  1. I do know the answer to that, Nuclear weapons are a deterrent.. That means they exist to deter. No one with a brain ever expects them to be used... If on the other hand nuclear weapons ever get used, its pointless asking any of our leaders what they'd do as we couldn't fire them without the say so of an American administration... Again, whats the point of asking Diane Abbott a question like that unless your an absolute moron..
  2. There's more chance of hell freezing over than her being in government in a few weeks.. Which begs the question why does Piers Morgan insist on asking such a dumb question?. he's as thick as she is useless..
  3. A good wind or, a sunny day should sort out wet logs.. which begs the question why have a building at all?.. I'd build a shed for my gear, and leave the logs outside.. tarp sheet if you must keep rain off the tops of logs... Mind, speaking as a one man band here, not much use for a building to house tons of anything never mind logs..
  4. could of done with one these a couple of months back, then again maybe not!!.. I did a post an rail fence for one of my customers, not so much a case of digging out as mining out a hole every half hr..
  5. Is he saying that to assuage Le Pens constituents or is he speaking from conviction?.. If from conviction and he means what he says, then perhaps he might become an ally during brexit talks.. If he's talking about it to steal Le Pens thunder, then you'll know as soon as Brexit talks begin and the French side with Merkel.. No matter his motives, he is right. without Europe taking border security seriously, Europe wont last another ten years...
  6. And, there's something wrong with that?..
  7. If I ever meet him, I'll be sure to recommend a stihl strimmer for tidying up round those wheels on his brand new shed..
  8. Best labour leader of all time.. he made three mistakes in my eyes. One, listening to Bill Clinton about getting on Bush's shirt tails. Two, should of demanded a post war strategy from Bush on Iraq, and three, should never of resigned as leader.. Might of sacked Gordon Brown as well as a bonus.. that man was next to useless as a leader.. not bad as a chancellor though.. Now if Blair would of listened to me, we wouldn't be were we are today.. in a bit of a mess...
  9. Less is more springs to mind...
  10. That sheep looks like its afraid of something!!!.. Is that Lamb your's Mull?..
  11. Now that was funny Billhook, that was mighty funny.. He wondered about Sally's front porch as he wrote down those lines.. No I didn't...
  12. There was field adjoining our smallholding, well it was part of our smallholding, sold to the gypsies for which they were forever grateful.. Soon enough there was a caravan park on it, but some years later they lost their appeal and they left an sold up.. The field was bought by my sister for her horses, pretty soon the site was turned into a stable yard, with adjoining field.. and soon after her son decided it would make a perfect site to do his wheeling and dealing, selling his scrap, or second hand cars.. Looked like a scrapyard more than a stable yard.. the council came down, complained and made him change his ways.. Which he did For a time anyways... He gets a bit of grief here and there but mostly he just plows on regardless, I don't know how he does it.. I think the councils given up on him, as his car business has grown, with even more cars on site, he does tidy up here and there.. but I don't think he gets much grief from the council no more.. The moral of the story is, buy your patch of land, and do what you want, the council will give up before you do if your determined.. Least ways it seems that way to me..
  13. I've a transit drop side myself, but not to worried about someone, "getting in".. given the state its in, they'd more than likely spend half hr tidying it up as nick whats in it..
  14. Oh that, I did read a piece about that this morning, "we'll go into Syria if America wants us to".. which is odd seein as it wasn't to long ago he was saying we should leave Assad to it... Funny how once in government he changes his tune on these things.. Saudi dangling baubles in front of his eyes.. Or perhaps a threat, give us Syria or we'll cut oil production to the bone?.. those jets we just ordered we might delay buying.. Perhaps a few threats of our own, leave the Syrians to it or we'll take a look at mending fences with Iran. which is what we should of done a long time ago..
  15. I don't watch the news, I watch commentary on the news on Utube.. I do read google news, in that regards his sister might run as a Lib Dem, and Boris called Corbyn a Mugwump at some point, can't say I see that as worthy of getting any attention..
  16. Can't say I've seen much coverage of him, whats he bin up to then?..
  17. [ame] [/ame] :thumbup1:
  18. you might want to contact this fella.. seems to know his stuff when it comes to Yetis.. [ame] [/ame]
  19. I rather fancy myself as Maximus... if we're goin down that road that is!!..
  20. Love to come to the Arb show fella but unfortunately I'm busy catching up with odd jobs that need doing... maybe next year I might make the effort, maybe not!!, depends how far away it is.. yes, a chit chat over a cup of tea sounds lovely.. be nice to bump into a couple of people from arbtalk, I've grown quite found of one or two em..
  21. The scumbag is someone making a fella who didn't know any different take em back 200 yards just to stick the knife in... If it was me, I'd maybe take em back if I was asked politely, but if If some idiot demanded I take em back.. I'd be weighing up which side of his jaw he was going to get whacked on...
  22. Well catchin the fella is one thing, makin the poor sod take em all the way back is just petty.. and, if I had logs lying around and someone took on the mistaken assumption they were just lying around doin nothin but rotten down, I'd just explain the situation and ask the fella to leave em... more than likely tell him he could have the ones he's loaded seeing as it wasn't obvious they were mine, seeing as I hadn't clearly marked em out as not to be taken... lets have it right. they're just a boot full of old logs.. its not like you caught the fella brakin in a shed...
  23. If the logs are lying around and have been for a number of years, and access isn't to bad, I'd just chance it and take em.. You've searched for the ownership of the land, what more can you do?..and I take it there isn't a sign saying to keep off the logs.. PS, if you do happen to get a few logs, and you're stopped on the way out, and the owner wants you to take em back to the exact spot you picked em up from.. `be prepared to shove them up the fella's arse..
  24. Errm now to the Sun.. Mrs May is working on a hit list of Cabinet members she plans to ditch or move. Justice Secretary Liz Truss and Communities Secretary Sajid Javid are in the firing line, according to well-placed sources. A landslide victory on June 8 could sweep away bigger beasts — astonishingly, even Boris Johnson. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3392167/mps-fear-theresa-may-planning-landslide-cabinet-shake-up-if-conservatives-win-big-in-general-election/
