I'll put my hand up and say that Saturn are hopeless too. Recently ordered new blades, after two months of ringing every week and being fobbed off I cancelled my order. The guy on phone couldn't give a toss about it. Will never use them again, expect they will get where they are going!

Don't pretend you do invoices Bolam! We all know you go home and swim in a heated pool of cash!

Used to do rope access work and get paid in this fashion. No expert, but no one else has replied. So. You can register for CIS on the HMRC website. Have a search on there. Not sure how your employer has already paid you, as you need to be registered for the scheme first, but maybe they are going to back date it. Also I was under the illusion that you got 20% deductions. The only way I can see it being 30% is if they have included class 2 national insurance deductions also. But these depend on you making more that £15k ish profit, which if you have only started and are buying kit etc, may not happen. Finally, from my own experience it is imperative you get the correct paper work from the employer. Similar to a pay slip on paye. If not, come tax time you will end up paying tax on it again. With the paper work it is marked down as tax already paid. The HMRC won't tell you what has been paid in by the employer even though i'm sure they know. Smart eh!? Hope this helps, my advice is to pay an accountant to do the book work, they will save your their fee at a minimum. But at the same time collecting All the necessary paper work is your responsibility.

Nice! I spotted the calamine version on sherill's and pestered honey's till they got it in. The UK version will be ce marked, I know some loler inspectors will baulk at the non ce American version.

Think poison ivy is the same rope, but in different colours. Should be able to get it per metre anyhow.

It's the spacer from a dmm pinto. Keeps some of the wet gack off the rope.

I don't know mate, but i'm fairly sure a search will pull up a few threads, certainly are a few.

I'm the same, had two pairs of stretch air, the second were poor so gave up. Had three pair of sips in a row, i'm fairly sore on them, they last around eighteen months, then patch them up for wet day use. Excellent trousers, same again for me next time!

You have started a great thread! Think I know who you work for and I know from the word on the street moral is at an all time low. It's a shame, plenty of good blokes in there. Hopefully the management wake up before it's too late.

Is this company an arb association contractor? They may be interested in hearing from you. Climbers choice is final on tree hazards and whether it's safe to climb. Always other options as you said in your op.

Should that pic up there be in the 'show us your lunge' thread?

Even if they are soaking, i'm guessing it would be quite profitable to buy say 100 cube and let them dry for a year. Then sell on for whatever you can get. Everyone's a winner.

As above, what Skyhuck said. Most unusual and offensive posts on here for a while.

I see nothing wrong there either. Hard to beat a bit of Connie bashing! Nice to see other people's work, keep posting! Hope your groundies kept pace with the clean up.

Haynes manual special, 'refitting is a reversal of removal'. Always useful after ten pages of how to take apart. Good luck!

I'd be confident on the sensor. When it's running and you have pressed the roller button to 'go' can you see an orange led illuminated on the back of the valve block? Also another way to diagnose the sensor is to check if the digital display in the key box is giving you an rpm figure.

Check the air gap from the flywheel speed sensor and fly wheel it's self. It's located behind the air filter when you flip the bonnet. Also behind the roller speed adjuster is the hydraulic valve block there is generally a orange light on one of the valves when the rollers are ready to operate.

As a guess I think it's a boat rope. I remember we used to climb on the smaller diameter boat ropes when I started. Sure it was grand!

Your in Lisburn Chris, you should have them, I would but it's a bit further for me. Seriously though, just why!? As said above, dump would be much easier.

I agree with spoiling your hitch spacing and making rope twisting worse. Seemed to make it all twist below the krab, requiring constant 'stepping through' of the rope to resolve. I thought it was just me, as I have a friend who loves his. As said good for a rotating redirect.

Working somewhere like that, with the nice weather, good tools and quality tree work is just bliss! Becomes not really like work despite the physical effort! You need two weeks of reducing leylandi hedges to bring you back to earth! Any idea how long they had been shaping those elephants out of the yew? They really are awesome!

Had the upgraded part for coming on a year now. Good news is it's holding up well. The original design was lasting around 3 months depending on who was using the saw.

I agree, costa is clean rotten, such a disappointment! I have a nespresso machine, does the trick.

If that works I think I'd have a go at that myself. Would be nice when it's just too much effort for the silky! Let us know how it turns out. Looks cool too, which is most important!

Are these on you tube, for those of us who don't have a bakebook account?
