Ahaha very good. You picked something up!

44, you're buggered then! I reckon if I worked for a firm where they told me how to do a job safely I'd probably walk. Mind you I did consider the council for a while as a cosy kind of life. No offence meant.

How old and how many fags a day?

Getting into bed after 12 beers? That might be my bedmate kicking me actually. Funnily enough I went deep sea fishing a few years ago. I caught a few Guernard (sp?) while being extremely smug about everyone else bagging up over the side. Soon as I hit terra firma I went white as a sheet and barely managed to stagger back to my apartment!

That's the expense of the weight saving... I should bloody hope so for the price. By the time it's adjusted properly I've only got 2 years left! Your apologies are much appreciated ☺️

And IME there's always more risk of damage (operator or property) whilst using a mewp. Might be down to my experience of each though.

Sod that mate. Get a real job. Not being funny but if climbings what you're into, a domestic firm will teach you a skill set you won't get working for the LA.

Teufelberger say 5.

Not at all mate. Interesting that you got that from what I said though. I know a couple of ex council lads. Good guys too, and when I hear of the nice pruning jobs that the LA chose to use a MEWP on, it bewilders me. As a climber, the bigger jobs are what we live for. To use a MEWP for what could be a great climb is beyond me. In the domestic market it rarely flies. It's rarely much quicker than a decent climber, access is often an issue, and the added expense is often a deal breaker. I've used a little nifty for some re pollards, to good effect, but the only times I've used a MEWP on a buggered tree where it was insisted, I've found it slower and much more risky. The last time I climbed out of the bucked and got into the tree out of sheer frustration.

Ah, that makes sense. Cost is not a problem in a taxpayer subsidised company. I hate them. Scares the hell outta me.
-
What? Poof.

It's when people refer to # as a "hashtag" Makes me want to kill.
-
They're expensive for a single use item. A branch is much cheaper

You probably will Mike. Although I've no idea how I'll know you. I'm guessing a handsome, fine cut, blue eyed beast of a man? Mid fifties? I'll look for me in 25 years time.

Bit crap in my opinion. Stay away and so will they. Killing animals out of fear is total bollocks

Revelation!

If they want your cash they usually do...

And you just broke the first two rules, dicksplash...

Indeed! Reckon I owe you a beer for that one Rich!

It'll be interesting to see in the future what motorised ascenders/descenders are invented. Surely it shouldn't be that hard technically?
-
Hahaha

Funny how you place such importance on a comprehensive medkit, and yet carry so little on your saddle medkit. Is celox and a tourniquet not worth a place?
-
Nice climbing Mark. Have you lost weight?
-
I'll be there. Drunk, in a corner, getting urinated on.
