  1. Past hour
  2. never buy a border collie when you're drunk.
  3. Cool seeing as you are being cooperative how about the outstanding questions that have been put to you. You’ve been told before about stealing other people’s material 😞
  4. I’m keeping it factual and simple for you lad, don’t be a prick eh it’s not a given every Friday you know. You suffer badly from TDS as you are aware. Try and be objective occasionally
  5. I am assuming you mean the protestors killed in Tehran? I also assume that you will go off on one unless we agree with you that law enforcement killing civilians for not following orders is acceptable? Reality is it’s a shame some kids have lost their biological parents, life goes on. That’s not being callous it’s just the reality of things.
  6. Unfortunately, sadly unbeknown to her 6 months ago he asked someone to stop and they didn't, which very nearly killed him. When he asked this person to stop and she didn't, experience told him his life was in danger and asking people nicely who don't obey can kill you. If you nearly get killed, next time you're in that situation instinct and training tells you to act. Very sad, hindsight is a wonderful thing. As @Squaredy says, whatever country you're in, just do what an armed under pressure cop tells you, whether you agree with it or not. Its the person without the gun who unfortunately is the loser. Like when a pedal bike carves up a lorry on a busy junction. If there's a collision, whoever is in the right or wrong, the bike is always the loser and there's no round 2.
  7. Nowt to do with with leftard anything. It's just you communicating like a toddler.
  8. You’d have to ask the expert, as stated it’s interesting to see the different level of outrage.
  9. could this be yet another example of whataboutery?
  10. Has anyone had any experience with their largest chipper CRC500H I believe it’s named
  11. I’m pleased you find the situation amusing SP/TA If an armed officer was standing on the line of cones would you still drive through them. Anyway all the leftard TDS outrage won’t bring her back. So what’s your views on the multiple protestor deaths at the hands of the Islamists, men women and children desperate to get out from under that oppressive regime ??.
  12. Yes I drink the Guiness if I am trying to be sociable
  13. That made me laugh. "If she had followed orders"... because we all know well that everyone so directed will always follow orders. Stick out some traffic management cones to see how well they behave.... ANYONE who has to deal with law enforcement has to know that the public DO NOT follow orders, they are not trained monkeys to do as demanded. So to say "If she had followed orders" is simply demonstrating a distinct lack of knowledge of people. As far as I can make out there was no warning the he would shoot, there was less than a second between him drawing his gun and shooting - his mind was made up he was going to shoot (if you care to google driving reaction times, she wasn't given time to react to the drawn gun before she was shot). He stopped feet from the front of the car, there was no risk to others, put himself at risk - and in all training the common theme is do not put yourself at unnecessary risks. If he had walked 2 foot further he would not have been in danger. Whether that is law enforcement or tree climbing the rule is the same. She was a housewife, the car was identified with its registration plate, pick her up later. Or kill her? Noting she was not an immediate threat to anyone (till the officer stood in front of the car). So he screwed up, acted beyond what is reasonable and killed a woman. A woman who was not at all aggressive in any of the videos leading up to her death.
  14. some of those ICE look like they would have enjoyed being in the Klu Klux Klan. Total white power nut jobs. Of course there are the odd few black ICE agents, but most are white and proud. Racists deporting illegals, coz its a taxpayer funded pension too.
  15. I rest my case Mark. Leftard arrogance from yourself as usual brought on by a huge dose of TDS. Reality is I’m not overly fussed about her death, whilst it’s a shame some kids have lost their biological mother, life goes on. That’s not being callous it’s just the reality of things.
  16. Today
  17. Can you write that in English? Embellish on the emojis if you will. Ta.
  18. Is that how you read that 😞objectivity Mark 🤷‍♂️ like I say mention Trump and it’s out the window.
  19. Straight out of billionaire funded, pro maga, far right cosplay. Your algorithms must be steeped in that kind of stuff. Have a word with yourself. One moment you're saying that if he did mess up then he'll be in the shit. The next you're suggesting that it was all her fault.
  20. There has been an issue with those batteries. Speak to your dealer as they will be replaced if still in warranty. This is the improved replacement battery. ECHO Battery LBP-56V125 - Skyland Equipment SKYLANDEQUIPMENT.COM The updated LBP-56V125 is the latest advancements in ECHO’s 56V lithium battery line up. Designed for superior performance, they feature improved connectors that minimize...
  21. Min 45 men women and children killed by the Islamist regime 🤔 1 activist killed by police 🤔 Interesting to see which one riles up the leftards.
  22. 🧐 On January 7, 2026, a mother of three was shot and killed in Minneapolis during a federal immigration operation. The facts are disputed, the video is being parsed frame by frame, and the politics are already hardening. But there’s a deeper inversion here that has nothing to do with your preferred narrative. We are teaching people that obstructing law enforcement is a form of virtue. Not voting. Not persuading. Not suing. Not organizing. Obstructing. Physically inserting yourself into a high-voltage encounter and calling it righteousness. That moral inversion has a cost, and it rarely gets paid by the activist alone. She left behind three children. They did not volunteer for her cause. They don’t get to vote on her risk tolerance. They don’t get to opt out of the consequences. They just inherit them. Here’s the hard truth the commentary keeps dodging: when you’re a parent, your “values” are not a private hobby. They are choices that shape someone else’s entire life downstream. Your family is not a side character in your public morality play. They’re the first obligation. Or they’re supposed to be. “The Cause” cannot raise your children. If you want to fight immigration policy, there are lawful lanes: elections, legislation, court challenges, journalism, organizing, peaceful protest that doesn’t cross into direct confrontation. You can be fierce without gambling your children’s future on an encounter you cannot control. This is the moral inversion: we’re applauding behavior that a sane civilization would recognize as a reckless prioritization of political emotion over parental duty. I’m not saying her children were unloved. I’m saying they were left unprotected by the very culture that tells adults, especially parents, that “the cause” is a higher calling than the people who depend on them. Tragedy should produce compassion. It should also produce clarity. When we sanctify obstruction as heroism, we encourage the next person to step closer to the edge. And when they fall, it won’t just be their life that hits the ground. It will be the lives tethered to theirs They wouldn’t have been be there. She was well aware of who she was dealing with and what her role was that day.
  23. Been using the 2500T for 3ish years. Great saw, but several batteries (LBP-50-150) have now packed it in for me. Four in total now, with 2 in the last 2 months, hence my current frustration. Of the two faulty one's I have in front of me, one simply is flat and won't charge. The other won't charge, nor work in the saw for more than a second or two before cutting out, despite showing 2 bars of charge remaining. I was using the latter one yesterday and it definitly got a bit wet in light rain so maybe that has something to do with it. But they've been out in worse before, although I avoid them getting wet as best I can. And honestly, in the UK industry how the hell are we supposed to work with kit that can't handle being used in the rain? I'd be tempted by the new 3500t were there a way to solve the battery issue. What have others expereinces been? Similar accounts to provide solidarity? Differing accounts to restore some hope of a future with this saw? Or better still, any ideas how to fix the very expensive bits of trash I have sitting in front of me?
  24. If he hadnt walked in front of her to video her car as another agent was trying to drag her out of the car he wouldnt have had to shoot her in the face. He put himself in unnecessary danger to get a video. If you with your military training doesnt know how to act in that situation do you think a civilian who is being attacked by a masked man in combat gear wearing a mask getting out of an unmarked car who has just been told to get out of the way can reasonably follow instructions? "If she had obeyed the instructions she would still be alive " If it was say you wife, daughter, mother and someone asked why did an ICE agent shoot her in the face 3 times would you quote the above?
  25. I suppose it keep Epstein out the news for a day or two.
