I read Trump watches fox news to gee himself of a morning then watches CNN to fill himself with venom... If you want to understand what animates Trump, were he gets his inspiration then listen to Ben Shapiro, got him to a tee.. All I care about is he keeps pissing off the establishment.. the more they wince, the better I feel.. I just wish he'd use the shithole metaphor in regards some of our own crap politicians..

Ha, just passed a million views.. Jordan Peterson, the second coming..... I love this fella..
-
everyone with a brain should watch this fella.. as to this particular vid, been checking in all day wondering when its going to top a million views... As far as I'm concerned this man is the most important fella on Utube at the minute.. bright articulate and incisive... he tore the woman to shreds..

I re-pointed a small Patio last year, my back was wrecking with all the bending down and on my knees chiseling the old grout out.. never again..

Brexit ! what will this mean ? ( lets get a good thread going )
Vespasian replied to digaholedumper's topic in General chat
Every time an article on manufacture comes up these days I have to wonder if they're talking about widgets or oil and gas output from the North Sea.. ten percent of Scotland's manufactures turns out to be oil and gas... its almost like sticking rain water into the stats to bulk em out.. -
I'll leave some food out for it.. I'd rather it gets on with its life. but if I find it back at the door I might take it as a sign it wants to move in. I might just be tempted to adopt it if it does..

Iran is changing.. here something to bring some balance, it ain't as bad as its painted..

Yea, I hate the bloodsports crowd myself, I often think it might be an idea to let them loose and chase em down with an AK, see how brave they are then...

Another of your pet concerns Timon.. I have a grand project in mind Timon, that one day we and Iran ally ourselves against the extremists of Sunni Islam.. We need to keep them on board.. Iran isn't the enemy you think they are.. Much like america with republicans and democrats, Iran is riven by the forces that animate american politics.. The Democrats in their country will one day rule the roost, much of their population is under thirty, they won't be held back forever.. strategic patience is needed, not revolution...

Well perhaps the cyclists have it.. cycling is sort of aerobic, perhaps a study to see if cyclists last longer than other athletes?..

OK thought I'd share a story with you all.. The other day I was sat on here doin my computer stuff, be about half seven in the evening and I heard some scuffling in the outhouse.. So I thinks it might be one the cats that hang about round here.. A thought crops up, maybe I can sneak in, catch the cat and feed it some food to befriend it and hope to have it pop in the house here an there to catch the damned mice I'm bein over-run with.. Tried traps, OK, tried poison, seemed to do the trick but now I've noticed they take off the husks of the poison thngy's.. not sure if its wheat covered in poison or owt but anyway the little scum bags have got wise to it. they chip the husks off these days. Anyways back to were I was.. sneak into the outhouse tried to focus on the far corner of the room, its pretty dark in there, to see if I can see which cat it is.. move in a little closer hears some rackling about so inch forward.. WTF.. its a fkin fox hidin in there.. two eyes fixed on my own eyes.. scarred me a little at first made me jump a touch.. never been this close to a fox and now I was stood there with a fox gawking back at me.. I wondered what to do, step back, let it bolt out or take the opportunity to have a good gander and take in the moment... anyways after a minutes I decides to go outside, take a leak and give it an opening to escape.. well no sooner had I got outside it bolts out the door and off it flies into the night.... Anyways over the next hr I'm wondering about this fox and ruminating on a fox's hard life in the Winter months. Be about an hr or two later I decide to go back out to see if it might of returned.. Well would you believe it. this time its at the back of the door leading to the outhouse.. I open this door thinking it might scare it and I expect to watch it bolt right back out again.. But Low, it walks straight into the kitchen.. Well I'll be blown I thinks.. I close the door and see what its about to do next, it bolted straight to the Rayburn and wedges itself amongst the pipework.. I leave it there for an minute then decide to play it cool.. goes back to the computer in the living room.. and get back to faffing on here again.. listening to signs of movement from the kitchen.. Took about half hr before it moved, I could hear it pissin about in the kitchen so I investigate, but as soon as it see's me its off back behind the rayburn.. I couldn't go too near it lest it bolted round the back and burned itself the dumb Fox it seemed to be... anyway I had some lamb I'd cooked the day before, it was in the fridge.. so I put it on a plate for when it came out again... Half hr later its back out, I could hear it playing with the plate of lamb... Well to cut along story short, it stayed the night, running amok in the kitchen and later coming into the living room. I could watch it from the couch I kip on but if I moved it bolted back into the kitchen. I thought I'd leave it be, get some sleep.. As I tried to get some kip It occasionally popped in here investigating the place, once in a while stopping inches away watching me try to get some sleep.. The next morning I could pick it up and stroke it.. I even had it on my lap at one point were it promptly curled up in a ball and went to sleep. I couldn't bring myself to disturb it so let it have an hr before I had to wake it up.. Lovely looking creature. must of been one of last years litter... Let it go after it'd spent an hr sat sleeping on my lap.. didn't bolt off like the first time I'd seen it, but walked off after taking a good look at the goats.. I don't know which was funnier, the fox eyeing up the goats or the goats trying to figure the fox.. Anyways, quite the experience having a wild fox sitting on your lap.... The lamb I'd put out for it, never did touch it,, a bit annoyed as I was looking forward to eating that as well...

OK came across some research the other day, the things I come across watching utube its amazing.. The human heart beats three times as long as any other mammals.. typically other mammals get one billion beats before they drop down dead.. the human heart lasts for three billion beats... what should this tell you?.... working yourself up into a state at the gym is gonna take years off... stick to aerobic exercises if you fancy living to old age... and the shoulders, don't forget to exercise those.. much more important than you might think.. roll your shoulders and see if that doesn't have a calming effect on your mind....

Some of those vids of his scare the crap out of me.. and yes, when you only have a spanner everything looks like a nut... if you have all the rigging equipment, then I dare say theres a feeling you aught be seen using it..

what he said and what happened can be worlds apart..

I think you mean theres a lot of scientists who now think the Universe didn't have a cause.. I'm of the same opinion myself.. Thats not to say it was created by an outside cause though is it?.. its cause is contained within itself...
-
First off I said when appropriate.. and NO I don't use a push powered mower.. I use what gonna get the job done fastest.. To whit why I said natural crotch rigging when applicable.. ie most of the time I imagine.. How is it quicker, I don't know,perhaps you aught ask this fella, he seems to know what he's talking about..

After watching that vid by the Aussie bloke its dawned on me that a lot of people might be cracking nuts with a sledgehammer... Use some crap rope and a branch for friction... obviously not always but I'm sure most of the time it'd be as quick, not to mention save wear and tear on the more expensive gizmo's people want to have..

Always a good thing to put a fella's mind at peace Stubby, on the off chance your Micks mysterious friend..

No, I never question what I'm doing.. or question if I should carry on.. I joined this forum for a reason and that reason still stands.. to learn from people who work on tree's and to have a place to spout off.. I particularly like the spouting off stuff.. So you can tell your friend he can be rest assured I'm gonna be here some time..

Seems to me Silkyfox's enthusiasm for his blog has just run its course.. it happens to everyone, first you're exited to get stuck in then over time you question what your doin, what you have been doin.. you start to believe you might of just been wasting your time.. You wonder if its worth carrying on, if you should carry on.. you lose your motivation and eventually give up.. move onto the next big thing in your life.. I've been watching Utube channels for ten years now, watched some uploaders go from a couple of hundred subs to over a million,, they all reach a point were it dont seem as important as it used to.. the excitements gone, now it seems like work..

I just read that Nigel Farage wants another referendum.. He can see were its all going.. anyways its gonna be another good year for me, its been three or four years straight were I've been interested in British and European politics... manna from heaven for me.. Then theres Trump and america watching.. the times have never been so good.... These glory days Timon, these glory days...

You might not be interested in getting the bible into the science class, but the creationists certainly are... thats their agenda when they attempt to undermine evolution to replace it with their own version of how the world came into being... You get the idea when creationists come out with things like evolution is only a theory.. its not a theory in the sense its an unproven idea. Its a theory in the scientific sense, its been proven... Religion is about faith, science is about finding truths.. the problem is people of faith feel their particular version of reality is the truth.. they can't figure they've confused truth with faith.. and thats why the creationists should never get into a classroom teaching science...

Slow day at work?.. its been the first day I've even left the house to do any work today in a good two months.. I've been grinding my teeth about you though for a day or two... why are you on board with the creationists wanting to get the bible into the science class?... religion stays in the religious education department.. science is for science....

Hydrothermal Vents... You might want to consider what the earth was like early in its life.. nothing like it is today.. Seismic activity would of been off the scale.. Tidal waves hundreds of feet high washing hundreds of miles in land twice a day... Asteroids and Meteorites delivering millions of tons of water annually.. These thermal Vents must of numbered in the hundreds of billions back in the day.... if your asking me its harder to feel such things couldn't one day produce some reaction that might lead to life.....

err depends on the axe I suppose, and the axes are to support his channel... so your not just buying an axe as such your contributing to Buckin's Utube career.. that said the one I bought was about three times as much as an off the shelf axe/similar model... that said the one I have is my pride and joy.. you can't put a price on that...
