  1. Take it that’s not you they are referring too Mark 😜
  2. Agreed, it’s like Andy says the squeeze on those whom are trying to get on is getting disproportionately worse and worse. The Rich as we are called up here if you earn over£43k have to pay 41% plus NI so basically half your income. Bottom and Top seem to be ok but those i the middle 🤷‍♂️. I’m working with guys whom have said **************** it this year and just will not take any more trips offshore rather than work for half pay. You wouldn’t mind half as much if it tax take was not spunked in such a reckless stupid manner half the time.
  3. Rob I see 1 of the owners of companies concerned quite regularly swanning around an either a brand new Range Rover or on a good day a Maserati. The agency are on linked in waffling about how their people are so important to them etc etc. In meantime at least 1 of lads has lost his house, several are on medication and a number of relationships have suffered as a result of the stress and relentless hounding from Hmrc, throw in the covid farce and the results are not hard to foresee.
  4. Pandora papers news – live: Rishi Sunak pledges HMRC probe as leaked files reveal finances of global elite APPLE.NEWS Huge trove of secret files lays bare offshore schemes used by super-wealthy to hide their riches Somehow I don’t think young Rishi will look too hard into this nor will HMRC, myself and 47 others I work/worked with are currently nearing the end of a 3 year ass whipping based on IR35 compliance etc. Agency and companies we worked for through that agency not so much as a smack on the wrist 😡. It will always be joe average hard working half decent types that will get shafted not millionaires or former PMs.
  5. Yeah saw that last night 🤷‍♂️Some proper eye opening hypocrisy exposed in amongst all that.
  6. Eggs genuinely I’ve struggled to keep up today with whatever it is that’s bugged you. Admittedly I’ve been busy and only read and replied quickly. Anyway I guess we all have shit days and god knows I’ve hated this lockdown and restrictions shit that unfortunately we are still putting up with up here. Leave it out if you want bud, or keep chewing away at it I can do either no probs. Tomorrow is another day 👍
  7. FFS Eggs I’m not sure what’s your issue today/tonight is but I’m struggling to keep up with what the hell your point is with all of this. Covid and lockdown affected most I think but reality is we up here are still living with far more shite than anyone in England. You know my views on lockdown and restrictions since the very first day. Like I say you’ve had this argument all to your grumpy pissed off self right from the time you decided to chirp up. You not got anyone else to be a grumpy old twat with today like 🤷‍♂️. Mrs has just come off her bloody monthly pain on the arse time eggs but **************** me she’s not a patch on you. Reading back through the posts I presume you meant I didn’t like lockdown etc 🤷‍♂️That goes without saying. My comment on the lack of negative effect was directed at the series of posts you’ve fired out.
  8. Don’t like what bud !! I’m flitting in and out of this post in between finishing a days milling, it’s not having any negative effect on me at all, I posted a picture as part of some banter between me and another member, you commented on it but what or why you are getting all stressed up about is your business. You’ve got this argument all to yourself you eggs. And no your respect is neither here nor there to me, not sure if you think it should be but quite frankly after watching you have a bitch fit over bugger all I’ll not lose no sleep over it. Anyway just show my caring side I’ll post another pic, better to relax than rage 😡 not good for the old pecker later on tonight eh eggs 😜
  9. I posted a pic as part of some ongoing banter between Mark Jand myself 🤷‍♂️You made something more out of it than it actually is. Like I said eggs I neither need or want your respect you grumpy bugger. Go and work on the blade speed question 👍 or do you want Andy to call you and cheer you up 🤷‍♂️
  10. Right eggs it’s not good to be grumpy , down in England you’ve got it good compared to us in Scotland. The pic mentioned a few things did it not ? And was part of some ongoing harsh but in reality good humoured banter. Now in regards respect ?? I don’t need nor want it bud, take me as you find me 🤷‍♂️It bothers me not in the slightest. On a lighter note and maybe to help get you out of your malaise can you tell me the optimum speed in Ft/sec for a 4800mm x 38mm x 1.3mm ripper 37 blade
  11. Mark J aka citizen smith, deep down he’s a capitalist really.
  12. Right Eggs I’m not sure if you didn’t get any love or attention thrown your way over the weekend but you do seem a bit grumpy today, that post was me having a bit of banter with our resident socialist tax dodger. I’m pretty sure I never mentioned a particular political party whist posting the pic you quoted. Talking of bollocks etc etc 🤷‍♂️
  13. SNP are higher. How did everyone who’s craved covid safety think all this shit was gonna pan out eventually. Let’s face it do you think it would be better if any other party was in power ??? I very much doubt it and suspect the burden on those whom are prepared to graft would be far worse.
  14. Try living in Scotland 🙄 I don’t have a direct comms link but if I did I would no probs.
  15. Little extra for you Mark All true bud
  16. Seems it’s not just the UK having issues, speaking to a mate in Germany this morning and they are seeing rapid rises in all fuel costs and a shortage of many materials.
  17. I’d agree regards mis spent money and waste within the NHS on a scale that’s blatantly out of control.
  18. Not much austerity when it comes to NHS
  19. Mark dry your ****************ing pseudo socialist tax dodging eyes man 🥲 no going back now 😜 On a positive note I see some good things happening at Cambios, just need to start building the whole lot for the renewables and the area wil benefit massively. By the way if I had my way I’d set up a National wind energy company and look at next 20-30 years bud not next 5 or 10. Do as the Americans did under trump and lay the keels of wind farm construction vessels using the Jones act as a lever that plus already building stuff on US soil with US labour. Basically I’m all for a bit of Nationalisation of key to a countries existence industries.
  20. 😳 take it the pain killers are not working well bud 😂😂
  21. Is it not true he humped abbot whilst dragging her all over Eastern Europe on the back of an MZ 🙄. Gutted bud I thought highly of him for that. A man of steel 👍
  22. Pretty much spot on. My mother whom is sadly suffering from Dementia, not helped by the restrictions and pure bollocks we’ve had to live with for 18 months which is now thankfully just about done with south of sturgeons wall, was pre covid in hospital for virtually the first time in her life other than childbirth for an operation, She was as a young woman a nurse herself in the RAF down in Ely and commented on the sheer numbers of nurses and staff stood around doing not a lot. She also observed a good number of them being like “House ends” Mark J will get that one. Now the NHS in itself is a great thing and I’d never say anything different, how it’s gone on to be run is a different thing all together.
  23. Referendum would be nice post Brexit on the matter.
