So it's a 50 50 then depending on the bigwig that gets sent to you. Let's hope it never happens then.

He will be on with his iPhone soon enough, birthday or not he has a habit to feed haha... Happy birthday rob

Oops sorry about the bad word! Keep forgetting about that one haha seems so innocent to my ears...
-
Ok thanks. So here's another scenario then.... You are chogging down a stem and one of the blocks you threw down has a bat in it, what then? Would you be up **** creek? Or would you be praised for phoning the proper bods and getting them to find it a new home?

Having done many bat surveys prior to felling on big jobs and never having found any bats I have a question... If I was just doing a random tree in a back garden or wherever and suddenly realised there was a bat in the tree, what should I do next? Can they be put in another hole somewhere and they will sort themselves out when it gets dark? Or is it more complicated than that? Would be interesting to know what can be done, seeing as bat surveys cost money and joe bloggs public mainly won't be giving a toss about paying any extra, so I guess this could happen from time to time.

If it was clear and understandable then they wouldn't be able to screw you over if something ever did go wrong. Has anyone ever had an easy time getting an insurance claim? Our confusion and misinterpretation of these mind boggling documents are exactly what they want. Personally I have no idea what is required and have always understood it as if some company hires me to work for them then I am working under their insurance. I sooo hope this is correct because that's what I have always understood, albeit vaguely... -
Ok now mine worked this time??? Weird or what...

Yea yours still work:confused1: 💩👍👎 I don't use tapatalk either, just one of the mysteries of modern technology.

Not at all, I think it's a good idea for a blind fool with no common sense that can't see if his rope or any other bit of kit needs replaced. I use and inspect my gear every day and have done for 20 years. I just hate being patronised and made to spend money on something I have been doing myself every day for free. H&S is a good thing but it goes over the top and becomes an expensive hindrance more than anything. I value my life and dont need to pay someone to tell me if I am safe or not, I just don't trust anyone with my life except me because I am for sure a better judge of my safety than they are. Sure you can inspect my stuff but why do you have to put heat guns close to it? Why do you engrave the metal pieces? Why is it not free when I am paying for benefit scroungers to sit on their ass? Why am I in a bad mood right now? Why am I not in my bed? Rant over... Goodnight

First attempt? Wow for a first attempt! My first attempt was a mushroom that looked more like a boaby than anything else. Keep it up you got talent for sure.

Dejavu? -
Sounds to me like it's not or at least was not your rope to begin with. If it was me there is no way I would use a rope that hasn't been used by me and only me. Not worth the risk IMO. You just dont know its history. Use it as a pulling rope and go buy yourself something you can trust 100%

Why is it I can see MattyF's jobby and thumb then and mine don't show up? Not that seeing Matty's jobby is that important anyway haha:lol:

This tree looks pretty dead to me? is it dangerous?
David Goss replied to YoGi_93's topic in General chat
Pics are not enough to give a good idea here. Are you sure it's dead? Looks like it has a full living crown to me but like I said these 2 pics ain't enough. If your worried about it then maybe a reduction would be the best option (if alive), if it's dead then you may want to get those big limbs off it at least and leave it as habitat. -
Nice one Will be a nice view from up there:biggrin:
-
Make sure it's a different colour and have it clearly marked on the annoying bits in your kit bag. Then if the inspector has a problem with it you grab him by the throat and shove the annoying bits into his eyes for being unreasonable.
-
Or cut the annoying bit off and get on with my work unhindered.
-
Don't know about you but those things are always annoying. If you need that extra inch to get a perfect position you can't get it because of some bull legislation or if it's on the other end you can't put your nice shiny new spiderjack on or take it off. It's just H&S making things difficult for us as per usual.
-
As long as your talking about the plastic bit then you have nothing to worry about. Don't touch the whipping though.
-
It's your rope, cut it off if you want. Keep it in your kit bag just in case the loler inspector gets anal on you.
-
Hmmm mine didn't seem to work. Oh well
-
Oh cool they worked and I have it too
-
I don't like those big ass snap crabs and that one looks like its going to be right in your face! Looks good apart from that.

:lol:

I don't ever throw karabiners around, although my cambium saver does hit the ground hard after bouncing off a few branches first! That's just down to complete lazyness though because I can't be bothered getting the throw line out. Maybe it's time I did...
