  1. It was a very rapey name. The pub was "the fawcett inn" and they had their own cider... I know it was 20 years ago but still.
  2. Anyone who heeds those signs and turns around is a coward. Risk it all and if you're wrong you unhitch the chipper and turn around with your pride intact. Same as those pointless temporary lights when there's nothing to avoid. Most of the time they don't have planning permission anyway. Fair game.
  3. I've drank in that pub. They were serving their own house Cider at the time. Can you guess what it was called?
  4. When i get hired in with a mewp I usually end up doing at least 5x more cutting than I would do from a rope. The tendency is to one hand a out more too. It takes its toll on my right elbow/ shoulder
  5. Or is the term "freelance climber"
  6. Endorsed by the Arb Asociation too, for your reassurance.
  7. AA AA4956 Car Battery Charger Maintainer UK Plug Fully Automatic with Crocodile Clamps Eyelet Connectors As Used By AA Patrols,Black/Yellow,1.5 Amp 6 V/12 V, Packaging May Vary : Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo AMZN.EU AA AA4956 Car Battery Charger Maintainer UK Plug Fully Automatic with Crocodile Clamps Eyelet... i bought this one ages ago and it's been pretty good at charging my truck battery overnight since the alternator handed in its notice. Charges until full then stops. cheap enough for me
  8. What is it if not learned behaviour?
  9. It's a bit slippy to begin with. Same as most new lines. Seems to work with most systems though. Are you still hitch based? It looks like the newer ropes are slightly better, but personally I'd reject being rescued by someone climbing on marlow
  10. On that basis the "neo nazi" movement must be growing by an alarming rate. I imagine it's easier when they can't challenge your opinions.
  11. Have you tried Kalimba, Matty? I've got a couple of lengths of it and so far it's my favourite. Only very slightly more stretch than Squir (which I also have) but available with a splice and a lot nicer in the hand. With either of these ropes is recommended to soak them overnight and allow to fully dry before first use to get the best out of them.
  12. Who's your youngest sons dad, mate?
  13. Credit where it's due, it was a fine peice of prose. I haven't had an erection worth mentioning since i posted that compliment. Possibly a coincidence, but I won't be taking that chance.
  14. I genuinely quite enjoyed that. It's the music Ed Sheeran would've wrote if his parents had done their job and beaten him from time to time.
  15. So you're planning a move to Thailand?
