  1. Riding crops without jodhpurs anyone?
  2. Not to worry. Its probably my granddaughters AV security settings or something but I can't see it.
  3. Then that's white diesel IMO (humble) same as for hire/reward. Because I leave logs on site and get a truck to collect I use red. I could be wrong thats why I ask And obvsly if new changes coming then ... well, ????????
  4. Not on facebook so can't see it
  5. So are you taking logs back to your yard? Hauling your goods or reward for somone else's?
  6. Interesting Posts from Eddie and Bob. I'll say what we do (on a much smaller scale than before) regarding tractor road usage traveling for work in forestry. When I set out from the yard to work in harvesting/forwarding then IMO rebated fuel is OK. If I return by road without logs I'm OK. But if haul timber using rebated fuel then I'm non-compliant and could be fined. I can't speak for those whose business is in residential or municipal (e.g. roadside verges and parks etc) If you believe I'm wrong, please say
  7. Granddad's pre WW1 terrace in Bolton had no cavity walls, no DPC (not slate anyways) and poor attic insulation when I knew it in the 1970s. If you'd put an old dry brick from the same period in a bucket of water on a summers day, it'd fizz like an Alcaceltzer! ie highly absorbant. Modern building materials are about impermeable containment. Older houses need to breathe. In your vent choice, you need to consider more than humidity and warm air rising. By that, I mean if you select the most efficient, most promoted & poss the most costly, it might not be the best. Give us more info
  8. True. I've heard BigPharma Reps used to wine and dine Drs so only their drugs would be prescribed. That was over 20 years ago, mind. I was asking the question on Opting Out in the light of Big Data rather than consumer rights or citizen duties. Here's a silly old story to illustrate how patient records being anonymised isn't an issue: Back in the Wild West, a man rides into town to withdraw his savings from the bank after hearing his money might not be safe there. The bankmanager tells him "Sorry, Sir. There's been a robbery". The bankmanager then goes on to explain how the bank looks after everyone's money. Each person's cash is kept down in the safe, each boxed or bagged and individually named. "Unfortunately", says the bank manager, "the robbers took your box and there's nothing the bank can do about it". Few would question why data has value: using historical trend/pattern analysis makes the future clearer. More data => refined accuracy -> greater value. For everyone.
  9. No worres. Enjoy your fortified horlix
  10. Boris recently got married. His view on stamping out Covid was to pretend its a game Wack-a-mole. The rest is simple. Your medical data doesn't really have commercial value does it?
  11. Channeling my inner hebridean alky, I'd say it may help to try to work out the motivations behind the Tory's presentation of choice, as in, "That's a choice young bride you've got there, Mr Wacker-a-mole". In this case, an organisation has your data. You think that should be treated confidentially as its "yours". But is it and what's to say it will be whether you want it or not? So, we know the NHS has our health records. You can opt out and if you're really bothered, you can really opt out. But who are you doing that with? Yep! The NHS! The vast quangoed multi-entrusted quasi-super-corporation who has your records anyway! If only there was someone to tell us this was fake news and a non-choice!
  12. Yours is a useful lesson. Customers accept your terms and pay for work as completed/agreed. It's contractual and a mutual exchange. Easy. Clients are different. Ben from Looga-Baa-Rooga (you know the urban myth about the Aussie asking for train platform info for Loughborough) had his terms turned on their head by someone who he thought he liked. As many have suggested, amending conditions to compensate would still mean both parties would 've been covered.
  13. No grog here. We've not all benefited from her majesty's education quite like we should've. If you see a bollox post by me, give me a WTF and I'll do it long ways. I'll spare us a wall of text on the egg ?
  14. Blood transfusion required? I just googled curate's egg. US definition obviously cannot account for irony I was referring to your news feeds being like rotten eggs! All news is bad except when it's the other side that takes a prat fall. Then it's good in parts, no?
  15. Glad es, not drowned in yon hot tub yet! Keep on at the curate's eggs
  16. Agreed. Investigative reporting is dead. But I'm learning to like it's replacement
  17. The admin class will emigrate before us grunts start anything
  18. Munira Mirza is very good How a fringe sect from the 1980s influenced No 10's attitude to racism | Evan Smith | Opinion | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Munira Mirza is in charge of the UK’s inequality commission. But her past comments do not inspire confidence, says...
  19. Revealed: US Oil Billionaire Charles Koch Funds UK Anti-Environment WWW.DESMOG.CO.UK For years, people have speculated about who is behind a shadowy group of well-connected ‘free speech advocates’...
  20. Communist Rules for Revolution Found By Allied Forces in... WWW.TRUTHORFICTION.COM The Communist Rules for Revolution date back to at least the 1940s, but there's never been any proof to support claims... 1. Youth rebellion 2. Politics as media by other means 3. Footy 4. divide and rule 5. prove gov incompetence etc
  21. Forget America. Unless you like chlorinated chicken and president endorsed anti-malaria drugs. It's the UK that matters. Little Dom is advising Boris to enlist ex-Revolutionary Communist Party radicals to bolster the Tories. Check out spiked-online, part funded by Koch!
  22. Applause for side-stepping the invite for agreement over a dodgy opinion piece from a far right yank rag. You could also counter it by showing that 6 of the 10 Communist Rules for Revolution have currently been ticked off. An equally dubious source but entertaining for some no doubt ?
