  1. To wash off the coal dust?
  2. No, but I would say not being a rapist is pretty much the bare minimum in any civilised, western society.

    ArbDogs? Pics!

    Outstanding!
  4. "The helmet Trump received vs the helmet Obama received after the Patriots won the Super Bowl."
  5. Which other rapists are you keen on mate?
  6. Nice to have, but it never goes far does it? We should have one every day.
  7. Good morning everyone.

  9. F*ck YEAH, bro! Save those seeds. Are those for planting, or snacking on? My collection is growing, I have the husks and pods saved and mixed together as well, I'll toss them around in a bucket of soaked compost and drizzle it down the side of the lane. There's bound to be stragglers stuck to the debris, something will sprout.
  10. Ehhh... nature isn't going to kill us buddy... we are killing nature... and a lack of nature has the potential to kill us. It might not seem like it, but I really value your input on this, purely for the comedy value. You just seem to have such a comprehensive misunderstandment across such a diverse range. You know a lot of the words, and they are sometimes in the right order, but it's as though you've been reading the subject material through the translucent plastic of a cereal bag, or you've overheard muffled snippets of conversation about it through around 6 inches of subcutaneous fat and intestinal lining. Don't stop, it adds balance.
  11. The maths of it today compared to pre-2000 is just depressing. I'm happy for my folks, obviously, and everyone like them who worked for their homes, but the reality is a lot of my generation aren't going to get on the ladder until their patents die. Just keep lining the landlords pockets until then!
  12. Different planet altogether yours, isn't it. Must be nice.
  13. Also a good reason, but the natives still like to blame us for it whenever possible. Easiest to just not argue, usually.
  14. A Croll is great, I've used them a couple of times when testing gear for my mountain rescue activities, as it provides a 2nd point of attachment with minimum faff. But I'd not be massively convinced by using one in tree work unless, as you say, it's a massive climb... which just don't exist in my line of work in Ireland. We don't have tall trees, they all got turned into ships for the English. Yeah, I agree, minimum gear is better, generally, unless you need to tick a box. Not a strong enough plus point on it's own, really.
  15. Ahh, this is fun, isn't it chaps? Just like the good old days.
  16. Then you sympathise with a serial rapist and child abuser. You should make that your signature on here. Are signatures still a thing?
  17. Just want to bump this thread to repeat a question. I'm looking to replace my harness, and I'm still thinking of other options too, but a friend of mine is a Petzl vendor and would give me a good price. I'm still pretty much a DRT dinosaur but I'm going to make the switch to SRT, honest, don't judge me. But the Sequoia DRT/SRT... does the ventral attachment really make that big a difference? Is one out of the two better at doing the both? Are the cons of one hugely outweighed by the pros of the other? If anyone has time in both harnesses (or just the one, either one, we are all friends here...) I'm just curious as to why there needs to be the option available if there isn't a compromise from one for the other, if you see what I mean. Cheers dudes.
  18. To answer your questions in order, here you go, buddy; and almost certainly, yes, but to put it succinctly: nowhere near enough in the grand scheme of things, but more than the previous administration; definitely more than the next administration assuming a Republican win; and hopefully not as much as the next crowd assuming a Democrat win. Is there something else you'd like Googling?
  19. Can't find a video of it, "cherry picker crash glasgow" brings up an event from 2018. Anyone else any luck?
  20. Wildflower meadow?
  21. Did you ferry from Spain to Morocco? What route? It's been a long held dream to get the campervan down to Morocco, I'd say it's the easiest most-exotic place you could reasonably drive to from UK/Ireland.
  22. I tell you, I learned a lot that day, and really grew as a person.

    GOD HELP ME

    A 550 mk 2 will see you right for most things you can expect to do for a while. Get a climbing helmet from the get go, don't bother with a ground lid. Some people get stroppy about wearing a chin strap when they are on the ground, don't be a whiny little bitch like them. Just fasten the damn chin strap. Try and pick up a few bits of climbing gear from now until then along the way, and start practicing knots.
