  1. I'd be worried about scratched nipples mind...
  2. Did those 5 seconds hurt? The Schwabish looks horrible! Can't imagine that releasing easily, though I've never tried it mind. Not getting on with the ZZ?
  3. Nice vid Jesse. Looked like a fun climb. Still loving the hook? What was the point of clipping your lanyard onto your line above your wrench?
  4. Same question again I'm sure I'll get on with it fine. I've climbed on 11mm for so long now it's all I'm used to. Bought out my old 13mm XTC for a play and it was horrible with a VT!
  5. Ladders. If the trees too tall just ratchet another set on top. Wins for me.
  6. Hope so. I'm used to true 11mm though so hopefully it won't be too fat.
  7. I hope the Tachyon does you well, because I've just ordered a length for myself!
  8. If it helps I caught a lovely clip of me clipping my rope with my topper on rundown yesterday on my nice rotten acacia takedown!
  9. What did Sean Connery say after a book fell on his head? "I can only blame myshelf"
  10. I knew you were a man who appreciated a perfect length. It's annoying how easy he makes it look. The only reason I watch his videos now is in the hope of hearing a "bollocks" as he snaps a growth point. I may be watching for a while
  11. Haven't you got a £20,000,000 tax return to be getting on with
  12. Lovely! Only problem with bacon is that an hour later I have serious drymouth. Other than that it's practically a superfood!
  13. Okay Ted, it was just a cynical comment meant in jest. Im not going to get into a debate on a subject which I have little interest or knowledge about.
  14. Haha I doubt that! Probably just the cynic in me, but I couldn't help notice that an inventor who sells a product (Easy Lift Guy) is all for capitalism and shuns socialism. Either way it was meant in a light hearted manner
  15. It's her property! She can take what she likes!
  16. Sure, but for every writer who has success like here there are thousands that don't make a living. You want a modest wage for hard work, fine, be a bin man, marine, tree cutter or whatever. She wrote (I imagine) not because it was a sure fire way of becoming rich, but because it is her passion. You can't begrudge the fact that she has done extraordinarily well from it!
  17. An entrepreneur who believes in capitalism!? I've seen it all now!
  18. Yeah, well I had coffee from a flask. 3 Sainsbury's large cookies, 2 pork and sweet onion sausage rolls, and a packet of garlic and herb chicken. Breakfast was 2 cups of filter coffee and two roll ups. Proper French style. 'Ave that!
  19. Do you have any problems with excess cover, having both ends spliced? I milked over 1 metre of excess cover from my Blaze when I got it. If I'd had it spliced both ends it would have had nowhere to go!
  20. I don't, I'm 5'8", 26, and 9.5 stone. I was 10 stone but viral gastroenteritis sorted that out!
  21. Talk about "Laws" which are apparently "statutes" or "acts" instead? Sorry, couldn't resist
  22. When I'm good I make a smoothie in the morning with bananas, blueberries and a good couple of teaspoons of peanut butter. Tried having steak and eggs for breakfast once (even got up early) and physically couldn't manage to swallow it. Lunch is chicken or mackerel usually, twice a day. That sounds disgusting Steve. Healthy I'm sure, but I'll bet it's a frothy pond water like concoction. I used to make a "5 a day smoothie" with spinach, kale, purple sprouting broccoli, orange and something else, with a few eggs for good measure. I could practically chew it. It didn't taste as bad as I thought, but the effect it had on my bowels meant I didn't dare fart for the rest of the day!
  23. Haha To be honest I don't really find it any harder on the hands.
  24. Only DDRT for now, gonna play with SRT some time this year
