your trust has enough money for badges

yes they come on a nice lanyard.which has a quick release if somebody grabs it to try and choke you.however if they grab it from behind you won't be needing your badge except to put on your memorial.

and the genii of the NHS Foundation Trust have added the word "assertive" into my job title - as far as I'm concerned this gives me carte blanche to go round telling people what to do

YYFY!

For real ? As in something like: 'Assertive Compliance Executive' ? Or did you mean in the job description ?

Assertive Outreach Worker

Tremendous. Do you have a good cop / bad cop routine going with a Submissive Outreach Worker ?

Fucked up in a big way. Fell asleep coming home from winter climbing and had a head on with a bus. Fortunately no-one other than me was injured, I'm sure the driver could rightfully claim for a new set of undies though...

I think the fact that I can't work offshore for 6 months, or climb for 12 stopped the Judge taking away my licence. Still,with costs at about £4800 it's, by far, the most expensive nap I've ever taken.

Fuck it, when you've got 11, what's another 12

GCW · July 23, 2010, 08:13:38 pm

Easily done. I remember driving up from Glasgow, doing the Long Climb and driving back all in a day. I had to have a sleep somewhere before Tyndrum as I kept dozing off. Scary as fuck.

I do both; with different voices.
I also do the role of the victim/perp/client with amusing/offensive impressions if they aren't joining in.

Stihl all the way holmes.

(What a great problem to have

)

SA Chris · July 26, 2010, 09:45:59 am

Actually bouldered on Friday night. Just down the beach near the house, but second time since Xmas. Conditions were ace. Surprisingly didn't suck too much on the vertical stuff, but was hopeless on anything steep. And did a new prob on a bouldered I have partially excavated last autumn and left the sea to do its work. Plus cleaned up some new stuff too. Amazing what you can see with fresh eyes.

Any chainsaw recommendations? (Local pundit says Stihl)

I'd agree, the only other real competition is husqvarna and they have a stupid greasing system on the guide bar nose bearings. Stihl are a far better machine to use and maintain

Jim · July 26, 2010, 10:38:53 am

Sthil here too, I've had my ms170 for years and its still going strong

SA Chris · July 26, 2010, 11:00:59 am

Stihl are also better at cutting through dense bone, and are less likely to get clogged with lumps of gore.

Fiend · July 26, 2010, 11:01:20 am

I wanna know what Trad Jim has been doing, surely worth a YYFY?

Just paid some surveyors to mark the correct boundaries of my property in Squamish and discovered that I - and not my uphelpful neighbours - own all the trees that are starting to block my view of the Chief. Any chainsaw recommendations? (Local pundit says Stihl)

Right on - we can have a chainsaw party the next time you're over.

BTW, had a splendid day yesterday with Sparky & nephew - did Wiretap and then Rock On - fine multipitch squampton trad day out.

I very much liked the 3rd pitch on Wiretap (flare/ hand crack above the stump belay seat). Did you see the legal crap boiling up between the guy responsible for Wiretap, Milk Road, etc and Kevin McLane? Very weird and dysfunctional.

Quite - it would appear from the SuperTopo discussion that McLane has variously pissed off/alienated just about all of the old school Squamish types, and is trying his hand with the next crop of local activists - I think you should write a new guide to Squamish so I don't have to buy his products anymore

I suspect it will blow over quickly as the cleaning of Milk Road has received fairly universal support - from P Croft even

I thought the belay at end of pitch 2 was fantastic!
