  1. 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 ????
  2. Do you think Borris will know he is entitled to £92,25 a week sick pay !!!!!!! Who is going to tell him ?
  3. 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,!!
  4. Yes red mist here as well Swinny, funny weather where having, but i am with you on this what a load of shit,
  5. 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.
  6. 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,
  7. Wahl is the one i have and its been going 20+ yrs,
  8. got one of them electric clipper things from Argos about 20 yrs ago just put No2 plate on and away you go, But it takes me about 3 nights to get it right as there is all ways that bit stuck up that i cant get,,,,
  9. Hi all just a bit of news alot of you self employed lads are wanting to hear Borris is announcing a self employed help package tomorrow, and if it looks like it could work and he does well by us all, can we please have a whip round to raise a few quid for him to go and get his hair cut !!!!!
  10. Get out of it, we dont do pounds, shillings and pence any more !!!!!
  11. saws are in the bed and he as put the Mrs on the sofa for 3 months !!!!!!
  12. Hi all just a short message, mainly to the self employed lads on here, this is just a bit of sensible addvise about your equipment, as you are all aware of what is going on in our country and the situation is getting worse by the hour, in a couple of days we may not be able to go to work as movement restrictions are going to be enforced, if you rent a unit, container etc for you gear i would urge you to take your most valuable items home and store then indoors, the crime rate is going to rise as it all ways does in a crises situation, there will be some scum selling or swapping you £1000 saw for a bag of weed some where and times will be hard enough with out shit like this happening, when all resumes back to some sort of normalety insurance companys will be weeks behind and it will take months to sort a claim out, stay safe and take great care,
  13. I will agree with that 100% we did a job last year on the work instructions it said 110-120 cube in 2 small blocks, when i went to look i thought who added this up has ballsed it up the numbers at the end of the job was more like 250+ cube, Luckily i had bought this timber standing so it all went well for me in the end and when i had submitted weigh tickets for 167 tonne to the powers that be, every one was happy as they got paid for more than expected and i got a few tonne in the yard as well,
  14. Dont think you will be going any where after Thursday as fines are to be issued and so they should, as the only way to stop the spread of covid-19 is to make people stay at home, and just keep every one away from each other,
  15. Hi if and when all this covid-19 is over i would be interested in purchasing some of the timber of you if this job is to go ahead, i sent you a msg with contact number, i have means to self load and haul the timber myself which may be of interest to yourself, roughly where is the job situated i am just south of Lancaster,
  16. Is it a Yorkshire term for a STD ? Is it a new board game you have patented ? have you been watching countdown again ? how much do we get if we get it right ?
  17. No way started with this on monday buisness is booming
  18. Your jack is best thing on the big edge trees, was a guy i worked with last year had a ratchet wedge which he used on the bigger inside trees (straight up and not weigted one side) then a combination of jack and wedges on the outsiders, i dont think we can get away from banging wedges in with sledge, after all its a method thats been used for many decades now and seems to work well,
  19. What ever your on ! i will have one please,
  20. Hi i went through this about 6/7 years ago and ended up with a ifor 10ft tipper that gets used for many things, got rid of a ifor plant trailer and a ifor flat and bought the 10ft tipper, we move tracked chipper about with it along with a kubota tractor that just goes on with Igland winch fitted, we dont have any problems with moving either machine about, tows well,stops well and i dont find it unstable at all,others will tell you different but one thing i will stress is go for the one with the smaller wider tyres as it lowers the bed hieght down making loading not as steep, to be very honest about this a tipper serves all sorts of purposes and saves so much time when unloading log chip etc as its just push a button, you wont regret buying one as i have said many many times its been the best 3k i have ever spent,
  21. Ally Mcfeel or Mummy blows best both worth a watch !
  22. You got a pipeline as well now ! is it oil or Gas ?
  23. Whats this ,i can ask her, that is not politically correct, it should read i can ask it !
