  1. Can't tell if you mean for crying or rubbing one out... For what it's worth I did both... ...at the same time.
  2. Nice video. Only watched the Holm Oak, I'll watch the other one after Game of Thrones. Loving the crab on the rigging line. Nice to see I'm not the only one who'll admit to it
  3. Tell yer groundie to stop straightening his hair!
  4. That's a funny looking Spiderjack.
  5. What's the benefit of a hollow spindle?
  6. If you don't get any buyers Matty, PM me and I'll buy it.
  7. Nah, he earned the money at the same party. Pretty mouth on that one.
  8. Don't know who you mean. I've never had a problem with husky bolts
  9. Your a big lad ain't ya? If my girly wrists can cope there shouldn't be a problem.
  10. Haha I have a good feeling about this.
  11. Give it up mate. A bolt coming loose on someone's saw doesn't make yours any less crap
  12. Don't hold back, Pete! Tell us how you feel! Haha Legend. It's ironic that I got called a wind up merchant in your last thread!
  13. It's the same nationwide, and it's all academic. It's as if having a bloke who did four days training on site is a "get out of jail free" card. My harness first aid kit contains a roll up and a dirty magazine. If I have to use it, I want to make it count.
  14. Shouldn't that be a double "L"?
  15. You're gonna have to explain that one to me...
  16. Beg your pardon Sir. I forgot how clean you worked. How many days a week do you have a second climber who is competent in rescue with a spare climbing kit, rescue accessories etc? Thought so. Mind you, all rescuing you would involve is four quick steps... ...up a ladder!
  17. I'd use whatever the smallest ground saw you have is for climbing. Harness: £150 45m rope: £110 3m prussik cord: £5 2 carabiners: £25 Climbing lid: £50 S/h spikes: £60 Total £400 Plenty left over to play with. Cut 5m from your main line for a lanyard. 3m of hitch cord should make 2 prussiks.
  18. There has to be a joke somewhere here about a "drains man" and "being pushed out"
  19. Vitriol? More than welcome by me!
  20. Because he bought it knowing the tree was there, and assuming he parents weren't related before marriage has the common sense to know that trees occasionally get bigger?
  21. Cheers bro
  22. That'd be sweet if you could. Gonna make one for one of the lads at work. Got the main part spliced but it doesn't retrieve well like yours.
  23. Got any more photos of that, Jesse?
  24. I'm the opposite, I've recently gone from 11mm velocity and blaze to 11.5mm Tachyon Not sure if I like it. Feels bulky.
  25. Fair enough, but you're a tree bloke, who knows and understands this. Many folk might not even realise, but most would be open to discussion at least.
