  1. Clutching at straws, more like looking at the evidence... a 23 thousand majority has been overturned on a pro EU ticket... If all the marginal seats the Lib Dems target vote tactically for the same reasons, there might be a hung Parliament... Remember the Tories increased their majority because the English didn't want to see a Labour SDP alliance last time round.. So their majority is built on slender foundations to begin with.... If every constituency's voters who supports remain pile onto a pro remain candidate, things might look totally different when the countings done next time round... And, seeing as labour and Tory will be too scarred to fight on a pro remain ticket, their vote will be split.... theres gonna be a bloodbath I tell you...
  2. Extra care not go one handed, I was waiting by the phone aswell....
  3. 23.000 majority overturned by the Lib Dems, a plebiscite on Mays, Brexit means brexit.. Forget the courts, forget the lunatic fringe, one more result like this and Brexit is over.... And I was wondering if the remainders might vote tactical in the next election.. looks like I have my answer.. Therisa May is now caught in a vice, between her own lunatic fringe wanting her to make progress on Brexit and her other MP's now in terrors of their places come the end of the next election... No wonder a couple of leaks seeped out this week, internal polling must be showing whats gonna be on the cards in an election.. Wipeout for the Tories.....
  4. Can't say theres much there I don't agree with.. Now if we can just get back to a Euro USA plus trading alliance... everyone will be happy.. perhaps not the Mexicans, still, that'd be their problem..
  5. Seems to me the realities of the situation might just be dawning on our Donald... It might have even been explained that globalisation is really a very good idea in the long run.. What might be a better idea is Europe and America might be better off with a trade agreement betwixt the two.. Canada Australia and New Zealand might be included.. A Euro America plus trade deal.. I'm sure after a little reflection and expert opinion whispered in his ear that Trump will come to his senses and prognosticate on such great Idea once he settles in... Meanwhile back in Blighty, it might just begin to dawn on the lunatic fringe that leaving Europe is just so much trouble its just to much to be goin on with, and begin to admit the error of their ways.... Oh Boris admitting he isn't opposed to freedom of movement personally and David Davis letting it be known we might have to keep paying in to Europe after all... Is the shift being sounded out as we speak?...
  6. What a load of cobblers, what next, housing and other building stop the natural airflow in the the environment.. particulates settle on brickwork?... What a load of crap...
  7. You get to the job and hell will freeze over before your assistant gets out the van before you do....
  8. LOL its what i use when digging out stumps... only thing is after three or four swings with the axe I need a five minute rest these days.... I need to go on one of those fitness regimes like Silky fox..
  9. Sounds like a plausible explanation of his character.. not to mention, apart from the Billionaire bit, I'm tempted to say it sounds like how I think... I'm just missing the money part, now, if I could just figure that one out!!!!!!...
  10. As well as most people who's never met him... But as a keen observer of people that might matter I do take the time to study my subject matter... he's not one for letting people get the better of him.. Boris Johnson beware...
  11. I hope this Mark fella has agreed to delete his piece on one handing a chainsaw as a part of this reciprocation.... Or amend his views on the subject... perhaps a qualifier, only very qualified users aught use chainsaws one handed in controlled situations... or somethin like that, otherwise your takin a good coupla of vids down why he's out there calling all an sundry numpties for doin what you consider a perfectly legitimate practice.....
  12. Whats an hand cutter?...
  13. I think Trump will do a half decent job once he gets to know the job... Thats not to say he won't be making a fool of himself as he goes along.. the evidence is there for that so that wont be a surprise... I also see Theresa May has had a chit chat about a meeting as soon as is convenient... Knowing trump, that'll be after he's seen evidence those windfarms near his golf course are being chopped down.. she might be waiting some time!!!!... poor woman..hahahha
  14. Well havin just read the blog, how does someone like Reg not take it personally?... the fella was clearly alluding to people like Reg, "who people look up to"... he was basically calling out Reg on his attitude to one handing a chainsaw... no regards to reg's experience and and safety conscious attitude to his work... And I remember that vid, Reg was obviously winding up the health an safety Nazi's like this fella...
  15. hahaha now that was a good read.....
  16. Yea, look what I got.. see if you can nick em.... But, I'm wondering if they're for puttin the chainsaws in place after loadin up with wood or related equipment after a job... in that regards they don't seem a bad idea..
  17. damn it man, what you drinkin, I need some of it:thumbup1:
  18. Ah Well, thats better... nothing better than a good walk... as to reg coats, damn fella don't upload enough for me... Another thing, ever met our Stefan Polinkas or whats his name, you and your unstoppable determination remind me of him and his weeping with joy when his van broke down.... talk about obsessive
  19. I was wondering where Mr Fox had been over the last few days... Silky, walk to the shop, go for a ten minute run, anything but sat on your arse on a exercise machine... I don't know whats wrong with you, but you better find somethin to do instead of that soul destroyin routine you're engaged in...... And if I might add, about time you knocked that booze on the head, a waste of good money as well a good way to ruin ones health..

    Well I expected I would end up in a robust debate on the subject, what really happened is me talking about my christ myth theory why he stroked his chin and occasionally checked his watch.. I was very disappointed.... Still, the last time we had a run in he started off tryin to convince me what a rotten world we lived in... he soon stopped when I mentioned modern hospitals and free healthcare.... And he never did what I asked him to do, check out Richard Carrier, our last run in he promised to look him up and tell me what he thought, he never did...

    I do one church on my round.. but I never mention it in conversation or owt.. Well maybe I did one time when talkin to one of my Jewish clients, see if he had an opinion on the matter or see if it lead to him striking up a conversation on the merits of Judaism over Christianity... In fact the last time I did the church, I found myself arguing with the fella who runs the show... had him held up for near on an hour explaining how all his beliefs were all made up nonesense... Not so sure if I'll be doin it next year:blushing:

    doin a good job is what matters, church or otherwise.... If your asking if its worth bragging about though, I can't see it though it might give potential customers confidence you ain't no scam artist... In that respects, it might be a good idea to drop it in a conversation when dealing with new customers...
  24. My thoughts on the subject... Banks and housing, ex 3.5% of income to buy a house turned to 4 then five and even more in the modern age.. Why?.. because these shysters figured that the more money a house was worth, the more banks had on their balance sheet.. Which is to say, the financial services industry welcomes house price inflation, it makes em look like they have more in the bank increasing their stock... more to pay bonus's an stuff like that... Now the real interesting point of the thread, why do people feel worse off when they might well be better off all things considered... Simple, a scientific study found that people who have many choices to make are less happy than people with only one choice... Thus, the simpler the life, the happier one is.... If someone has to make a choice out of five things to do/get, then after making said choice they are then haunted by the fear they might have made the wrong choice after all.... thus their lives might be made miserable... Now if you want to make your life a happier affair all round, then its better to keep things simple and only get what you need..
