    So the only real advantage is that if you’ve misread or lied on your insurance and you fook up big they can’t come after your personal assets.

    What are the advantages of being a limited company? (no dog in the fight, but curious)
  3. Mick Dempsey
    Wouldn’t that be a bit like taking out car insurance after you had a crash?

    Now we’re farming!

    You underestimate how much I want to go home.

    Anyway, back to the original intent of the thread. I doubt whether they’ll be many insolvencies, but a lot of kit will be sold off very cheap to pay off debts before a lot of warehouse/supermarket jobs get applied for.

    Hang on! Let’s not lose grip on reality here.

    I’m warming to @kevinjohnsonmbe’s idea of a military coup.
  9. Mick Dempsey
    I thought that as well, but I can’t find such a thing on t’internet.

    @Stephen Blair what do you mean ‘auto hitch’?
  11. Mick Dempsey
    Only marginally, but they gave me back what I paid over a year ago for the 750 against the list price of the new one Plus this was actual footage of me when I saw @Stephen Blair’s 755i.! Seemed like a deal, new machine, upgrade blah blah.. Basically I wanted one.

    New loader and old loader 760 arrived today.

    Let us know how they get on.

    They’re going to get more than a sniff of it pretty soon. I’m so tired of people trying to wave away the collapse of the Tories and the governance of the UK into farce by trotting out the old ‘but Labour will be worse!’
  15. Mick Dempsey
    Mostly like this it seems.

    Turned 30 and realised I had utterly failed to make any sort of career plan. I had a guy I worked for who was an idiot who did the 10 week course at Merrist Wood, so I thought if he can do it I can (1995) Saved my money (around a grand iirc) and cycled there from my parents house every day 36 miles there and back. Scraped through, got a job, got the sack, got another job, worked there for a year till I had enough experience to start on my own. Then the real journey began.

    Important choices ahead..

    White birch.

    I guess the moral is that I should buy my own timber lorry!
  21. Mick Dempsey
    Chip to a local sawmill who sells it along with bark and sawdust to someone for something (never really been sure what) Rubbish wood goes onto an enormous pile out in my field, where it’ll sit till it rots long after I’m dead. Good wood and mill-able sticks gets collected from site by a bloke with a timber lorry who never gives me as much as a bottle of wine for it.

    It’s a modern phenomenon I suppose. I speak to young people who find some kind of merit in this stuff, whoring their life out, building up a following, buying fake followers and likes, with the ultimate goal as a few quid or notoriety leading to fame. Most people would be embarrassed about posting these vids, but Sam here has a dream, and he believes it’s a noble one, and you’re a hater if you don’t think he’s great.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    No problems here atm, thank you for your concern.
  24. Mick Dempsey
    It’s ok, nice looking women, bit of music, bit of Saturday night entertainment I can at least watch with the wife. Went downhill when Brucey packed it in and they let that clothes-horse Tess host it.

    True, I hardly ever sharpen on the job these days, except in extremis. In a well lit workshop, saw in a vice, wearing my glasses is the only hope for me.
