  1. That is something worth celebrating.
  2. He did indeed. I bet he would still have got his ladders and hammer out though. I can't remember the details but I remember he took his family on holiday only because he had a job booked in the area. 🤣
  3. On the flip side access to your medical data has great potential benefits for health care but I'm looking at opting out as I don't trust that it won't be abused like you say. If the nhs doesn't get sold out and it can't be sold to mortgage/insurance companies then I can't really see any downsides but that's a big if.
  4. I was just watching some videos of Fred Dibnah. I can guess what his reaction would be to using a mewp.
  5. Quite simple Imo, he should just pay for the two days. It's not his fault at all that you didn't manage to do any work on the third day. It seems like he gives you plenty of work, if you still want that then suck it up like we all do when we fook up and don't burn your bridges. If he didn't want to pay the initial price then he sure isn't going to want to pay for a day of no work.
  6. The thing is the person in question says what he means in a very underhanded way but then denies it and tries to make people look stupid. I think most of us have seen though him and as already mentioned the ignore option is the best option.
  7. I think it's more likely to be russia, China or just another usa department rather than little green men. I believe that there is alien life out there but I think Arthur C Clarke said it right when he said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Although I don't discount that they could just be pissing about and having a laugh. If they have the tech to travel to earth then they Shirley have the tech to do it without being seen. Imagine the issues that would arise when/if we are contacted by alien life, I can understand why it would be kept a secret, if that's possible. Who knows.
  8. Maybe making the news tomorrow. UFO report: Pentagon documents may 'give us answers' on alien life, says MOD insider | Weird | News | Express.co.uk WWW.GOOGLE.COM A FORMER Ministry of Defence (MoD) insider believes a highly... Although I think there are going to be a lot of disappointed people.
  9. It is called a cock pit for a reason.
  10. It's basically grass, just get rid of it as best you can imo.
  11. Usually the outside but the tungsten is fairly thick so you can grind the flat side a bit. There was a thread about this awhile ago in regards to not grinding the surface. I used to braze on new tips but more often than not too much steel had been removed from previous sharpens so it wasn't worth it. If the teeth have taken a real battering then just bin them. As someone else mentioned use a decent mask even when using a diamond grinding wheel, it's just that the green wheels produce a hell of a lot of dust that hangs in the air which can cause silicosis iirc.
  12. Some type of macrocarpa maybe. You need to take a decent pic of the leaves.
  13. I use a diamond wheel on a bench grinder. Before that I had the green silicone I think type of wheel that worked well but created some very nasty dust, you really need to use a good filtered face mask with that. I have seen a wheel that you fit to a handheld angle grinder although I have never tried it.
  14. I don't think there's a lot of money in monking these days. An old Frank Spencer sketch.
  15. 👍 What was the size of that beast?
  16. 130 years! Well I never. Nice find. 👍
  17. I know one of the lads tried this years ago from a redwood we pruned, horrible bleedin job btw. Didn't work for him. He did also try putting them in the fridge or freezer I can't remember which.
  18. If your using good quality chains ie stihl or oregon and the sharpening is good then it must be your oil. Bars should last for a very long time, I have no idea about how many chains but at least 10.
  19. At least it will provide a bit of greenery and wildlife, better than it not being there IMO.
  20. Old Unckle Lofthouse had a good thread on whiskeys, worth a search.
  21. RIP Prince Philip Definitely a bit of a character.
  22. Yes I presume, I didn't make the decision so I can't say for definite. Surely it makes sense to keep testing, why wouldn't they? It's not going to magically go away because ucl said herd immunity is nearly here. I haven't read much about what bc I said, did they give any advice on what they recommend we should do if they are correct?
  23. "Not wanting to sound like 42 but the mass lateral flow testing rollout rational." I assume so as it's to help stop the spread of the virus and any other variants I presume. Why else would they do it?
  24. "The more I look at the MSM headlines the more I see the arguments for any of this making sense literally falling apart." Dont look at the headlines and read the data maybe. Did I really need to tell you that Its all coulds and maybes and only from one source. Hopefully yes we are heading that way, but do you really think everyone is going to say right then, lets stop all vaccines and move back to 2019 right now or are they going to follow through with the plan set out. The sooner we can back to normality the better, hence why I think it important to follow the science (the vast majority of science) so it happens quicker. I hate the current situation we are in but whinging about it will do SFA. If it does turn out to be a big conspiracy then dont worry about it, the people who have been doing the right thing will be more than pissed to sort it out. Anyway, so in other news Experts dismiss UCL model claiming herd immunity is imminent for UK WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Health secretary Matt Hancock resists calls to accelerate reopening of society following research published by...
  25. Interesting stuff.
