  1. define ripped off?...
  2. I prefer this version..
  3. The Pogues.. Fairy Tale of New York masterpiece .. then the usual suspects.. I like em all some more than others mind.. if I had to pick a second it would Wham, last christmas.. an honorary mention goes Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah..
  4. Yea forgot about that bit about unwinding the endless rope puller I bought.. pain in the arse.. anyway, I think I'll get one myself. make it into my own version of the GRCS.... if I'd known such a thing existed I'd of got one instead of the endless rope winch... well maybe not, I use that for pulling stuff on my trailer...
  5. I'm a bit confused, thats not much different than the winch I showed that you said you already had.. I mean I realize you can use a drill to speed things up but by how much?.. then, I presume you have to keep one hand on the rope to tend and one on the drill.. I think you'll last ten minutes before you get sick of that to be honest.. If your asking me I'd bite the bullet and get a petrol powered two stroke winch.. that way you've two options when it comes to winching, the small lightweight one for when you need such a thing and the petrol one for when you might be there all day hauling stuff up banks and such... Now havin said that, that winch looks pretty handy in its own right.. you could say its a poor mans GRCS.. put a bit of weld on there and make it so you can stick it on a tree.. how much are they?...

    Sometimes a thread could be live for a day before it shows up in the feed. well it does in mine... might explain why it was quiet.. speakin of being quiet, might be an opportunity to visit Buckin and have a chat... A nice fireside chat chewin the fat about your work experiences.. you can always edit out the swear words after.. victor delivering mugs of tea and toast.. ?
  7. And so to bed...... C U tomorrow Rat bastard, I'm off to bed for now.... you viking you!!!!... hahahaha
  8. I said I fancied myself as being able to write a good one.. if I could be bothered mind.. I mean I was fifteen when I aspired to do that.. or was that being an actor.. I fancied being the new richard burton without the looks, or voice for that matter.. I used to listen to his rendition of Under Milk Wood, but somehow it never had the same gravitas when spoken in a broad Lancashire accent.. well you should know it don't does it...
  9. Man theres some dark times in there.. I can't help wondering what lies at the bottom of it all.. some childhood trauma, a personality flaw... or just life in general beating down on you. certainly is a puzzler.. Still, you know what they say about reaching the bottom of the barrel, the only way now is up.. chin up and keep looking up...
  10. shut your mouth, do you think I spend the night getting pissed or doped up.. I'm watchin a utube vid on one monitor and keeping you idiots entertained on the other.. the things I do to keep you all happy..
  11. But then you'd have no one to bitch about wouldn't you... be careful what you wish for...
  12. Piss off, did he say piss off.. but how should I piss off Oh Lord..
  13. yes yes, but do you think my story might fly?...
  14. Was you not entertained?... You know, I've always fancied myself as a writer, I mean I used to fancy my chances a an actor. you know, a Richard Burton without the looks.. began when I was at school and our English teacher always had me up to do a reading. I always fancied she saw somethin in there. A talent of some sorts, perhaps a hidden gem to be teased out.. Then I came across Shakespear and thought, you know what, I can do better than this.. one day I says to myself I'll knuckle down and write a short book.. a book about wizards and giants and spells and flying about on broomsticks.. trouble is J K Rollins got there first... I suppose I'm left with writing about myself, the life and adventures of a jobbing gardener.. I think that might work, I just need to get giants and witches and flying wizards on broomsticks in there.. perhaps set it in Elizabethan England to use some of that Shakespearian prose in there as well.. Vespasian ambled over to the window to draw openeth the heavy curatins.. he pulleth them apart as the sun spatteth in his face.... yep can see that workin.. what do you think...
  15. Takes off to kitchen to make coffee.. gives Stubby time to think of someythin thats actually amusing...
  16. yes, very funny, sides are splitting. now please attempt to be original next time round... I can only take so much..
  17. like beating your head against a brick wall with some on here... give me strength..
  18. Well obviously your gonna win you numpty... You know why, cause people like to troll..
  19. Well I made the story up about bein in nick.. it seemed like a good idea at the time.. but ordinarily I never lie. have never lied as best I know.. I take great pride in my honesty if you want to know..
  20. Unbelievable, I take it you think I'm lying about talking to the CEO of a crypto currency startup...
  21. hahaha I get the feeling theres more on here than you think that like me posting up my opinions and stuff.. I'd hazard a guess if we both left for a month one would be missed one wouldn't.. which one would you be?.. hahaha you rat bastard you...?
  22. git off your high horse I was havin a bit of fun to keep you entertained on a quiet Friday night.. don't think I've nothin better to do as well... I always have somethin goin on in the background why I'm on here.. Currently watching an hr long vid on bitcoins demise.. or potential demise.. was speaking to the CEO of a new crypto currency owner this afternoon. a start up, he's attempting to bring to the market.. thus my research into his chances of success.. And, didn't I post up my own story after I'd had my few minutes of fun?.... so nothin to hide here as well.. And, you're just jealous cause you can't tell a story as good as me.. truth is I should be charging you for reading my stuff... that'll be ten dollars sir..
  23. I was thinking more along the lines of entertainer to be honest.. on some threads at least.. and I wouldn't be bandying words like troll about if I was you.. you ain't so shy in that department yourself to be honest.. as to my life being empty, there isn't enough hs in the day for me..
  24. habitual liar?... I'll have you know sir I never tell lies.. That was produced to give some on here some Friday night entertainment... I was gonna come clean later that evening but I was having so much fun I couldn't help but keep the charade goin for a day or two.. its all good fun.. you miserable sod.
  25. Its nowt but an advertisement for Fantastic tree's..... as adverts go its nothin out the ordinary I suppose.. As a potential customer I'd still be left in the dark as to how much I might be expected to pay out for a bit of tree work in my garden.. I don't know why companies can't at least have a guide of sorts, typically with a two man team working all day you might be expected to pay A B or C.....
