  1. Yeah they are out and about for sure, Need Big J to throw some Teutonic light and translation from the German sites on this.
  2. ?? In one vertical up and down pass ?
  3. Lol I’m sure you will get good use out of it. Don’t let the virus thing stop you Callum, common sense can see you through most of this current chaos, did you get those beams sorted ??
  4. I’d maybe get the OD and wall thickness etc of the component and see if I could get pipe or stock to match then poss groove it out to suit. For £200 I’d defo give it a whirl, chances are if done right it will probably be an improvement on the original.
  5. Could you not pop to a local machinist or do you know anyone whom could make those out of brass or something similar?? you got a pic of the whole assembly ??
  6. So what do you want or suggest ??
  7. Trouble making twats ??? Is that how you see all of them is it ??
  8. Police do indeed do a good job but other than that the comments are just rubbish and that’s not how I see it on the video, the officer involved in the incident with the woman in question clearly goes to town on her. Compare this with the softly softly BLM approach????
  9. Did tours of NI in the eighties and experienced far greater provocation on riot duty than I saw on what little media coverage there was, what none of us ever did was resort to throwing old women to the floor. If you think that’s the way that British police should behave you are totally deluded. The fact that most people at that protest were just normal hard working decent people whom are starting to realise this virus bullshit has gone way way too far did not get so much as a sniff of media attention.
  10. Cheers for that I’ll try and maybe get a spare set just to have as back up. The rear one has a few marks on it but cut fine on a 4 inch oak piece. Do you know of a link to a manual anywhere on line ??.
  11. Cheers, you got an image of the bearing you are on about ??
  12. Managed to pick that up which should do the job. Bid on that for a while but baled at £655
  13. Got a large makita circular myself and to be honest it’s not a tool I enjoy using. I’m not a small guy but when it kicks or the blades nips you definitely want to be holding onto it. I’ve seen some of the Americans guys on you tube using huge versions whilst timber framing, rather them than me.
  14. Well you have to ask why the police did not respond so efficiently to the BLM protests a few weeks back compared to the way they handled the protests today in London ?‍♂️?‍♂️
  15. What’s your thoughts on the whole vaccine process J. Needless to say the profits involved are gonna be off the scale, but the process normally takes years to be done safely.
  16. J I’ve just sat and watched the Welsh health minister on BBC 1 justifying the new restrictions in parts of Wales. His argument in favour was partly based upon the fact that an area locked down two weeks ago has seen cases drop ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️No shit of course if you keep everyone inside, destroy business activity, restrict movement and human interaction plus the other results we see from lockdown restrictions then rates of transmission will drop!!!. The question no one asked him was what do you do after the latest series of lockdown ??. Are we destined to follow a ludicrous rollercoaster of lockdown open lockdown open until the idiots try and look at this for what it really is ie a virus that has a minimal affect on the overwhelming majority that catch it. I wonder how many of the politicians or scientists making these decisions have suffered financially or seen a business fail, default on a mortgage etc over the past 6 months, I’d hazard a guess and say it’s probably zero.
  17. Lol well I’m no fan of HMRC and I’m currently being hammered due to the IR35 bollocks but my own view is I’d happily support a say 20-25% rate across the board for all once over the tax free allowance, you work hard you earn more, not as we have now where you are penalised if you succeed.
  18. I’d say most on here are hard working, independently minded, decent enough types whom are happy to stand on there own two feet, pay a bit of tax and generally do the right thing etc etc. Is that more right than left ??‍♂️?‍♂️
  19. Looks like you are not alone J. I get the feeling that the powers that be may well have an understanding of the fact that they got this wrong big time, but don’t have the courage or decency to change direction. Probably more likely as a result of face saving and self preservation than anything else.
  20. Then you are a foolish man of that there is little doubt.
  21. Thanks Mark although It wasn’t difficult in reality ?‍♂️
  22. I bet you can empty a bar quicker than the 10pm curfew.
  23. I go to this part of the forum to generally lighten up the day, not to see you playing out your anti tory obsession.
