You can tell when bluesmen are on the rampage.

Are you trying to divert attention from your unenviable position?

You have the credibility of a saucepan.

Mate, if you can't do maths at the level of a sixteen year old, you're not really going to gain any traction. I needed a minimum standard of education in order to do my degree. I once did an IQ test at triggers behest, when drunk. Life's short, don't let the facts get in the way.

I think it's a juniper. Do the needles smell when you crush them?

Given that you freely admit you're not up to GCSE maths, I think your crunching of the numbers is irrelevant. " Thankfully my Wifes the smart one out of us so she's been very studious with the kids. As shes also doing her Degree from home she's been able to help our 16 year old with maths and Physics, something Id not have a clue in. "

I clearly know nothing.

Nope, I just look at how S. Korea have handled it. I think they had 1 new case yesterday. I can't be arsed pulling up graphs or charts, but the data is there. The gov had plenty of warning, yet, hey ho 'Herd immunity' and 'Take it on the chin'. I care not about political affiliation. I judge people by their actions, the powers that be aren't looking after our interests. Change my mind.
-
How so? I'm yet to see anything positive about the way the gov has conducted themselves. I'm happy to be enlightened though.

The election was ages ago. Tories won, get over it. They're the only people responsible for the mismanagement of this shitshow. Not Corbyn, not anyone else. This is entirely their play and they're killing people.
-
I was getting to that point. I was taking the long way round to accomodate the hard of thinking.
-
No, they're not. If you believe that then you need your head read. 1% world population, 10% of cases. That's not doing well.

Tell me again how well the government is handling things? Deathtoll doesn't look too good from my position.

Fawning over tories is a bit inhumane. Like.

Geography probably does have a part in it all. My mate in Kent charges £180 a day and he's turning work away. Luck plays a part too.
-
If you know what you're doing then yes. Few things are simple, you need to put time and effort into anything you want to be good at.
-
I agree with that. £180 is easier on the eye than £200+. I could carry out most tree works, a nifty climber lets me run the ropes and saves money, which I enjoy. Sad thing is, 15 years ago a decent climber was on £150 ish a day.
-
I'd go a bit further Steve. I reckon that top climbers should be on 200+ a day. When you factor in all the factors, a top climber will earn you much more than that. I suppose it depends on the dynamics of the job. I don't do much contracting anymore but I have a few numbers in my phone that would make the game easier, if I decide to play it again.

It seems that the gov has realised that banks aren't lending to small businesses. The tories always want to use someone elses cash first. Anyhoo, this may be of help to some folk on here, as of 4th of May: Apply for a coronavirus Bounce Back Loan - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK This scheme will help small and medium-sized businesses affected by coronavirus (COVID-19) to apply for loans of up...
