Woah woah woah....thats far too sensable for this thread-your either a right wing nazi or a leftie loony! This attack on corporations and globalisation by the banks is just a step too far.... I 100% agree arbogrunt... Great post

Longevity if your refering to the pfanners,but dont think some brands of expensive trousers will last longer than cheaper ones as it just not the case for some. Arbortecs spring to mind as do stihl hiflex

If your only doin part time ground work and the yukons are lasting 2 years id say thats the best you'll get really so why change?? If your were full time ground work and could afford it id recommend pfanners but there gettin to such a stupid price now even i wouldnt conscider them. Stihl do an economy trouser pretty cheap but ive no idea if theyre good or not.Stick with what you know

The same oppressed people who rose up against the despots of Iraq,Lybia and Syria??? Your deluded kevin There are many oppressed people in many countries all over the world,christ Africa's got more than its fair share of crackpots but no ones ever interested in deposing those regimes..why? Little to no natural resourses to plunder thats why. Why has no one stopped trading with Pakistan,or India who both have countless violations to human rights? Pakistan has a nucleur deterant but America doesnt seem interested in that either only Borth Korea is looked upon as being capable of starting Ww3 when if were being honest Mr Trump is tweeting about the size of his red button. But you keep sticking your head in the sand and blaming whinging lefties or the media's blatant attacks on Trump... i know about politicians lying to the electorate to justify dirty little wars across the globe...i fought in one thanks to blair and his cronnies... Hows Iraq now after 2 wars....

We in the yard for 7.30 but rarely get out before 8 as were getting out kit/equipment setup for the days work.

Is iran in chaos....the media would have us believe so...but is it. This is the same Iran that dropped the US dollar,the same as Iraq,Lybia and Syria that stopped trading oil in US dollars and what happened to them... Perhaps just perhaps were about to see another oil rich middle eastern country bombed,attacked or a rebel group backed by the west to over throw the current regime to allow its oil cache to be traded in US dollars... Call me paranoid but its pretty bloody obvious init.Of course the politicians will justify a war by saying its a humanitarian issue or the countrys people are being subjected to inhuman cinditions blah blah...

Greens drink (just powdered brocolli,kale,seaweed etc) with a banana when i get up at 6:00,take dog out,make a coffee and eat porridge with honey and blueberries.get into work for 7.30 dont stop till 11.30 then lunch,usually brown rice/pasta with some sort of homemade tomato sauce ,veg and lean meat. Thats see's me through till knockin off at 4pm If i get peckish i keep cashew nuts and mixed raisins in a freezer bag in my large side pocket on my trousers,usually only crack into those if im on a big climb though...

I would agree to some extent that pestacides and chemicals used in the food industry will and are being seen now for the destructive capabilities they posses on the environment but my rant on the resourse rape of tribal lands was more of an example of the lengths Trumps administration will go to to jump start the economy and falsley promote trump as a successful president.

Native american reservations cover only 2% of americas land but contain a fifth of the nations oil and gas as well as vast coal reserves. The trump administration is persuing a bill to privatise those lands to gain access to those resourses. 56 million acres of tribal lands are to be repossesed opposing an 100 year old agreement between the US government and the native americans The trumps administrations persuit of boosting energy resourses at any cost will see river pollution,air pullution and a whole host of other enviromental issues sky rocket to a level unseen since the early 20th century. He's willing to posion his own nation to create an economy growth that is based on fossil fuels which will benefit only the corporations. I doubt Trump is aware of half of the issues troubling his presidency as he's not capable of the level of devious fabrication seen in his administration.

At what cost though Timon... He's pulled America out of every global enviromental agreement,he's resurrected the coal industry and is now trying to increase production of oil by drilling for new wells in Alaska.... We will all pay a price for his quest to improve the economy. As for the raise in employment he has been caught fiddling figures as most governments do...

Said with more than a dollop of sarcasm eh gary..

He inherited his fortune and lost it twice...he has the backing of some of the largest corporations on the planet who got him elected by getting him the best campaign team who took him to the whitehouse...then he fired them... read some of his tweets-he's not smart enough to run the most powerful nation on the planet. The real problem is that he genuinly believes he is. Big ego,over confidence in himself with the attention span of a 2 year old-all rolled up in a personallity that thrives/needs attention at any cost. Not my choice for someone who could send the missles flying...

Ive had the stihl raintec jacket for 2 years and its still goin strong... Id say its more than decent for the price

I wonder how many are regreting they voted for him khriss...

I wish mark hamill aka luke skywalker would take the chidish/semi literate/bigoted bufoon to a galaxy far far away....

My sentiments in one sentence. Bang on

Lets get this right... Katie Hopkins has no opinions, no political agenda or genuine concern for her country.She WILL spout any kind of guff simply to satisfy her lust for fame and notoriety. Out of the many examples i could give to back this is the one that makes me laugh more than any thing else is the time she went on This Morning to slag of parents who called there children after places when she named her own child India.... She highlights all that is wrong with our celebrity culture....

Seems theres a trend for things being made smaller... Hope tits arent affected...

Xylitol has only one ingredient steve Xylitol. For your perusal.. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/xylitol-101

Funny you mention homeopathic remedies as my wife brewed her "Polyjuice potion" as she calls it (She's a big harry potter fan) Lemons,tumeric,ginger and honey as an anti inflamitory,tastes bloody queer but it does have an effect.I cant take anti inflamitories for long as they dont agree with me.

Hope your bodys in good nick! Climbing has a way of highlighting issues your not aware of until your 60 foot up...good luck bud

Thanks joe what tens machine have you been using mate?

Joe- yeah im not even at 10 years climbing yet but i was a gardener before that so it kinda crosses over into heavy lifting repetative strain over the years. I climb on a zigzag,recently went back onto 13mm rope just for easier grip,i do use srt on big ascents but realisticly i could count the number of big trees ive climbed over the past year on one hand. Im in a team of 4, all climbers so we take climbs in rotation which at first i hated but now its a god send as climbing now is causing me grief. I utilise ascenders( ct foot and single hand) as much as possible and use our 150 more than anyone else in the squad. I am guilty of holding my body weight on one arm while tending slack coming in from tip prunes,little ascents etc.I have tried a 3:1 to make it easier to pull myself back in but it takes feckin ages...ive little patience for that. Really tryin as much as i can to ease the symptons but as much rest as possible just isnt possible in our game really is it. Even if your not climbing using chainsaws,draggin feeding the chipper carting logs about aint gonna help rest em much. Thanks for all the comments so far folks Much appreciated

Got tennis elbow in one arm and golfers elbow in the other,its from climbing so i suppose my climbing career is on its last legs. Anyone have any remedies? Ive seen the doctor,takin ibuprofen,wearing the little arm straps u get etc. ANY sort of input would be a god send..its bloody miserable! Tia

Edelrid are doin some good kit right now,decent harnesses and there new spikes get good reviews. At a tenner a pop though for biners that arent triple lock,im not convinced id need em that much
