  1. God I remember every swing park had a ' Maypole ' with chains dangling down . Yet another pagan festival hijacked by Christians
  2. Chainsaw not a problem . French customs took my knife off me ( was quite a large survival type though )
  3. Fabulous post . There is no doubt that corvids are a very special animal , surrounded by mystique and legend since time began . Someone who has spent any amount of time immersed in the countryside will know this from experience . I woke up one morning to find my old dog had died in the kitchen , heartbroken i looked out the window to find rooks had gathered in the trees in my backdoor , something i had never seen before or since . An interesting little fact i came across about the Raven (also corvid family) is that they are the only animal in arctic Canada / Alaska that dont change coat colour , hibernate etc during winter , they just turf it out regardless of how bad it gets .
  4. Haha cool , thought it was nothing at first when one or two went down
  5. exactly the same here , getting sick / pissed off with constant niggles , left shoulder atm . Will watch for sure ..
  6. Amazing photo that.. To me 30m + tickets mean Jack s__t .
  7. What if the guy that got punched deserved it though . Let's be honest I bet it was handbags at dawn ..
  8. Yet this does seem incredible . What on earth is going on ? All talk and no arb ?
  9. You have just answered your own question I think . Good luck for the test

  11. yep . i shattered my left knee after taking up wrestling . was way too tired after climbing all day . I would say go for it , but be very very careful and dont over do it , it could cost you your lively hood , it almost did ( it may still yet ) mine .
  12. Bet he makes out he meant that ...
  13. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask ..
  14. Yes this was what I actually meant
  15. Wolfgarten are also excellent for taking up the tree with you . Very light , flexible saw head , snap deadwood out with them ..
  16. have to admit now big , horrible Lombardy's i ladder up as high as i can then spike the rest . Sorry but its the way it is sometimes ( i try and only put the spikes in enough as to get me up and anchored in ) PS . Big money paying private customer then this is a different ball game ..
