  1. Morning all. Been a decent week, nice to be dry and in a t-shirt every day. Just 3 of us out today so probably some bitty council work. Hoping for a nice medium size dismantle with no dog poo, probably be crown raising and building clearance with plenty dog poo! Have a good one folks.

  8. My mother used to tell me never to do that, if you want to be sure use a french letter!
  9. Crank it up for the dog walk, we'll call you Florence of the North. Or maybe wee Willie Winkie...
  10. Also have a Tilly lamp in a shed somewhere...
  11. Unless this one would interest you? All the attributes of the one I binned except it's single AAA. Led Lenser.
  12. Oh come on, I even hit it with pliers and a hammer, surely I deserve cake at least.
  13. You nearly got lucky last night Alex. Feeling bad about you're predicament I hunted a torch of mine out, pocket size, on off, led bulb with easy focus for flood or beam, 2 AA battery power, would've been grand. Unfortunately I couldn't get one battery out due to the corrosion so I binned it instead, apologies.

  15. Me and wee Poppes went to collect her mum from the airport, there's a big carvery place nearby I stopped to let the dog out. Walking alongside the building on the verge and I could see the place was packed. The dog could obviously smell they had a fire exit door open a crack, so off she popped, under the fence and through the door before I realised it. So I jumped the fence, threw the door open and burst in shouting her. She was off though, I ended up playing chase around the restaurant with random kids giggling and pointing "here! it's here!". Fortunately she went behind a bar where I cornered her. I scooped her up ending her hunt for the nexus of meat and retreated, apologising to all that would listen, back toward the fire exit. We left to what felt like a rumble of ridicule, but I'll call it a standing ovation. Met the oh outside who obviously thought I was a dick and wanted to know why I'd taken the dog in the fire exit in the first place. Another great hobby she's taken to is sentry duty at the neighbours cat flap. Operation Persecute, with the aim of repressing all enemy patrols. Age has indeed brought the cantankerous side of her character to the fore.
  16. Every time

  18. Cones and signs primary purpose is not to be more visible than working equipment, it's to "manage" vehicles and pedestrians safely around the work site. Also it's perfectly viable to set up lights, cones and signs in advance taking into account the parameters of work as concluded by RAMS, it happens on a daily basis. The long and short of it is if you're going to set up on a public road to do work for profit then it's on you to control your worksite safely.
  19. And Vladimir is wearing this season's must for any budding dictator, the mid length hooded puffa in black... It really is the most on trend apparel this season, taking over from the formal military uniform. We expect the puffa look to be heavily accessorized with blingy military medals and calf skin, fleece lined gloves in the colder months.
  20. Only took 2, I've let myself down!

  22. Noticed that too Stubbs, have to admire his commitment to accuracy! Morning all. Topping connies completed yesterday, yayy. Got breakfast at the cafe with Poppes and a couple of mates, then we're off to a lovely big open grown Beech for a rec climb, happy days. Have a good one folks.

  24. The double letter scenario did for you again sime.
  25. God help the training provider if your first two courses are to be small fell and aerial cutting! I don't think it's possible to complete an aerial cutting course unless you already hold the climbing and aerial rescue tickets. Also, I'd be hoping the provider would have provision for the equipment needed on the course.
