Thanks for the worry, nan! That was very much just a stop-gap measure, and was back to being a dog lead by the end of the week. I'm back to a manufactured lanyard now, clipped on to the breakaway bit of the harness. Cheers! I had the bar stay in the kerf in a falling piece once, not sure how. Held on to the saw, and the falling piece f*cked the bar, had to replace it.

I respect and admire sauerkraut as a way of preserving a glut of vegetable, but I infinitely prefer kimchi, which I think is a great deal more delicious and versatile, oozing with garlic and chilli as it is. But that's just the way it fits in my kitchen. Best sauerkraut I've ever had was from an Alsacienne chap at a French market stall, we got a big tray of kraut, studded with juniper berries like bitter little landmines, and a few things across the top, probably smoked belly, a few sausages, and a knuckle. But then he ladled on a slick of rendered foie gras fat, and turned something relatively mundane - it's just pork and cabbage, after all - into something phenomenal. ...and to be honest, now I don't think I could enjoy sauerkraut unless it comes flavoured with foie gras.

I can help with the answer to that one. It's both!

Don't worry boys, sooner or later he's going to slip up, then we can put this madman behind bars where he belongs.

Two Catholic priests are driving into town one day, when they get stuck in a queue to a police roadblock. "Sorry for the delay, gents," the police officer says to them when they reach the front. "But we are looking for two child molesters." The two priests share a quick glance. "All right," one of them says. "We'll do it."

Just a little crown lift on this sycamore.

Fair play to you CCTree, congratulations. Now the real learning can begin!

I really do wonder what exactly it will take for anyone under his spell to realise that they are on the wrong side of history.
-
Yeah, well spotted. Looks like it's all built by other companies and had a Zero label stuck on it for the New Zealand market.
-
I know, right! To my mind, the name doesn't really work on a few different levels, too. But hopefully their products are better thought out than their name?

Has anyone had much experience of the above named company from New Zealand? PPE & Height Safety Equipment | ZERO Height Safety ZEROHEIGHTSAFETY.COM We recognize the need to improve the safety of those working in challenging environments. Our range of height... I've never heard of them, but I was just doing a bit of window shopping and I stumbled upon their harness for just 250 euros, which is of course unpleasantly cheap. Thought I'd try and find out some more. Seems a lot of their hardware is made by Camp, in Italy...

More importantly, how much have you used a GRCS and comms together?
-
For the quiet, introverted types, that sounds like much more fun than a flat-roofed pub filled with football hooligans pissed up on Carling. Humans come in any number of flavours, you know.

As the son of 2 teachers and the husband of another, I don't blame anyone for leaving teaching. They certainly don't make it easy for you. My folks were teaching in South London in the 70s, early 80s, they decided to leave when the risk of getting stabbed outweighed any of the tangible benefits of the place... but it seems that problem can be found in pretty much any school these days!

I bought a cheapo pruning saw once, it was 50% off as well making it almost free. I wanted a second pruning saw, mostly so I could keep the Silky for climbing only. Pure shite, not fit for purpose. You get what you pay for with a Silky.
-
Not as entertaining as his climbing videos, I have to say. I think he's a better climber than a presenter. Still interesting to watch.

If I were in your shoes, I'd be calling a few local tree guys and outlining what you need, make it clear that you'd be happy to pay for it in cash, beer, or both. Others may differ, but I'd be more than happy to help you out. A good chopping block (with a tire on it to hold the rounds in...) makes axe splitting so much better. What vehicle have you got, are you able to travel to a site where a chopping block might be produced?

Day 3 of some sort of man flu. I was hoping a full weekend of moping around would leave me able to work today... but now I'm not so sure. Ah well. Let's see how we get on. Have a good one, all.

Don’t guess what this ash log weighs. I’ll just tell you.

Really odd that this sh*theel can't afford a suit.
