What is it if not learned behaviour?

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
-
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.

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.

Who's your youngest sons dad, mate?

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.

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.

So you're planning a move to Thailand?

What's your plan Rich? I fine it hard to beleive Norway is bad enough for you to contemplate returning to this godforsaken shithole

The one "current" boxer he's fought was Tommy Fumbles and he lost that so it really goes to show where he is in the grand scheme of things.

If Aus is anything to go by, I'd be denied FAC because of an argument with my bin man, whereas a someone on a terrorist watchlist would retain their firearms priveleges for fear of upsetting anyone. Two tier ring a bell?
-
No, they would buy the market wholesale and attempt to sell on for an outrageous margin. Ironically leaving firearms somehow less accessible to the general public...
-
Personally, it would restore my faith in humanity somewhat if it turned out to be an "Ahmed". As long as he wasn't just embarrassed about the clumsy mass shooting and wanted to show the shooter hope it was done...
-
I dare say it might have been prudent to completely neutralise the threat. Especially with another shooter at play. There's a saying amongst 2A advocates in the states: "I'd sooner be judged by twelve than carried by six" Fair okay to that bloke though. He'll never pay for a drink again.

Go with the thicker option if you don't want cauterised fingers every throw
