  1. What’s this b side you speak of? I don’t see that option on my iPod? Is it like the dark side of the force?
  2. It may not be newsworthy in your opinion (maybe it is given the amount it cost the tax payer) but if the ship is leaking then the news isn’t fake! If they reported the ship was doomed and will sink....... fake To report that it’s leaking, and it is, then surely the news is ......... wait for it .......... true.
  3. Surely it would only be fake news if it wasn’t leaking?
  4. I would say not legal under the letter of that law however technically speaking if you where cutting pitches for sports teams who where getting paid to play would that be classed as recreation or them doing their jobs? If it is a profession is it still recreation? To go red or not to go red?
  5. Surely by measuring sticks like that she’s is the best person for the job given that she did the best in the elections?
  6. Neither is Corbyn and Keir, they are an opposition to be feared. Businesses are slowly getting behind what is happening, if Corbyn gets in labour admit they’ll have to use emergency measures to stabilise the pound from the shockwaves of them getting in. Hardly great either way.
  7. I’d rather be a socket set than a spanner, corbyn can be a spanner and a very good spanner at that.
  8. I think referendums will be shelved for a while by the tories if labour get in however Blair will get his wish.
  9. Merino wool ski socks for me. TK maxx usually sell them for a reasonable price or go outdoors. The higher the % of merino the better.
  10. Are we supposed to take you serious when your talking about villages?
  11. It is hard to draw lines when so many words have so many meanings also delivery and reference are key to your perceived intended outcome. Ie I call my 2 and a half year old daughter a little monkey because she is going through the climb on/over everything stage I also call her a terror whenever she tips the toy box upside down rather than take the toy she wants out of the box. Both instances are in jest and comparative to the task she carries out. It’s a bit like stating you can swim like a fish, not offensive! Your perceived outcome can also be misinterpreted, for what you see or say in a meaning of good manner/humour or can easily be misconstrued. Will we get to the point though where it will be easier to avoid conversation for fear of confrontation?
  12. Yes it’s brutal this day in age, thanks for the clips guys but not my humour even for the year/s it was out. Cheers,porridge and only fools however now they are timeless. Have to admit though I only watched the 1st Star Wars film the other night I’m on a mission to watch them all to see what all the fuss is about, I know I know where have I been . . .
  13. I’m a bit young for love thy neighbour being only 32 and that but now you have thrown a bone your going to have to post a clip.
  14. You really should re invest in a tv license.
  15. I started the top gear clips to merely show positives from our great country and how much we do in other areas other than financial and to suggest we can do well out of the EU. Clarkson and Mays clip you showed to vote remain is to what essentially adds up to them doing less paperwork to carry on their globe trotting in cars if we stay in ........ hardly the strongest viewpoint I have seen. Ahh on the contrair Brexit is only just beginning when the time is right her mps will stand in line. Only weeks ago we didn’t think we would be speaking about trade but this little thing called progress has happened ......
  16. I just wish others would promote the good we do and the worth we have instead of putting us down and saying we are doomed.
  17. Hedera is my weapon of choice although I’m not on ZZ.
  18. I suppose it’s how you interpret it, only guessing but I highly doubt it was done with malice more aimed at humour given the maths attached to the costume. Its easy to look at at it and think racist but the question is if a black person dressed up as a black person ie mrs Abbott would people see that as humour or racism which then leads to if whites can only do fancy dress as other whites and blacks only fancy dress as blacks is that not more racist in the sense that they don’t want to dress as someone other than their skin colour and does it suppress multiculturism and create seclusion? hmm what a complicated world we live in. Personally im not racist, fortunately not been at the thick end of racism against me have a sense of humour and see it as intended humour and in all honesty because of the maths can see the humour intended. Anybody need me im over here under my tin hat!
  19. Just watching an old top gear on Dave season 20 episode 6. Will we do well outside of the EU, absolutely.
  20. Sorry I thought I mentioned Instagram first off ,it was on there haha wes_tts that’s me drop us a line and I’ll follow you
  21. Added on what?
  22. If it was just Tree Work and you could complete the work in the timeframe given would you Tender and crack on if won? I would.
  23. Your welcome, if your boss is paying get SJ 3 rope guide and positioner, you won’t be disappointed.
  24. Out of interest if how many wouldn’t Tender for a similar contract in your home town or city?
  25. Thanks Wes , would you say the sj3 is better than the 2.1? I climbed on the 2.1 for a couple of months and found really good,only annoying thing was it sometimes takes up slack if the wind is blowing abit, art positioner i have never tried tho Can’t comment sorry, I never climbed on the 2.1 however the 3 has a lock out feature and is better in the hand or so I am told. I previously climbed ZZ which I thought was ok but it’s not a patch on the SJ 3 in my opinion however we are all different and like different things so it’s each to their own. What I would say with the SJ is it’s not great with friction so getting to your 1st limb isn’t like the promo vid shows but it’s not hard either once you are used to how it best works. Once you are in the canopy though and climbing the tree using 1 hand to push rope through the SJ it’s seamless also once you have chosen your TIP I use the rope guide and from then on it’s a dream. It’s an unbelievable combo. Im happy with my set up and have complete confidence in my kit for that reason I can’t be bothered with SRT as buying it and toying around to find the sweet spot is both costly in time and money that I’d rather keep. The kit costs money but once you have it you have it so to speak and I like being minimalistic in my approach I only climb with what I need, my harness consists of strop, my rope guide for TIP a small 1st aid kit and tool strop with saw anything else I need gets sent up.
