I’m pretty sure Germany is especially bad for this, always thought so when I lived there. I remember on a pissing wet day in Germany this guy ran through our taped off site, grabbing one of the tripod folding signs, and flung it in the river. I bombed out the tree and chased after him, but what would I really do? I got back and a groundy had found his keys. He came back 20 mins later, still in his running gear, still raining, looking around on the floor. I said excuse me a few times, he ignored me, then I said ‘excuse me, have you lost your keys’ holding them up. His eyes widened, a look of pure relief, and I tossed them over my shoulder into the river. He nodded and left. It was wonderful.

What, you making fun of East Asians is hilarious but me poking fun at a human trafficking rapist is just too far? News flash: yer patters shite. Peck aff.

Tait was mentioned in the thread. How is a racist screen shot from you ever a defensible response? The fact your drivel is still tolerated in here is a damning reflection of this site.

Uhhhh, this is news…? Away with you, Johnsond, think you’ve had a few too many again.

Tate was mentioned recently and this sprang to mind…

I liked this one, he hit the nail on the head with the point that Musk is exploiting the victims of childhood abuse. He’s an utter scum bag. He doesn’t even do anything of value, I bet he’d never had an original idea in his life. Farage is a spineless streak of piss but even so it’s embarrassing to see him getting his knickers in a twist for his American friends.

Got along semi ok with Senas for a while, before moving to Protos coms. Personally I wouldn’t issue lads with Sena/motorcycle/diy coms in their helmets. In order to make those work you’ve had to modify a piece of ppe which imo puts you in some murky water and potentially opens you up to some liability.

tbf after reading some posts on here earlier in the year I got a tracker from gpsbob and… what a waste of money. Far from the 3 month battery life or whatever they advertise, they last about a week. Doug - sorry to hear that. I’ll keep an eye out north of the forth. There was a fella indulging in a bit of robbing here in Fife a few years back, someone spotted their saw on eBay and found the lad. I believe after a brief confrontation in a pub he scuttled back down south. Hope you’ve similar closure in time.

I don’t have any major issues with it, but there might be an aspect of rope selection there? My go to is 10mm rigging line and we work up from there. I do some pretty big rigging with 10mm too. I think aluminium being softer you get a little more friction from it, so how you use it does need a bit of adjustment potentially.

As a caver I’d just like to set the record straight, we don’t use fig 8’s.

Peds have a look at the ftc bollards. They’re a bit more pricey than the competition but well worth it imo. Being alloy they’re light and dissipate heat really well. I’ve got the micro one and have done some pretty meaty removals with it, but it’s just as good for lighter rigging on reductions etc. Comes in a handy box which pretty much lives in the truck, and can fit a sling and xs impact block in there too.

A husky dealer recommended not using bio chain oils unless strictly necessary as they reckoned they gum up on the bar when used irregularly. So I’d guess they’re potentially thicker?

It might be factual, but then the only reason trump is in business is because he inherited money. And he needs all that generational wealth to stay in business as he’s failed miserably at it. As for the farmers strikes, it’s a bunch of millionaires in wellies complaining about taxes. Nothing unusual but it’s certainly brazen. Pretty entitled but the rich often are. If it’s that crap being a farmer then they should probably sell their £3m asset and be happy instead…?

Presumably with the introduction of inheritance tax wealthy land owners won’t be interested in buying up farm land as a tax loop hole though. Which would in turn make it a less attractive investment, lower demand, lower the value making it more affordable and actual farmers are able to pass on more land tax free.
