  1. Past hour
  2. Removing a rotten ash ivy covered stem that had fallen across. Then ladder up a chesnut that had already been stripped and peice down the stem. Havent been using my spikes much so took me a while to get used to it on the learning stem. Boss called a nice early finish 1pm so went to get some lunch, everything soaked. Tomorrow might be dry so ropes can dry out then.
  3. 😂😂That’s not an attack wee man, I can assure you the only thing you do that astounds me is this deranged ability to never ever answer any question put to you. Now now SP/TA twisting people’s words and lying is exactly why you were called out and had your arse handed to you a few days ago. Your maths are driven by the exact emotions Mark describes Envy and Loathing 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️the curse of the Leftard mind.
  4. Agree in part, if it’s a private company that has been created and built up etc what they pay the top people is up to them. My views on certain industries ie energy, water, steel etc etc that are essential to every day life and the security of the state is that they should be publicly owned, the salaries being paid in many of these and I include the NHS gravy train are way ott.
  5. The Ranger ( Double not King) is fine Mark, working it’s arse off at the moment and a proper asset with the recent weather we’ve had up here. For a good few days multi millionaire wealthy selfish farmers and tractors and 4x4 crew cabs was all that was on the road, didn’t help that it came over the Xmas New Year holiday period hence the public sector council gritters and ploughs were nowhere to be seen. Thanks for asking. Being serious here, I feel neither envy or loathing whatsoever for the Duke of Westminster or anyone else with more than I do, to hell with living your life like that. If race baiting is calling out the ludicrous situation where we are allowing in blagging scum that are statistically more likely to attack children,girls and women than our own home grown shite then I’ll take it.
  6. Sly Dunbar, prolific reggae legend, dies aged 73 WWW.BBC.CO.UK The drummer and producer played with everyone from Bob Marley to The Rolling Stones and Madonna.
  7. Today
  8. No you rightarded idiot. Simple sums laid bare, that was all. Why do you attack when you are astounded by others ability to do simple mathematical sums? Is it out of your envy, or astonishment that others can do what you cannot?
  9. Is it not that the highest earners are interstellar... The CEOs compared to average worker 21:1 1965 290:1 2023 It's well out of whack. Bit like Thames water putting up bills, after paying out all that money and I read the other day that 50% of all water pumped gets lost to leaks! Absolutely astonishing! There needs to be more balance. CEOs of companies, when shit hits the fan, seems to saunter off into the sunset with some juicy pension.
  10. Apparently going across the slope rather than up and down, and then it rolled rather than sliding, so I have been told.
  11. Would you be out mulching on steep ground with the current weather, been wet wet down here in west Somerset.... He went a long way down a steep hill. Lucky to be alive me thinks. Bashed his head fair. Tractor looks absolutely done for.
  12. Different scales, as you well know. How's that king cab pickup working out for you? Don't try to play the fool, you do it with the race baiting, it just makes you look like a dick. Envy (loathing)plays a part in things, as it's not on that you or I will make the interest he earns though nothing, when we work long hours, away from family, in inhospitable conditions. The wee people in society will be even more stuffed if we don't do something soon.
  13. Tax avoidance which you have said on several occasions is legal and acceptable. Envy 🤔🤔isn’t that a sin Mark.
  14. The envy of the leftards is never far from the surface. You been sulking SP/TA after you had your arse handed to you recently for lying wee man. 😂😂
  15. Nail on head. Westminster Estate is just one of many. They take our resources and put it in trusts where they have sole access to it. So aye, tax the wealth.

  17. That 6% tax instead of paying a 40% tax doesn't pay many times over. Lets assume that a generation is 30 years - granddad to dad to me - 30 years each time - that 40% would be paid sort of every 30 years when one dies. Which if my sums are right is 3 lots of the 6%... or 18% ? That is smaller isn't it and probably less than a lot of ordinary people will be paying.

  19. Pretty much tax avoidance then 🤷‍♂️which you yourself have said on several occasions is something you and your accountant partake of and is totally legal and acceptable Mark.
  20. Doing the rounds on Irish social media at the moment…. ScreenRecording_01-27-2026 15-39-04_1.mov
  21. Not a 2.7 tonner but should make a nice compact arb machine. https://www.earthmoversmagazine.co.uk/digger-man/view,eurocomach-reaching-out_5218.htm#:~:text=Competing in the 1.5 to,peeled over the coming weeks.
  22. Cheers Grok.
  23. Depends how you class a defender 90 , thats not used for business
  24. Total parasites! Get rid of them!
  25. The Duke of Westminster's inheritance of the multibillion-pound Grosvenor estate, often reported around £9-£10 billion, was largely exempt from the standard 40% UK inheritance tax due to the use of complex, long-established trust structures. These trusts hold the assets, meaning they do not pass directly to the heir and therefore avoid immediate, massive death duties. Key details regarding this inheritance: Trust Structure: The estate is managed by trustees, separating legal ownership from the family, which keeps the assets outside individual, taxable estates upon death. Periodic Charges: While avoiding the 40% inheritance tax, such trusts are subject to a 6% "periodic charge" every 10 years, which acts as a form of tax, though it is significantly lower than standard inheritance tax. Estate Protection: These structures are designed to maintain the integrity of large, historical landholdings and businesses across generations rather than to specifically evade taxes. Legal Position: The use of trusts in this manner is legal, and the Grosvenor estate is considered one of the highest taxpayers in the UK through income tax, corporate tax, and other levies, despite avoiding inheritance tax
  26. Yes quite a lot actually. I agree we are all being played to an extent. But also many of us are playing. When someone like Elon Musk creates a company and does very well (let’s remember it will do well only if he provides something many people are willing to pay for) and creates tens of thousands of extremely well paid jobs, is that playing us all?
  27. So the Prosperity Institute. Controlled by four directors, only one of whom resides in the UK. Predominantly funded by a Dubai-based investment company that also funds GB News. (There seem to be questions around the owner of the investment group's links to Russia.) The balance of donations to the institute facing some controversy over funding transparency. This all seems like exactly the shadowy influence and dirty money that Mr Booby is trying to tackle. The "large group of pieces who are not always visible in the game but are able to manipulate both the main players and the pawns, and even change the board entirely to a completely different game, but usually with the same goal." That you were referring to in this post:- Us common people are all in the same boat, we're all on the same side. We're being played by the mega rich and powerful. As you say. Am I missing something?
