  1. J’s more “Tory” that he likes to admit..... ????
  2. I get hay fever in the Summer so I choose quite carefully where I go and what I do - I take precautions for myself but I don't expect anyone that doesn't suffer to follow my lead. (granted, its a bit different with a virus but it's as close as I could get with the time available to think about it.) If an individual feels vulnerable they should take their OWN precautions rather than subjecting the entire nation to nugatory, seemingly made up on the hoof, contradictory, illogical and extremely damaging broad brush policies. So to answer the question.... If that's what they want to do, that's what they should do. Juvenile and unworthy of a meaningful response
  3. Listening to wireless commentary it is reported that arresting personnel were 2x female ‘specials’ (seems odd though, wouldn’t expect to see a special without a regular constable) and that the perp needed to be extracted quickly to avoid wider disorder from a gathered crowd. You can just imagine the BLM fuelled lawlessness and disorder that would naturally follow an ‘innocent’ black youth being unfairly subjected to stop and search as a consequence of Met Police systemic racism. Never mind the horrible little scrote had a shooter down his pants.
  4. There is STILL no alternative egger. Im actually becoming ‘more’ belligerent, anti establishment as one farce follows another..,
  5. There simply WASN’T an option Eggs
  6. I’ll meet you in the middle for part of that... The part that discusses the probable beneficial effect of some previous preventative and preparatory measures. Id highlight some of the glaringly obvious omissions from those ‘common sense’ early prep’s though - like failure to shut down international flights etc. Much of the main thrust of the post [my interpretation - get with the program, do as your told, don’t question the system] is not so agreeable I’m afraid. BigJ has already extrapolated many of the reasons for that above. Here we are NOW, 7 months down the road and much better able to examine facts, figures and theories against hypothesis. I find myself able to agree again with your closing statement - wake up to reality - but, I suspect our versions / interpretations of that ‘reality’ may differ somewhat.
  7. Short enough not to be too tedious:
  8. That is ‘100% operator error.’ Not kit, not system, not process. Outcome - an injury (thankfully not serious) but doubtless to be interpreted (by some) as additional justification for MEWP or more restrictive practices. An anchor the diameter of a fat bird’s chubby finger.... I wouldn’t bet MY life on it.
  9. Ah, you guys ( @Mark J & @Johnsond ) ? That was like a little glimpse of comedy double act gold ????
  10. Every one of them a shit-tank Remainer that wanted to / still wants to take a massive dump on the will of the majority.... Not their finest hour.....
  11. That sounds like (appreciate it may be heavily abridged for forum purposes) a RAMS / COSHH / SQEP / H&S + management of H&S scenario. Lucky dippy bird didn’t sue you for PTSD / constructive dismissal / emotional stress / workplace injury..... Dodged a bullet there! ?
  12. Schools are back innit.....
  13. 2nd hand Multione - rarer than a Brexit uniqorn!! You won’t find one because nobody lets them go once they’ve had one (except @Mick Dempsey, flash bastard got a bigger one ?)
  14. Ya prick! I probably wouldn’t have until you pulled me into it ?? Hell why not? Just as well supplement the excessively generous union protected T&Cs that ensure you only work ½ a week, sleep at work and have the luxury of striking while the armed forces do your job with antique equipment.... Why not set yourself up as self employed as well and draw down the tax benefits of a second job as discount off the tax payer funded salary tax liability you currently have...
  15. And they could just as quickly turn around and do one!
  16. Its getting desperate when 2 of the more informed, serious and sober members start down the path Id expect from the more frivolous members and contributors. Im dreading Mr Bolam’s contribution..... ?
  17. Like that! Got to make a new one soon. ??
  18. And that, in a nutshell, describes why I don’t (actively) seek firewood customers ?
  19. No.... I do actually try and be serious sometimes!
