  1. Past hour
  2. Yes, 25. Handles most things with double cutting.
  3. Sosige, mash, onion gravy and mushy peas although I had cauliflower. Proper beige!
  4. Today
  5. Well finally πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ You mean extract our own oil which we will need for years to come from our own sector employing our own people as opposed to buying from abroad and shutting down our own sector πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Pragmatism Halle ****************ing Lujah Behold β€œ Pragmatism β€œ Norway will set a new direction for the oil and gas industry Welcome news yesterday from prime minister Jonas Gahr StΓΈre of Norway. The Labour government will present a new white paper to… | Per Arne Solend | 17 comments WWW.LINKEDIN.COM Norway will set a new direction for the oil and gas industry Welcome news yesterday from... And at the other end of the scale Behold the man entrusted with our energy security and needs.
  6. I was going to ask you if you think that the oil will run out, referencing my earlier comment about leaving a legacy for our children (lights on, or lights off). I think from this you believe the oil will run out? So the question is really, do you believe that the oil will start to run out in our lifetimes, our childrens or our grand childrens lives? And so at what point do we as a nation take a lead, and start building for the future where our increasing energy demands comes from Nuclear (the sun that power the 'green' stuff is a massive nuclear explosion). Leave the children with light or no lights. If we take all the oil all now - like the Norwegians appear to be doing, and run out in 35 to 50 years, anything that we cannot replace oil with is screwed. If we are pragmatic and switch to alternatives as soon as we can anything that cannot be replaced (with our current knowledge and tech) we might be able to make last 100 years or more? So at what point do we decide to make that switch as a nation to green energy if we had our time again to decide? Noting that the longer we leave the change over the more expensive it will be as every nation will then be competing for the materials to make the new infrastructure. So when should we make the switch? Now, leave it to the children or leave it to the grand children to do?

  8. Thanks Steve, decent stuff? It's just a bit of effort for me to take down so I'll probably chop it up as its free. Whats the seasoning time
  9. Hes a lying bastard Mick lol. I say mate!! He lives down the road, this is in his "mates" garden. Just have to chop it down myself. Bloody pineπŸ˜†
  10. There’s known reserves Stubby and there’s drilling and exploration, those reading up on it and claiming to be experts are just kidding themselves. Regardless of any of that if we need it which we do we should be extracting it from our own sectors, it gives revenue, jobs and some degree of control, to stop drilling and shut your own sector down yet buy from someone else extracting from basically the same basin is utter madness. To shut one supply of energy down before the other is ready is again ideologically driven stupidity. The SNP now slating labour are utter hypocrites as to appease the green tossers they created pointless six figure jobs for, in order to maintain control in holyrood, tried there best to shutdown development in the UK North Sea. It’s all well and good having a deranged fantasy about occupying the moral high ground and leading the world on a moral path but it’s not much good if you are skint, cold, and unemployed when you get there.
  11. Almost as if something like a twig or chest ascender biner could get stuck in it and cause an uncontrolled descent?
  12. Advertising and getting your name out there. I did not grow up where I live so do not have a network of contacts to start with so has taken a long time to establish myself. Cashflow is a problem for any small business. It still is for me now, very volatile income, I also farm which doesn't provide regular income, does however provide one thing you can rely on.. bills, endless
  13. Please dont do that. Coils put out high voltage at reasonable currents. The HT wire should just pull out of the coil and the plug cap. Get a new length of wire and rotate as you insert it. Plug caps can be a bit of a pain - squeze the rubber until the metal pin is roughly in the centre then jam it in whilst rotating.
  14. There is a crack in the insulation of the wire going from ignition coil to the engine on my Maruyama hedgetrimmer. It will start when engine covers are off but wont start with covers on, spark grounding off the metal engine via the crack in the wire. When i hold the wire in my hand and pull the hedgetrimmer over i can feel the electric pulse in my hand. I removed the ignition coil and the wire has a heatshield on it, crack is under the heatshield. The wire doesn't seem to be removable from the ignition coil itself, seems to be glued in or moulded in even, and the end which attaches to the sparkplug is moulded onto the wire. Do I have to get a new igniton coil or is there a trick of the trade for removing it from the coil so I can replace it.
  15. Brilliant album that one. The man, Jim Morrison, was a legend. Died well before his time.
  16. Finding work, and that can be an issue even after 30 years.
  17. Time Left: 6 days and 19 hours

  18. I’m doing a bit of informal research around arborists moving into sub-contracting or starting small tree businesses. For those who’ve made the jump (or are thinking about it): What was the hardest part in your first 6–12 months β€” outside of the climbing itself? Quoting, pricing, finding work, admin, cashflow, insurance, compliance, something else? Genuinely interested in real experiences rather than textbook answers Thanks
  19. About 50 years minimum that they know about without looking for more .
  20. Wikikipedia, BP, World Oil forums and so on suggest otherwise though. I think Norway knows exactly how long their oil will last and even if they are extracting more and more, that does not mean they have suddenly invented an oil creation machine though...
  21. Accepting any soft/ hard logs
  22. Thanks, which brand are these ? I've tried expanding the image but can't read the details.
  23. it clearly is dwindling, but by how much? As of 2026, humanity has used approximately 35–40% of total estimated recoverable oil resources, leaving roughly 60–65% remaining. if climate science is even half right burning the remaining oil will be a disaster, but humans are used to disasters, so nothing new. They say a massive lump of space rock did for the dinosaurs, so even with renewables it seems we can still be wiped out. Frack every well. " I don’t know what’s gonna happen, but I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames”
  24. The Norgies would say otherwise .
  25. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺ World leaders of our imagination alright. You’ve just imagined that for sure as no one said anything like it β€œBut where is the fun in that when we can slate the country we live in at every opportunity, grass is always greener, here is never good enough”
