  1. Jeremy Corbyn advocates "caution." A broad raft of other independent national governments and organisations implement direct action.... Which do you think might have seen compelling evidence and which has not been trusted? Much as I enjoy seeing Corbyn make a mug of himself, like attending a Jewdas dinner, genuinely Mark, don't go down on a sinking ship....
  2. "...Regressive shit stain...." (of James OBrien) Brilliant!! "...the last 10 minutes of pig shit coming out of your mouth...." Double brilliant!!
  3. Bloody Christians.... Constantly banging on with the same message.....
  4. I bet that was a "why do I bother" day at the office Adam...
  5. If anything, probably sounds too low for the 'actual' values Gary...?
  6. All a bit tragic and wasteful considering the time and effort required to achieve a pitiful prosecution outcome.... https://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/two-business-owners-fined-after-14473858
  7. Why "trouble?" (the supposed need for) Immigration is a symptom of a problem which you appear not to have fully diagnosed... The supposed need for more (young tax paying) people is predicated upon the belief that exponential growth is the solution. The pursuit of exponential growth is not the solution, it is the ponzi scheme problem. Ergo, the supposed requirement for immigration based upon a perceived need for growth is a fundamentally flawed concept.
  8. Not so much as a pot t' pish in.... but happy as 'e be!
  9. And you've been chirping in with mechanical advice.... This is tree place for tree people! None of your fuel line magictrickery in here chummy.....
  10. What's happened to you Vesp? You've become reclusive and are displaying disturbingly altruistic tendencies... Have you been captured by a cult? Just send a coded message, they'll be a posse of AT miserable basterds on stand-by to spring you and fund your cultural re-education....
  11. I hear ya.... I'm thinking ahead to 3-6 months time when the same lunatic smashes the "professional" quote for a Leylandii hedge out of the ball park with an amateur price... How "sainted" would you feel when he's marauding around your business patch hoovering up all the easy $ jobs...
  12. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/improving-air-quality-reducing-emissions-from-machinery Might be of interest??
  13. Call your mates to come see, break out the deck chairs and beers, fire up the BBQ and start the wake....!!
  14. Have we just witnessed an historic alignment of Matelot and Mark.....?
  15. Is it an tendency of a certain faction of the political spectrum that they find it impossible to recognise a successful and compelling argument or achievement from a party or person which is outside their own bunkered silo? Can you imagine some contributors here applauding the demonstrable economic and foreign policy successes of the current US administration? Or acknowledging the point that a desire for control of the movement of people doesn’t automatically pre-qualify as membership of the Waffen SS, or that Israel is a democracy which provides aid to the people of Palestine.... See, I’d be happy as Larry if a moronic FW like Dianne Abbot said or did something sensible, I’d have no problem recognising and celebrating it (not holding breath in anticipation mind.) perhaps a poor choice of example. Just wondering loike, what would it take for some of the extreme lefty hard liners to say “Well done Donald/Tommy, you done good there, played a blinder...” (I am laughing as I imagine the response - if they shot them self in the head -which I suspect would be what some might think... ?)
  16. It can't have been lost on you Mark, that wasn't watching the BBC, that was watching someone make a monkey of the BBC but not on the BBC... (to be fair, it wasn't too challenging ?)
  17. Why that BBC plum didn’t realise he was on a hiding to nothing and walk away is staggering! He just stood there like a lemon whilst TR butt raped him!! Unbelievable!!
  18. I didn't think badly of you before Wes, and I certainly don't after. You make a fair point and present it well - there are some elements that are impossible to disagree with. Your post about protest (wether it's seemingly worthwhile or not) struck a chord and remained with me to resurface when I heard that story about the taxi rapist. Of course the scenarios are about as far apart as could be imagined, but where I drew the similarity was in the 'apparent' hopelessness of the protest, the single minded determination to continue with a cause that is felt just and, ultimately, triumph in the face of great adversity. I guess another way to define it would be pig-headed stubbornness... Genuinely, I meant no criticism by raising the comparison, more that it might be considered complimentary that something you said is still working through people(s') thought processes long after you said it or, as Oscar Wilde said "...There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about..." He was wrong, obviously, having a Rottweiler dangling from your delicates would be worse..... He just had a better way with words than me....
  19. Thought of you (well, to be fair, no so much ‘of you’ but of what I thought / interpreted by this post - don’t bother protesting, it just costs money and causes hassle - earlier Wes) i was listenening to a report on the wireless about some totty that had crowd funded an appeal against the parol board decision on the early release of that sex pest taxi driver. Who’d have thought it, no parliamentary or systemic ability to reverse the decision of a QUANGO, but a bird in a mini skirt and heels who got tapped up on the way home after a kebab and fell for the old “have a drink Mrs, what harm could it do “ line got some mates to throw some tutt in the pot and the next thing you know, a Senior Civil Servant (I’m guessing - Chair of Parol Board) resigns and scumbag sex pest has to use a spork for another 10 years.... Protest - where did that ever get us.... (not having a dig Wes, I get what (I think) you were saying about causing hassle costs money..... Genuinely did think of this post whilst I was listening to the report)
  20. Have you 2 been on a field trip.....
  21. No, not really.... Andrew at Exac-1 would’ve a good source of info. He advised me against the grab/cone option and I had cone w/o grab. I think, if memory serves, cone & grab is better suited to bigger rigs. Advantage to the Blacksplitter kit is that there are other interchangeable heads to fit 1 rotator - post auger, brush, riddler bucket, stump planer etc
  22. But what if they come from the opposite direction - and that is the only escape route??? Dhooooooh!
  23. (1) I'm not confident that the party has sufficiently defined itself post referendum / post Farage. It is still a necessary 'check & balance' for the Tories in this pre-Brexit era but internal turmoil and the absence of a sufficiently suitable leadership team is not presenting a consolidated stance - hence, my membership (perhaps temporarily) was not renewed. Where will we be in 6 months time? With Johnson, Mogg, Gove etc in pole positions in the Tory party there is some heavy weight grunt behind the Brexit momentum, despite May's idling (a similar rock/hard place.) There's potential for UKIP to merge with the anti-EU brigade of the Tories.... Who knows.... (2) No. Does it go something like: "...Blah, blah, blah, not on my watch, I won't stand for it neither will Ken, no recommendations in the Chakrabarti Inquiry, but I'll wait another 2 years before doing nothing about there not be any recommendations 2 years ago which, obviously, we haven't implemented, blah, blah, blah, solidarity, no surrender, we all stand together, not on my watch, peace out.....?" Do I need to read it.....?
