  2. Very much doubt that it is 26m waves that are forecast: Massive Atlantic wave sets record, says World Meteorological Organization - BBC News We've had it bad here for the past few days (but nothing too horrendous) - maybe Barbara and Conner are getting it together in Scandinavia?!
  3. elephantine
  4. pontificate
  5. Thought you were on a callout?!
  6. Adorable (beer goggles developing)
  7. Voluptuous
  8. New president
  9. That could have been Pitlochry - which is only an hour or so from Glenshee
  10. With the weather as it is just now an amphibious vehicle would be more use than a car. I'd wait and see nearer the time as to what conditions are like before deciding - the west coast is much more variable than the eastern ski centres such as Glenshee, Cairngorm and the Lecht.
  11. Try telling that to my wife
  12. One of the reasons I suggested the small Dynema slings is because they come with a certified load rating - saves any potential issues with gear inspections etc. Not sure that would apply to a webbing key fob?
  13. I used to just add a couple of quickdraw dyneema slings to my climbing harness when needing to carry a biigger rack of chocks and friends etc, Examples at: Wild Country / DMM Dyneema Quickdraws tape extenders / slings Pack of 6 | eBay
  14. I thinkthe 'axe' was actually a sledge hammer!
  15. Nice footage SP - where was that? Looks like it was out Helensburgh/Cardross way?
  16. I'd try and avoid injections if at all possible - we used to know some of the Liverpool football team in the '80s and they were regularly given the injections to keep them going through the season. Their bodies have suffered for it long term. Rest, anti-inflammatories and good physio should solve most issues, but for all of us the problem is being disciplined enough to properly rest the affected area. Maybe the festive break will give you an opportunity?
  17. I did say 'within reason'!!
  18. Here you go Vespasian - educate yourself: [ame] [/ame]
  19. Agree with Stubby. You can't really have hydraulic pipes that are too large (within reason) - big pipes keep friction etc down and pressure up. Exactly the same with domestic fresh water plumbing - shower etc. larger bore pipes deliver greater pressure to the shower head due to reduced losses.
  20. My will includes that 'Fanfare to a common man' should be played as the coffin enters the kirk - wonder if it'll feature at his funeral? 2016 has been a hell of a year for people passing away - or maybe I'm just getting old myself.
  21. 'Birmingham - Manchester- Lincoln' is a hell of a long way from most of Scotland
  22. Disco3s had a 2.7 litre TDV6, whilst the D4 have a 3 litre TDV6 or STDV6 (The S standing for sequential) Both are superb towing vehicles - plenty of get up and go, but a good lump to give the required stability when towing heavier loads. A good D3 can be had for less than £8k - if you're serious then take a look at disco3.co.uk and check what vehicles are currently listed for sale by their members.
  23. That is serious gonad territory - what a stick!!
