  1. They all have a year or 2 left in em yet, and given 2 years with them 3 i would probably be the first in a old folks home, but what a way to get there,,,,
  2. Many a good tune played on a old fiddle you know, and your first choice Andy would be no good to me, i could,nt carry her,!!!!
  3. Croc of ??? it will be the best thing since sliced bread for a day, then you will need parts and where do you get them from, it will be just like i was when i was 16/17 a 2 minuet wounder !!!!
  4. Its not quite all the way away from Covid-19, but who would you like to end up with on a tropical island for the rest of your day,s, it can be male or female and it dont matter if your on the other bus as i think we can all accept that in 2020, 3 choices on this with your most desired being at the number one spot, could be interesting with the different age groups on here and a bit of light hearted banter to cushion the blow some of us are expierancing,!!! 1, Sheryl Crow 2, Kylie Minouge 3, Amanda Holden
  5. Hi i have had several flyers through my letterbox of late, not many last week but week before 4 or 5 a day all from local small firms and i have just picked em up with a litter picker and put straight in the wheelie bin, and if and when we get through Covid-19 and we get the go ahead we will all be knee deep in flyers through the letter box every day,
  6. Shaba,, Shaba,,, Ravon ,,
  7. Your well on your way there its even the right colour, chevrons on back doors and its even got a flashing light on the top, you will be changing your name to Ravon next and doing mobile discos,,,, Shabba,,,,
  8. You want to get on to doing council contracts you ! but you might have to go VAT registered ?
  9. Hi Sitka spruce and it should not be a problem at all at the moment, they seem to stand well on there own like that and as J said should be ok for next decade at least and dont all trees sway in the wind !, Then as Matty says that Ash is a much bigger issue, in my eyes the Ash has die back and when they get this the timber becomes very very brittle, its your neighbours tree that is more of a issue, ask them to get a report on there Ash and split the cost between you,
  10. You asking for a friend ???????
  11. the Stoke on trent ref came out of a episode of Only fools and horses, where Del ended up i hospital and he thought he had contracted HIV (aides) and he was telling Rodders about his trip to the barbers and this mush called Jason had cut his hair and Dell reckoned thats where he had caught it as them types are all a bit Stoke on Trent, in short Cockney for being bent, Watch em either on uk gold or you tube best comedy thats ever been on British TV,
  12. We will have to wait,to see what happens but its not going to be a fairytale ending thats for sure,
  13. Covid-19 aint finished yet NOT one person on this planet can say what is to happen and i think as a island we may have a better success rate of beating this crisis than mainland continents !, this is just my thoughts, the only thing i can be sure about is it will all have to be paid for by us as tax payers and as Kriss said in a post above, taxation changes, but one thing the Government will need to do is raise funds fast and i will bet a substantial amount of money that there will be a speed camera around every other corner when we are through this lot,
  14. Not going to disagree with any of that, as thats my thoughts as well, and i think if we all pull together as a nation when all this shit is over i for one hope and i do live in hope on this is that the UK can bounce back from this and we can be a stronger nation than before and we can jump back up the worlds top performance list from No5 to may be 2 or 3 but No1 would be even better, after all we led the world for decades in production and design, may be again, BUT Covid-19 is not over yet and no one can say when, who knows this may be the end and we will be back at the begining with Adam & Eave ? and if Adam turns out to be from Stoke on Trent thats the END
  15. we all need a plan that works, but its just sorting it all out so it does work and it cant be done in an hour or so,,
  16. Not really spring like but this was the 1st may 2016, we where sorting some windblown sycamore out, t shirts at 10am then wind swung round to the north and got up temps plumbeted then it started snowing it got about 3" down so we left while we could still get out, never got back untill 5 days later,
  17. If this virus continues, and there is not one person on this planet who can tell us when its going to stop ! i a long with you and many 1000s of other people wont have a business to run during this crisis but when its all done and dusted and we get back to some sort of normallety we just pick up where we left off, personally i am thinking long term on this issue at the moment(worst case synario) and not taking a lot of notice of what Borris is saying like, we can stop this in 3-4 wk, then its gone to 3 months He dont know, i dont know and you dont know how long its going to last, help is there just take it, its for all of us who want it, for me i am bottom of the list, for people with dependants they are much higher on the list, a contract climber i know whos main work is councils etc is totally out of work now, lad in his late 20s married with 2 kids, he has had to take what was on offer and as he said its far better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick,
  18. In times like this we all should be able to pull through one way or another, we have to change are life style and cut back on spending and just do with out one or two things that we dont really need, there is help, and you will be able to sign on universal credit as we where all told a week last friday, you rent a house, you have a child under the age of 18, you qualifie and you will get more help than the £92 a week every one is banging on about, you will get council tax help, you will get housing benifit help and so much awarded per wk to live off, dont be thinking you are going to pick work up at the moment because you wont, all you need to do is look for what you are entitled to as the DPW will not be ringing you to make a claim, you need to do this yourself, a week as past now so the DPW phones will have cooled down a bit and you have to be in it to win it,you are not the only one 2.5 other million people have claimed it so why not you ????
  19. Do you think Borris will know he is entitled to £92,25 a week sick pay !!!!!!! Who is going to tell him ?
  20. Hi all just as the title says, Both Borris and the health minister test positive for covid-19, just goes to show not one of us is really safe from this virus, so all the more to make you think you should stay at home and do what is asked of you,!!
  21. Yes red mist here as well Swinny, funny weather where having, but i am with you on this what a load of shit,
  22. Fully understand whats going on pal , my work is in the middle of fucking no where like in commercial forestry, BUT who i cut for has stopped all hand cutting till further notice, WHY, due to the NHS being under extream pressure, and at the moment if any thing happened i would not to be wanting to either take some one in to a hospital or be taken my self, so i am out of work with not much sign of any help for 9 wk from the government, Top and bottom of it it should be just the same for us all say for example £800 month Not a percentage of what you was earning, It is a crisis situation not a time to profit out of it but some will.
  23. If they cant sort things out a bit faster than that, it goes to show how much we are needed, Nothing in this crisis should be based on salary/earnings, its all about getting through it under Government ruling and now movment restrictions, in my eyes it should be the same for all , If you earned £50k as a PAYE Employee or weather you earned £15k as a oddjob man the loaf on the shelf is the same price, why should it be any different when it comes to finanacal government help, ONE thing i have lernt since 5pm is i am going to go and buy a bigger tin,as we have been shit on again, and as one guy who i have spoke to this aft has said if they dont treat us right, this is his time to scale back on earnings/turnover but only on paper and FUCK em,
