Imagine what I'll be like in another 10/15 years! I've tried most modern medicine and treatments but nothing seems to give in. Well the odd drink helps me forget haha. Seriously though I don't have the money or backing to set up. It's been a very difficult 2 years financially for me with one thing or another. But I'm plodding on for now so I've not totally given up on myself yet
  2. Wow what a response!! I really don't know where to start. I guess a thanks to all For those that don't know me I am indeed a freelance climber, and 33 years of age. Still very young but as the old saying goes I've had a hard paper round.. I really don't want to leave the industry totally but failing the obvious next steps into the industry I may have to become marks fat porn star! There's nothing more I would love than to teach the new young guns but with a lot of education cut backs I think this maybe more difficult than it appears. We will see. I do have a bit of time yet as work is still coming in and the last thing I want to do is let people down so I will see what's what by the end of the year or next tax year. In the mean time thanks again for all your support. And Sean you are one of the biggest influences and Heros I've ever come across. Rock on bro love you dude
  3. Give Jim philpot a ring, 07970 545594 tell him I gave you his number
  4. So coming up to 19 years industry working and I've had enough. I have arthritis in both my wrists and in my right elbow. Some days I wake up crying and others are just a struggle. I'm not entirely sure when I will leave the game or if I'll stay in the industry at all. I'm holding out for something I'm not even sure is there but what will be will be. So yeah discussion open as usual guys, I've met some fantastic people along the way, and a handful to whom I owe a huge amount to. Really don't know what else to say to be honest, kind of upset that I'm actually writing this but it's been bothering me for a while now and I just needed to reach out to someone who understands I guess! Thanks everyone Adam
  5. The belted hoverfly, the largest hoverfly in the UK.
  6. Another orange banded sexton beetle, but unfortunately for this guy he fell into a cup in the sink with water in!
  7. I've had bigger nuts in my mouth with crabs on to be precise
  8. About 2 or 3 I reckon! But they were crap lines that I could do nothing about! A little like this one. And I always take photos pre work a Of damaged lines.
  9. I'll have a word with a guy I do work for Daniel, the last load of timber he got in had loads of alder in. Maybe worth a try!
  10. Just don't bother coming back on!! Simples! Don't need to remove nothing! I wouldn't buy a Burger King if I didn't like it!! ! FFS!!
  11. It will only get ripped by the anti-Stein patrol!! Some people just need to grow up. Anyway great job reg, Nigel gave me one to use at the AA show and I was very impressed, comfy as and loads of storage clips. If you like that sort of thing. Carried me well for 3 days without much adjusting. Defiantly up for one when my treecore gives up the ghost.
  12. I hate to tell you guys but it won't be blue, the Fraise blue moon came about through something rare. Which is what a blue moon is... It means there's a full moon twice in a single calendar month. The next one to happen will be January 2018
  13. I've been trying out my traversing techniques out I very much doubt any kind of work plan will be put into process anytime soon!. Until something or someone is damaged/hurt. And then some local hack will probably get the job l.. Oh well
  14. We have in Lincolnshire! There's a 4 mile stretch of roadside ash close to me, maybe the odd oak in between but I'd say at least 90% 40ish mature ash have it on them this year!
  15. Hinges better on the fibres mate.
  16. Big leaning lime fell this morning
