Morning troops . The wind is winding biggley . Heavy over night rain . Happy Friday !

White slush out, and more incoming. On patrol looking for biomass type of people today. I'll not drag the demo unit about, I had a couple of scary moments the other day in the ice! Be careful and return home safe!.... Fall, Salaam.

Morning chaps and any chapets. Cold, doesn't seem as clear as the last few days, but not bad overall. Have a good one.

Good Morning No Snow. My Father in Law always used to say. It looks good on post cards, I tend to agree. After a while the white fresh goes and is replaced by slushy grey. Sorry, bad kip again and woke up miserable. She's in the shower now! have a splendid Friday and great weekend, safely.

I love a couple of days of snow, the landscape looks different, there’s a different and glorious light, and the air is so nice to breathe, I feel like a kid. I’d sacrifice a couple of days of inconvenience once a year for the pleasure of snow. Happy Friday folks.

Happy Friday Arbtalkers 🥳🥳 I think we escaped the expected snow too 😊

I forgot one more thing: what SHOULD be in the news is that USA is 34-35 Trillion US $ in debt ,most of it to a "certain asian country"/China... And that the interest to be paid by US alone on that debt is about 1 trillion(1000 billion US $). Coincidentally ,that amount of ca$h is roughly THE SAME as US defence budget... SO : for first time in its history USA has to choose between spending on defence/Army stuff or on financial interest for some debt! Didn't took long until sht hit the fan and ,as usual, when you corner a dangerous animal ,it will attack you regardless of consequences! As seen in first days of 2026! Heavy crude oil is what is needed in USA refineries? Maduro goes to jail for life, US companies move in to steal/ "get their heavy crude oil back"... This is fcnkg beyond disgusting! And I bet its not the last of it that we'll see in 2026 or following years! China and Russia know the situation. That's why they're "SO QUIET"... They know what the crazy yankee are capable off... Russian invasion of Ukraine or even China attacking Taiwan would look like childs play in the park 🤔 May God have mercy on all the rest of us! And Greenland about to be taking over by force from Denmark... Next USA state... just watch the news in next 3 months! 😳

Don't joke yourself. Trump supporters/fanatics/lunatics will support him even if he kills one(or more) people in public . Here's one saying it on camera recording: And I'm very willing to bet there are more useless eaters like him. ALL wearing sun glasses... 🙄 MUCH more. Willing to do even more horrible things! I used to admire USA as a kid 30 years ago. Today ,I'm disgusted. Funny side: I know at least 3 people that even worked legally in USA in highly qualified jobs ,and after few years they came back in Romania. VERY dissapointed by everything! Safety in public places beeing one. Large volume of work with long hours another thing! I don't think / consider USA beeing a good place to live or work anymore. No matter what anyone tells me!

They reached Scotland and found Lead which they loved, they made all sorts of things from it including drinking vessels and even used it powdered as finings to clear their wine... ....what followed was madness from lead poisoning and the downfall of their whole empire..... this makes me smile... I'm hoping that something similar could happen to Starmer and most of todays political leaches.

I use Google Ads and it can work if you focus on intent instead of reach. Early campaigns pulled weak leads, but after MB Adv Agency tightened the keywords and fixed tracking, the budget stopped leaking and the calls started to make sense

Yep it’s a funny shape

I'm a reet snob! £15 box of chardonnay from Asda! Best after 3 pints of Proof of Concept (4.3) Cask in my local!

A Reuleax Squircle? A Superellipse?

Unless it is down the road and viewable or, you paid big for an insured asset value estimate, always go for a huge portion of Caveat Emptor off the sweet trolley! I've brought a couple of pigs before I learnt my lesson!

He sums it up fairly well to say the least.

Is that bottle a funny shape or your camera lens a funny shape?

Cheers, ill keep an eye out as it is not something that ive seen before. Thanks, the Mrs has has tried a few different bottles of 19 crimes. The problem is that she cant remember the good ones from the bad ones! IIRC the Halloween Frankenstein was good and the Uprising, maybe.

I prefer a more traditional French wine. A bottle of Cahors is always good. Or the Lidl Rioja if I'm feeling tight.

Might be worth checking out some of the 19 Crimes offerings. (One of Snoop Dogg's money spinners). They're certainly very smooth, and very full bodied. She likes them, though I find them a little sweet. You can normally find them on offer under the tenner limit.

Pepperbox Aussie Shiraz is pretty nice. That’s a top-end wine for me. £8.50 at Tesco if it’s on a club card deal.

I looked at those a couple of years ago. Hugely confusing selection of models. Some rifled, some smoothbore, some belt fed, some rotary mag, some pellet, some bb, etc. No logic to the combinations. Gave up. Post a group when you've got used to it.

Nice1. Ill keep an eye out for it tomorrow.

Having watched the videos it does look like the ICE officer was out of order, and it is totally wrong of Trump to immediately declare he did no wrong. There clearly needs to be a proper investigative process. But there is a lesson there for other people. If a number of armed officers of the law are trying to speak to you or arrest you it is probably wise to comply. She did not deserve to die but she played with fire to try and drive off when being apprehended. She is also partly to blame.
