  1. Anyways, wheres Timon when you need him.. I'd like to hear his thoughts on the subject..
  2. No, he's been moved out on the advice of the police.. the police move people out in these situations as a matter of course till tensions subside.. all these threats from the family are B/S.. just sounding off because thats all they can do..
  3. I'd suggest it suggests a wolf who thinks for itself, and not some sheep penned in too scarred to leave the fold...
  4. Well I hope it does.. I'm all for beating down on my enemies and showing no mercy if thats whats warranted.. but if they die, then its time to be magnanimous.. I suppose thats what I'm trying to get at, the fella is dead, time to put our bitterness aside and move on... let those that love your enemies grieve as they can and show some respect for their loss... all I'm saying is let them grieve in peace, even if they might of gone about it arse over tit..
  5. Yes I would care.. if someones laid a memorial out for Hitler I'd care if it was desecrated.. theres something holy about a memorial.. it should be respected for what it is, not who its laid out to..
  6. Yea, and the fella is now dead, good riddance.. I'm just sayin his family aught be given a little slack considering one of em is now dead.. I imagine they're more than a little upset, its not like they can have his killer sent to prison, they can't even have him go to the trouble of explaining his action in a court of law. and its not like like any of em are gonna hunt the pensioner down. its all bluster because they have nothing else they can do. all they can do is make a noise and troll the fella's killer by leaving flowers near his home.. like I said, let have their minute then it'll be over all the sooner...
  7. No sunshine, I'm just sayin it how I see it.... destroying a memorial no matter how distasteful it seems is pretty rotten if your asking me...
  8. Well it ain't like he's livin there is it you knobrock, get a grip!!!..
  9. No, my point was that it isn't right to desecrate a memorial. and yes, they shouldn't of placed one were they did.. but, considering they're all emotionally up in the air at the minute then let it slide and just let em do what they thought was right for them.. Like I said, the fella was a scumbag, but from what we know he wasn't Jack the Ripper..
  10. Look, I know quite a few gypsies, and not all of em are thieving fkers.. some of em are decent folk tryin to get by.. theres a quite a few go to church on a regular basis that I know, so we shouldn't be tarring all of em with the same brush, even though I do that myself on occasion.. Bear in mind his two daughters, its not them that made the rest of em put the flowers there, all they hear is someone has torn em down. so yea, we have our pound of flesh but let it go when it comes to how they've decided to deal with the whole situation..
  11. No I don't think it appropriate, but neither is destroying flowers laid in his memory by some of his friends and family. The fella has been killed, let em mourn the fella in peace in whatever way they see fit, even if it don't seem right its the least we should let em do..
  12. Well its all gone a bit pear shaped in it, apparently the dead fellas family have taken over the street according to the latest installment on google news. Just like me I expect a lot of em to be conflicted as well, but just like me they will draw the line at the desecration of a shrine to a fella, no matter what he's done.. lets have it right as well, the fella killed was a thief and general scumbag, but from what I know he's never killed no one. anyone would think it was him thats killed a pensioner.. A sense of proportion is called for..
  13. man tears down tribute to the fella killed in that burglary.. A bit conflicted on this, these idiots shouldn't of put flowers there in my opinion.. then again its not on to just rip em, down.. To be honest I'm not happy the fella isn't gonna end up in a court room of some sort as well.. if only to give an explanation to satisfy a sense of justice being done.. Haven't any sympathy for the fella killed mind, the best place for him is where he's at at the moment.. As far as I'm concerned some people are just better off dead.
  14. Man thats some hard reading just there Sean.. It got me to trawling utube for some motivational videos to post up to cheer you up and give you a bit of fight for things to come, can't be easy goin from a healthy young fella to being disabled overnight.. I dare say it can't be easy just getting through a week like that, never mind months or years. I recon if it was me I'd of folded by now and thought about throwing myself off a bridge or some other way to end it all. Damn, if I have a cold or flue I get to feel like chucking it in.. in that regards your certainly made of better stuff than I am.. I suppose if it was me though, I'd be concentrating on the small things in this life to bring some solace to an otherwise miserable situation.. I have a saying when I visit friends and find they've bought those crappy cheap tea bags or shitty coffee to save money.. Look I say, if you can't afford the big things in this life then at least spend some extra on the little things like tea bags.. if you can't take pleasure from the big things in life then at least take some pleasure from the little things... And lets be honest its the little things that matter mostly anyways.. when you add it all up that is.. anyways, I'm not gonna post a motivational utube vid up, I thought I'd tell you about tea bags instead. I recon Steven Hawkins was on to something when he gave out that advice as well, though he might of kept his mouth shut about robots taking over the world mind.. in that regards he was way off the mark..
  15. Erm, point being, Putin thinks he can get away with murder, its up to us/the West to bring the dick back down to earth. what better way than to steal off him as he's stole off others to drive the point home.. as to nuclear war, we threaten to us them, just as he has.. in the case of Kaliningrad, we let him know we intend to use em, not just threaten to use them.. afraid its the only way to beat down hard on a bully like Putin..
  16. Unlike May, the US and its President have some balls.. not to mention a nuclear arsenal that scares the shit out of even Putin. So, though the evidence might not be exactly conclusive, we all know Putin has his filthy hands all over that poison. Now me, I'd be right now making preparation for the invasion of Kaliningrad, that piece of Europe Stalin stole off the poles/Germans at wars end.. I wouldn't give a monkeys what Putin or any Russian had to say or what threats they might want to make, the Russians have took Crimea, its only right we/the West get our piece of the pie back.. If Putin wants a nuclear war, then lets oblige and give it to him with both barrels.... scumbags that he is..
  17. after the job was done and you drove home, did you feel a foot taller, or even dare I say it sainted?.. You can't put a price of doin good turn. gives you a glow inside and fills the heart to bursting.. well done..
  18. Stealth camping might be an option..
  19. Oh, don't get me wrong I'm not knocking Greenmech, I was just pointing out everyones took a good idea and tried to improve it.. If on the other hand Greenmech thought to put tracks on their wee chipper, I'd suggest some more emulation and copy, cough!!! emulate Jo Buea and put something like a Jo Buea500 on tracks.. with it having a lower centre of gravity it would be a lot more stable.. You might want to put that to your design team and see if it could be made to the right price..
  20. Tell that to Greenmech, they nicked the idea of someone as well.. changed the engine location mind..
  21. hahaha Andrew Neil gave him a right hiding. I can't stand Corbyn myself but even I draw the line at calling him a traitor.. though in that brexit interview he did all he could to make people vote leave so as he could use state aid to prop up various pet industries he's got his eyes on.. Meanwhile, good news on the Putin front, the weasel little scumbag has just got himself a black eye on the diplomatic front. what a knob..
  22. No, I'd say its more like the galving plant can't get it perfect every time.. its what galv is like.. instead of complaining, might as well accept galv is just like that.. its nothin to worry about..
  23. Buy a file if it bothers you that much.. I couldn't care less about the odd galv spike myself.. I'm always on edge when I put a trailer on that it might fall off the back of the truck.. Never been the same since one of my friends trailers decoupled and killed an old lady, he got nine months,not to mention the poor old dear lost her life.. against that, the odd galv spike ain't worth worrying about...
  24. Well I wouldn't know one way or the other, maybe they do maybe they don't. anyway, who's really bothered aboutt galv looking a bit untidy in places. as long as it covered it's all that matters..
  25. don't trailer manufacturers send their chassis off to be galvanized?.. I mean I don't exactly know to be honest but I imagine they mostly do.. which begs the question, why complain about the finish if its not them that did the galving?..
