  1. I've been deleting my "mainstream" news apps one by one and looking more at "off the beaten track" ones for the real news. Here's a couple. https://www.debka.com/ https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/ http://m.jpost.com/ Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but the narratives served up by the BBC, The Mail and CNN were beginning to grate a bit...
  2. UKIP's new leader looks like a good pick. Good experience and politically even-handed by the looks of it. Could be worth a punt in the future [emoji106]
  3. I've got it..... It's Linda McCartneys liver
  4. I've got some wet foamback carpet here and some old Mog tyres, you wouldn't mind would you? [emoji91][emoji91]
  5. Pretty much I think, MrJ. Talk about swallowing a camel and straining at a gnat... Call me old fashioned but I think the world was a better place when you could burn "stuff".
  6. 576 is a great saw. Ours never misses a beat on a 25"
  7. Boxes need ticking MrJ. Looks good on the stats on the end of year report.
  8. Thanks. [emoji106]
  9. I've just bought a new Petzl Alveo vent. Very comfy and with sturdy fixtures. An excellent hat. I've tried a few different types. Vertex vent. Very good Kask. Comfy but VERY poor fixtures. CT climbing helmet. Very good but not suited to my head shape.
  10. Thanks for this info... the kill switch on ours stopped working a while back and yes... we use the choke to stop it. Hopefully I'll get to strip it down this weekend and it only needs tightening up. I'll have to dig out the magnifying glass...
  11. £20 Aldi fishing jacket (still going strong) when it rains. Sip progress trousers always warm. Cotton t shirt (base layer when it's really cold) husky fleece when I've come down from the tree.
  12. Short answer has to be "yes they are" In my little nieces school they have banned clapping because it could be too much for the kids to cope with.
  13. I do agree with you on that. But... I also think that the Tories are at least trying to reign in some of the debt and balance things even when it's unpopular with potential voters. The Labour Party seem to have no shame when it comes to promising anything and everything just to get votes. The student loans fiasco.., Corbyn running round like some ambulance chasing lawyer flitting from Glastonbury to Grenfell Tower to Ariana Grande. Apparently his campaign office made a right nuisance of themselves trying to get him an appearance at Manchester after the bombing. Corbyn really brings a whole new meaning to the term "The classless politician"
  14. I do realise. Reading up on them, I discovered they were also gladly adapted by Blair and Brown though, to hide debt from the balance sheet. no wonder they ran out of money. Just for the record, I don't like everything the Tories do and I don't hate everything that Labour do.
  15. PFI has been described as an effective way of removing debt from the balance sheet. (Without removing the debt) Should suit the Labour Party down to the ground.
  16. Should save you a fortune in concrete Mark! [emoji51]
  17. On a lighter note....,
  18. On a lighter note....,
  19. Great video. Some serious forces at play there! [emoji106]
  20. ATM the are two groups of scared, paranoid and hating people, racists and religious non muslims. Not wanting to be combative or disrespectful to you, but I find it a bit ironic that you disdainfully stereotype and group together all non Muslim "religious" people as scared, paranoid and hating. You're very quick to get on Matelot's case, yet you are guilty of exactly the same thing you accuse him of doing! You just direct your own prejudices and bigotry at a different group of people that's all. And, what's more you come across just as ignorant and hateful as any racist. I'm not trying to insult you or provoke you, but I just thought I'd mention it. Probably, face to face, and to your friends and family you're a good guy. Who knows? I notice
  21. 3 years old, mine. Not worth rebuilding. Going to have to replace. It's earned it's keep I guess.
  22. Pot and piston?
  23. For our own good? [emoji35][emoji51][emoji849]
