No offense but he's right. If you want to work your arse off for £100 a day (if you're really good) thats grand, but how long would you last? Sometime you get answers you don't want to hear. Having a tantrum is a pretty good indicator to prospective employers about your personality.

Is this just an exercise in spending money?

So let's confirm a suspicion of mine. You have all the gear... (Am I right so far?) -
Unless it's a poem it ain't fact, Ask Yankee Doodle...

I ate a wax candle

Think I was pissed when I offered...

Don't worry Jon, they're 'arder than us, but we tan wayyy better.

25m black pops today to rig down... Haven't felt like that since I was learning!
-
I get on well with the breathe flex, but wear a size xs, with the belt well above my hips. I've got another pair in size s and they're not as comfy. I think they're designed to be a really snug fit.

It most certainly is when it's justified! I love a good joke but if someone takes it too far they get a poke in the eye.
-
Lot of humourless people in here. Practical jokes are great fun, as long as they're well judged. Some of the ones mentioned here are ott though.

Don't sweat it, a figure eight is still more expensive than a fork and a wrap round the trunk!
-
Cheers Ewan, looks handy. Think I briefly bumped into you in the HB stand at the APF, with Tom, right?
-
Very nice Jay. Not a lot of people round here want to pay for "that little off".
-
At first I thought it was an inspired idea. Then I realised it was s lot more expensive than a figure eight.
-
Is there fuel in it?

Thought your last video was "your last video"? Nice to see a different side of tree work filmed. Cheers for posting!

The friction in a closed rope system (ddrt) can be moved (displaced) from one point to another. The friction being the force necessary to hold the climber's weight up. In a system where a natural crotch is the anchor point, the crotch will be taking say 40% of the friction, and the hitch the remainder, 60%. By using a pulley as a top anchor you are displacing almost all friction at the anchor, to the hitch, which will be taking the full weight of the climber. Hence why you burn out hitch cord faster with a pulley anchor. The percentages are obviously just to make a point, not factual.

No clue mate, was half cut and stumbled on it at half 12. Seemed pretty amateur but a good watch nonetheless. Was on free view if that's an indicator...
-
I got it mate, wasn't the point I was getting at though. It's a fair price for the work, providing you're reasonably productive and can do a couple of jobs like that a day.

Watched the Israeli one last night. Couple of good fights. One surprising title fight.

Never reduced or eliminated, just displaced, Paul.
-
Are you saying that's too cheap? 300-350 isn't bad for 4 hours work! That's what I'd be figuring! 2 of them in a day, minus 120 for a damn good groundy, I'd be happy with that!
-
Just spitting on it doesn't work in this case mate.
-
"Cleaning crabs" and "oral irrigators" Christ lads are you baiting me?
-
I do this to all my new saws as standard...
