Interesting point... we humans tend not to process negative statements...

Don't pick yer nose!
Don't interupt!
Don't go faster than 70mph!    :oops:

I'm not sure the council would agree that a lampost is either!!! A sturdy tree might be a better idea, or i'm favouring next doors corsa  :twisted:

Careful the winch goblins don't come along and have the [!Expletive Deleted!] away. There is a lot of that going on at the moment. :x
Why don't they ever get their fingers caught between the cable and the rollers? It'd be easy to identify them. Lots of DNA! :lol:

Winch all but six turns of wire off the drum then winch it back on under a small load. With mine i winch a mates motor up a gentle incline, i find it's easier to make sure that the cable spools on nicely because the winch itself isn't moving along. :D
