  1. Just to clarify Matty... I’d be inclined to figure that as 10% of the anticipated profit of pre arranged contract work rather than 10% of the predicted income from such. Even that would be dubious since the incoming owner would have no influence or guarantee that they could achieve the works at preordained rates. Sorry for OP if responses have seemed negative, it’s just that folks are thinking - would I buy it.
  2. What for? I feel sorry for the lodger....
  3. And a lodger....
  4. OMFG WTAF? Should I change my inherent hostility to sympathy? For anyone that bemoans the state of the current government - and I’m not suggesting it would be entirely unjustifiable in certain circumstances - just listen to the state of what would have been a ministerial alternative: Diane Abbott incomprehensible in latest car-crash interview FOXHOLE.NEWS Diane Abbott struggled to get her words out on Friday evening in an exchange with Cathy Newman on Times Radio. The...
  5. But how did you manage a 2 rope system?
  6. This one "fell over" last week - the rope attached to the chipper may have had something to do with it though.....😄
  7. None taken Mr C! Your turn in the barrel next week!
  8. Interesting! The path you take should be influenced by the outcome you desire most. Worth having a good think about that before setting about a course of action.
  9. It’s not me mate, not bright enough! I just pinch other peoples’ work off Facebook 😂
  10. Bent as a Turk’s dagger!
  11. Labour has never been as successful as it was under Blair's leadership but most Labour 'types' hate Blair. What Labour really wanted was a Corbynesque doctrine. It's just that the nation didn't so for as long as the likes of Macdonald, Aboot, Rayner and the rest are in the party they will never be credible. Labour needs to fix itself before it can be taken seriously.
  12. I did think Galloway would swing it and I'd have been pleased if he did. Whilst I don't subscribe to his politics, I do greatly admire his tenacity, intellect and razor wit. He's a political genius and of far higher moral calibre than the majority of current MPs. Maybe in football a win is a win. It ain't quite the same in politics though Egger. Can the Labour vote share deficit be claimed as a victory? Historically, opposition fare much better than sitting government in mid term elections. Can't be said here and it also can't be said that this was anything like a traditional swing seat - it has been a Labour strong hold and now it is an "only just" in a mid term by election where Labour should have been a banker. So yes, it's a seat but not sure Mrs Bedwetter should make herself too comfortable. Only a complete fool would underestimate Galloway - ask the US Senate sub committee investigating the UN oil for food programme.
  13. 323 votes just push Labour across the line in what should have been a banker. Just, hardly a compelling victory and a significant vote share collapse for Labour. 47% turn out is poor - but reflects the nationwide apathy (hostility) towards politics. Galloway to mount a legal challenge against result.
  14. Galloway for Batley & Spean? I’d go for a pint with Galloway - reckon it’d be an interesting night. Starmer coup Friday?
  15. 74% of London children held in prisons awaiting trial are black, LBC investigation finds WWW.GOOGLE.CO.UK As many as three-quarters of children from London held on remand in prison are black, LBC can reveal. A fault / reflection of “institutional racism” or a reflection of who is committing crime?
  16. Just put £40 🦑 in an envelope an send it to me - £s, $s, sheckles, dibdobs, Bitcoin all accepted ✅
  17. Actually, you do get something for your £40 - whether you know about it, want it or think you should pay for it is quite a different issue. The ICO (a government QUANGO) seeks to establish and maintain a ‘register’ of all CCTV systems and data controllers nationwide. After an ‘incident’ has occurred, or as part of movement tracking, certain agencies can save a lot of time and footwork if they can access a list of the location of CCTV systems, system spec, data controller details maybe even IP address. There is a ‘product’ from the requirement to register, a very valuable and useful product, it’s just that it ain’t much use to the poor schmuck that is paying his 40 squids for it. They’ve ‘dressed it up’ as a ‘protection of personal data’ issue but that’s only the sugar coating on the pill of reality.
  18. Can we still have a dig at Mat Hancock? I've got a beauty here that Mark will like! Copy is a bit ropey as I had to screen record it from Facebook....
  19. He’s gotta go but his boss likes a bit on the side so it’s a bit tricky. More seriously, the Russians, the Chinese even the Israelis and the septic tanks must be rubbing their hands in glee. A government that is susceptible to the pussy trap is wide open for coercive manipulation.
  20. I was never serious when I said on ya digga! MO - everyday of the week! Apart from Mick’s French “issues”, you simply will not find better support than MO UK. I’m 5 years or so in with my original MO. Only ever had really minor issues and even then quickly diagnosed and solutions identified by Steve on a video call. It simply doesn’t get any better than that! Plastic panels might be an issue for hire fleet or careless users. Owner operators treat their gear very differently - mishaps will happen, I caught a tow hitch and cracked a panel. No biggy. Lift stats - again, as an owner operator, don’t mistreat your kit. Estimate your likely lift ‘need’ and over spec so that you’re never pushing the limits. I looked long and hard at many options and MO was the best choice for my needs. Seriously, no regrets in hindsight!
  21. Looks like he found his own bus(t) and enthusiastically climbed aboard with a season ticket! How the info got into public domain is the key to this.... A workplace shuffty with a young hotly.... Im trying to work out if I like him more or less? Feel sorry for his Mrs.
