  1. If you're gonna crane a mewp in why not just crane the tree out?
  2. It depends on the company, but the Technical Guide for the use of cranes in arboriculture makes clear allowances for this.
  3. The petzl flow is just a rebranded Cousin Black Widow which is my favorite ddrt set up so far. Honeys did a good job of milking the cover before the second splice so had zero issues there. It's also helps spread out rope wear so you're not constantly using the same end
  4. It's pretty handy if you use a zz/chicane and swap between SRT and DDRT regularly. It's also handy if you use the tail of your line as a second system
  5. Cousin black widow or atrax Courant kalimba You might have to cut the id tag off
  6. That would work if the gov allocated funding that way, but then smokers/ drinkers should be getting the best treatment by your logic. Instead they waste money left right and center whilst looking after themselves. Call me a cynic but it hasn't stopped people from doing weed, coke or worse. It would genuinely be better to make everything legal. That way its controlled, taxable and you don't get shit laced with the stuff that can actually kill you. I don't think they're would be a significant rise in usage.

    You're not quite all there, are you mate?
  8. The only reason Rishi is considering it is that very few young people smoke anymore and most vape. I'll wager there are no such restrictions on that. I personally do both. Ride or die.
  9. Ban it entirely or don't, except the tax on tobacco is something ridiculous and a good earner for HMRC.
  10. It's damn near impossible to work on those 500i carbs...
  11. What kind of duration are you looking for?
  12. Where are you based?
  13. There's no need to be gay about it.
  14. If i were in the business of making faggots I'd start with Bolam. I like an easy job.
  15. Could just as easily have been
  16. You're giving him too much credit. He just couldn't match his face cuts up, like 80% of the tree surgeons I've worked with.
  17. Don't start, get the AA involved and we'll all have to buy another climbing line again.
  18. Is she some kind of wimp?
  19. Our you can save your money, buy a rental, and your tenants can not pay rent and cause thousands of damage before you go through the lengthy court process to evict them. If it goes well they've saved money, taken on risk, and after 25 years they reap some reward. Utter bastards. A few whingeing bitches on here.
  20. Great, I've now got a video of a spider on my phone.
  21. If no-one else can help you and if you can find them, maybe you can hire DART D.A.R.T. International UK – Disaster Arborist Response Team DARTINTERNATIONALUK.ORG
