Paul. Bet it doesn't take long for that Bandit to fill the Iveco ...

Trust him more than I would Clinton (either of them). Or Obama.. Which isn't saying much, I know. My point wasn't how great Trump is, it was how it seems like the Alt-left get a free pass for acts of violence in the press and anyone who is even slightly right of centre gets painted as a nazi. Being of Jewish descent I'm obviously not fond of the hard right.

I guess my beef lately ( not with you eggs) has been how slanted the media is against Trump and how they seem to get away with it and drag a large proportion of the public with them. Not that Trump is my particular cup of tea but from where I'm sat he's certainly not as bad as he's painted out to be. The Charlottesville thing being a case in point.

I never said it did.

You mean like the wonderful job the Clinton Foundation did in Haiti after the earthquake? Socialism doesn't own the copyright on helping people.

This pretty much sums up the left wing way of doing things..... https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/christian-girl-5-sent-to-muslim-foster-parents-speak-english-arabic-tower-hamlets-london-a7916071.html%3famp

I started on a dragonfly. Very bulky harness but it was all I had. Next I got a Stein Vega which is a good comfy budget harness, If you lengthen the adjustments on the leg loops you should be able to find a comfy set up. Trial and error. It may be that the harness doesn't suit your shape. If you can get to a dealer you can try a load of different ones on and hang in them to find one that suits you. The most expensive/exotic harness won't necessarily be the best for a comfortable fit. Harnesses are very subjective.

Can't you get primer in Aspen blue?

What system are you climbing on? The short answer is no it doesn't matter from a safety critical point of view but from a practical/comfort preference point of view it could help to add another ring to the bridge.

Is 35 too old to start a career as a tree surgeon?

Nah, was in the middle of dismantling a 370ft anaglypta, one handing the 88 and my finger slipped. -

Drove past your bridge earlier Mick, didn't look like there was anyone home. -

If your fit and have good knees and back 35 isn't necessarily old to start climbing. Getting the tickets and getting in the tree is the easy part. Learning how to be efficient and skilful , like anything takes time. Like stumpy says, building a business takes a lot of time, effort and investment. All the best -

SIP progress. Comfortable and very durable. Avoid Stihl hiflex as they won't last 5 mins. Timon.

Sorry to hear of your woes. Hope you pull through and get things sorted. [emoji106] Timon.

Read in the Express that the National Trust have sacked a gardener who has worked in the same grounds for 50 years because he doesn't have any qualifications. Timon.

Yes uncontrolled immigration is a problem here, but I'm pretty sure that not the current problem in the USA, most of those people of colour have been there as long as the whites and were actually stolen from their country and taken to the USA, some may think they have more right to be there than any as a result. Bit like the Israelis in Israel then. [emoji106] Timon.

Tuefelberger do a very similar system called the CE lanyard. Timon.

Same as above, rarely use mine. 5m Marlowe with a simple prussic loop. If I used it more often I would attach a grab or VT and pulley. Really come into their own on ivy covered stems. Timon.

Or maybe the theory of evolution has provided a reason for people who simply don't want to believe. There are a great many good scientists who still hold an open mind as to whether evolution was guided and started by (an) intelligent design(er). The science "establishment" has been taken over by people who won't even entertain or permit the exploration of the possibility. Bit like Orwell's Ministry of Truth. Timon.

My Mrs is American, she likes (some of ) what trump is doing. You could never describe my wife as a racist or a facist. Trump is a wrecking ball for sure, but at least he has the minerals to call things out as they are. I.e. Bad people on both sides of the political spectrum. In this country we've been castrated by years of political correctness, we're too frightened to speak the truth for fear of offending people. (Unless they happen to be Christians or Jews) Timon.
