  1. Had a lovely visitor while strimming today. Came up out the water, straight to me and stopped a few metres away for a minute then waddled away back to the river. No idea what it wanted.
  2. Prefer the old names... tart, cute, wayyy too much, bit too old for this, daddy issues, why?, wow and sexy Halloween.
  3. I know, he's insatiable, inbox is full, I'll get back to him later.
  4. It wasn't as bad as forecast here, further north got it though looking at Stephen's pic.
  5. Morning. Bit dull here but looks like a dry day. On the river bank later, be interesting to see how high the water is.
  6. I think the idea you can defeat sleep deprivation and a poor diet by taking an energy drink has been soundly debunked!
  7. I'd be keen to see red bull type assistance on your list as well. One minute running around like a bull in a china shop then crash, as thick as mince and whinging for 'lunch' which will invariably be a chocolate bar. I'd rather rely on the guy that had a few joints, a good night's sleep then breakfast before getting on site.
  8. Please don't take me seriously Blackbriar, all in the name of trolling Jdon. And for the record, when climbing is concerned I'm far from magnificent!
  9. Just trying to give some balance J, you know how you like to make it look all romantic. As for Logan's manliness, that's genuinely news to me!
  10. I find the discomfort is forgotten soon after the team get an envelope with a tip in it, but you get a bespoke thank you card with your tip, written to The Climber. It's because climbers are magnificent you see. Does anyone ever bring a card containing a tip into the woods for fellers?
  11. Would make a great promo vid for Scottish forestry. For a moment I envisaged a life away from posh coffee and biscuits, sorry I mean Arb!
  12. Morning. Wet wet wet here this morning with an amber flood warning in place, Spud's deluge has arrived with us. Only be venturing out to walk the dog though so let it rain!
  13. Very nice J, the one with the watery sun 👍
  14. Morning all. Not back at work until Tuesday now so it's the weekend for me already! I'll finish strimming the riverbank this afternoon and Monday but that's more mindfulness retreat than work. Otherwise looking forward to a rugby-fest on Saturday with three home nations matches to watch.
  15. Now that's all sorted out can we just spare a thought for the humble compressor. Just a few seconds with an air hose would make all the difference!
  16. You'll only make it wetter!
  17. Have you looked on the freelancer listing for anyone local? https://arbtalk.co.uk/find-a-freelancer/
  18. Morning. Bob, that's a better excuse than 'the gamekeeper got his saw pinched'.
  19. Sorry Steven, need to pull you up on that. You've not taken into consideration that it's the only city up there, so all the rats in the very north have to live there, not a true representation. And Agnus knows all about how clean the close is in Dundee because her cousin Dot lives there and they talk every Tuesday afternoon on the phone. #factchecker
  20. Morning, bit earlier up today but not bushy tailed, back in at work for a road job.
  21. Think it'd want a spacer if used with rope.

    Best of luck, it's a difficult market at the moment.

    I don't have a Henry but these are exactly the same reasons I like my cleaning lady...
  24. Love that Stephen, even standing still he looks like he's moving at full tilt!
  25. Stay home spud, there'll be plenty more opportunities to work in the wet.
