Too many fatties on the North Sea rigs. Lose weight or lose your jobs, offshore workers told WWW.BBC.CO.UK Thousands of offshore workers are too heavy for the limitations of helicopter winch systems.

Also on the internet. Important considerations Correlation vs. causation: It is crucial to remember that correlation does not automatically imply causation. There may be other underlying factors at play. Different types of gun deaths: The correlation between gun ownership and deaths can be viewed differently when considering different types of firearm deaths. For instance, while gun ownership is linked to both homicide and suicide deaths, the specific drivers and potential policy solutions may vary. International comparisons: Comparing countries with different levels of gun ownership can be complex. For example, a country with strict gun laws may still have high firearm death rates if those laws are not effectively enforced, or if there is a high rate of illegal gun trafficking.

Another idea is a biner could be tied in that orientation, no need to buy a twisted. This is 3mm starter cord, 4mm might be better. Barrel knot, get it tight and add a barrel stopper. Carabiner easily unclipped when not needed. Going to leave this tied and add one to my other ground saws.

Well thank god for Google eh,otherwise I would have taken you for a blagger. Put me right in my place you have son.

This is sadly a familiar pattern. After the atrocities on March 15 in New Zealand the then Labour government moved swiftly to ban most semi automatic Rifles,to worldwide acclaim. Here is what actually happened. 1) The labour government had removed the requirements to be a NZ citizen in order to gain a firearms license. 2) District police commanders had pillaged the firearms licencing budget for their own pet projects,to the point where Brendon Tarrant was interviewed via Skype and his two character referees only knew him from an Internet chat room 3)The SIS ,New Zealands version of MI5 had their request for more funding refused and their budget actually cut under Labour. Tarrant had fought in Ukraine in the Azov Battalion,so maybe he would have been flagged as a potential risk. Instead gun owners were scape goated,evidence was sealed for 100 years followed by a rash of retirement by senior police. Sound familiar?

Pectin plays a big part yes. That's why pippy things like raspberries make easy setting jam. But boiling time, (level of reduction), and sugar content are also big factors. Though those last two are essentially the same thing I suppose. I did add two bottles of pectin to the mix.

Isn’t it pectin rather than boiling and boiling that makes it set?

A quiet day in the office no doubt Mike. No need to worry about productivity when you are in the public sector. We all know banning handguns in the UK has had zero upon actual gun crime. The law abiding handgun owners were useful scapegoats for monstrous police failings after Dunblane. Most people don’t even know about Hamilton being found in possession of an unlicensed weapon, never mind being able to construct an unbiased opinion.

Yes. "Correlation Firearms and Firearm Deaths The correlation between firearms and firearm deaths is a significant concern in various regions. Studies have shown that higher levels of gun ownership are associated with increased rates of homicide, particularly firearm homicide. This relationship is observed across high-income countries and even when the United States is excluded. The evidence suggests that where there are more guns, both men and women are at a higher risk for homicide, particularly firearm homicide." ... a summary of the internet by Google.

May be worth re-boiling - and reducing - with added lemon juice and another half of a green apple. Mine took ages to set. The recipe said 15-20mins rolling boil; it probably had 45 by the time I got the volume down sufficiently and a set.

There actually is not. There is however a inverse situation where by the low incidence of legal firearms ownership in inner city area's results in the highest incidence of illegal firearms use. The UK and America are prime examples of that. Have you actually and kin idea of what you are going on about Steven?

There is a direct correlation between the number of guns in the general population and the number of people shot. Odd that.

He does have some strange ideas. Going back to mid-September for his worst.

You can actually have a pistol for the purpose of target shooting. See below https://hbsa-uk.org/hbsa-what-we-do/hbsa-what-we-do-heritage-pistol-section-7-1-7-3/

Looking good. You did better than me. I spent hours last night boiling it, trying to get a set. I gave up in the end as it was getting too late, and hoped for the best. Came down this morning to find 10 large jars of very runny stuff. Frustrating. Not sure if Meddlars are particularly hard to get a decent set with, but my strategy of trying to make a reduced sugar jam didn't help.

I think it's a great as a canopy, obviously not what you'd want for day long, never out the seat shifts on a Scottish hillside but for on off on off one man band work in Hertfordshire it's ideal 👍

Valid point. I don't think the firearm system in the UK is perfect by any stretch, but to make concealable firearms available to anyone for the purpose of self defence is a steep downward spiral in my opinion. I'd love to be able to use a registered pistol for the purposes for target shooting mind.

Next years priorities are s30 hitches and buckets/ conversions and a grab. Was supposed to be this years, but I got distracted by this digger, a forklift, tracked dumper and a Defender 😆 🤣

My Muslim did a good job 🤣 The first little batch. Boy I had to reduce it to get it to set. Less sugar next time; it's too sweet

One day you'll realise nobody actually takes your "advice", they'll roll their eyes but that's about it.

Sorry mate, you can’t come in unless you’ve got a tie. I mean grab!
