  1. Oddly enough I have those slings, albeit more brightly coloured. Picked them up in HBs last time I was over. I tried getting into the habit of using them, but fell into the old ways with just a fixed eye krab. I will have another go when we restart work in March.
  2. Wordle 1,342 4/6 🟩🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  3. You’ve changed man, and not for the better.
  4. I wish!
  5. Wheels locked when it moved? (Skidding)
  6. The bridge ring application is probably the main thing. TBH I’m not going to knock it as my knowledge of modern climbing stuff is limited.
  7. How’s the work? Adjusted ok to the 9-5 life?
  8. What is it’s purpose? ok, just googled, I get it now. I suppose a maillon with a loctited thread would have been used.
  9. You should try getting Velcro straps and wraps for those spikes.
  10. How long before someone pulls their own cock off wanking? ’it felt like the Terminator giving me a hand job, then……..’
  11. Why, to ask if they can pinch any of their workers?
  12. Practically de rigeur I’m told.
  13. Might as well get the terminology right, then you can hang around in bars and impress tree workers. You’re ‘splitting’ the logs
  14. Wait till they try and split euc by hand. They’ll end up throwing it through your window.
  15. Wipe it off with a cloth, put them aside for a day for it to dry out, then just use them.
  16. When we’re in town and go out for a coffee with Igor he’s ok with other dogs until we sit down at a table. Then within a couple of seconds he establishes that this is now ‘our’ territory and no dog can come with 5 or 6 mètres without agression being shown from him. As soon as we stand up to leave he’s back to being ok with other dogs. Funny little bastard he is.
  17. I didn’t lecture her, just got on with it tbh. I didn’t do her any favours on the price, let me put it that way.
  18. No pics, but yesterday I went to look at a job, rang the bell at the gate, dog started barking inside and I noticed the door handle going up and down. Eventually the old lady comes out and we spend a few minutes in the front garden looking at trees. Then we go to the back, I see a malinois (accompanied by an Aussie shepherd) barking at me and jumping up at the French window type door. As we’re yakking about the trees at the rear I keep an eye on the French door, to my horror I see the handle moving, the door opening and the malinois (followed by the other dog) exiting the house at top speed straight towards me! I covered my genital area with my briefcase as it launched itself at me, then ensued a lot of screaming with the woman trying to catch the dogs while the malinois kept trying to get behind me to get at my hamstrings, only breaking off periodically to fight with the Aussie shepherd, presumably about who was going to kill me! Anyway peace broke out and I got the job. I’m ok with dogs, and I know if it really meant it I’d have been in real trouble. But it was no picnic.
  19. Wordle 1,340 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Going nowhere then….inspiration!
  20. Did you think guerilla was gorilla? That is so cute! I used to think that when I was really little listening to the news. Mental pictures of Gorilla armies.

    This was my understanding as well. I don’t want a ported saw mind, I like hearing things too much. Plus in domestic arb they’re not necessary and I think the insane noise alienates clients and walk by potential clients. As Mark says, sharpening is a discipline worth practicing.
  23. What are you doing with the land?
