It’s going to be a Boris / Farage rampage at GE. THAT is why it’s being blocked at every turn.

Nigel said so..... ?

Amber Remain quit, mheeh... The reason theme all running scared of a GE is the Boris / Farage coalition that would steamroller the result. Remainers couldn’t stoamach that could they....

Just walked through the kitchen and caught a moment of what Mrs J was watching - some geezer firing crossbow bolts at a bint holding a balloon in her mouth. Walked out shaking head thinking - HSE, seriously, priorities?

Hopefully they’ll drop a comment in. “Myth busters”, openness & engagement being a key component of ‘taking industry along’ with current developments and the like... ??

If the majority opinion is anything to go by (it’s not Brexit after all) the AA will have to reverse their previous nelsonian blind eye approach and insist upon 2 ropes at all future accreditation assessments which will either result in: (a) a massive uptake of 2 line climbing, (b) a massive uptake of 2 line climbing for assessment which is then immediately discarded for day-to-day Ops or (c) a massive drop off of professional outfits seeking accreditation.

Had a bit of a result last night.... Wife started the ‘battle of wills’about Lighting up. I said “don’t panic, soon be 1 Nov then I’ll fire it up” She fell into my trap! ? Her reply “1 Oct not 1 Nov” So that gives me at least month until I have to get the mankini on ?

Well it’s about time you read the Ts & Cs chopper.... Payment due after 14 days

If only we could have multiple emojis - I want to laugh & like that! ?????????️‍

Fixed ?

Maybe he’ll join his sister in BP?

Jeremy Corbyn walks into a Bank to cash a cheque. As he approaches the cashier he says, "Good morning, Ms could you please cash this cheque for me?" Cashier:"It would be my pleasure. Could you please show me your ID?" Corbyn :"Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am Jeremy corbyn, leader of the Labour Party. Cashier:"Yes, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers and requirements of the legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing ID." Corbyn: Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am." Cashier: "I am sorry, mr corbyn, but these are the bank rules and I must follow them." Corbyn,"Come on please, I am urging you, please cash this cheque." Cashier: "Look sir, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his cheque." "Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and made a fabulous shot where the tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed his cheque. So, sir, what can you do to prove that it is you and only you?" Corbyn stands there thinking and thinking and finally says, "Honestly, my mind is a total blank...there is nothing that comes to my mind. I can't think of a single thing. I have absolutely no idea what to do. I don't have a clue." Cashier: "Will that be large or small notes , Mr Corbyn. ?.... .....??

The silence surrounding grooming gangs | Coffee House BLOGS.SPECTATOR.CO.UK Who is allowed to be part of the #MeToo movement? I ask because on Friday five men were found guilty of horrific...

Didn’t realise you’d fallen out over something personal. Fair play.

What is it with you 2?

He’s totally on top of his brief and knows it. Greening not standing again - Boo Hoo, see ya, leave your tears at the door.

As an aside, just finished the worst ever neighbour from hell job imaginable. Even with some of the most relaxed, laid back, professional boys (myself excluded) it tested my patience to the extreme! We were literally watched, photographed, videoed the whole 3 days by lunatics with hard hats, walkie talkies, deck chairs and hard hats. Any opportunity for criticism and interference was pounced upon: shouting directives at the climber, negotiating with the tree owner and generally being a total PITA. How i held my composure came as a massive surprise not only to the boys, but also to me! Ive never been quite so close to cutting someone’s head off with a blunt chain.... And that’s where it’ll be policed (as is the case with HSE prosecutions for dodgy roofers - curtain twitchers with a camera) That and post incident investigations (which you have to pay for BTW ?)

So what you’re actually highlighting Mark, is that someone that recognises a system is flawed and wants to straighten it out, is still bound by that system until it is straightened out.... Mmmmm..... Im with you as regards the inequities of SFP, but the only way that’s gonna change is out of the EU. Have you lost sight of the logic in your relentless anti Tory narrative?

Sorry, Paul, I pressed send before I’d finished

That’s important Khrushchev (that was spell check not me ?), but a bit tangential to potentially making working practice more awkward, cumbersome and with no guarantee of being safer. Relates more to training/passion/professionalism and time/money constraints rather than whether an additional rope is a step forward.

I did see that group Paul. Maybe that’s a part of the problem? there is a forestry group, a timber industry group, an ancient and veteran tree group..... Yet Arb is side lined into the (swear word) gardeners group? Mate, seriously?

I haven't copied and sent to my MP yet Tom but I will. I also thought I'd see if there is an all party parliamentary group that could be targeted which might have greater effect than individual regional MPs. After trawling through the pages of APPGs and having found there is one for just about anything from Prostitution & the Global Sex Trade to Cider, and a couple of Forestry / Timber industry groups, there is naff all for Arb. Maybe the Working at Height APPG might be the right place to fire this into (page 1191 of the link)- if they even think arb is worth a thought. https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmallparty/190731/register-190731.pdf The index is on page 193.
