What do you use to tie off your rigging blocks?
TIMON replied to Top Cat's topic in Rigging and roping
Tenex whoopie on small stuff. Split tail or large Marlow whoopie on bigger bits. -
I know that BIFFA who use the in-vessel composting method (partial vacuum -25% air pressure and moisture added to speed up the process) are always quite vigilant about preventing knotweed getting in. Apparently their processes don't kill the rhizomes off. They achieved a British Standard for their composted end product and wouldn't be to chuffed to see JKW sprouting out of it.

I thought you could tow a sub 750kg trailer (read chipper) behind a "car" (read 3.5t tipper) No tacho, O license and on a new car licence? According to the laymans guide to towing And on the DVSA guidelines. Am I missing something?

Also. It's a good idea to mark the date when each item enters service, particularly textiles such as ropes, harness and cord. Buttons do a rope marking kit, but your Loler examiner should be able to help you if the original markers come off (which they often do).

Man fined £112k for illegally felling trees
TIMON replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Trees and the Law
Does he get to keep the timber? If he does then he will have paid £560 per cube. Hard to make money buying it in at that price. -
VOSA/DVSA police and customs and excise work in multi agency teams near us. 3.5t trucks and trailers are their favourite quarry. We got issued with a couple of prohibition notices with a time limit to get the problems fixed. Having a good attitude to them when they pull you can mean the difference between a warning or points/fines.

Boris Johnson says the UK will stand together with the international community...... stand and err...... well, just stand there. What an utterly pointless statement. At least Trump has had the sense not to tweet anything.

Let's face it, immigration and multiculturalism have been done to death on this thread (and others) it's extremely rare, if ever that anyone is going to change their opinions or world view just by reading someone else's conflicting opinion on a forum.

Never got round to doing the tickets for a mewp. We've always managed without but I can definitely think of a few jobs that we should have used one on. Given the choice I'd rather spend on a good hiab trailer to speed things up.

Failing that ,there's always Bartletts...

It would be genuinely interesting to actually know for sure what their political leanings were. Maybe they are all just selfish and cynical, maybe most of them are remainers. Not all Tories are into tax evasion anymore than all labour supporters cloth cap wearing champions of social justice. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jan/20/labours-new-members-mostly-wealthy-city-dwellers-leaked-report

It still works..... (kind of).....

Out there you can get deported if you make a rude gesture to the wrong person when driving. Sounds like a good idea to me.,... I'd get to work quicker with that much less traffic on the road.......

Probably not. I think it's the old TAPATALK one.

iPhone 6. They haven't worked for ages. I just go to web view.

I go to the app initially because the timeline is "instant access" but if I want to watch a video or if I get one of the new email alerts I go to the mobile site which is where all the excellent new features are. Really love the new site. As expected, it took a bit of getting used to but on the whole from a users point of view it's great. [emoji106][emoji106]

Nice job, looked like some tidy sized picks there.

Hopefully in that order....

Biffa. composting site at Etwall Derby DE65 take green waste, brash and chip. They have a weigh bridge. Not sure what they charge.

Many people already see it that way already. [emoji107] Funnily enough, as I mentioned Orde Wingate earlier. Here is a quote from him from when he used to "drink in that pub." "Nowadays people seem to imagine that impartiality means readiness to treat lies and truth the same, to hold white as bad as black and black as good as white. I, on the contrary, believe that without integrity a man had much better not approach a problem at all." Orde Wingate 1903-1944
