    HS2 Over

    Personally I think it should of never been started and the money spent elsewhere like on the road (cart track) network we have and flood defences,, we can't run the trains we have now yet alone another lot,, This is from a freind who works on HS2 and in his words,, he goes down to Kent gets put up in a travel lodge, works in a shitty wooden office on a site, come Friday afternoon he gets back in to London to gets train back to Preston and sorry but all cancelled till 6am, so book in to another hotel in central London then get his train morning after, Friday night he should of been out with his wife n kids but it's 11am sat morning when he gets home, parking has run out on train station car park so that's another problem and expense he has to sort out, When the cancellation was rumoured a few wk back I asked if it woukd affect his job, his words where not f******,g bothered I am sick of working with clowns who know FA and get paid 10 times more than me,, if I can't get a train from Euston to Preston on the West Coast main line on a Friday afternoon there not much chance of some one going from London to Glasgow is there,, this guy and myself bothe said there are massive issues ahead for HS2 and one thing for sure I have predicted frombthe start with it is that it will definitely go down on the history books as on of the biggest white elephants in British history !!.
  4. morning,, we have had all most constant rain here since mid afternoon yesterday, just been out and looked in my tub and there will be towards 30mm in it and guess what its still pissing down, due to clear out about 1ish,,
  5. Morning,, well stayed at home,, painted my parts for truck, put TV on fell asleep, went back and painted parts again, made tea put superbikes on that was recorded and fell asleep again ☹️
  6. Might be doing that, world and British super bikes are on TV, but got some bits of truck to paint at home so I think it's get them done today,,
  7. Morning, been absent last 2 days, had a couple of busy days here while it was dry,, started raining yesterday about 1pm and still fooking raining, OK its not as heavy as yesterday but its still wet, can't make my mind up to either stay at home today or go down yard after dinner for 4 or5 hrs 🤔,
  8. Personally I find arb waste a night mare to process compared to nice clean straight bought in timber,, then you have the down time to consider with hitting metal and various othere items,, with bought in timber you can make a nice uniform product, but as with arb waste if its soneone else's who don't give a ×××× what timber or size they are tipping off fir you,, I do try to avoid othere people's waste niw a days,,,
  9. morning,, all calm here this morning and its quit warm, i havent heard of any tree damage as yet,, but TBH i dont think the wind was what they said it was to be and we didnt get the 4/5hrs of heavy rain either,,
  10. Morning, warm Hazy sun shine and not a breath of wind here at 8,30, but changing a bit now with cloud cover thickening and that wind starting to pick up, rain n wind from late morning for us today,,
  11. Well isla been here 6 wk tomorrow and I don't know where that went ??, she growing and learning fast and like most labs I have had she has the habit of collecting anything she can find, today we had a stick, a piece of beech bark, a log and a piece of cardboard, all was going well until our resident collard dove came in to the building so isla just watched it for 5 mins then back to the stash,,,
  12. Morning, after a stunning day yesterday looks like today could be simulare but with a bit of wind and a odd shower towards dark,,
  13. Morning, bright and sunny here with a good day ahead,, Was blowing yesterday that carried on well in to darkness with a bit of that damp stuff mixed in as well,,,
  14. Morning, bit different than yesterday here, yesterday was cool n bright then warmed up just after dinner, today warm and dull, done a bit off drizzle so far but some heavey rain forecast this aft, 😟
  15. Morning, had a busy one yesterday with a late finish, they say every day is a school day and one thing did learn yesterday is don't put your gloves down when Isla is about, 2 Pair disappeared yesterday,,
  16. Nice rig that Doug,what's the reach/height on it ? It looks as if it's decent lift and reach to me,,
  17. Even later here and absent yesterday,, its been 2 crapy wet windy mornings for us here, this morning was horrendous with about 60mm of rain over night through till lunch time,, hence we been in building cutting n splitting logs and Isla can chew as much as she wants in there at I don't have to clean up after her,,
  18. Not to sure about the rope, but i use methylated spirit on my saws so meths will be fine on the metal items, give me Larch any day over spruce, as with spruce every thing gets covered in the sticky sap/resin gloves, arms, pants and saws,,
  19. Bit late today but here, been out this morning and it's been worst morning for about 3 wk here, done sone heavy rain that was supposed to fade out at 8-9am well acording to met office at 11pm last night it was, piss wet through,,
  20. Glad she is recovering well, but be carefull with her, especially with the ligaments in the other leg,, just make the OH a brew and take yourself and cassie off for the day,,,,
  21. Morning,, dull and warm here this morning going down yard to sort a few things out and make some room, its starting to look like a bomb has gone off in there,, 😂
  22. Morning all, a bit late today, but approx 2,30am we had a large explosion here that was about 4 mile away from me, just found out it was a gas tank that went bang in a fire at a farm, je abd several others thought the Russians where here,,,
  23. Morning, all well this morning, nothing to clean up so far ?? But looking good,, we had rain over night and a lot warmer than yesterday,,,
  24. Morning, cool here but not as cold as where Mr Blair is this morning, but bright n clear here with a nice day ahead of us,
