Must be like a microcosm of Brexit happening in your house then, Mr J. Just make sure it’s a clean break eh!? [emoji6][emoji51]

Hey Stubby, you sure it’s not ‘shore’, it cod be a different way of spelling it.

Ok, I’ll bite..... He’s not my favourite politician, but.... I like the way he didn’t lose his bottle when confronted face to face with ‘loons’ a while back. Not frightened to speak his mind, which puts him in a much higher bracket than most of the chameleon, shape-shifting vote grabbers on the other side of the house. He actually demonstrates a good grasp of the subject matter when speaking. (Compare that with Dianne Abbott) Who would do a better job of running the country.... JRM or Corbyn? I know where I would put my money.

I don’t love or condone everything Israel does, but I certainly believe in the right for Jewish people to have their own homeland where they belong. They have suffered a lot more throughout history than the Arabs have. The Arabs have plenty of land, why aren’t they helping the Palestinians. Being Palestinian in the ME must be crap, but not as tough as it is for Christians. https://www.meforum.org/articles/2018/215-million-christians-persecuted-mostly-by-muslim

This makes interesting reading. Particularly the accounts from the Palestinians themselves. https://www.newenglishreview.org/Norman_Berdichevsky/Palestine_Betrayed_(by_the_Palestinians)/ Like you, Mark, I also hate to see innocent people suffer. You can’t blame everything on Israel. (And expect to be taken seriously) Shalom.

Not yet Mark, but I would love to. My wife has been on several occasions.

And, of course UNRWA and the Palestinian authorities have done so much to advance the cause of child welfare in the region. Ie.. teaching children the merits of genocide from an early age in their UN funded schools. Using schools to launch rocket attacks at Israeli civilian areas (where children live and play) in order to deliberately draw IDF fire so that the world can express its horror and outrage at the evil Zionist apartheid nazi regime. Teaching Palestinian kids a new variation on ‘kite flying’ Etc.. I haven’t posted any links to news articles but there are plenty out there that tell the other side of the story.

Nice place you got there....

Big trouble! [emoji23] I find it remarkable how a mere half an hour and a centimetre of skin can totally reverse the polarity of a ‘progressive’ persons moral compass. It really would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic.

Haha, welcome to the thread Erik. Talking of force ably removing children from their mothers, I couldn’t resist sharing this with you. [emoji106] https://babylonbee.com/news/kamala-harris-reiterates-strong-support-for-separating-families-at-border-of-birth-canal/

Well done mate.

My parents were middle class but I’m working class, I guess. Depends how you define it.

On form today, Mr J. Having once been a ‘career’ protester, anarchist punk, class war, stop the city’. black, lesbian, one parent families against the bomb’ socialist worker, type of person, wholly sponsored by the DHSS. ( in a previous incarnation ). I really think your onto something there. The inescapable irony here is that what was once considered ‘counter cultural’ has now become the mainstream..... who would have ever thought that ‘presenting’ as a middle aged, heterosexual , slightly conservative, white male, with a Judeo-Christian worldview would ever be classed as ‘counter cultural’. And yet.........

Boris.... not quite as green as he is cabbage looking.

Hopefully, it will have a knock on effect and we will get a meaningful exit. It doesn’t even look like we’re going to get our fishing rights back, which admittedly isn’t the biggest issue in terms of real value, but serves as a good barometer to what is really happening in the big picture. It makes you wonder who is really pulling the strings? The remainers seem to have gone worryingly quiet, it’s almost like they sense they are getting their way after all.

Well spotted. But it’s everywhere. https://www.unwatch.org/one-year-later-answer-jews/

So we ‘get to’ stay in Europe but we have to have our teeth and claws removed and be castrated as well. Sounds like a great deal. Hopefully no one will notice eh?.......

At least we don’t have to adopt that dreadful Delamitri song as our ‘anthem’ .

Personally, I don’t think there is much appetite for that over there. He kept them safe and alive through a tough ordeal after all. The blame and claim culture that cripples us here in the West (started in the US) hopefully hasn’t infected them over there yet. I remember a copper over here nearly got prosecuted for wading into a lake trying to save a guy who had drowned. The rest of the emergency services were on the bank set up filling in risk assessments trying to decide whether or not it was safe to go in........

IIRC a s/factor of ~ 11 is given for blocking down. Least it is on CS 41. I think it is in the rigging research as well.

Find out the MBS of the weakest component in your system, divide it by 11, that will give you your ‘safe working load’. for the size/weight of the peice. As others have mentioned it’s best to leave out the tape sling. To convert KN to KG simply add 2x zero’s.
