Character building stuff. I once had a summer job cleaning the shitters at Otterburn army camp.

Back in the mid eighties I had a job selling Wynns Oils to garages all over London. 20 garages a day on my call sheet, all in an Honda Acty van or similar, absolutely hideous, never sold a goddam thing in 3 or so weeks. Spent the last week just sitting in car parks till it was time to go back to the office. Last straw was when some quick thinking Asian garage owners actually gave me back a couple of trays of the stuff, which infuriated my boss. Dark days.

Really impressed you had the time and inclination to type all that out.

Plus, as Mick often and rightly points out, the vehicle creates the proper impression. Instead of saying, “Big Daddy Dempsey is here to hammer your bush.” (as a big new Ford Ranger might), a hilariously small truck says, “I very obviously don’t care what you think.” which is more my vibe. Plus an ideal platform for Sailor to delight people at traffic lights. Or steal their Greggs.

What cannot be denied is that one group has a disproportionate amount of experienced ideologically driven fighters , whom having been trained and battle hardened in various conflicts and have in many cases been allowed to return home or welcomed in as refugees or asylum seekers . The insanity and leftard naivety of it is incredible.

That’s the spirit. £1500/day.

Big triple ladder in the bed, feet jammed in at the tailgate and lash the bottom section to the headboard frame. Tip it up a bit and push the sections out.

Brilliant. You could mount a crane on the back.

Sounds like one for @adw

You get it. I'm getting to the point where I simply refuse to live my life suffering wankerish forms etc. It can just all **************** off.

But like sue Grays report, big song and dance and then nothing will come of it. Johnson the lying cheating fat sack of spuds, very clearly lied to the house but no repercussions for him. He should beade to pay maintenance for his 30 children, that get him sweating.

It seems as if every month a new story comes out of Britain warning about the likelihood of future civil war. Retired colonel Richard Kemp recently gave a television interview during which he warned that the “Islamification” of the United Kingdom would lead to “inevitable conflict.” Several British academics specializing in the preconditions for civil conflict, including professors David Betz and Michael Rainsborough, have argued the same point. Kemp’s point of view carries the added weight of someone who has witnessed insurgent fighting firsthand. A former commander who carried out counter-insurgency operations in Northern Ireland, led British forces in Afghanistan, and held intelligence roles in Westminster, Kemp says Islamic immigrants’ refusal to integrate into British society means that things in the U.K. are “getting bad” and about to “get worse.” Among other provocative comments that will no doubt ruffle the feathers of Britain’s “ruling class,” Kemp notes, “There were more British Muslims with the Taliban than in the British Army.” The combat veteran argues that Britain’s political class has failed citizens by putting them in harm’s way and is simultaneously incapable of mitigating its failures due to suffocating concerns for what can be said out loud. “No government,” Kemp argues, “has the guts to stop…the Islamification of the U.K.” Consequently, ordinary Brits now need to prepare for the likelihood of “civil war in Europe.” Describing the looming conflict in the U.K. as a far more serious and deadly situation than what gripped Northern Ireland for decades, Kemp predicts that the coming civil war will involve “indigenous British and some of the immigrant population and the British government all on three different sides fighting against each other.” Drawing on his experience with insurgent forces, the retired colonel blames disenfranchisement in Britain for the future violence: “The big problem that British people have is they don’t have political choice. We don’t really live in a democracy….Whatever party you vote for, you get the same policies. That applies also to immigration and to the way in which the Islamic population is allowed to grow in numbers and dominance.” As academics Betz and Rainsborough have also argued, Kemp sees the unwillingness of the U.K.’s political class to respect the will of voters with regards to immigration, Brexit, and the preservation of traditional culture as the proximate cause of the civil war to come. Democratic institutions provide citizen-voters with a “release valve” through which they can express pent-up frustration without resorting to violence. The problem is that a political “uniparty” operates in the U.K., as it does throughout most of the West. It doesn’t matter whether Brits hand power to a Labour or Tory prime minister; they get non-stop Islamic immigration regardless. When native Brits publicly protest the “Islamification” of the U.K., both Labour and Tory members of parliament call them “racist” and prosecute them for “hate.” When native Brits march through downtown cities to condemn Islamic rape gangs and Islamic terrorism, both Labour and Tory members of parliament call them “racist” and prosecute them for “hate.” When native Brits rally to prevent the construction of super-mosques in rural parts of Britain, both Labour and Tory members of parliament call them “racist” and prosecute them for “hate.” Therefore, citizens in the U.K. have learned that voting accomplishes nothing and that their so-called political “leaders” are incapable of defending British lives or British ways of life. The British pot is boiling, and Kemp adds his voice to a growing chorus of professionals with expertise in violent civil conflicts who predict a war-ravaged kingdom in the near future. “I think the people will feel they have no option than to take action into their own hand rather than rely on political leaders who are doing nothing,” Kemp stated in another interview. “I think there is every likelihood” of “civil war in the U.K. in the coming years.” What Kemp describes in the U.K. is occurring all over Europe. While members of the continent’s “elite” political ruling class have spent the last several decades obsessing about the weather and how to make the world “green,” technological innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, and industrial self-sufficiency have diminished. Although most nations of Europe have replaced historic monarchies with forms of representative democracy, a class of aristocratic nobles has managed to insinuate itself into the powerful positions of “representative” government. Perhaps because of this feudal mentality, European politicos cannot resist the appeal of centralized, top-down, government-controlled economies. While “elites” micro-manage European industry and commerce and choose “winners” and “losers” as lords do vassals, free markets malfunction. The end result is that Europeans get poorer, have fewer babies, and perpetuate a century of decline. Europe’s aristocratic ruling class has responded to this demographic decline by inviting third-world migrants from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East to become citizens of Europe. Rather than successfully addressing the continent’s generational crisis by replacing local babies with foreign ones, European “elites” have engineered a certain “clash” between Western and Islamic civilizations. In the U.K. alone, ten major cities — including Birmingham, Bradford, Manchester, and parts of London — are on their way to having majority-Muslim populations over the next decade or two. These are historically blue-collar areas where native Brits have gotten only poorer as foreign nationals take over neighborhoods that locals once called home. Mosques are rising everywhere. Islamic groceries, restaurants, festivals, and religious celebrations replace the food and customs of local families whose presence goes back centuries. There is no social integration of any kind. As economic conditions continue to decline and cultural flashpoints become more frequent, globalist politicians who praise “multiculturalism” as if it were a virtue and repeat, “Diversity is our strength,” as if it were a divine truth are about to discover how dangerous it is to mix many incompatible cultures together. Like a carbonated beverage shaken without any concern for the mess, the cultural pressure within these Islamified European cities is ready to explode. As retired colonel Richard Kemp argues, this cultural explosion will be much worse because Europe’s political “ruling class” has prevented voters from making course corrections that are popular with the public but unpopular with European “elites.” In France, the Netherlands, Germany, Romania, and elsewhere, ruling “elites” use institutional gamesmanship to block “populist” political parties from coming to (or exercising) power. Anti-immigration political candidates are prosecuted for “hate crimes,” “Russian collusion,” or other made-up crimes. Unelected aristocrats on the European Council secretly fund pro-immigration candidates in national elections and censor European citizens who express outrage on social media platforms over mass migration from foreign cultures. In national parliaments and the European Union, members continue to pass laws that effectively criminalize public dissent to official government policies. Europe’s political “ruling class” has angered a growing share of the European public, and rather than address the reasons for the public’s anger, that same “ruling class” has chosen to silence ordinary Europeans and threaten them with prosecution and imprisonment. When all of the “release valves” for a civil society have been welded shut, society stops being “civil.” Europe’s “elites” have created the conditions for a bloody civil war — because entire civilisations will be warring against each other.

I have one motor that was made in 1970… it can sit there and it doesn't cost you a penny. Joyful motoring. Part of the reason I was exploring the option of a small mog to replace my transit, No tax and no MOT!

Isn't it the case the pre-1985 are only tax and MoT exempt if not used for business purposes though?

Good morning, I acquired a Husqvarna K750 concrete saw in with a package of saws all none runners. All saws are up and running including the K750 which was low on compression suffering from usual lack of maintenance, filters complete trashed or missing and air deflector missing so ingested dust and poor cooling causing a partial seizure. All rebuilt and running well but somebody prior has messed with the carb settings and the workshop manual that I have does not have basic carb settings or method of setting carb. It just says 'carb set in factory, do not adjust' Can anybody help with the settings, particularly the 'H' setting? It seems to be a bit touchy to set and I don't want to lean it out. I've set it very rich at the moment but a basic setting would be good. Thanks in advance
