I bet you're wondering whether I've paid out 6 yards of winch cable, or only five. In fact, I can't quite remember myself...

Have you got your cable winching badge, and is it sown on?

Because if not you shouldn't be winching anything.

I'll think you'll find I attended a 'winch gangling skills' workshop led by three former SAS winch handles so I *think* I'll be the one giving orders here...

I used a winch once and ended up at the doctors apparently you need to wear protection.

Only three handles?

They can't hold a flame to four.

I'm sat here frantically googling for a supplier of bullet proof fluorescent jackets!



That country boy looks like one ornery hombre to me, got that look in his eyes. Ain't never been the same since since his stint in the 'nam.

By 'nam I mean the Chelte''nham festival - was muddy as hell that year. We lost a lot o' good winchers that day. May their orange strobes keep on shinin' up there with the good Lord.

My move? Well it's to sit here and hope his gaze done pass me by. Ain't slept for nigh on 10 days, wish I'd learnt to sleep with one on the 'phone but that ain't a skill a man like me possess cos I ain't got the killer instinct like our boy there.

If he do come for me, I'll go quiet and as I pass from this world to the next I'll be sure to remember all o' your kind words.

This is Juliet delta whisky one zero zero, Over and out, maybe fo' the last time.....

Have a bit of sympathy, I can't think straight and my hands are trembling on the keyboard.

I've clearly dug myself into a hole on this thread, I find myself on a very slippery slope.....if only there was someone I could call to help me out...

Any suggestions?

Out.

That picture is 5 years old and I don't look like that any more.

Your move.
I'm sure you don't old chap, I'm certain you would have been talked out of it by now!

I guess a lesson in not posting photos to the Internet!

My move? Is to apologise if you took offence to me reposting it. Sorry!

nono

He doesn't use safety boots - he uses FIA compliant leather racing boots!!

The leather keeps them waterproof in those muddy fields and it's also much easier to heel and toe in the Landy that way!!

Fair enough, the "sleep with one eye open" post was worthy of some mockery, but let's stick to mocking walts in general, not harping on about CC.

Roger that Gold Command, will maintain holding position until suitable material emerges to progress the thread. Confirm current status is standby for deployment. Out.

THANK YOU!


jdw100 - you could learn a thing or two. Radio protocol is there to guard against the effect of emotion.

How do you get in touch with these 4x4 help people?

I'm currently in my office (which is at the top of a steepish hill) and in desperate need of a solero.

Here's a queer one.

Blue and white chequered sides, similar hi-viz jacket inside.

No names at all…
