    I'm not usually a fan of your paranoid 'oh my God........PANIC', we are all buggered now' outlook on life / the news, but I have to agree, if a digital government controlled currency comes into force we are all buggered. Actually, worse than buggered; life as we know it will be walking a very thin and wobbly tightrope.

    Haha. I can't watch that, the bloke's a moron (and that's coming from a man with 2 young daughters, who's been subjected to both Blippi and Mr Tumble on a regular basis).

    I'd not want to go against the advice of a bloke who has actually seem the tree. Having said that, how qualified was he? The tree seems to be dealing with the problem as it sees fit, but it's impossible to give a definite yes or no from photos. Don't fall for the NPTC qualified line; I could train my Mrs to pass most NPTC units in about a week. Does the guy have any academic Arb qualifications?

    New to me. Did it replace the Sugoi?

    Yep, agree, Zubat for climbing. However, for the OP, the Ibuki is the winner, imo. It's hard to describe, but for a job for which you'd really rather be using a chainsaw, the Ibuki slogs through a bit better. It's something to do with the way the end of the handle bends round a little more I think. It's almost as if you can push it further away, and then pull it back with your stronger fingers, rather than hold the handle more traditionally. Sorry, crap explanation I know.

    Ive always used the Ibuki. It's a little longer than the longest Zubat, and would easily do what you need. I've only ever had the old one though, the new ones are in a red scabbard.

    Now that's a more pertinent question. The AA would look pretty silly having their representatives giving public legal advice if said representatives were not both qualified and insured to give such advice. I will read the answer to that question with interest.

    You do realise you are coming across a bit ' jealous teenage girlfriend' don't you? 😁
  9. Retired Climber
    Not really. I'm self employed, and work for businesses most days.

    I'm no expert, but shouldn't those pipes be pretty much sealed, so that gases and smoke aren't released back into the room. If that liquid can get out, so can gases.

    It's nothing to do with common sense. You are misunderstanding the word company.
  12. Retired Climber
    If you aren't a company, you aren't a company. All companies will be listed, including LLP's etc. Only sole traders and non limited partnerships will be omitted.
  13. Retired Climber
    All companies, regardless of size, would be on the list.
  14. Retired Climber
    Are they your 'money' search terms? Fancy posting your neg list too?

    I use you as a benchmark for how much of a knob I'm being on here. Whenever I find myself liking one of your posts (more often than I like to admit), or I get a notification that you've liked one of mine I think "oh God, what have I said? I bet I've written something that is going to upset someone".
  16. Retired Climber
    Thank you for taking my post in the spirit it was written. For a forum of hairy arse arbs and foresters there are a lot of delicate flowers, ready to take offence at a moment's notice.

    Are electrical engineering qualifications relevant in such a situation? I don't see the relevance personally.
  18. Retired Climber
    Whilst my comment was very much tongue in cheek, there is a certain amount of truth in your statement. It's very well known that people within organisations are promoted to the point at which they are incompetent, and the same can be said for any organised group really. It's rarely the most competent people shouting the loudest, in any situation.
  19. Retired Climber
    Oh come on, if you want to have a dig at me at least check your English. The ambiguity caused by your inability to articulate your point is just embarrassing. Have another go.
  20. Retired Climber
    Quite right. I'm sure many are qualified on both counts.
  21. Retired Climber
    The problem is, there are two types of protestor. Some are soft as shite, and the ones who aren't, are thick as shite.
  22. Retired Climber
    That is worth a chuckle. The word protestor is simply a synonym for Bell-end.
  23. Retired Climber
    You are like a little ray of sunshine aren't you. I wouldn't argue against most of what you've written, but it always strikes me as a little 'glass half empty' when we hear about all this poverty that's going to rain down on us all. Whilst some will struggle, there has never been a better time to take responsibility for your own financial situation and thrive regardless of whatever economic situation we are being told to fear.
  24. Retired Climber
    Good ol' silver birch I'd say.

    Here's sticking around here as most other forum admins would have deleted his posts before we even saw them. As I said, he seems like a nice enough lad, he's just doing (literally) everything wrong if he wants to make money on YouTube. Spamming and link dropping crap content is not the way to go about it.
