They said yesterday it was 90% voted in favour with a turnout of 50% at one union. I'd love a breakdown of that 50% by age, as most of those I trained with briefly before escaping back to industry had never had a real job in their lives. I will also say they do a lot of paperwork hours, so I'm not totally against them but your union should be doing something about that as apposed to strikes.

And that's before we even get discussing the privatised national grid and the billions that goes abroad.

I want to see a picture of it holding this mythical cube, probably with both front wheels lifted in the air and it's arse dragging along like a dog with worms 😉.

GarethM replied to findjammer's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Sand absorbs and releases the heat slowly, it expands and contracts so needs to breath and not explode like a tin can. Whilst in theory left empty it would be safe, it can cause the steel frame to warp, like when you're a little too eager with the welder. Bin the ancient thing, do whatever the stove installer says is required, preferably with an external fresh air kit to save a bit more heat. It's HETAS not corgi, corgi can't even touch it as they are gas only. -
They are bad because they need like 500+ ton of concrete for the base that's not for these new super turbines!. The miles of rebar before you even get out of the ground. Nothing is free. If it so great, zero subsidy and then you can decide how great they are before heading off to be scrapped. Just because I've seen a garden ornament with a man cutting logs powered by the wind isn't an argument to base a whole power network upon.

There was that solar from space thing being talked about again, anything is better than wind turbines
-
Personally I don't think wind is in any way cost effective without subsidies which means it's not viable. Solar on the other hand yes, fill your boots but only ever on buildings in the UK.

In their world having the big spinny thing whirling is all they care about, totally forgetting the steel, concrete and the workings all built elsewhere. It's probably cleaner and greener long term just to open a coal pit, build a power station and use it for 50 years than one of these monstrosities. If they just pay off the costs by the time it's time to knock them down, how much co2 does building them create Vs what it produces/offset or however you wish to green wash it ?.

14 in Spain and 48 in China, Lamprell are also based in Dubai.

830kg at a guess if the tree is 60%

I hope that was a group blowing up arrangement!. Like a bukka thing
-
Is gender fluid a bit like the original tippex ?. Like the sands of time flowing through your fingers.
-
Probably about as many legs as a snake unless you have it in writing. Nose spite face comes to mind in the greater scheme of the costs of the build, they kinda hold all the cards at the moment. Bite your lip for the sake of a hundred quid or so in fuel. Plus your in Scotland aren't you, they are a bit more a contract is a contract especially regarding property. Dumb thought, why not just offer any of the work guys the apartment for £45 a night ?.

If they're self employed the company aren't going to do anything as they should have budgeted staying somewhere in the price. That's why I asked, if they're on the payroll then I'd blame the company for not atleast making an attempt to sort things.
-
Are they self employed then ?
-
Even saying 4 hours of driving each day sounds like a I'm not doing the job deal. I've done similar travelling jobs in the past, they usually had a mileage or driving time cut off. I'd be tempted to ask for a local B&B as it's a business expense. Fruit sport referee, looser gets a bonus round with a wrong way round pineapple?.
-
They aren't driving 300km a day tho ?. I have to ask, wtf is a sex positive fruit sport ?, Apple ping pong between two ladies ?.
-
If the guy failed to take the tree down last year at the orders of the council within a reasonable time frame. Wouldn''t the insurance tell him to jog on and make him foot the bill for everything including the neighbors damage ?.
-
Granted I don't have a clue what people need to earn per day but that's probably most of week with 3/4 guys and hearing the terrain and knowing it'll be involving insurance and asbestos. I'd probably want to budget atleast a week with room for toys, probably closer to 4/5k.
-
I was throwing you a pragmatic bone.
-
It's a bit like the whole 22 Vs 177 air rifle thing. The ol' you're mileage may vary, a clean kill however it's achieved is the right tool for the job.
-
Just wait until tomorrow and the inevitable phone call saying they didn't turn up etc etc
-
I'd say 3k was a bit of an under quotation.

The HMR is a bit more preferred before you step up to centre fire, it's the crap argument of it's low ricochet. Yes it's a expensive one trick pony but come renewal they're more forgiving on your 2 or 3 for centre fire and full open ticket as you've earned a bit more experience and trust.

That oak looked like it contained a lot of metal looking at the staining, even cheap Bulgarians draw the line somewhere!. There's agri style and then bubba agri style, think that might have been bubba or atleast his UK cousin.
