I'm sorry to hear about your injury. The woodcraft forum used to be impressive too. Some of the tables and chairs where brilliant. I guess the last few years may have seen a down turn in the demand for wood carvings and furniture. -

That is a crying shame. I always enjoyed looking at that thread. The craftsmanship was top notch. Do you think they have moved to the likes of instagram? -
I'd have to go back and check out dinosaurs roaming the planet. After that I'd check out how caveman lived to see if they really mixed concrete in a pelican to see how factually correct the Flintstones was. Watching how the pyramids and stonehenge being built would be incredible.

No clue yet as I haven't had a chance to open them. Two kids up at 0530 then preparing and cooking a silly about of food for Christmas dinner. I'm guessing that there's a McMurty with a big red bow tied around it with my name on a set of keys sitting on the driveway.

Read Mr Bolams post. It's not always about the money. Or maybe just speak to your postie, you will get far better information than you will get from a bunch of arbs.

Great. Another thing to distract me from doing the important things in RL.
-
You must be bored. My postie says it's less about the pay and more about the working conditions. So no, no pay rise but better working conditions according to someone who is actually doing the job.
-
Are you striking for Taliban working rights then? If not then stfu eh.
-
Thats really a question? Working conditions are relative to the job that you are doing at the time. The needs of someone fighting in Afghanistan are different to those of someone peeling spuds in Poland. Maybe supply them with the right equipment, training and support to carry out the task in hand then follow that up with any necessary support required after they have carried out said tasks. It's hardly rocket science.🚀
-
Go ask an ambulance driver if they took any joy from striking.
-
That's a simple one, the tax payer.
-
That isn't right either. The armed forces and the emergency services should be paid well and have good working conditions.
-
I'll bet that their job spec and wages aren't the same now as what they signed up to. Hence the strike. I'll also bet not many of them had a goods might sleep on the night of striking.

From what I can see that is the big issue. It would seem that the Tories want the nhs to collapse for some reason. I wonder what that could be. Personally I would want to be paid a mahoosive amount of money to be a nurse or paramedic. An old mate of mine is a paramedic, the crap they see and deal with is not something I would like to do on a daily basis. Pay them a bleedin decent wage, they look after us in our hour of need.

I'm with Mick. Society is always changing and for the most part it's always getting better.

Why does your mirror have alamy stamped all over it?

Did you take the stairs or did you ride in an eletric powered lift?

Up North, North west to be precise It seems like it all comes down to you local surgery. I live less than 10 miles from my old place, big difference in health care. From what I understand your GP/surgery can negotiate costs with private health care hospitals. If they get a good deal you can find yourself in a luxury room private hospital rather than on a ward with 10 other people. My Mrs has a far better understanding as she has in the past dealt with GP costs but she says its an extremely complicated system, a lot of it is ran like a business these days. Council estate where everyone is in the doctors every five minutes sucks up all the funds, wealthy area where most use private healthcare means there are more funds and availability. Having said that our dentist is total sheet but since it seems that you cant get a dentist without paying privately its not like I have much choice in that matter.
-
Earninng the vast sums of money that you do, not that you don't like to talk about it, I would have thought that you would have gone private? Joking aside, I hope your kids get better soon. I can't fault our doctors tbh, straight in to be seen if needed after a very brief phone call, and private hospital treatment if necessary. Post code lottery tastic.

I thought the exact same thing when I tried to work ours out! I gave up but with a bit of help from your mathematical skills I may have another try

AT is a wealth of knowledge due to a lot of people that not only have a real interest and great expertise in the industry but are also willing to share it. I have learnt an awful lot from AT over the years and for that I am very grateful to said experts but mainly to Mr B who made it all possible. Although 14 years on I'm still not sure which is best, husky or stihl?!!! A thanks to all that have contributed over the years. 🍻
