Can someone tell me why my welding is so rubbish?
Mike Hill replied to Muddy42's topic in Maintenance help
Looks like your holding the gun a bit too far away from the metal as well. -
Type something in a language you understand please.

Do you find reading English difficult? Anyway. @corey Bailey There is a real shortage of new starts with the right attitude ,sounds like you have that side sorted as well as the right tickets. The next bit is getting what you have already in front of someone who has a vacancy. By calling people up you get in front because alot of big firms will have someone working out their notice. Big firms with council contracts will have alot of repetitive climbing. Reductions/ lifts etc ,that's the way in to get your skills up. Sure you can go into a domestic arb company but your seriously going to play second fiddle most of the time. Good luck let us know how you get on.

Absolute load of cobblers. Do keep your negative opinions to yourself. This bloke is trying to make a go of it and your casting aspersions based upon your own scant experience. I guess you would never tell an employer you had say your truck licence? Would you just surprise them by turning up in a truck one day ?

Mike Hill replied to manchester tree services's topic in Chainsaws
The MS020 was highly praised amongst professional tree loggers loudly from the tree tops in countries afar. -
Good luck mate. Try calling all the big firms in your area and ask to speak to whoever is in charge of recruiting . Emails are easy to ignore.

Jensen A540 turntable freewheel coupling
Mike Hill replied to maybelateron's topic in Maintenance help
Some Jensens have a dog clutch which disengaged the cutting disc from the drive belts. My 340 had a dry dog clutch. On stuff like wet ones the lowest hole is the drain and then rotate the same hole to 3 o'clock and fill to level. Confirm that's the case from catching the oil and refilling with the same amount. -
Work out how much you want to make per anum and devide that by how many hours you want to work. Then apply that formula to each job you look at,plus the hourly rate that your company costs to run. How much you want to charge is up to you,how much you actually get is up to the customer.

Ffs I hope at least he is wearing Hugo Boss in order to make up for that sloppy salute.

I don't think he knows what day it is honestly. The level of fervent denial amongst his supporters regarding his mental decline is astounding.

Pig tail on steel, machine-mounted winch cable
Mike Hill replied to JonnoR's topic in Maintenance help
That cable has" spun with the lay" of the rope. Most cable is RHOL right hand ordinary lay which means all wires and strands apart from the core twist to the right . That's called " Pig tailing". So in order to fix it you cut it off and then wind on the cable under load allowing the cable to twist in order to get the life out of it. Make sure that when you wind it on under load each wrap is tight on the drum,against the previous wrap. This is called " fleeting". Instead of using a choker,use a length of chain and a hook or your going to be continually cutting the pig tails off the winch rope. -

Yes there are private schools in Scandinavia. However the very richest send their kids to CH or France. The Norwegian prime minister, a multi millionaire, sends his kids to this one.Curiously the same School as the former Norwegian prime minister went to. Oslo Waldorf School (Norwegian: Rudolf Steinerskolen i Oslo) is a Waldorf school located in the Vestre Holmen area in the Vestre Aker district of West End Oslo, Norway. It is an integrated primary, middle and high school with around 550 pupils. Founded in 1926, it is one of the oldest Waldorf schools worldwide. The school is an independent non-profit foundation, receives government funding and is officially recognized under the Private School Act as equivalent to public schools, its diplomas qualifying for entry into higher education and other schools. It is a member of the Norwegian Association of Waldorf Schools. Many of its alumni have been noted in the arts, politics and other areas of society, and include the former NATO secretary-general and prime minister Jens Stoltenberg.[1]

Its often the case when someone hears a response that they didnt want to hear. I get it frequently when people ask for a tree report and I recommend felling.

It's not that easy in most of the USA either surprisingly. DNR land is still heavily regulated with ballots/ tags/ seasons/ species/ gender and bag limits.

How far this goes back ,is quite horrible How Rotherham bosses have reinvented themselves since grooming scandal Council leaders criticised in inquiries into child sexual exploitation have become government advisers and executive coaches The 2014 Jay report condemned senior managers for having “underplayed” the scale of the “appalling” abuse faced by girls — some as young as 11 — at the hands of men mainly of Pakistani heritage between 1997 and 2013. It found there had been “blatant” collective failures by the council’s leadership. Sonia Sharp Sonia Sharp led Rotherham’s children’s department from 2005 to 2008. She has acknowledged and apologised for its failure to protect girls, admitting that her department “knew there were many children in the community at risk and feared that this was the tip of an iceberg”. After leaving Rotherham, Sharp worked for Sheffield council before moving to Australia in 2012 where she was responsible for running education services in the state of Victoria. Today, Sharp is a partner at the consultancy EY Australia, where she “provides bespoke advice to state and territory governments” on “human and social services challenges”. Ged Fitzgerald Ged Fitzgerald, who was criticised for “missing opportunities” to tackle grooming while chief executive of Rotherham council between 2001 and 2003, has rebranded himself as an “executive coach and mentor”. A report commissioned by Rotherham council and published in 2017 concluded that a more “rigorous” approach by Fitzgerald could have resulted in a “very different” response to child sexual exploitation at the time. Fitzgerald went on to serve as chief executive of Sunderland city council, Lancashire county council and Liverpool city council. In May 2017 he was arrested as part of an investigation into financial irregularities during his tenure at Lancashire county council and resigned from his position at Liverpool council the following year. In August 2022 he was charged with misconduct in public office and procuring the misconduct of others, related to alleged activities at Liverpool and Lancashire councils. While on bail he has transitioned into executive coaching, becoming a certified member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council. Jahangir Akhtar Jahangir Akhtar was described in a 2015 report on the council by Louise Casey as an intimidating and “powerful figure” in Rotherham politics, thought to have “influence that extended to the police”. The Jay report suggested that Akhtar, who served as deputy leader of the council and vice-chairman of the South Yorkshire police and crime panel, may have chosen to ignore a “politically inconvenient truth” when he claimed not to have realised that there was a “deep-rooted problem of Pakistani-heritage perpetrators targeting young white girls”. Today Akhtar works for the bank Santander and is a registered director of a social enterprise based at a Rotherham mosque that provides “educational support services” and “social work activities”. Suspended by the Labour Party in 2014, he continues to take a keen interest in politics and started a TikTok channel where he posted “unfiltered” commentary on various issues, particularly the war in Gaza. In full (paywalled) hopefully the start of a very, very long running 'where are they now' Times series

Steven Statistical ratification will not change the blatant fact that Keir must deal with the matter at hand. He either comes down hard on this or effectively " green lights" other abusers.Of which according to you there are many? England deserves better than a proxy nonce career knee bender.

Mate come on. Where are the Kiwi and Aussie rape gangs? Polish,Lithuanian & Canadian? There aren't any because we don't find it acceptable and many Muslim do. Simple as that.
-
That's the thing though. If Starmer dosnt take charge of this it's likely going to ruin him. The root cause is Muslim men believing that raping vulnerable children is acceptable. Then the Police knowing this but doing nothing about it for fear of being called Racist. The longer Starmer fluffs about the further the Coffin Nails go.
