  1. Vesp got the ban hammer. Matelot disappeared after said post.
  2. Is it going to be like ‘celebrity coach trip’ where we vote each other out? On a more serious note, really stupid idea.
  3. Our’s is in the house. But there’s also this plastic thing on the outside that they put another ‘reader’ against for some reason.
  4. Assuming I was a bystander, if you know what I mean, not actually in any danger from the times I find myself in. 1: Dinosaurs 🦕 2: Being there for the discovery of the New World, meeting American natives. 3: Roman times.
  5. Not that I’ve ever encountered.
  6. Very few, certainly next to none in domestic arb. No TPOs, if they’re your trees you do what you like.
  7. He did some grinding for me a couple of weeks back, he’s fine. As Doug said, he’s giving the old social media a bit of a rest.
  8. Muck grab I reckon, rake backwards with the tines into a pile, then pick it up (mostly!) I had to shorten the bottom tines for better ergonomics.
  9. You’ll never get out of bed if you worry too much about stuff. Give him a taste of the job, send him up some easy stuff when there’s time, keeping an eye on him of course. Single line and a flip line is enough, putting him up on a double rope system will leave him looking like a fly trapped in a spiders web and put him off for life, let the instructors waste their time with that bollocks. Once he’s qualified he can drop it and start learning.
  10. I only wish my dog came to the whistle as reliably as you flutter out of the cave every evening.
  11. Keep drinking the bottled water.
  12. It’s a visual reminder to remind everyone that they’re at war.
  13. Yeah, I read about that.
  14. Famous one of a bloke in Devon having a wank in his front room, can’t post links but it’s out there.
  15. Bugger!
  16. Bang on (except for the spelling of aerial, but you knew that and tried to lure me in with it) Most young/learning climbers should have the harness on and buckling up the spikes before you’ve even finished the sentence ‘you could run up, strip and top that pine if you like….’
  17. Sitting in a car park on an island off of Iceland. I get about a bit and love the ends of the earth stuff.
  18. Love how they’re doing it on a quad bike and a selfie stick.
  19. It’s brilliant isn’t it? I spend far too much time flying round the world looking at places I’ll never visit but always wanted to. Latest excursion is to Pitcairn Island where the survivors of the mutiny on the bounty settled. In the middle of nowhere.
  20. As the experts have said, there is no logical explanation except that you have missed some important information.
  21. It’s Bury hill Stubs, but I forgive you. View from the top looking east is worth it though!
