  1. Past hour
  2. More of that, please.
  3. Opposite buds fit the bill (ha!). I really don't know for sure, I reckon acer is a good shout. Bark looks like Rosaceae of sorts, or Lime, possibly even alder, but the buds don't fit the last two.
  4. NONCE.
  5. Personally, I think that given the data-driven world we live in, the likelyhood of ID cards being integrated with everyday tasks is a real, and worrying prospect. Do really want to refused a burger because your ID says you obese? Not something that should be encouraged.
  6. And yet your more than happy for someone to throw around the fiddler and rapey term almost on a level instead of calling someone Mr, that shows more about the mental condition of someone than anything. Granted he's probably editing Wikipedia for every war lord and dictator except his red masters obviously.
  7. Victim blaming is never OK in my book.
  8. That was supposed to read flails last 4 seconds on rock impact!
  9. I've got an alpha delta tow behind quad mower. It's sort of a strange hybrid Scottish /Chinese machine. Very heavy flail shroud that will probably last my lifetime with pretty shit soft chinese couplings from engine to primary pulley, that aim to eat themselves as fast as possible. Original bearings made of cheese but easily transferred to good quality from local ag suppliers. Cast rather than forged original flails that last 40 seconds on rock impact, but again readily exchanged to professional blades from local suppliers. 15 h loncin engine rattled itself apart at timing case , but spotted the oil pissing everywhere, and shut down before seizure occurred! As a flail on heavy rushes its easily overwhelmed, on light grass I could travel faster but it would start to miss bits. Good, maintenance minimal, drive belt setup from primary pulley down. Would I buy the same again? Probably not - would get a lighter faster cutting, swipe blade type machine and put up with perhaps multiple cuts and more frequent blade changes on my rocky ground, with considerably less weight horsing the quad around.
  10. This is exactly what I was on about. A 40+ year old whisking a school girl away to a private island... She might understand what is expected of her, Epstein certainly had intentions and yet here you are, blaming the victim, the perpetrator is never mentioned is he? The school girls didn't approach Epstein - he or Maxwell sought them out. The girls were approached. They didn't instigate their rapes. Remember here, Epsteins victims were as young as 11. But that is where we are, blame the victim. Her fault? Apologist for a pedo.
  11. Fifty years ago, when a particularly wet area with soft rush, water meadow, had become particularly dry, I took the Kuhn drum mower and cut it low, it was very effective and the blades were due for replacement as they had done the hay cut earlier. It cut shrubs that had grown up too. The disadvantage was the mower had to be used offset. A week ago I saw a Kubota with a front mounted disc mower doing a very good job of cutting gorse about 4 foot high and up to an inch stem diameter as well as heather and senescent bracken, on an SSSI. The nightjar should have fledged and flown south a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday the same tractor was making big bales and the whole job looks superb, I have yet to find out what the bales are going for. Excuse the blurry photo, I seem to be suffering from DTs
  12. As far as I can tell here the objections are that they are something we don't have, something new. No practical downsides mentioned yet. In France (closest example) and many other place you don't need to carry them - much the same that you don't need to carry a drives license to drive a car, but if you need to prove who you are you can grab the card and prove it. Digital just means, like the drivers licenses the authorities will have a database they can refer to. End of paper bills and the old "2 forms of ID, a recent utility bill" is tricker - so some digital system will be needed I think, so why not. Anyway, waiting for practical downsides apart from not liking anything new.
  13. OK easier to access and get better care. All of your medical history can be accessed quickly when you need treatment. As it is now its garbage. Digital ID will help with that. What do you think the downsides of digital ID are?
  14. @Steve Bullman Can you either ban the paedo fan, or ban me, or both, please?
  15. Plus a flail on anything that small will be like watching paint dry through a telescope. Just buy a 4/5ft topper, most of us have gone Topper to flail and then regretted it, then gone back to a topper or the flail gathers dust.
  16. Today
  17. NONCE.
  18. Put the bottle away, listen to mommy and have a cup of coffee whilst you sit in the corner thinking about how you've wasted a perfectly good evening, again.
  19. NONCE.
  20. Do you actually believe your own stupidity? Or has the huffing on ones own exhaust created an ever reducing circle of intelligence
  21. NONCE. You had a chance, but you didn't take it.
  22. And welcome to the left world of double standards, double speaking and only it it aligns with whichever way the wind is blowing at that very second.
  23. Quit while you're behind or you're going on the register.
  24. If I had a nephew and he was in a balanced, consensual, loving, relationship (with someone who wasn't a massive paedophile), I don't think it would be right for me to have problem with it. Same with my nieces. Exploitation is a different thing, and I'd like to think that we both know that. We've all, whey apart from Gareth, shagged older women when we were younger. There is a big difference between1 night stands and taking them to a private island.
  25. You also have reach to back under low branches, and backing up to ditch without ditching tractor.
