I would imagine that's as difficult as trying to sew a button on a fart.

That's more like it I likes the big-gun on the right.

It's hard enough now to get some to even admit to owning a saw!

I seriously considered replacing my old battle scarred Zetor 6748 fitted with, winch,crane,loader,forks,and anything else euro 8, with one of these just because the old Zetor was a bit overkill for just pottering around the yard and close proximity, initially it looked good but after a while issues such as mentioned here started to surface and I decided the old zetor was a more reliable bet, so I kept it and bought a garden tractor with a tow hitch instead, just for moving smaller gear around. I can mend both of those without a laptop plugged into them.

What do NHS workers say are the biggest problems with the health service? | YouGov YOUGOV.CO.UK 86% of NHS staff see the service as being in a weak state, with just 38% expecting the... various opinions about both labor and Tories, I wonder how reform will fare if or when they have the reins.

reminds me of something that happened many years back now, 3 of us were having a Jamesons with a dear old friend, reminiscing old tales,as you do, and in the next room absolute mayhem and chaos going on with his two young sons, suddenly,, deathly silence,, "what have you done? you had better not have broken something" says the father Cletus, [yes that's his real name] "nothing da" comes the reply along with a fair amount of giggling and mumbling, "well you broke some thing, I heard the crash and it's gone quiet, show me" "ok" Youngest appears in the doorway holding an electric fire, "It looks alright to me, wheres your brother" "on the other end da" "well come here both of you and sit and be quiet for a while" more mumbling,, and they slowly walk into the room,, the other brother has the fires 3 pin 13 amp plug embedded firmly in his head, !! Cletus gets up, walks over and calmly pulls the offending plug from the boys head,almost lifting him from the sofa, and says "now stop clowning around in the house before someone gets hurt" that was 30 odd years ago, it took a week or more before I could tell the tale without cracking up into hysterical fits of laughter.

sorry but that surprised me carefully hidden within the post, I had to spit me Guinness back into the glass to prevent choking.

Dear Ma and Pa: I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Johnson by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled. I was restless at first because you get to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. But I am getting accustomed to sleeping in late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing. Men got to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food, plus yours, holds you until noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much. We go on "route marches," which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A "route march" is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks. The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none. This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes. Then, we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake . I only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he's 6'8" and near 300 pounds dry. Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding in. Your loving daughter, Alice

I have to agree with much of that. and not just because I don't wanna get chucked in the canal.

quite likely, but someone had to give it the information. and I didn't see much that wasn't accurate, imo

The statement "in all public services there is no waste" is not accurate. Public services, like any large organization, experience inefficiencies and waste in various forms. While efforts are made to minimize waste and maximize efficiency, challenges remain in areas such as procurement, resource allocation, and service delivery. Here's a more detailed look: Inefficiencies exist: Public services, including healthcare, education, and infrastructure, face inherent challenges in resource allocation, procurement processes, and service delivery that can lead to inefficiencies and waste. Wasteful spending: There are instances of wasteful spending in public services, such as overspending on certain projects, inadequate planning, or lack of proper oversight. Need for reform: Many reports and organizations highlight the need for public service reform to improve efficiency and reduce waste. Examples of waste: Examples of waste in public services can include: Healthcare: Unnecessary hospital admissions, inefficient procurement of medical supplies, and duplication of services. Education: Inefficient use of resources, poorly targeted spending, and lack of accountability. Infrastructure: Overpriced contracts, delays in project completion, and inadequate maintenance of existing infrastructure. Efforts to reduce waste: Governments and public bodies are actively working to reduce waste in public services through various initiatives, including: Value for money reviews: Scrutinizing spending to ensure it provides value for money. Efficiency savings targets: Setting targets for departments to reduce spending and improve efficiency. Procurement reforms: Improving the way public bodies purchase goods and services. Technology adoption: Utilizing technology to streamline processes and improve efficiency. Circular economy initiatives: Promoting the reuse and recycling of resources to minimize waste. In conclusion, while efforts are continuously being made to minimize waste in public services, it is not realistic to state that there is no waste at all. Addressing the challenges of waste requires ongoing vigilance, reform, and a commitment to efficient and effective service delivery

Please help! Is this tree okay?
Oldfeller replied to Treehelp81's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
the same question gets asked not just here but both sides of the pond, answers are pretty much similar and no further comments from the op, same question appears again in a few days time, maybe it's like one of those eu vote things whereby if you don't get the answer you wanted, just keep asking until you do. -
well it was a decent discussion til you showed up and saw another opportunity to accuse your favorite adversary of race hatred, and carry on the senior dating bullshit, nobody mentioned Muslims,just you. feck me mate give yer head a wobble.

but maybe others don't hold your view. there is definitive proof of the two party system not working, people want to give another party a crack at it, for some it will be reform, others greens, I don't believe there will ever be a party who will cure all problems and keep everyone 100% happy. unfortunately I think this country as we know it will cease to be in a shorter time than most imagine,the rate of its demise is accelerating with alarming speed,to what is unimaginable for many. I won't thankfully be around when that happens.
-
I just think it's decline has not been addressed in a way that may have reversed or even halted it, the political course of action for years now has not been to cure a problem, whatever it might be, but to simply point the blame to those that were in before you. maybe that is another reason reform are gaining support.

They come here because nothing is done to make them consider anywhere else, and they in some cases are almost encouraged and helped by those nearby who are glad to see the bloody back of them. I find it extremely difficult to comprehend how this country has a procedure for incarcerating people for a comment on social media, and yet illegals are given hotels, cash, free treatments and in some cases allowed to continue committing crimes because nobody wants to be accused of stereotyping at best, and at worse racism. there were warnings this would come and it was ignored then,, and here we are, strangers in our own country.
