  1. As far as I'm aware the only crime to be got at when speaking your mind or offering up your opinions is incitement.. Did this video have the potential to incite violence?... I doubt it. seems the only people worried was some halfwit PC moron with nothing better to do than work himself up on behalf of the those they imagined an offence had taken place.. plus a judge who hasn't got a brain cell beyond the original doubling he got for free at conception.. what a prick.. The crime here is not uploading a video done in poor taste, but the agenda of the New Nazi's masquerading as public servants. How did these cowards get the jobs they have?... why have they not been rooted out and booted out.. scumbags.. Tommy Robinson... decent fella who don't know when to keep his mouth shut or what to say when it opens. Even so, I'd rather Tommy Robinson than those two craven cowards who went out their way to convict a bloke for fkin about with his girlfriends pet dog. and why we're about it, these types of cowards are exactly what happened when Salman Rushdie published the Satic Verses.. Instead of the book being seen as a novel as it was, these types would of hunted Rushdie down for incitement and handed him over to the Muslim mob.. the lowest level of scumbaggery and craven cowardice only comes from those going out their way to defend the feeling of others.. virtue signally pieces of shit..
  2. My internet went down a couple of weeks back just after that icy weather.. I thought it'd been cut off but found out it had been a loose connection at the junction box. Nice fella came down and put it back on again the other day.. I left it off for a week before I arranged for the menders to fix her up. to detox from the net.. Only I soon got real bored with no internet and no telly.. luckily during this down time a fella I was doing a job for told me his son had a spare telly going for nothing.. well, better than nothing so I took him up on his offer.. 42in telly LCD.. been watching a few films and documentaries, even popped into a few soaps I hadn't seen in years.. Anyways I'm back up and running barring a few gremlins to do with download speeds..
  3. nothing like the comforts of home eh?... ha, come next winter if its anything like this one the past couple of weeks you can be as miserable as the rest of us... welcome back...
  4. I was gonna say at point I don't know why you don't tuck your chipper in of a night LOL's.. No, but joking aside I think you have a good idea, and its nice to see your passion on the subject. I've enjoyed this thread, and well done for showing it to us all..
  5. You might not be able to fathom an answer but I can.. Early Islam wasn't what it is today, its been stiffed by hardliners over the years.. at one time collecting books was seen as the mark of a good scholar.. Later Islamic leaders went so far as to burn any books if it hadn't anything to do with Islam. Luckily by then the old works had found their way into Europe through Spain.. The Rabbinical European Jews went the opposite direction, from hardline isolationists to people wanting to mix with the rest of society. They began to open schools teaching science and other disciplines.. mostly because they were barred from christian schools or universities.. Its no surprise the Jews excelled given they have a higher IQ in the population then we do.. something to do with Rabbis who were generally pretty bright getting all the women.. and doin most of the breeding. So it isn't a mystery. Jews wanted to learn, Muslims didn't.. Oh, and the Jews aren't a semetic people, by and large they are of European decent.. converts to the faith more than semetic immigrants.. You might say they're what Hitler wanted, a European super race..
  6. Oh did he now!!. well I'll tip my hat to the fella... to many soft uns these days.. I used to tie in with a bit of bailing string or owt lying about.. rachet straps seems like a godsend.. I wouldn't expect anyone to do the things I've done mind.. but seein as its me doin it, I'l do a job as I see fit...
  7. I dread to think how they went on fifty years back, what without tickets an all.. training and tickets, who needs em
  8. If you think the same way at fifty as you did at twenty, you've just wasted thirty years of your life. Mohamed Ali.
  9. Wish it was, would of cost me less on keeping it on the road..
  10. I'd stick at it and find something else to do besides tree work.. make tree work your No1 priority but get somethin else on the boil at the same time.. And on the off chance you're a bit to keen, learn how to say no... if a jobs out the way, or to much trouble then fk it.. let someone else do it..
  11. I was wondering about this, I get the sense of freelancer reading through his post..
  12. Well it would help had I been a mathematician.. as it is I can't be expected to make any sense of all that galumph. If your asking me, just ask a logging company how much they extract per hectare and build an analysis on that. I'm sure its much easier to calculate from logging data and extrapolating that data to cover a wider area of interest than faffing about the way these morons are doin it.. reminds of the story of the money NASA spent inventing a pen that works in space, only to find the Russians used a pencil..
  13. Come back when its explained how its done. all I've read is its done with lasers.. not much to go there is there.. Mind you, you post a report to a scientific rag and it says lasers were used to get at the stats, they're much happier to publish the story.. Tells you more about the quality of the editors than any science that might,(caugh) be involved..
  14. people will believe absolutely anything.. How does a laser get through leaves to begin with?.. must do it in winter when theres no leaves blocking the view.. oh, but then again the other branches in the way.. is it on a drone?.. I've an idea, guesstimate the volume as best can be scientifically ascertained and you'll do better than spending 150 grand on some stupid gizmo dreamed up by some bozo wanna be science student... People, most scientific literature is bollocks on a stick... just because its in a science rag don't mean shit..
  15. Snow everywhere, a month too late.. now I've seen you, you can piss off back were you came from..
  16. lovely looking things.. In case anyones interested, I was. heres how they're done..
  17. my question would be is that a private road you found your kit on?... a case of park it here lads, thanks for the tenner.. worse than the thieves some people...
  18. I make sure I have a slush fund ready every time my MOT is due...
  19. A lad from Breightmet and someone from the travelers site in Moses Gate, never would of thought!!!.. How do you know the lad was from Breightmet?.,..
  20. Its just come to me, a friend had her shogun nicked off her yard in broad daylight a month or so back.. I'm sure she mentioned a silver vauxall.. looked Romanian from discrimination she was given... headed off towards Bury. said there was about three of em.. About the i before the e.. spellchecker sorts that all out for me..
  21. No problem, we're always happy to help.... Just out of curiosity, and to settle any dispute.. why did you point out you were coming from the services?.. now be honest, no ones gonna bite you if you felt it might give you a bit of a thumbs up... And to be honest with you, I wasn't having a go at you in particular, just the general idea of ex service personal making a thing of it.. And why I'm on the subject I was doin a tree the other day, and managed to pull my back out moving the logs out the way.. its put me in a fowl mood and I wonder why anyone wants to do any sort of tree work if it involves two days stooped over afterwards... perhaps its why I tried to point out you might not really like it.. its harder than you think it is..
  22. Yea, just thought he'd point it out...
  23. Ah shut your trap, "you hate me".. drama queen!!!... And, I haven't got anything against anyone who's been in the forces. I'd happily sit down and listen to hrs of their adventures. What annoys is introducing themselves as ex forces like it entitles em to some respect.. yea, well I'll respect someone when I feel they've earned it.. being in the forces might be nothing more than sweeping floors.. if they did something worth reporting on then I'll tip my hat.. And I remember a thread sometime last year, a fella trained William or Harry as a pilot, I think it was that scotish lad who worked on oil rigs gave him a hard time(pretended to work on the oil rigs).. I'm trying to think if Mr Bullman had somethin to say back then..
  24. I'd get a mid'ling sort of a saw on the off chance chopping tree's isn't as easy as it looks.. And, somethin thats bin botherin me is the, "I'm leaving the forces".. like so what!!!.. what do you want a medal?.. Would be nice if all we were told was he was looking into getting into chopping tree's as he's moving on from his current job.. I don't know about anyone else but doin time in the forces cuts nice ice with me....
