Must be serious if the mole grips are out.

I thought polar bears gambolled rather than loping.

Sacre bleu!

Have you tried texting him?

No, the Hobbs requires one to hold the rope tight on the drum while the second cranks. The grcs is self tailing, so it's a one man job.

Sounds like jealousy to me. I liked having one, especially after a long day at work, but the maintenance takes a bit of keeping up with and they use a lot of leccy.

Some products may be different spec in the USA and Europe, although I doubt the isa guys will be thorough enough to check which version of a particular rope you have. Some products, like donaghys armor-prus, would never get a CE Mark even though it's perfectly suited to its purpose.

Not having the CE is a fail in itself, the nuts and bolts of the differences between Z133 and the various EN standards don't even come into it. CE is actually just a declaration that the item meets the applicable regulations and can be legally sold in any European country. The actual standards...

Simpler to tension the belt by adjusting the position of the engine, and having permanently engaged drive.

You must be a good boss then.

Me too, although I don't think I would have the patience to learn to play it. You can get a pretty good fat thuddy acoustic bass sound from an electric, but it doesn't have the same stage presence.

I had a wedge in the back cut, it would have sat down on the wedge. Edit: is it even possible to snap a 3/4" double braid with a tracked chipper?

You need to get on a forestry harvesting site Mick, really sharpens up your skills and confidence. I felled about 200 big poplar on a job last year, nothing compared to what Stig does every year but it really made a difference to me. I've done a few since that would have had me second guessing...

Same sort of deal here, even worse inside London. If I want to take my main work truck into London (About 60 miles away) I have to pay £250 per day for the privilege. To avoid paying that I would need to upgrade to a 2010 or newer truck. Mine is a 2000, has its little quirks but never breaks...

My best money is small roofing jobs for old ladies who need a lift to an ATM.

A Tap on the leg. That one probably doesn't travel too well, I'd have to explain that tap=faucet, and then it's not funny any more.

I love kayaks, but the seating position is torture to me. I went out on a night trip in Ireland, we were only out for about three hours but I could barely move afterwards, my lower back just doesn't like it.

A local landscape contractor buried his 12 tonne excavator in his yard and reported it as stolen to get the insurance money. He went to prison for that.

Easy solution, dig a hole with the kobelco, drive the combine into hole, hey presto it's low enough to lift out. ;)

Never been quite sure why guys would want porn at work tbh. Where I used to work years ago one of the crew brought a portable DVD player in, when such things were still a novelty. Apparently they watched a couple of box sets and in his own words, two or three hours of hardcore porn. Never quite...
