  1. So the green boxes are obviously correct letters but what do the yellow boxes represent?
  2. Do you guys dogs go walkabout a lot then?
  3. Sounds good Bob, hope you enjoy it and best of luck
  4. Sounds promising, I'm sure he'll get in the swing of it. My old boy Santi was great at putting himself somewhere safe where he could observe proceedings, and Ted would just settle next to the climbing bag when I left the ground. Miss them!
  5. Or the boss will quietly raise the infamous hammer
  6. Morning all. All the best with it Bob, hope it goes well mate.

  8. I'm beginning to think I'm guilty of a terribly offensive act!
  9. So it's more of an age thing then! Joking aside a broken wrist will be debilitating, suppose you'll be on light duties for a while, 6 weeks is it?
  10. Ouch eggs, been in the wars?
  11. It's Sunday my dear chap, 9am is absolutely acceptable. Besides I couldn't possibly grumble as I was up at 6 to give wee Poppes her pills and then we went back to bed for a lie in as well!
  12. Can I ask the reason? I've never really thought about it, I just put the file in the gullet of the next cutter and pull it back to a comfy position. Hope I'm not committing a heinous act while sharpening!
  13. Helps more as the eyes diminish, also it's quite nice when you draw the next cutter toward you to file it and see your marked cutter come up over the tip, you know you are nearly there.
  14. That is gutting Conor, horrible. Great dog a Beagle and he sounds like the best of them. Really sorry.
  15. Surprised you didn't use a 150, haven't you heard it's lighter and more powerful...
  16. Morning all. Another morning when life feels pretty good! Was a busy week with climbing mostly, great sleeps every night, body feels good and just an all round better frame of mind since finishing with work the other week. The oh away to Paris so a quiet weekend planned, just me and the sidekick Cassie, fantastic. Have a great weekend folks.
  17. A few hours! Spoken like a younger, fitter chap than I. Personally I measure the tiredness in metres ascended rather than hours!
  18. Definitely, hard work using arms, hip thrusting or footlocking. Foot ascender makes a big difference for me. Surprised you didn't get to try using a foot ascender during the course.
  19. Summer is done then Stephen, hope you got a good tan!
  20. Been a few windy days here too. Was up felling out half a big Birch yesterday with 40mph wind which was invigorating. Ground dweller today. Have a good one folks
  21. I like the constant presence approach. Secreted somewhere in the protected zone, with steady breath and acutely tuned ears for the first signs of an intruder. Patient, until the moment they tread reasonably close and you take the opportunity, erupting from your hide, no weapon except the element of surprise and a sheer will to give the bugger the fright of its life. As it disappears into the hedge in fear of auld nick himself, you stomp hard with your last few strides to emphasise your victory. You'll strut for a while but inevitably your mind will turn to the next engagement. Granted it's time consuming but it does work..
  22. Can't believe Daisy didn't pluck them in preparation for the slaughterhouse, no pride.
  23. Don't Scots join for the fighting? We've an unwritten rule that we have to be nice to people when we're abroad so that we're distinguishable from other Brits, so once you've fought with everyone in your village/town/city the next step traditionally is soldiering.
  24. Have you seen the map... https://arbtalk.co.uk/find-a-freelancer/
  25. I fear that'd lead me to eat 3 meals a day at maccies!
