  1. 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.

  4. 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.
  5. 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.

  8. 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.

  10. The double letter scenario did for you again sime.
  11. 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.
  12. Morning all. Been having a relaxed week off here, weather decent and just me and wee Poppes at home. We went out yesterday to top some connies for a mate, finish it today. The big question on my mind is, why is it when your on your own up a tree the fuel runs out so much quicker? Have a good one folks.

  14. For me it really doesn't matter if you're a low level gangsta or a budding lawyer, when you start trying to batter your way with a car past armed police you've made their decision for them, whatever skin you wear. I've said it before on here and Dave said it earlier, when they point the gun it's time to be a very polite, compliant little lamb and keep the arguing for later. Think I heard earlier on the news parliament announced that in future cases, no officer will be publicly identified unless actually convicted of a crime. No idea why that isn't the case already, innocent until proven guilty...

  20. Firmly, but from a distance.
  21. Not been nearly as bad as forecast here yet. I'm losing hope for the chance of some lucrative call outs. Obviously I mean it's good news that no-one has been badly affected by the weather 😞
  22. No idea about all that, I'm a mere child, saw it on a history programme!
  23. Flat top back in fashion!
  24. Morning all. Calm here for now, rain due to start shortly and the wind building from lunchtime is to be gusting 60mph later. No plans to go out except walk the dog unless there's a call out to work. I know some of you guys are expecting worse so batten the hatches. Have a good one folks.
