So.... Like..... I remember dis one fro a few years bak.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3140621/Man-told-demolish-1million-castle-secretly-built-hidden-hay-bales-says-t-claims-sold-it.html

And, just maybe, you've encapsulated all that is wrong with the state of politics today Marcus....? More personable - could be read as "a nice bloke" (at least in public) but didn't actually achieve a busting lot other than assuaging the incessant desire of certain portions of society for self-deprecating, so-called 'equality' and diversity. Being 'nice' as a personal attribute, is pretty low on my scale of importance when considering the necessary character of a world leader. Maybe a bonus as a side dish, but the main course should be considerably more substantial. A better politician - only in so far as popular vote = office and taking the tough decisions = unpopular which in turn = no office. More persuasive - see above, re popular vote, but where is the evidence of a tangible legacy of Obama domestic and global effect? Real world of shit - see above, can any Obama 'fan' list the legacy of domestic and global effect post Obama so that we might compare with actual progress in the short period of Trump administration? No doubt Trump presents a character which is so easy to dislike, so easy to condemn, so easy to mock.... But the empirical outputs stand in testimony to his credibility in office. Even I find it easy to 'dislike' him, but I don't have to 'like' him to recognise the changes that are happening on his watch. When the population start to vote for politicians that they may dislike, but can recognise as capable, rather that the sort of X factor popularity stakes, maybe we'll start to get somewhere.... ?

I’m going for a big fry-up this morning, my path will be intertwined with toast, ☕️ , ? sausages, ? beans, mushrooms, black pudding and tomatoes.

After clearing up the coffee nasal explosion..... and on reflection.... You're spot on! What could HE possibly teach US about stump grinding??? I bet he's got 'office hands!"

That’s a tricky one.... I’d submit, especially given the nature of the thread (and as might relate to TT for example), that it “could” be the unwavering belief of being too good to die which facilitates or accelerates that which “they” think they are too good to happen to them... Not sure that makes sense but I think it was put more simply earlier - work yourself into an early / open grave.... I’ve used this quote/image before:

You sure you haven’t got those 2 the wrong way round??

There’s a “new” huck??? ?

Have had to set an alarm yesterday and today Gary! Most irregular!!

3-4 days a week isn’t bone idle.... That’s some hard time right there!! Im on for 2 days this week... ?

Can’t help thinking, and some quick searches don’t seem to help, that this scenario, whilst possibly, technically, in some defined circumstances, may be possible, that it rather sits better within the urban myth bracket. Has as anybody ever heard / known of a successful claim??

There’s a spud farm on Bidspotter at the mo. There’s a box turner and some conveyor tables which look useful for loggers. Auctioneer is Lambert Smith Hampton: https://www.bidspotter.co.uk/en-gb/auction-catalogues/lambert-smith-hampton

Adverse possession Alex, I’m thinking this only applies if the subject land is unregistered? If ownership is registered, all the time and all the maintenance in the world is irrelevant, you can’t ‘claim’ that which is already in ownership. Not certain, just my understanding.... Council reaction ‘could’ be to instal a big fence.... Might be wise to ‘do’ nothing, talk to no one! Just keep clear of any notable hazards...

It’s good to see you back Stefan! I was certainly wondering if you’d spontaneously combusted into a fireball of enthusiasm! It’s good to get the ‘lift’ that your seemingly inexhaustible energy and determination bring. In part, it gives me a kick up the jacksy, but it also brings into focus the counter points that others offer - which are equally valid. Todays job was finished well early and I was on the sofa with tea & ? by 15:30. Good boys, good kit, good planning and good pay. I could have cracked on with another job but rather be home when the nipper finishes school. Good to see you are back!!

? you tomorrow matey!

? to keep up with emails/messages etc on the move and make notes take phot’s. ? for more detailed stuff. File sharing between between devices is brilliant! Trouble with working from home is “people” don’t know when you’re working and interrupt with banal questions..... On ? in office = bring ☕️ otherwise leave me alone ?? The message is starting to get through... itd be a a joy to live here if everyone stuck to the rules, but Mrs gets all “anti” if she sees Arbtalk on ? with questions like “how is that work?” Bloody Dagenham machinists....Damn their eyes!.

The generous space is what gave it away, along with the faint waft of garlic and the red wine stains! We get them F plates in little England too all one big huggy, happy EU family.... We even get the fishing boats hoovering up OUR private fish stocks - bastards! ?

Self entitled cnuts with an “advantageous parking concession” complaining when the designated parking spaces are full so think their particular concession transfers automatically to parent / toddler spaces - when (a) they ain’t got a toddler and (b) moan like a short changed whore when someone ineligible uses “their” allocated spaces. (Yeah, that’s right, all heart!)

Similar theme, but with a twist: now that parking space looks quite generous, is it in France? UK supermarket spaces are wholly inadequate for any thing larger than a Ford KA, and impossible for me to get my fat ass out of the fractionally open door (to avoid scraping adjacent car). ??

I’ve adopted a different strategy for dishwasher loading - mine is so shambolic, Mrs J has banned me from dishwasher loading duties - Bonus!!

Sign of an unstable mind.... nothing should be THAT tidy!

That’s 85ggs porn right there!! ????

Unexplainable- How some of us think some things are beyond logic, yet others think what others think is beyond logic... example: Where Ed thinks voting Tory is madness, it’s blindingly obvious (to me (and the majority of the population it would seem)) that there simply is no credible alternative! That was was an easy one! Food cooked by others is is better than food cooked yourself... Nah, not buying that one either!

Check with the owner / main contractor what the payment terms are - you should have a clear understanding of time to pay from presentation of invoice (could be 30, 60, 60 past the last day of the month submitted - all not uncommon but seem to catch some people out.) Also, is it CIS deductions or not (sounds like it would be.) May not make any odds either way but some people seem to get hung up on this too. If it IS CIS, main contractor will deduct YOUR tax before paying you and will issue you a ticket to confirm this. You (and possibly any subs you engage) will need to be CIS registered so that you can 'cash in' your pre-paid tax voucher against your end of year SATR. If you, in turn, use Subby assistance, you need to be registered with CIS as a contractor (so that the main contractor can CIS you) and a main contractor so that you can CIS deduct at source the income tax from your subbies... Happy days!! ?

That tickled me Gary....!

Didn’t mean to “like” but given the options was a bit limited - recognition that ‘water wars’ are already underway and likely to intensify and expand was the point I want to ‘acknowledge’ rather than ‘like’ It has been interesting to read about canal water displacement, not something I’d ever considered, makes a lot of sense now it’s been explained.
