I'm sure you're jumping to conclusions Mark, it's not like he's black.

It's a copy of Battle Royale, but with relatable white faces. I didn't mind Jennifer Lawrence though.

Are you the same Conrad who sold me a set of spikes in a motorway service station over a decade ago?

What else am I supposed to do while I watch the chipper pigs labour to clear my glorious work?

Both my SIP trousers have a pocket above the right knee for my phone and lighter. Left thigh pocket for trauma dressing and baccy. Front hip pockets are useful when not climbing for change/keys/pocket knife. None of those are any good to me in the van. Never used the rear pockets or that daft one for a combi spanner
-
Funnily enough I was once asked to review some arbotec gear, including their trousers. The first iteration had 8 pockets, but that was the least of the problems.

Bet they'll be warmer than my SIPs
-
They look weird, one pocket isn't enough and you can't take anything those Honey's bumsniffers say to get more free shit seriously.
-
Don't like the fact that Bolam and I would technically fit into the same size trousers.
-
Very nice John, not much tidy up to do after that either. I trust its earning its keep then?
-
No problem, I was asking for suggestions. Thank you for your input.

Cheers buddy, it's torn the front bumper off the volvo and a load of fluid pissed everywhere but hopefully it's washer fluid not rad. All fine, the other driver was pretty shaken but I think it's worse when you know you've caused the accident. The driver that hit me had front rear dashcams so they might get the other driver that didn't stop who caused him to crash into me, but it also clearly shows him changing lanes into me, so insurance should be pretty cut and dry. Incredibly I was actually on the phone (hands free) to the police at the time of the collision, reporting a potential jumper hanging over the overpass. The whole m1 was closed minutes later. You couldn't write it 🙄

I got side swiped on the M1 today, a vehicle moving right to left was trying to avoid someone doing the same to him and clipped across my front bumper. It's got me looking at getting a dash cam installed in my van. I can't afford not to really. I was wondering if anyone has successfully mounted a rear facing dash cam onto a panel van. It seems like a pain and there's not a lot of options out there on line. Forward facing only is better than nothing, but I thought I'd see if anyone had done similar

Complaint of chainsaw noise from my property from County council

I meant for your dad's black and decker 🤣 Love my 357 but realistically it's not much lighter than the 500. At some point I'll swap it for a 50cc saw. I'll miss it though -

How much should an owner of a tree business be on per year?
Joe Newton replied to Clutchy's topic in General chat
Firstly, it's doubtful you'd be capable of being a freelance climber earning this rates. Secondly, the climbers charging the figures you've suggested aren't earning that. Kit, travel costs, cancellations etc take a pretty large chunk out of that top end. The answer to your question will vary with every person you ask, but I agree with your estimate, it's not worth doing for less, which is why I don't. -
Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work you can always throw it at them. Boris the Blade
-
That looks promising. 3 year warranty too so could possibly have a new one each year 😁
-
Got a few ryobi batteries. Not really interested in battery though, 2stroke gets you more bang for your buck.
-
I'm after a 2 stroke multi tool for using round the garden. Strimmer/long reach trimmer is what I need. Being a freelance climber I have no need for the pro options for work, and can't justify spending the money for my own personal use. Has anyone bought any of the cheaper options? I'm really hoping to spend no more than £300.

Many a true thing said in jest mate!
