  1. Give me strength, its not the numbers that count but why white south africans are being maimed and murdered.. to spread terror in their community to make em leave the land.. Jocob Zuma and his ilk are attempting to disposes the whites of their farms. because these farmers are white.. how much more racist can you get?.. Look at Rhodisia, look what happened there, and is still happening there.. white farmers being disposesed because they are white. disposesed by black racists..
  2. This a real racist in South Africa, the sooner he's swinging by the neck the better..
  3. Whats real journalism?.. who are you to say whats real or otherwise.. if a journalist comes round to get a story after your wife's been raped by black agitators for land redistribution why wouldn't you want to give a story?.. I'm sure as hell if white south africans went around raping and murdering black south africans you'd be the first to want it pointing out..
  4. I can't see why anyone is having a go at this fella.. the bloke who came round was taking the mick and he knew it.. the fella wanted his tree chopped at the red marks, seems straight forward to me.. turn up, two cuts and away you go.. 150 for half hrs work.. I'd like to know how people come to pricing jobs.. as far as I'm concerned it aught be pretty straight forward.. One climber 150 or there abouts.. one groundie, 70/80.. cost of getting shut of tree? this comes under how long is a piece of string.. So considering the job at hand, that tree should cost no more than a couple of hundred on a good day.. if the farmer stands in as a groundie, he saves 70/80 quid...
  5. Jail her for being a journalist?...
  6. no one said you couldn't wash it if you wanted to.. heres a thing, have a dozen lanyards to hand, get a crap tree use the one you don't mind getting full of shit.. you can wash it afterwards.. is there a law against having as many lanyards as you want?..
  7. or use a spade to spade it out that gets stuck... much cheaper than faffing about with air holes everywhere..
  8. Its just an idea, I've been looking at a cheap four wheel trailer on ebay to try it out.. I'll do some investigating to see how chip might fall out.. or, how the weight might be distributed if full.. someone pointed it out it would be of limited use as its only gonna be good as a chip trailer. well, thats fine by me, its all I want it for...
  9. The ketamene was given to her as medication after a seizure.. If you think reporting on the murder of white farmers is stirring up racial hatred then what do you call someone investigation the Jewish Holocaust?.. Same thing different scale, as yet.. What happened to Rhodesia, more than half the white population have moved on, nothing to do with black racists murdering white farmers was it?...
  10. when I say old crappy rope I mean good rope you don't mind binning afterwards if its full of shit.. you only need to make a small length to make a makeshift lanyard.. whats better, ruining a good rope or using something you can throw away?.. I'll use the throwaway if I have to..
  11. Spreading racial hatred?.. what a load of cobblers, more like humiliating their crap government.. These morons can't even keep a tap running..
  12. I nearly did the same a couple of years back, after going to the trouble of buying all the new kit and learning how to use it, a friend asked me to chop one of those tree's down.. not been at it five minutes and started to get covered in sticky gunk... My solution was to go back to old school.. ladder to get into the tree, then some crappy rope to tie in if needed.. free climbed it for the most part.. My feeling were I wasn't spending hundreds to get it all full of shit for an old tree like that.. its not as though those kinds of tree's are hard to get down, straight up, chopping as you go, then work down chopping the stem..
  13. whats a climbers typical day rate?... 150 or so?... seems to me you hire in a climber on day rate and get him to chop it down and you shift it... or am I missing something. I'd chop it down and scarper for 150. if I lived nearby that is... the fella can stand in for a groundie...
  14. Your right, it is a bit of both.. But, considering its subject matter, I'd say it was intended as a joke first, then on reflection it might be a fable/described as such.. whats also funny is I've just been ruminating on whether its a joke or fable on the way home from gettin some shoppin in.. like I have nothing better to do than contemplate this sort of stuff LOL's...
  15. Its a joke, a fable usually involves a fox, a rabbit/hare or tortoise. this had none of those three. Plus, unlike a fable it makes one laugh.. does the hare and the tortoise fable make you laugh?, no, its designed to make you think.
  16. A bullock is a younger male cow on top of a hill as far as I'm concerned.. and thats especially true when the said young bull is in a joke... And its even more true when I can't think what a young bull is called officially off the top of my head late on at night. Now, about this goring business, my bulls, young or old are especially friendly and even more so if the two of em are contemplating doing a herd of cows down a hill in five minutes... Mick, the way my friend told it, it was much funnier than the joke in the vid..
  17. I wonder if they did Jewish jokes back then, there were three men in a boat, a Persian, an Egyptian and a Jew?...
  18. I'm sure Plato was much to serious to tell jokes VI.. me on the other hand?.
  19. depends what you want to spend.. But money aside, what about this?. its a shredder not a chipper
  20. You know what this pic reminds me of Matelot?.. A joke a friend of mine told me twenty years back... A young bullock atop the hill looking down on a herd of cows.. Lets run down there said the bullock to the old bull and we'll fk a cow apiece.... Hold on there young un, we'll walk down and fk em all...
  21. To merely provoke?.... hahahaha if it takes being provocative to get a point across to make people think then I'm all in. Then theres being opinionated, I'm most definitely that. I didn't know I was opinionated till someone pointed it out, accused me of being just that as though it was a crime.. to be honest I was rather pleased with myself when I found out I was opinionated.. anything I said to myself, but please don't find me dull... Another thing I found out was me and Plato think alike and he argued the toss in much the same way I do. I didn't know that as well, and that pleased me no end to think Plato argued just like me. Great minds Village idiot, great minds.!!!!!!..
  22. Jordan Peterson would say the danger in extreme feminism is it agitates as a group identity.. This is where woman and men identify as part of a group and not an individual in society.. Islam, Christianity and Judaism all thrive under the same assumption.. To belong to the group is paramount over individual rights.. For instance, British common law, or the US constitution.. bulwarks against group identity or authoritarian extremism.. communism, another form of authoritarian group identity or Nazism. whether its Islam Communism or feminism its all about suppressing decent, and if it takes violence to do that then thats what it will take to get it done.. Just happens with feminism and the alt left nazi cowards they ain't gained the political clout or reached a tipping point just yet. But believe me given the chance these scumbags are just as likely to send you to the gas chambers as the nazi's were if you tramp on any of their sacred cows.. look at early Christianity, from a persecuted minority in the Roman Empire to an authoritarian dictatorship that murdered thousands for descent. Look at Islam, early on it was tolerant enough, but as its power expanded so did the brutality of its followers. And don't imagine any of the early christian's or Muslims murdered to spread terror, they did it because they imagined it was a good thing in the long run. kill a few thousand to save time in saving all the world... same thing with communism, same thing if Corbyn had his way.. Makes you wonder if the fella who coined the phrase, the road to hell is laid with good intentions, knew a thing or two.... Anyways, notice the correlation, every institution that wants to save mankind from himself is always the institution that needs to kill the most'est the fastest to get us into paradise... beware of those with good intentions..
  23. I never realized fox's were so timid.. nice to hear your fox is still making a visit. the one I had in the house has been back since but scarpered out the outhouse when I went to look at it.. I put a meat pie out for it, but its a toss up who gets it, the fox or the cat... and to think I used to worry about the cat being eaten by a fox at one time as well.....
  24. I remember her breaking the ice for water, and I remember her saying she slept with the cattle for warmth in the dead of winter.. Those two things are the ones that stuck out from watching that program all those years back.. and to be honest, I imagined she must of died many years back, so it was with some surprise I read that she'd only just passed away.. Watching the vid last night, stood in the bier with her cattle, "your going to miss your favorite cows aren't you Hannah"? took a moment to answer and then a moments contemplation, holding back a tear. I had a lump in my throat, and held back a tear of my own.. Lovely woman..
  25. Damn I remember watching this about her years back.. got to 91 though, god bless her little heart....
