  1. Personally, I don't think that Brexit is why the Tories lost ground. Cutting money to the elderly is always going to lose votes (and rightly so IMO) especially when you have the likes of Corbyn promising free money. The Tories (literally) failed to show up at the election campaign. Times have changed, politicians underestimate the importance and influence of live TV debates at their peril. The young voters that Corbyn managed to gather weren't around when The Soviet Union served as a reality check for many who would otherwise have socialist leanings. Now we have the Lily Allen/Charlotte Church/Linda Sarsour generation. I think Corbyn has been very shrewd in how he fought his campaign. God forbid he should ever get elected. We simply don't live in the kind of world where his ideologies or policies would have any real lasting benefit. Timon.
  2. What are their options? Realistically. Timon.
  3. How about the Morris Ital? Legendary British exotica..... Or the Austin 1300 GT.... Timon.
  4. As long as we don't have to start driving British Leyland cars again I think we'll manage somehow.... Timon.
  5. We have fishing grounds! There will be some pretty cheesed off European fishermen when we start to enforce our exclusion zones and work to our own quotas. Not the full deck of cards but it's a start [emoji846] Timon.
  6. Started (properly qualified) climbing at 48. Did all my tickets up to CS41. Getting quicker and more efficient all the time and building confidence. Still got a few years left in the tank. If I had been production climbing for 20 odd years every day it might be a different story. Timon.
  7. A very enlightened post [emoji106] Timon.
  8. Thanks, that's helpful. [emoji106] Timon.
  9. Hi David. I know you're not in this neck of the woods but what's the ballpark figure for a resistograph reading of one tree? Thanks Timon.
  10. Honestly, that is freaky.... Has someone spiked her tea with illegal substances? Mamba or PCP ? Timon.
  11. S'right. Obama pursued more people for the crime of "whistle blowing" than all the previous presidents put together. Then... just before he left office he brought in new legislation to allow freedom of information on an unprecedented scale... Talk about the politics of a chameleon. Timon.

    Dead fir log

    Very down to earth and humble Reg. Thanks for sharing and taking the time. Bet you were glad to have those cedars near by for an anchor. [emoji106] Timon.
  13. Evening Rich. Did the tent survive the wind yesterday? [emoji106] Timon.
  14. And we could blame the death of Welsh anthracite on someone else! [emoji41] Timon.
  15. Good post. Thought provoking. (I still don't believe that God enjoyed giving "those" orders in the Bible far less that the Bible "glorifies" them ) It seems like Islam is having a bit of an identity crisis right now...., [emoji106] Timon.
  16. Very busy here. I've got 15 quotes to do this Saturday. Got another climber with us now as well. Not enough hours in the day. Like Steve says, the silly prices competition seems to have died out now as well. Timon.
  17. I often think to myself...... I wonder what I'd do if I didn't win the lottery......? Timon.
  18. How about ..... I've tried to educate the customer with all of the arguments against topping, but he's still adamant. Do I walk away with my professional integrity intact or do I do the job 'cos I've got wages/bills/tax to pay and a family to feed? Timon.
  19. I know a girl who won £1.4m on the lottery. Believe it or not, it totally destroyed her life. She actually said it was the worst thing that had ever happened to her. Timon.
  20. I know...... I'm one of them! However crap it is I'm always mindful that when it comes to living on planet Earth, this (life in the UK) is about as good as it gets. I'm grateful for what I have and I try to be careful what I wish for...... Went for a curry the other night with a good mate who has spent a lot of time in Haiti. Speaking to him gave me some much needed perspective on how good we really have it. [emoji106] Timon.
  21. In the unlikely event of Corbyn getting elected, do you think we would be able to have a second election on the grounds that no one really knows what they are voting for? ... you know, like Brexit. Timon.
  22. Talk about fleecing the electorate [emoji849] Timon.
  23. The Earth and the universe are dying. Mankind is very sick in many ways. If you read the Bible (and not just the NWT) God reaches out to a lost and dying world through his son Jesus Christ (God in human flesh and blood) Do you remember why he flooded the Earth? (This debate could run and run). I think it's hard for anyone to deny that mankind could use the help of a saviour. We've made a pretty big mess of things so far. It's going to take more than a general election to put things right! [emoji846] Timon.
  24. We've got an excellent condition 9" pto Greenmech for sale at a good price. Needs 50hp to power it. Pm or ring me for further details. 07595119775 Timon.
  25. Why not? We do!! Timon.
