    Get some carrot sticks involved. Solid snack

    It'll be worth it to see your willy again though.

    Power line: contact DNO and they'll either drop the line for you or do the work for you. Phone line: buy a couple of BT junction boxes, snip the line inside of the tensioning wire, unwind and stow. Reconnect after. Make sure it isn't fibre before you snip.

    After 6 weeks off paid. "Should we go back to work not for a bit before October half term?" "Nah reckon it's time for a training day" Work shy miscreants

    I might get qualified to assess for ADHD, reckon I'd clean up with you lot

    I grab the Rab cycling jackets from an outlet store in Derbyshire. £50 down from £110 Well fitting, waterproof, breathable and packable. Not too expensive to cry about if you rip them. I buy a couple at a time.

    This was the first one that i found hard, but then it was out of the blue/fine the day before. Having to explain it to my daughter and deal with an upset mrs was worse. Like you say, i was relieved when the barbituates went in and he was peaceful.

    Sorry to hear Alex, I've just had mine euthanised. Came home with severe head trauma. Hit by something fast. I'm not a cat person really, i wanted a dog and the mrs wanted a cat, so the natural compromise was 2 cats. That was 7 years ago. Didn't like the greedy shite when he was alive but i still found it surprisingly hard when the time came.

    @Rich Rule so you're not allowed optics of any kind? Irons only?

    Maybe not for you

    SRT climbers also have much bigger willys, increasing the loading on the anchor point

    It's not often I'm for more red tape, but agreed on this, purely for some of the absolute scrap I've seen dragged behind vans (and dragged myself when I was employed). Dodgy wouldn't begin to describe some of it.

    That's okay, it wouldn't be the first time. Think is, my mrs can now legally tow 3.5t. She struggles to reverse a qashqai.

    This thread is a good argument for the need for trailer training.

    Who's decision was it to try and fell out that way?

    Technically the first P in PPE is Personal. I'm very selective about who i let use my kit. Firstly I have to know they're competent and responsible. Secondly I have to know they can afford to replace whatever I lend them.

    Through luck, IMO. That goal in the 91st minute was pure chance and it saved us. We had fresh subs ready and Southgate left it way too late.

    As was I, which i thought was obvious enough in my post. Weigh up in your mind how you might feel about reading about that tree on the news where someone had been injured or worse.

    Balls to the customer. If he's more concerned about his hedges than the safety of others, I'd say you have a higher obligation to the general public.

    Call him an alchy, John.

    Hardly an exclusive accolade. Requirements: politely disagree. Result: thinly veiled empty threats.

    Feck off Steve

    Don't keep me in suspense Eggs, what's going to happen "one day"?
  25. Joe Newton
    No thanks, I'm not in here getting triggered every time somebody disagrees with me. You sound very angry at the world Eggs. I think you'd benefit from talking to a counsellor.
