Because we can all read and some of us have read the relentless posts on here slating 'green' energy such as wind turbines, maybe it was you that said you were against wind turbines? Perhaps.

Force-it-inn? Bit rapey perhaps..

Anyone who heeds those signs and turns around is a coward. Risk it all and if you're wrong you unhitch the chipper and turn around with your pride intact. Same as those pointless temporary lights when there's nothing to avoid. Most of the time they don't have planning permission anyway. Fair game.

I'm also self-employed. It's usually a good idea to hedge your bets. When you go on holiday do you get a snorkel, or have you lost your Aquaman vibe altogether due to it being work?

Fawcett Down?

Despite our not insignificant reserves of oil, our planet is going to become inhospitable. Perhaps that's why the Yanks want Greenland, it'll have running water when the rest of us are killing each other for water.

I've drank in that pub. They were serving their own house Cider at the time. Can you guess what it was called?

No such thing as safe Mark, self employed so currently not working so currently not earning. By choice mind at the min but that’s not always been the case.

Who said I’m against it Mark !! What is madness is not extracting our own oil when we can, the logic of saying we are good we are green because we don’t drill for oil, yet use it all the same is absurd not unlike shutting all the mines yet for decades after importing millions of tons of coal. You cant dive within the limits of wind farms Mark. Diving is controlled by a permit to work system from the main ops centres and SCUBA is not allowed to be used commercially, diving is a job not a hobby for me bud. It’s good to see places like Blyth/Cambios on the up, of course that’s a plus. The pragmatism displayed by the Norwegians is what I’d like to see not the lunacy exhibited by Milliband. My own views are energy generation should be state owned. Milliband signed a 1.8 billion contract today, you want to know how much of that will go to overseas companies and workers???

Per Capita the Yanks emit more greenhouse gasses than the Chinese. I know you moved house because of the windturbine pylons, but, come on, you're not shy of some hard earned cash. Loads of young people are being trained up to be blade techs , especially from places like the NE where industry has stagnated. Why not encourage it? Your job is safe either way as your sector will adapt. Plus SCUBA and spear fishing is cool around windturbines... In reality though, level 1 IRATA - maybe get a few hours doing geo tech, Sea Survival course , blade repair ticket, £350 a day if you like the idea of repairing windturbines. You even get paid for weather days.

It’s cos I’m watching Millionaire Hotseat.

These days I watch a lot of quiz shows. Mostly I have no idea of the rules, I just answer the questions. Not a fricking Scooby what’s going on. The Chase The wheel The Wall 1% club no idea, and don’t give a toss either.

Anyone with a knackered 550mk mk1? Need crankcases and various other parts? Thanks

What a load of utter nonsense WTF is an “ oil generator “ 😂😂😂😂😂 I will guarantee you will be long gone before oil runs out you daft bugger, what you don’t understand is to close our own sector then buy from the one next door is pure dumb arse stupidity, look at the more sensible comments on here, and when you can tell me what is gonna be used as a substitute for the thousands of products oil is used in ( including your beloved wind turbines) I’ll maybe have a bit of respect for your opinion. You have zero knowledge of or experience in either industry as everyone knows. Reality ( not fantasy) is a balance is what’s required something you just can’t seem to grasp. Talking of fossil fuels lad, you still chugging away burning that imported coal ??, just about finishing putting a new morso into the new property. Got to do your bit eh SP/TA you should consider it, bit of hard graft and prep be good for you, far better for the environment than bringing in coal from overseas to burn here 🤔🤔Greta wouldn’t like your carbon footprint wee man.

Iran might have re-armed this time with far better weapons. US jets and military personnel are in the shter... There was at least one big ship coming from China a few months ago ,intercepted by US army... Nobody said why or what it was carrying but it wasn't allowed to reach Iran! If Iran has indeed upgraded to chinese weapons(whatever those may be) they will cause big problems/damage to US and Israeli forces in the next days! This could be a reason why BIBI is against US military strikes on Iran... He knows this time Israel might be really bombed... If one ICBM has a nuke on it and gets past Israeli air defences, the sht just hit the fan... As if many iranian ICBM's haven't got past air defences last time things got rough for Israelis... One thing is for sure: another oil war is about to start... reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM

It's like not feckin' your girlfriend to keep it tight for the next guy.

You and your legendary comprehension of the written word. Go back to what I wrote, read again, understand, make notes. Ask your kids for help with any of the big words.

There could be hundreds of years.... but the minds in the business and the oil companies are predicting 35 to 50 years so I am inclined to go with them and their ££ millions in tech that measure these things (UK is at the lower end of that scale by the way). It is something that JonsonD doesn't understand that when it does run out.. and the prediction it might be within my life... that fighting against windmills, solar plants and so on kind of says to the kids "fck you, we did OK, problem is yours now"... so at what point do we need to sit down and plan for the future, build an infrastructure that doesn't rely on gas and oil? Now? when the kids are middle aged? or when the world goes "Oh shit, it has all gone"? Might be worth noting that the majority of Africa and large parts of China and India are not on an electrical grid network... when they get connected unless someone is leading the way, saying 'go green' they will go with oil, massive increase in demand, and do we want to sleep walk into the future where there are double the people competing for the same oil... pushing up the prices... supply and demand... just as it is all running out... or back to the point I have been making over the years, we wean ourselves of oil now, off foreign control of our power? (Nigeria for example might not want to export its resources if it is needed there, Russia has a mentalist in charge, so does the US, the Iranians are not our friends (get a bit hostile there, oil prices rocket), we are at the mercy of the oil producers) Report out this week that the new round of UK wind turbines have a 'strike price' (what they are paid) of about 70% of what the oil generators are asking for. This is the part that needs the overhaul that what we pay is linked to the oil generators and not what the distributors pay and not what it costs the generators...and the difference is a nice ££ millions into the foreign shareholders back pockets... at our expense.

Atleast the Venezuela dictator had a bit of business acumen!.
