    Why

    Terrible. You should slap them for applauding peoples efforts. Go on,do it.
  2. £27ph for a self employed groundy here in Norway. Only supplying his ppe.
  3. My bird has a Husqvarna log burner in her mums garage. Yours for the postage.
  4. I am genuinely confused as how you managed to get all your tickets but not know the going rate? As an industry starter I would expect minimum wage as unfortunately you will only be a cost to the employer as without years of experience your tickets are practically worthless. That is an unfortunate fact that trainers never illustrate,tickets are to cover your employer not demonstrate competence. I would call every company in a commutable radius of where you live to ask for a job. You might have to work for multiple firms in the beginning but you will make it if you want to. Your story reminds me of the scam that some trainers pulled over resettlement packages paid for by the MOD.
  5. Johnny Cash was no logger.
  6. "Talky tooters " are what we used to use. Weird name but you never forget the signals after doing them for years.
  7. Your doing this on purpose now aren't you? You little tease.
  8. The only person on this thread who takes Johnsond seriously is himself. He can't see the spectical he makes of himself because of that fact. As you were Johnny,hands out of pockets .
  9. He does know two Norwegians though,and at least one Finn who has done nation service. Subject matter expert.
  10. Not really,time on boats counts as offshore experience. I am sure that both guys at some point could see how their careers as Navy divers was going to smooth their transition to offshore work. Many Scots also join to learn English and the chance of a cheap Kilt.
  11. These divers now have lucrative careers doing similar to what they did in sjøforsværet yeah? Training they got paid for? My point stands. Scots join up for the food and dental work.
  12. Big difference between the Finnish,North and UK mindsets. Finn's sign up hoping to kill Russians,Nogs sign up to get free education and quals,British sign up to get off council estates.
  13. Eh? Recruiting is already at an all time low,anyone who is motivated enough to choose to join is not going to welcome working alongside people who are forced into it.If you punnished all the twats with corporal punnishment then there would be no one left to serve and the ds would be occupied with enforcing discipline over teaching actual soldiering.The chavs of today just dont get it and honestly never will. Norway has has some form of National Service since the 1940s,they realised that punnishing people into it dosnt work.So although most kids get called up at 18 years old,only the kids motivated to see it though are chosen.Bearing in mind that these boys and girls have to service part time untill they are 40 means its a very large commitment.Some people stay on untill much later but thats the exception. Honestly I think the UK is so shagged socially that only a pandemic or world war is going to reboot it.
  14. The old chestnut being that reducing cash usage will make it harder for criminals. That's the line they push here.
  15. It's no theory. I watched a docco about it on SVT,my bird is Swedish and I am over there frequently.
  16. It's because many immigrants don't come from a card use culture and allowances are now being made for them.No one really wants cash anymore,it's a hassel all the way from user to banker.You can't pay with cash in Stockholm,literally no one takes it outside of the ethnic food shops. I can't remember the last time I paid a bill using cash? Might have been in London circa 1999?
  17. Glock in.22 LR,its not mine but I had a go on it. Its a cheap junky gun but its accurate enough.
  18. Regular HO will work fine,check if it has sealed ungreasable rotor shaft bearings and budget for replacement of them at about 2000 hours if it has the ungreasable bearings. Be a weapon of a chipper!
  19. Not so. Some people in mainland Britain have " preservation of life" for a S5 weapon,carried on their person or at home. Hard to believe but it's true.
  20. Go to the cops,say you believe you are a victim of a hate crime. State that this began after your suspect learned of your sexuality,as the cops what they are going to do about it. These days there has to be a reason for the cops to not look bad. They don't seem to actually be interested in deterring criminality anymore.
  21. Alberta you will only be doing treework part time from what I gather. Winter is a nearly full time season.
  22. For monster trees,we cut a socket for the GRCS. Set the whole thing into the tree.
  23. No idea they farmed seaweed.
  24. Salmon farms are the marine equivalent of high intensity beef farming. All the effluent is released untreated into the ocean.
  25. Tie a rope to it and pull it over with a tractor. Or something else with alot of pull .
