  1. Rigggght, so as usual zero actual constructive response or reply. Just because my logic doesn't align with your happy to spunk a few million quid up against a wall whilst muttering "greater good". I think your well aware of my view that a lot of you are lefty socialism types, expecting the state to suckle and provide for your every whim and make decisions for you to remove all thoughts and personal responsibility.
  2. Waffle waffle waffle dribbling TDS. Fortunately the world isn't run by the council and civil service, which is a environment you obviously enjoy hiding within, being a number and all that. Reality is things like the weather lots, is they've ventured too far away from the reservation of just doing what they are tasked with doing. Bit like councils calling climate emergencys and virtue signalling, I pay you to empty my bins, run the local parks and look after the elderly. Outside of that in your own time, full yer boots.
  3. They have them on runways and roof tops and plenty of others. Not exclusively and I never said as much but be realistic is a big long expanse of concrete and tarmac really the best place for the hottest day?. Which would you say has more accurate temperature and rainfall data, data from Dave's field amongst his 100 acres of grazing or Leeds Bradford airport?.
  4. And how is that any different to putting on Creosote, commercial stuff is thin like water and evaporates because it's some form of voc like paint. It's not water based fyi. Ah, you pay a man I guess.
  5. Remind me what you do for a job!. Unless you're that boy in the bubble?, before the end of the film obviously.
  6. How is me changing the oil on various equipment every year Vs painting a wooden fence for example any different?. I'd probably take my chances with engine oil over anything from the DIY shop. Life is a risk, I think several years of lead solder inhalation is going to be more damaging in my 20s or the usual daily life of farming/chainsaws and a long list of things including 3 phase.
  7. So which is ecologically worse. Used engine oil that will probably make the timber last for decades or crap Creosote and replacing the wood after 18 months ?.
  8. Good old brush. Plus always best doing it on an evening after a roasting hot day and the wood will drink it up. But to be honest Creoseal's original 100% coal tar creosote is now absolutely crap, used and filthy engine oil is better. Spent hundreds on it and wished I'd just used engine oil after the wood just rotted.
  9. And I think they're legally obligated to give the met office the data for free. Which is real world data, not just a weather stations at the end of the runway. As airport data is almost as pointless as those ones in built up towns, oh it's warm next to the concrete NSS or it's 5000c next to the shard.
  10. No you dullard, I'm suggesting scrapping both. It's a bloated waste that could be done for a 1/4 of what they spend. You'll find the privates already do provide a lot of data, sencrop being a big one in the agricultural sector as we can't trust the met office as they are usually wrong.
  11. I'd only every change hydraulic if it gets contaminated or on say a tractor that has trailers and such being used and taken off. As dirt gets into the system with tractors etc, my splitters are still on the same oil after about 5+ years and probably 3000hours. The key is always keep it cool and keep it clean.
  12. You don't need to change either as it's an entirely closed system. If it looks milky, yeah change both it as it's gotten too hot or is contaminated with water or of you've had to replace any part of the hydraulics.
  13. There was a TV programme that explained why the met office accuracy went down after they moved to the west country In part due to the new algorithms, but also far too much data into the system causing poor outputs especially for city sourced data. The computer equivalent of target blindness. Especially when they proclaimed the hottest x,y,z from the tarmac runway of Heathrow.
  14. Yeah, but opening the window and shouting boy what's the weather is usually very accurate compared to that pine cone 😉
  15. NOAA 6.9 billion dollars or there abouts Vs £1.3 billion for our laughably inaccurate Met office.
  16. Keep drinking that koolaid
  17. Not really exploding anyone's mind.
  18. I avoid anything with Branagh, Wallander being the only exception. His acting & directing is just murder, most recently Poirot!. Sadly, you're completely missing the general point Johnsond is making. Steven P makes a very big song & dance about many subjects, but can't even vaguely explain what he does for a living, we don't want his extension number but for a "man" of many many many many fluffy all inclusive words it's something of an insult to not even try to answer. At this stage I'd be inclined to believe it's on the baggage desk at Edinburgh airport with all the free time he has to reply, that or the SNP legal office.
  19. FYI, St George was a Roman Turk.
  20. Yeah I seem to remember a little bit also left under that drax place too, no idea whatever happened to it all. Probably just opened up a museum, to explain to the kiddies this stuff was black gold, until we decided breathing was bad and explained to everyone it was much better for the planet to dig it up 3/4 the way round the planet and import it here. Until we decided to just let the Chinese make it for us instead and we all felt that warm glow of eco madness that you get from freezing to death in winter.
  21. And the green washed buying coke coal from Japan, that was probably Australian coal.
  22. Personally I'd go Amazon or eBay, £4 delivered it's barely even worth worrying about. Just compare the expensive ones picture to what's on eBay.
  23. Fuelwood were looking
  24. If it was now obsolete T60 they were blue, yeah avoid getting them wet. The yellow ones are better and to change the battery you need to remove the whole rear cover not just a little cover.
  25. Think he's always been happy with the singular vaccines, triple the vaccine the greater the risk. All his kids are jabbed, he just wants safe and that's a simple request amd requirement when all the drs wish to do is jab and dose you at every turn. One per disease is a simple go, no go. And no the world wide trial doesn't count, it's not got 60 years of actual long term evidence. Next you'll be saying there's a mRNA insulin, yeah nobody is drinking the koolaid.
