  1. That’s where I left my petrol can
  2. The bloke can’t even lie competently
  3. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LARGE-MARKER-BUOY-1-3m-high-exc-shackle-Marine-Buoy-Safety-Buoy-Sailing-etc/232850534768?hash=item3636f93170:g:0ZYAAOSwEnZa8Bwv
  4. ive got the petrol winch. i bought a thick blue plastic barrel to act as a nose cone but so far not really needed to use it.
  5. don't give up on your shoulders. i used to be quite a good rock climber and over the years have had frozen shoulders and tendonitis. physio and steroid injections may help
  6. hmm, you sound my type. wanna meet up? are you on Grindr?
  7. Just out of interest what’s your fitness like upper body strength and how tall and how much do you weigh?
  8. Subby??
  9. is that with the ZZ just hung below the rope wrench waiting to be used when you get to work position or actually being used SRT? i, i mean he, tried the second suggestion but for some reason found it a lot less effort with the foot ascender alone, leaving the knee ascender behind
  10. i want one. i'm not talking about the winch either
  11. It’s not the punters fault that antibiotics are misused, it’s the medical profession. The quack should have the minerals to tell the neurotic to go do one as “it’s a frigging cold”
  12. Homeopaths should put their money where their mouths are. Instead of taking some distilled after for a headache, don’t ring the doctor when you have pneumococcal septicaemia, try a homeopathic remedy.
  13. There is no debate with Flat Earthers either
  14. Croatia for me. I like the little man concept. And I hate the frogs
  15. I’m sorry, I always try and keep it light but I have to back your name here. Please, please, do not take any treatment that is not evidence based ( and I do not mean a few personal anecdotes but decades of rigorous scientific research). By all means take some homeopathic water for a minor self limiting problem that will get better in a week anyway, I do not mind. Equally I do not mind if you worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster, just don’t proselytise it to others. To say antibiotics and vaccinations weaken the immune system is dangerous nonsense. Vaccines enhance immune systems. We are lucky to have the luxurious complacency in this country to knock such treatments when millions die in developing countries. I don’t mind herbalists etc because at least we are talking some active biochemical ingredient although it does make me laugh if they say natures ways are safer ( try some Death Cap) Homeopathy is nonsense period, no debate, against the laws of physics and chemistry. Water memory? Do me a favour! The simple molecule can remember the arnica or whatever it was briefly introduced to? It can therefore also remember Napoleons piss and all the other countless compounds it has come into contact with since it was formed in deep space eons ago. I’m gonna go put some h2o in some c2h6o now and calm down
  16. i have a friend. he's in his 50s, fat and unfit. he was wanting to know which technique for ascent would be least likely to cause cardiac arrest. he has tried... (in order of preference) being winched up on a static rope and pulley by a portable petrol capstan winch. a ladder zigzag and a foot ascender SRT with hand and foot ascender on a loop SRT with foot and DIY knee ascender (no tree wrench, just a VT attached to a hand ascender and micro pulley body thrusting. ok, the first two are to reinforce the fact he is a bloater. anything else you experienced, not as fit as you once were, chaps, could recommend ?
  17. I’ve had 2 snap though so be interested it it happens to you. I do go at it though for a good 3 hours at a time
  18. Still lovely wood. I use lo pro
  19. They won’t explore as it would be like looking for a minute splinter in a bloody haystack. If it becomes an abscess they would drain it
  20. You don’t go to the dr for antibiotics, you go to see if you NEED antibiotics. Drs are strongly discouraged now from unnecessary antibiotics prescribing so if you get some you needed some
  21. But I thought homeopathic stuff was water??? Nil to do unless it becomes re-infected which will be a trip to GP AND antibiotics. An infection of the space between the metacarpals can quickly turn nasty. My money would be on that there is still something left inside but the body’s defences will seal it off and it will settle. Remember “alternative” medicine with evidence of benefit is called “medicine “
