I was going to mention it last time you highlighted the inappropriate, ineffective, mis-targeted and hugely expensive current farm subsidy system J. Not sure if it was in this thread or a different one - but not really important. You do, i hope, recognise that the very best, perhaps only, way of achieving meaningful reform of farm subsidy is to LEAVE the EU? Ive posted it before but some may not have seen it (I think the data is getting old now. I looked at a local farm Sunday night and it only showed data up to 2009). Google “farmsubsidy.org”, select UK (or other as suits), go to the page search feature, enter the surname, business name or post code of any registered farm and you’ll see what subsidies they’ve had. Caused quite a stir stir in the pub when I told a local farmer what they’d had in “benefits.” They were outraged that I should know (and tell) such detail. Public money = public information Next time you hear a poor farmer complaining about how hard done by they are folks might like to ask them to explain how much money they got from the tax payer....

In comparison to Scotland?? The same could be said for North Korea!! ???

You’d still be in the EU though ?

Dear valued customer, the scale of inconvenience imposed upon my leisure time by pissing around fixing your shit has finally become intolerable. For the sake of maximising my available recreational and leisure time I would propose the following changes to our previous business relationship: - whereas previously, I might have enjoyed a coffee, a chat and generally passing the time of day with you whilst padding out a 2hr job to make it look like a full days graft (a skill acquired over many years public utility employment) I will no longer engage in any conversation not directly related to task or payment. I don’t want to hear about your haemorrhoids, the new roof on your shed or your kids exam results. - I will require a full spec of your system prior to visiting so that I can ensure appropriate spares are available on arrival rather than “popping down the trade counter” which we all know actually means a 2hr liquid lunch. - I will transport myself around the site at no less than Olympic sprinter speed at all times. - I will use gaffer tape and resin to lash-up any leaks or vulnerabilities to speed my departure. - I will bang out 10 jobs a day and clear my diary for months in advance. I trust the aforementioned efficiency measures will meet with your approval as we move forward with our new customer focussed business development plan. I attach an updated schedule of fees which details the 20% uplift necessary to achieve a smooth transition. Best regards, Pump it & Dump

Nasty! Hope it’s nothing worse than bruised face and ego. Been close myself a time or 2. Watching the the grain and staying focussed is an absolute must, not sure a face visor is the answer though. I use impact goggles but that’s more a case of protecting against a penetrating hydraulic wound if a pipe split rather than log impact.

On the Ash topic... Job doesn’t even start til Weds but I’m sick of it already! Had an hour with the client’s neighbour today explaining the Justification for the Ash take down which straddles their boundary. A real headbanging experience!

You twat! You’re in breach of contract now. That which what passed between us ⬆️ constitutes a contractual agreement! Can nobody stand by their word these days...? I despair at the state of humanity ?

64Gig 6s fit the bill? Was thinking about a new unit myself soon. If chance arises, may go Apple Store Tuesday and scope prices / trade in rates. Good nick, always been in a case, 1 honest previous owner, new dog forces reluctant sale.... ?

That loss of payload could have greater implications than just loss of payload too! Hector will be sniffing around trying to deprive honest, hard working tradespersons of tax relief too - bastard!

Mad money for the high end PUs, but don’t forget, there are discounts with BASC, NFU, Mole Valley memberships. Cant remember what the %s are but it’ll run to several £k!

Only trouble I had was with forward facing camera housing trapping moisture and tripping out all the features. It was eventually acknowledged as a type fault and remedied with a Toyota mod which included a heater element in the shroud. That and disappointing early onset underbody corrosion. Other than that, all was dandy.

I'm not a Tory Mull! I voted Green last election.... But you already know that innit ?

Have you had problems with the Hilux?

Anyone know of a hooky copy online anywhere?

No.... Lord Lucan went ‘dark’ in ‘74 and has been doing all the Royals Black Bag Ops ever since. Keep it on the down low though - loose lips sink ships an all that. ?

Eeeee, back in the day.... Prob running on red and emptying the bowsers into nearest watercourse, Eeeee, the good ol days! ?

How depressed must Dianne Abbot be feeling about NOT being mentioned in the reporting of Caroline Lucas “dream team” all female Remoaner cabinet ??? Remoaner Caroline Lucas blasted for proposing all-female national unity government to stop Brexit – The Sun WWW.THESUN.CO.UK CAROLINE Lucas has been blasted for proposing an all-female national unity government to stop a No... The reported list of recipients of the letter is scary enough but imagine Abbott being in there as well. She may be, Lucas ain’t daft, maybe she just realised that the mention of Abbott would heap even more ridicule upon a patently daft suggestion?

I’d just add, it wasn’t confined to N of England. It was also prevalent as far S as Oxford - AND its not an exclusive UK phenomenon. You’ve saved me the trouble of answering - Id simply have said Cologne. I think that scenario sums the situation up, and verifies your point quite adequately.

A guess, that just about sums it up Ed. You 'guess' I'm not troubled by something because it allows you to off-set against something that I am troubled by with something that might trouble you... Your logic is so flawed it is laughable. Have a think about that. There are many things in the world that are troubling. If someone voices an opinion about 1 of them, that opinion is in no way diminished by someone (like you) raising a counter point and saying "yeah, but what about...." If the issues you highlight above trouble YOU, voice your opinion. Don't be afraid, I'm not going to come along and say "yeah, but what about...." I'd more likely say "you have a fair point there fella..." If I want to NOT be surprised by the religious origin of someone perpetrating a crime, and if I want to note that it took the media quite some time to report an element of that scenario which could have been predicted with some considerable confidence well in advance of that report, and I want to pass comment on it - that is EXACTLY what I will do and I couldn't give a monkey's toss if you, or anyone else, thinks that is "racist." All it actually does is demonstrate that (a) you don't know me and (b) you don't know the definition of racism. *sigh*

Dhooooh! Stand down the pitch fork wielding angry mob..... Mmmmm, hold on, uninhibited inward migration from third world medieval cult cultures can be shown to be a resounding success....

I don’t follow football ?
