You should be able to shoot trespassers in front of their families, and invoice them for the ammunition... Well somebody had to say it and Steve banned the last guy.

How did becoming VAT registered change your business?
Joe Newton replied to Excels1or's topic in General chat
Yeah you can. For most people VAT registration is something to avoid. For some it's an opportunity. I'm in a similar mindset to Donnie. As a freelance climber i obviously earn far more than him, and get girls with bigger titties. In seriousness, my expenses are probably a good bit lower, but just for the CAPEX reclaim and the vat off my fuel it would save me a bit each year. The only issue is I'll have to start paying an accountant. My dad does my books (overqualified) but isn't chartered. Another benefit is that your tax return is kept up to date alongside your quarterly vat returns. -
Are they're no homeopathic remedies for life threatening bleeds/ heavy trauma?

A colleague of mine is a purveyor of the devil's lettuce. His fiance was round one day whilst he was at work. He came home to find her on the floor experiencing some pretty advanced state of anxiety. Ambulance was called and in the aftermath he discovered an empty packet of very strong edibles, disguised as a popular chocolate treat. Apparently one square was enough for my seasoned colleague, whereas his fiance had eaten the whole bar (10x the recommended dose). To this day she beleives she had an undiagnosed heart condition, and he's too terrified to tell her the truth.

Interesting, I've been dead against one but this changes things. How much can you make in a batch and how long does it take? I was looking into getting a dehydrator but for the price of the Foodi Max i might as well go for that instead

As a kid i once decided to see what happened when you filled a bathroom cabinet with deodorant and lit it. Hospital happens. Does that count?

Anyone got any experience of these? Are they comfortable at bar legnth?

Contact climbers were charging £150 back then and expected to be bloody good though

No guarantees on used saws mate, especially yours 🤣 I'm hoping to part ex my ported 357xpg for a 550 with cash my way. Got a local lad that might go for it. Should pay for most of a new 181. If that doesn't come off I'll get in touch 👍
-
Yes and no, his work is incredibly niche. Not comparable to our kind of work. Plus he's living his best life out there so to hell with that guy.

I'm looking into buying my brother in law a saw. He's getting a log burner put in and i can keep him in firewood but i don't have the time to process it for him. Looking for something equivalent to the MS181, They're damn near £300 these days so are there any other options worth considering? Was hoping to pay around the £200 mark.

You could retire your treemotion for the Austrian basement.

Price over the lifespan of a harness shouldn't really be a factor if you're using it regularly.
-
Yeah i beleive so. Nothing to stop you shortening the rope bridge with a barrel knot and trimming the excess. The adjustable bridge isn't really a feature i get hard for either, but there are some other well thought out features that look pretty cool. The mounting system for a FA kit and the knee ascender system look cool.
-
Except the new treemotions won't have any DMM metalwork, so you'll be getting Chinese ally. I've seen a few reports of people having issues with this stuff already
-
Yeah they're simple enough to install yourself. With the Senas the wires to the the earphones are a serious weak point and never last long. The guy I use (retired British Aerospace engineer) upgrades the wires to some armored ones which are way more suitable. Here is the one i keep in the van for plant operators etc.
-
I get Senas professionally installed by a local guy. Normally get at least 3 years out of them which is about the lifespan of a lid anyway. I keep a spare sena headset (not on a helmet) in my van for crane work. I wouldn't dream of doing some jobs without comms these days. Especially crane work where often the driver can't see you at all.

I think we need to pay attention to this.

Let me explain how this goes. You'll keep on posting inflammatory garbage. We'll keep on humouring you for our fun. You'll take it to far (as is always the case) and inevitably get banned. We'll forget about you and the next oxygen theif will take your place. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Make me, you thirsty little troll.

That would be quite funny, but he's probably just making it up for another bit of attention.

Everyone has b+e now.

Rubbish

I read someone on FB who was running 42" on his 500i and it pulled it fine. Think he was American though so probably thick as f*ck.
