    California is the largest sub national economy in the world.

    You’re a prepper KJ, Just in Devon rather than Texarkana!

    Yes, I’m aware of the ‘don’t ask the rich to pay their way or they’ll leave’ trope.

    Italian squad primed and ready for the World Cup.

    Don’t we pay 20% on goods anyway?

    Obviously I won’t discuss in detail on here my personal tax strategy or finances. One tip I will pass on is don’t skimp on gear/vehicles you buy through the business. Get well known, well supported brands, top spec and take care of it so that when you sell it, either to yourself or for the business it’ll go for good money.

    Yeah I know. But seriously, sometimes people think that our society just occurs by happenstance and we should get access to it for no sacrifice on our part.

    Re. The whole no tax thing. When roaming armed gangs are invading your property because there’s no police. Foreign invaders march unopposed down your high street. Infrastructure, bridges, roads etc. Become unusable through lack of investment. See what use your little bits of paper with numbers are to you then.

    Expensive landscaping I guess. Looks like North Downs Haslemere area, very affluent.

    Yeah, that’s what he was talking about…

    Better get used to it @Steve Bullman

    We’ve had the best of it. By the time most of you are 50 you’ll be living in a dystopian hellhole eating insects and taking orders from Somali slave masters.

    You love it really! Make a change having it at this time of year, less of that sort of thing I reckon, too cold to booze bare chested in pub gardens.

    So, it begins. Personally I’m looking forward to it. Don’t give a monkey’s toss about the manufactured outrage of the lbgt/etc. community. Their country, their rules. Wouldn’t set foot there myself purely cos it looks like a dump. Nevertheless, should be a good tournament, run us up to Christmas nicely. England in with a good shout, should come out of the group easy enough.

    When I first started (95/96) I worked with a guy who used SRT, ascenders, base ties all that stuff. Can’t remember exactly how he said he started using it, mountain climbing perhaps. At the time I was just learning the job and didn’t want to distract myself with other stuff so I didn’t try it out or anything. Certainly got the job done though.

    ‘More arduous than it would have been due to a series of economic own goals’ What could he be referring to?
  17. Mick Dempsey
    Albanians probably.

    1: Because they want to. 2: Because they can.

    Think you’re confusing the real father of the child and the feller of the tree when you say relieved at the verdict.
  20. Mick Dempsey
    Of course, I use some 3 plat plasticky rope for that, call it our ‘beater’ rope.
  21. Mick Dempsey
    I know, but (to rehash an old argument) The rope doesn’t move in SRT, and in ‘DRT’ there’s only one rope. Anyway, couldn’t really care, but the wife’s watching Masterchef.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Thought it was Static Rope Technique

    Oak is pretty good for getting some embers in the morning, just to get it going. During the week we’re both of to work early so we stack it up before bedtime and hope the heat carries through.
  24. Mick Dempsey
    This was a great thread btw, worth a scroll.

    ‘Only 30 hours from new’ It is an underpowered piece of crap that I regret buying, hoping to find someone as stupid as me.
