  1. Tim I really am sorry and I didn't believe this the first time either but I've heard countless story's and heard it direct myself!! It's crazy I know but I'm not making it up lol
  2. There will be a few others that have done refresher courses state this maybe later!! But have experienced this with there assessors even recently.. Im not one for making things like this up just to have a giggle at my own expense mate.. These people clearly shouldn't be teaching or assessing for that matter!
  3. Yes not the sharpest thing in the draw haaaaa! The scissors where pretty dull too
  4. After seeing the video my nearly 4 year old daughter was mortified to see what daddy had done to dolly and was not impressed! She never spoke to me for an hour after!!! Dolly is alive and well all the same
  5. Matty come on one of our climbs with UKTT it's all fun no pressure and always good banter!! Steve!! Thunk??? Lol

  8. You'd have to get a stitched eye, as kern can't be spliced!! Well it can but only 3/4 people know how too. Of the reel??? Joneses sell it buy not sure it's off the reel? My answer would be wait and see or give a few suppliers a ring mate

  10. I'd have taken the kitchen sink on a job like that!! It's what I call a condom job. Take everything as I'd rather have it and not need it!! Than need it and not have it!!
