    This one really annoys me.

    Spent plenty on it I'm cutting my losses and you'll have to fix my bodges

    I've found them to have more grip on wet grass than my mates bfgs, as the less aggressive tread will slide on grass whereas his tore the turf up. Like I said their on road performance is bloody good. I wanted some capable off road tyres without sacrificing day to day driving.

    I went for the coopers over the bfgs as apparently they've got better manners on wet tarmac, which I spend more time on than mud. Haven't been stuck yet.

    How does your carbon footprint compare then?

    Even me?! Thanks for your work on my kit mate. Even more so for your good advice and tolerance for my daft questions.

    Tiny echo!

    I had spud bypass the CAT in the exhaust which has certainly improved pickup and it pulls stronger through the cut

    Mick, swapping to the tiny chain and bar is the most important mod you'll do on that saw. Get a magnifying glass with a lamp on it and a proper file guide for the tiny file to help. It's like buying a fast car and driving it with the handbrake half on otherwise.

    You're onto a loser there mate. Let the fuckwits work for people who are happy to pay them. Be thankful of the clients you have that are happy to pay for professionalism. Or to look at it another way we need people setting the bottom of the grade curve. If you're somewhere in the middle of that curve and the bottom vanished guess where you're left!

    Well I've not been hit in the face by a 200 so I must be doing something right!
  11. Joe Newton
    Except they don't open wide enough for anything on the tm harness.

    Why only the Muslim terrorists?

    The onus is on the climber here for sure. I've seen climbers with no less that four of those shiny dmm ones on their saddle! I've got one on my left side fire hanging things and don't get too much bother as its round the back and usually locked. The ropeguide that normally hangs off it can be taken off without opening the clip. My saw clip up is a large caritool with the gate removed. It's been on there since I've had the harness and happily holds a 66 but would break with a decent amount of pressure

    Yup, of my own free will, not bleating afoot how the forum offends my sensibilities.
  15. Joe Newton
    Nobody is forcing you to participate Andy.

    I disagree. I recall posts of yours about leaving multiple pegs on the way up to descend on, and about how you would use a pole saw to take the top out of a dead tree whilst being tied in be beneath it. I'm sure there are others too. That is not conducive of a professional climber. It points to somebody who's figured out bits on their own without having had proper guidance or training to a decent standard. It's not a personal attack, but when people who are clearly out of their depth with proper tree work start dishing out poor advice on a forum, it's frankly irritating and downright dangerous to people who know no better.

    You know what I wrote. I doubt Matty will deny there was fault there.
  18. Joe Newton
    Strange attitude that. When done right I'd say it's not dangerous at all.
  19. Joe Newton
    Bloody hell mate you must really have been trying!
  20. Joe Newton
    This is part of the problem. Amateurs commenting on how a job should be done.
  21. Joe Newton
    I think it would have been a solution to a problem that shouldn't have existed anyway.
  22. Joe Newton
    What makes you think that leaving the chip made the job cheaper? It costs most companies nothing to get rid of chip. It's further tinge to have to chip into a truck then shovel it into tonne bags.
  23. Joe Newton
    Yup, all he did wrong was forget to use a ratchet strap...
  24. Joe Newton
    Yup, I watch porn like a champion, but guess what, I can never find batteries in the house.
  25. Joe Newton
    Bloody hell, he was right!? I was quite literally baffled by bullshit! Yes but evidently they're not too strict about that.
