  1. is it worth trying a tube of tyre foam, or is the puncture too big?
  2. Now he's in Power the public's opinion is not really relevant WASHINGTON, March 13 (Reuters) - More than half of Americans, including one in four Republicans, think President Donald Trump is "too closely aligned" with Russia, as he radically realigns U.S. foreign policy, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows. The two-day poll completed on Wednesday also found little appetite among Americans for Trump's expansionist agenda, as the Republican president talks of acquiring Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal.
  3. the hardest challenge of all would be to identify the species of logs from the ashes after they have been burned
  4. I've been furnished with a few hard to find service manuals by asking here The Beg for Manuals Thread | Page 1918 | Arborist, Chainsaw & Tree Work Forum WWW.ARBORISTSITE.COM Looking for IPL's for the following Dolmar saws: 114 116 116SI 117 119 120 Super 120SI. Thanks! All those Dolmar saw ipls and more can be downloaded from...
  5. the only thing I admire about Trump's government is their progress on tackling immigration - and that is a big achievement it will be interesting to look at the chart of the S&P 500 at the end of Trump's term - the stock market soared under the dems this last time
  6. of course it was selective copy and pasting - a paragraph about the Nissan Micra wouldn't have made much sense
  7. measles is only one - add in smallpox and polio - it's difficult to defend vaccine sceptics, none of us know what it is like to live in a world where microscopic pathogens can tear through a poplulation, before vaccines people were killed off and hospitalised in huge numbers. It simply can't come down to freedom of choice when an infected person can make so many other people ill In high-income regions of the world, such as Western Europe, measles still causes death in about 1 in 5000 cases. But in the poorest regions, as many as 1 in 100 will die. Before widespread vaccination was introduced, the disease caused an estimated 2.6 million global deaths each year. And worldwide, measles is still a major cause of death. In 2016 about 90,000 people died of measles, although this was the first year on record when global measles deaths fell below 100,000 a year. However, following these years of decline, when vaccination dramatically reduced the number of deaths, in 2022 measles cases rose by 18%, and deaths by 43%, compared with 2021. During this time, worldwide vaccination coverage also declined to its lowest level since 2008. See this World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. Since a measles vaccine was introduced in the UK in 1968, the UK Health Security Agency estimates that 20 million measles cases, and 4,500 deaths, have been averted.
  8. Trump chose a health secretary and look what happens A measles outbreak in the American southwest has killed a second person, an unvaccinated adult, New Mexico health officials have said.
  9. this is what I was trying to get at - say you were a modern Churchill, in charge of saying green for go - just how much loss would you tolerate in order to finish off Putin? Say it could be done if the UK and EU went all in - would 100.000 UK dead be a price worth paying?
  10. I've seen Rambo 1, 2 and 3 - I know what it takes
  11. In the second Boer War 1899 - 1902 we lost a reported 27,000 military, the Korean War 1950 - 1953 cost the lives of approximately 1100 service men and women. My point is the recent conflicts have not been on that scale 30 years fighting in NI est 763 dead Iraq 179 Afganistan 457 Gulf War 47 Falkands 255 Our soldiers are still just as brave as in the Boer War, but their chances of survival seem better today. In cold terms of sheer numbers I think a combined UK and EU force could defeat Russia in a conventional war, but when it comes to Taiwan it would take more than any conceivable coalition to defeat China. Biden said he would defend Taiwan, whereas Trump will not. This time maybe Trump is right - hundreds of thousands of US soldiers could be sent tp their deaths defending Taiwan and it still would fall. China and Russia are like bullies in the school playground and when the teachers try to break it up the teachers end up stabbed to death.
  12. Trump tells supporters they won’t have to vote in the future: ‘It’ll be fixed!’ | US elections 2024 | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Former president implores Christian supporters to vote ‘just this time ... in four years, you don’t have to vote again’
  13. Xi and Putin don't have to worry about silly things like elections removing them from office. Trump is a truly great leader, we may never see his like again - so why prevent him from serving a historic third term?
  14. If Trump really wants to be respected by Xi and Putin he will respond to protests like in Tiananmen Square
  15. their work, I am quite surprised by this mistake, your posts are normally coherent. Must be meths and milk on a Saturday night. The pear tree was too leggy anyway, should never have been left for so long, needed some form of staged decapitation
  16. So at the start Putin said 'anyone who dares to interfere....' Surely one day there will come a time when someone calls the bluff of a nuclear superpower. In the post apocalyptic dust scape any peoples left outside of the blast zones will group together in various factions
  17. the question isn't the weight of the GRCS, it's what is the reading on the load cell. Like dispensing fuel at the filling station, you have to take it on faith, unless you want to calibrate with a measuring jug each time
  18. I'd say that is almost right -except the mimic bit, as the natural decline of a tree usually involves big heavy limbs that die, then get blown off in a gale, so retrenchment is a managed decline, with a view to improving safety around and under the tree
  19. well - your crystal ball is working just fine
  20. going to Mars with taxpayers money, not a waste, but I would of prioritise medical research over space exploration, some types of cancer always kill
  21. When Musk's robot arm comes online it will make a sticky mess inside the server cases
  22. Greta and Trump have something in common and they both only have one t
  23. thrown to the wolves how the Times put it, remember Trump knows nothing about fighting, having his family money meant an expensive doctor could get him signed off from Vietnam with a 'bone spur', this genuine reason to avoid conscription must have got better with age, as it's not stopped him doing many miles on the golf course.
  24. not exactly the same, but was talking with greygit on here a while ago about using vehicle mounted winches and anchoring the vehicle to a tree to stop it being pulled forward, he said you have to be very careful not to twist the chassis, and to take the rope/ wire under the wheels to the winch
