I was meaning to photograph mine, pretty sure they don't even match each other, but suddenly I didn't.

Ha ha. Prick. Times and fortunes change. You'll always be a bellend. Off you trot.

Oh, we’re in that pitty train now are we? 🙄 I tell you what though, I’d be depressed as well if I lived like you do. 🤢

Depression is very real. What of it?

Oh, so it’s a “mental health condition “ now? Got your arse handed to you with that pathetic disease nonsense, eh?

People can heal from mental health conditions. There's no cure for the type of rat you are. And it's "self". You never were that good with words.

Friction at the rigging point is an old and tested process. It started with wraps around the tree at the rigging point, use of stubs etc. i have reluctantly used a potty in the tree, both as a rigging point and with a tail hold to prevent swing. Neither were easy or ideal. the safebloc or simple wraps are the way to go imho and what we use for compromised structures or limited numbers of staff.

You did 42 !! Don’t start your BS and drag my name up without any context. Put up the whole post 42 without selective editing then. If it’s included in one of your 10 question posts, then I’ve been there done that with you already, it’s a pointless exercise.

That’s unbelievable quite frankly. I can’t imagine how that must felt having to deal with that. The words Facist, Racist and Far Right are thrown around like confetti, to the point they are meaningless.

Noises, cumbersome and more hype than there worth

Current subject reminds me of this gem from 1968 when the staff of one of the Oxford colleges (can't remember which one) replied to the student's 'non-negotiable demands' with genuine glee. It's the threat of the chaplain that gives me the chills!

That was the one on marketplace, Portsmouth way? I thought it looked quite good value.

They will be live fused supply and feed to valve at end of loader, which looks like white wire along hydraulic pipes.

Firstly, I'm sorry to hear that your son has fallen foul of the system in this case. That must be a hard situation for all concerned. I take your point regarding the establishment, and it's failures, I'm sure that is a driver for social division. But the educational establishment specifically, no I don't see that. Not unless it's changed significantly since I was in it. Though I do admit, I wasn't remotely interested in politics as a child, or even a young adult. I don't believe that I was atypical in that. So it's hard to see exactly how much influence schools and universities actually exert, if most of their fodder is not politically minded at all. Hands up anyone who took any notice of all the political shenanigans in their young years? Are you sure about those Prevent figures? I'm not. I tried to have a similar discussion with Johnsond on this subject last year, to no avail. Shortly after the latest Prevent report had come out. I'll see if I can find it if I get some time. The largest type of referrals is for individuals judged to have no identified ideology, not RW. Personally, I'm glad that schools take the matter of radicalisation, of any persuasion, seriously. It's obviously far from ideal, but I'd rather that they be over cautious, than miss stuff that later turns out to be a problem. (Not applicable in your case obviously, so not a consolation. I don't know the details of course, nor would I wish to discuss them on an open forum.) Thinking about it some more though, in most of the recent high profile case, with tragic consequences, it's the Prevent program that's been at fault. They've missed things, or not acted on information that's been passed to them by other agencies or institutions. That's what happened with the Southport attack, and I'm sure some more that've made the headlines for plotting or actually carrying out awful attacks. That youth in Luton, Nicholas Prosper, wasn't even flagged on the system. It was only through luck that he didn't claim far more young victims. In some ways kids like these, with no identified ideology, but just a sick fascination with extreme violence are more of a concern, hinting at deeper societal problems. Which links back to the point about the deluge of unregulated extreme content on social media. Not to mention the numerous attacks driven by extreme Islamic ideology. So yeah, more clearly needs to be done on this issue. Probably not by schools, but certainly by Prevent and similar intelligence agencies and also some attempt at online content regulation. Even, dare I say it, parents should take more responsibility over the behaviours of their children. Too much is shirked and pushed onto schools these days, as I think you agree.

Funnily enough no

We weren’t interested in debate, just winding up teachers, after all their indoctrination what did my generation do? Voted Maggie in three times on the trot.

And I would hope that some of them actually engaged in the debate and encouraged you and other pupils to get involved, hence encouraging civil discussion of difficult subjects. These days divergent views are seen as a threat by many.

Yeh, and we all remember that picture you posted of your rat infested Council Flat. Its little wonder you're so secretive when thats what you reveal about yourself, and the fact you're a sef confessed alcoholic.

Did you have to mix your own Scuba Gas?

When I was in secondary school in the late 70s we used to bait left wing teachers (of which there were many) with ‘right’ wing opinions. We didn’t do it in a concious way, it was just a way of winding them up. The more professional teachers, who never opened their mouths about politics were accorded more respect.

I know we have a few chaps on here from North of The Border, don't know how many of them follow the footie. Just saw a couple of interesting items on Facebook. First one was that tickets for the World Cup are not selling well, as many folk are a tad wary of being dragged off by armed guards to have their nationality checked ( and that's the best case scenario ). The Scottish angle comes from news that Donald is clamping down on granting visas for many Nationals of certain countries, including fifteen taking part in the World Cup. The possible bonus for the Scots is that they could get to the knockout stage without playing a game, if their opponents are all refused entry! 😂😂😂

I haven't had much experience on 2.6t other than this machine with the shear that comes with it, hired in. The shear is very heavy for the machine and can make it very tippy, once you get the hang of that it's okay. It can't get through that big a diameter material but it is jolly handy pulling out material that you know you would struggle like hell with by hand. Also there is only one guy rather that two. Only other shear I used was on an 8t machine, very handy!
