A "can't be arsed" sort of breakfast.... even the pate smelt like tinned cat food!

Morning all, Enjoyed some connie bashing yesterday at last. Two inches of snow if that here. Taking Hilux in for its service, windscreen not even frozen over outside. Be safe.

I forgot one more thing: what SHOULD be in the news is that USA is 34-35 Trillion US $ in debt ,most of it to a "certain asian country"/China... And that the interest to be paid by US alone on that debt is about 1 trillion(1000 billion US $). Coincidentally ,that amount of ca$h is roughly THE SAME as US defence budget... SO : for first time in its history USA has to choose between spending on defence/Army stuff or on financial interest for some debt! Didn't took long until sht hit the fan and ,as usual, when you corner a dangerous animal ,it will attack you regardless of consequences! As seen in first days of 2026! Heavy crude oil is what is needed in USA refineries? Maduro goes to jail for life, US companies move in to steal/ "get their heavy crude oil back"... This is fcnkg beyond disgusting! And I bet its not the last of it that we'll see in 2026 or following years! China and Russia know the situation. That's why they're "SO QUIET"... They know what the crazy yankee are capable off... Russian invasion of Ukraine or even China attacking Taiwan would look like childs play in the park 🤔 May God have mercy on all the rest of us! And Greenland about to be taking over by force from Denmark... Next USA state... just watch the news in next 3 months! 😳

They reached Scotland and found Lead which they loved, they made all sorts of things from it including drinking vessels and even used it powdered as finings to clear their wine... ....what followed was madness from lead poisoning and the downfall of their whole empire..... this makes me smile... I'm hoping that something similar could happen to Starmer and most of todays political leaches.

I use Google Ads and it can work if you focus on intent instead of reach. Early campaigns pulled weak leads, but after MB Adv Agency tightened the keywords and fixed tracking, the budget stopped leaking and the calls started to make sense

Yep it’s a funny shape

Unless it is down the road and viewable or, you paid big for an insured asset value estimate, always go for a huge portion of Caveat Emptor off the sweet trolley! I've brought a couple of pigs before I learnt my lesson!

I looked at those a couple of years ago. Hugely confusing selection of models. Some rifled, some smoothbore, some belt fed, some rotary mag, some pellet, some bb, etc. No logic to the combinations. Gave up. Post a group when you've got used to it.

So true So true . The safe system of work (RAMS) that we saw was often 100 pages and supposed to be issued a day prior to work. In practice it was given to the person in charge (Company Obligatory Safety Scapegoat) when he collected his truck to drive the men to a site. When I was first briefed on HSaW the bloke from HSE said the risk assessment should fit on an A4 piece of paper and be read to the workers before starting work but that was in the mid 80s

We might get a minus 10/12 Celcius this Sunday. Will time and measure how fast I get the stove hot 😁. No bituminous coal this time!

OK. Thanks guys

While I don't think many of us (?!) would really disagree with your points, I would make one exception -in the case of the tiny 18v/40v battery tree pruning saws . Such as Makita UC029G, Milwaukee M18 Fuel, etc These now offer several significant advantages over 2strokes, for climbers carrying out light pruning operations: lower weight, smaller size, lower noise, less vibrations, no repeated pull starting, cheaper, no exhaust burns, etc They also make good chipper saws, and handy to keep in the van, workshop, garden etc for odd jobs. So, after a few decades of tree-bothering experience, I'm now a convert to those 'battery toys', thanks Gabriel !!

That's just the use of tech though they can do all that now if they wanted to, 6G just means the communications can go faster - in fact they could have done most of that 10 years and at 4G too... I said above 6G as a tech doesn't worry me as much as the brain rot that we will use it for

Notice her what ?
