  1. Mo has some brothers. I don't think anyone would complain too much if they were sent back to Somalia? Don't be too sure of that........ Perhaps they'll get luxury accommodation next door to Abu Hamza's family 🙄
  2. Done loads of these. Silver birch is a nice option. Disk up when felled and don't worry too much about splitting It's never been an issue when I've done them. Leave outdoors under cover. 👍
  3. 👍👍👍..
  4. Had to google "Homeland" ☺️gave up on telly a few years ago.. saves me a fortune in tin foil. 😱
  5. Well done Obama! Iran have just conducted a ballistic missile test. Looks like they are putting their newly acquired sanctions relief $100+billions to good use already. Talk about getting mugged off.... Did anyone seriously expect them to keep their side of the deal?
  6. Metal spike (tent peg) driven into the ground with a pulley attached at the foot of the line to divert the end of the speed line away so that the groundy can hold the tension on the line without being in the landing zone. Hope this makes sense.., 👍
  7. Just to emphasise the biased narrative of the western press, here's an article written about atrocities committed by the Palestinian Authorities. Unsurprisingly you won't read it in many western papers or news feeds. And before anyone cries "bias!!" It is written by an Arab Muslim. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/author/Khaled+Abu+Toameh
  8. That could of eaten into the profits!
  9. Sorry to hear this Jonny. If you need the lend of any saws gimme a call. Hope it gets sorted mate.
  10. Talking of education..... Watching and listening to the poisonous bile spewed out from the "tolerant inclusive" liberal protesters in the US has been something of an eye opener.
  11. It's a posh menu......
  12. Statistics don't always give the true picture. I go into prisons to give talks and bring a message of hope to guys who are trying to turn their lives around but there isn't much help available, sadly. The vast majority of prisoners are released and immediately become homeless, not a great start to their rehabilitation. The government had a solution to this. Give each prisoner one nights B&B money upon release. Now the Home Secretary can stand up in the House of Commons and report that no prisoners become homeless on release and they have "solved" the problem. 🙄
  13. Zigzag= worth its weight in gold for us older climbers. 👍
  14. iPhone 6 and iPad mainly. Sometimes I use my PC at the office.
  15. Great work, Very watchable!
  16. The ironic thing here is that having your climbing kit LOLERed by a non Arb inspector may mean that your insurance may be void in the event of a piece of kit failing due to his error. The regs state that the kit should be inspected by someone with the relevant practical and theoretical knowledge. In this case, Arb specific Hope this helps 👍
  17. I'm going to ask our director if we can buy a brand new welfare van.... £30k for a work van... for not working in. (But, don't worry, it'll get plenty of use!) I can just see his face now...😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
  18. No of course not........ It's Doris Johnson. 🙄
  19. The facts speak for themselves..., Ordinary working class Americans have had enough of crooks like Clinton and the absurd Liberal PC agenda.
  20. Hi. Do you mean MDS or MBS (min breaking strength) ? I've never LOLERed dynamic rope for tree work as we generally use static type rope for "work positioning" applications. Any climbing rope used in Arb must have a CE mark which shows it has been tested to European standards and usually has an EN 1891 (European Norm) type A rating which shows that it has a 22kn or above MBS and as such, when providing a LOLER certificate only needs to be classified as PPE. This info is to the best of my knowledge/understanding and there are others on here with greater in depth knowledge. It sounds like your LOLER guy might be referring to rock climbing or even IRATA gear.
  21. Neat rope work 👍. (Fair bit cheaper as well!)
  22. Hahaha..........
  23. I agree that Obama was a gifted orator, the only problem is that just about all of his words were empty. His farewell speech was really excellent........ if only it had been true.
  24. My American Mrs thought this was highly amusing! On a lighter note, wasn't it lovely to see Madonna, Charlotte Church, Ashley Judd and all the others demonstrating what wonderfully kind, tolerant, warm and loving human beings they really are!!
