    I want to hear everything there is to know about it so if you need to avoid a board game or something over Christmas, I’ll be reading. I suspect eucalyptus is a great crop for real free market use but I also sadly suspect the amount of carbon it puts on (and therefore the amount of taxvictims’ money it can attract) is the driving factor for most people.

    Now you are being evasive. Answer the question if you don’t mind.
  3. AHPP
    You’re not necessarily being evasive but you’re not bursting with answers either. Are people primarily growing eucalyptus because it’s a good crop or because it makes good money in subsidy?
  4. AHPP
    Other plots you know of. Is it for real money or WCU etc money?
  5. AHPP
    How much is planted economically and will end up in the firewood market and how much is being planted for subsidy and will end up as biomass (which I suspect also hurts taxvictims)?

    I’m sure Stihl would be delighted to learn the identity of that dealer.

    Please do.

    Paddy. The point I've been (increasingly unsubtley) making is that the law is tricky and I don't think that someone who can't spell border is best placed to tell the majority of businessmen here that they're all wrong. I don't doubt you know something but a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and you don't know what you don't know.

    They'll at least be there. They're probably sleeping there.

    England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different laws. Paddy will explain.

    I've played guitar for about twenty years and always had a bass around but I've only played it seriously for the last year or so. I started a band and, since bass players are the lest reliable people in all of christendom, decided I'd do it myself because I'd at least be turning up. Sort of enjoying it but would happily let someone else do it. I have to sing as well. I've been working with my keys player on her parts so have a cheap keyboard set up here. Quite enjoying it and finding it more intuitive than the guitar for writing melodies, finding keys etc.

    I use any old shite (will probably buy four nice ones if I get round to gigging). Kirlin and Planet Waves either side of the pedals atm. Also have a GYC that twists like an absolute bastard.

    Jack. Annoying because I usually use a right angle.

    I’ve been wanting one of these for ages. Idly looked on Facebook marketplace last night and lo and behold one close by being sold by a tree bloke. Was initially skeptical of the funny switching but positions four and five are actually really useful. Like clicking on a tube screamer. I’ll probably set it up with elevens in drop B when the fresh nines it has on wear out. https://www.ibanez.com/na/products/detail/s521_03.html

    I’m sure I could. Who’s paying?

    The most depressing/laughable thing about this thread is that since Bolam and I artfully prodded it half of the contributors are talking about ELI and half are talking about PLI and nobody appears to have realised.
  18. AHPP
    No.
  19. AHPP
    Stir it.

    The Cooking Thread

    AHPP replied to AHPP's topic in The Lounge

    Ratatouille but couldn’t be arsed to cut an onion. Aubergine, courgette and tomatoes and chilli and garlic. Dash of balsamic. Sweet potato mash with enough butter to make the french wince. The best kept secret in bacon. 75p/lb in ASDA. You often get gammon steaks.

    Someone said much earlier in the thread that they use a 220 for stuff up to 4” when climbing. I don’t start getting frustrated until nearly double that with a 120. A 220 will monster through bar length and bigger.

    Paddy. Have you told your wife about all this?

    Since this thread is already ruined, I’ll further confuse matters by pointing out there are only three kinds of statutorily mandatory insurance: car, employers’ liability and some finance thing I’ve not looked up properly. Apart from those, you don’t have to have third party liability insurance unless you bind yourself to needing it contractually. Also consider that third party liability (whether insured for or indemnified for) can be assigned to someone other than who would have it by default. Hand grenade over shoulder, exit through audience not giving a fvck.

    Steve. Just take the forum down and make Arbtalk a single page site that explains the difference between labour only and bona fide subcontractors for about six months.

    Is the company asking you to do more work like you would do as an employee (their gear, working with other company men etc) or are they trying to get you to do some jobs on your own (they being very hands off)? The hourly rate suggests the former?
