  1. what I find surprising is not that there's an attempted cover up,, but there is /was a single human being that couldn't see deficiencies in Bidens cognitive abilities. plenty of derision every time Trump opens his mouth, so it's reasonable to expect Bidens behavior was similarly monitored.
  2. With enough power,money, and influence, both politically and criminally, sh1t happens, and the conclusion is whatever you want it to be. contrary to popular belief the truth does not always come out, and with the right connections just about anyone can be silenced, one way or another.
  3. Excerpt from GOV UK those making these crossings are coming from safe countries, such as France, where they could have claimed asylum. More recently, we have seen large numbers of people making these dangerous journeys who are from well-established safe countries, where it is clear they are not at risk of persecution. these clearly are NOT seeking asylum, they come here because it's easy to exploit the system. I don't see any other countries putting them in feckin' hotels, and giving the them the benefits they get here.
  4. I would stir that a little more,,, might look better when it's on the wall.
  5. I have the exact same saw, bought it mainly for the missus to use, after suitable instruction,like yourself I have plenty of makita 18v batteries already, keep it sharp, keep it oiled, and clean it ready for use after each session and it will serve you well, I asked our resident climber to give it a try and he was impressed with its performance, it's never going to outclass a Stihl, or Echo but then it never set out to. equip yourself with the same ppe as any chainsaw and you'll be good to go.
  6. When I met him I was part of a scheme giving offenders a crack at becoming a part of society once again, I along with a few others had to keep around a dozen of these guys in check, split into 4-6 groups, I had a recovering alcoholic who became violent when drunk, and often violent when he couldn't get any alcohol,threatened to kill me once 'cos I poured his vodka in the river, all minor offenders really, but still needed a heavy but fair hand. he spoke to every one of them, showing great interest in their enthusiasm to be something in life, and after he left they all commented how he was a great bloke and they were amazed he even spoke to them. the positive change in their manner was very noticeable after he left. he even had a go at doing some of the work himself, and as I said in another post, enjoyed it too. Here he is trying his hand as a reed cutter, with the late great Eric Edwards. another old gentleman who was to become a friend to him long after that day.
  7. that's ok sir, I forget sometimes,, not everybody is retired.
  8. ??? can't you find it Joe??
  9. Armed police in Romania carry out raids linked to UK tax scam WWW.BBC.CO.UK Luxury cars and wads of cash were seized as part of an investigation into a complex...

  10. "come with me if you want to live"
  11. many years ago I had a good friend,a workmate both on tools, and on doors, a larger than life character, massive giant of a man,strong as an ox, loved life,friends,music, had a sense of humor about every aspect of the world, got told he would not see 40 due to terminal illness , he passed at 37, he was still telling jokes 10 hours before he slipped away. I guess a little of his persona rubbed off onto those that worked with him. I'm 72, my humor is still present, my memory,,, not so much
  12. can you pm me a few pics please.
  13. Never had a dog who fecked me over, never had a dog who fecked off with a so called mate, never had a dog that gave me a hard time 'cos I spoke to or stroked another dog. never had a dog that crashed the car, or moved my stuff and then denied it. never had a dog that moaned 'cos I stayed to finish a job. I'll take the company of a dog any day,all day, shut your dog and your girlfriend in the boot of the car, come back 4 hours later and open the boot,, see which one is pleased to see you.
  14. Any of you fellas got a 2100 lying around, I need a fuel tank, front av mount complete with bracket, ,[a2101 would fit] I'll take parts or a blown up ,seized complete saw if it has some usable parts. cash waiting. TIA.
  15. Illegal Migration Bill: overarching factsheet - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK well it all looked good on paper! I wonder what went wrong?
  16. I like my chinstrap to stop the helmet from falling off my head in normal movement, but not so secure that it wrenches my neck if I catch it on something. I have to say I used to hate wearing it at first, but a swipe from a bough soon changes yer outlook.
  17. There is more than just one poster on here that could be classed as having an obsession about another individual, and more than one poster fanning the flame to keep the fire going.any of you could ignore, scroll on, or just keep on fueling that furnace.
