Well hopefully coming sense plays a part in getting children back to school. Strange to see MSM now swinging to reporting why kids can’t go back and actually reporting the absolutely minimal risk rather than full on scaremongering. If vaccines are what it takes then teachers should be a priority.

I see one of Lee Rigby’s Killers is in hospital poorly with Covid. What a waste of NHS time and money. Hopefully justice will be done.

A route to normality or the birth of a two-tier country? Debate grows as vaccine ID cards appear ever likelier APPLE.NEWS Access to restaurants, public transport and council services among things that could be... Sign of things to come !!. Little bit of MSM coverage, no outrage or complaints by anyone and before you know it it’s policy or worse still law. We seem now 12 months into this to be under more and more and more guidance/laws as every week passes. Blaming noncompliance by individuals has long since lost any credibility.

Ok cheers Up in Aberdeenshire 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🙄.

Where’s the site ?

Great place you’ve got Andy for kids at that age bud. Precious moments 👍

If only 🤷‍♂️ I know one guy who’s house is gone and several others whom are on rock bottom. Hmrc are showing zero interest in the past years events. But the facts you quote is what I’m hearing from this sector ie we’ve been flat out. Me personally I’ve had zero in the way of grants etc. Like a lot of self employed i fit outdide most of the eligibility parameters, not through dodgy dividend schemes etc I might add.

True Mark but in reality many people have had zero choice but to borrow to try and save businesses. I think talking to individuals within the industry the Arb/tree/forestry game has got through this reasonably if not very well, many others have been utterly destroyed by the adoption of lockdown and it’s subsequent effects as the only way to tackle this.

Cracking set up. For 17yrs old Ben it looks like you are doing just fine as is bud 👍.

Been nice to be able to mill some of those.

Nope 17/21 it was, death or glory skull and crossbones and all that. 1 squadron only was on Cyprus, still using ferrets and Saladins at the time, I think the remainder of the regiment was undergoing conversion to challenger 1. Various armoured regiments provided a squadron on 2yr rotation as resident armoured etc, resident infantry battalion was on the same 2 yr rotation.

Lol no wonder you kicked back at being referred to as Cropper, Small world indeed, you weren’t in Cyprus in the 80s as resident armoured squadron at Epi by any chance were you ??. You guys had a breech let go I think on a Saladin during that tour. My regiment had a 4 tonner come off the road from troodos. Did my motorcycle test under the auspices of 17/21 instructors in a scheme put in place after a trooper called pepe lost his legs in a motorcycle crash.

Five ways the lockdown could be made even tougher as coronavirus rips through UK APPLE.NEWS Some experts have called for lockdown measures to be made stricter such as face masks being... Curfews and 1 hr exercise limits !!!. how about making the Vaccine rollout a 24hr a day 7 day a week UK wide operation instead, rather than bringing in even more draconian and destructive controls.

Yep numerous Harold steptoe types getting excited at woman’s chainsaw trousers, you know who you are 🙄🙄

Shotgun cert for all them crows at yours 👍👍

Bit of razor wire for the top Andy 👍👍

Nice dry day for a change in Aberdeenshire, steady away with the 880 on some Elm. COVID friendly socially distanced by miles solo milling. More chance of carbon monoxide poisoning getting me today as not a breath of wind,

👍

Harsh but true 🤷‍♂️

Steve is right I’m afraid Cropper and yourself seem to have taken this to heart big time, draw a line under it you have your opinion I have mine keys leave it that.

That was from the last post I’ve just put up, am I not allowed to ask for an explanation when I’ve been accused of saying something I blatantly did not. Same as if you are called stupid or the word clown is thrown in to the mix, if you have to resort to insults then who in reality is the stupid one ??. The comments ref select club lol, it’s not as exclusive as you think.

This is your favoured tactic which we have covered many times before ie keep asking for explanations and throwing in a a load of questions. My news sources are variable. Without wasting my morning in this Big J has written on several occasions about targeting the protective measure at the vulnerable and at risk groups etc it’s that form of action I think should be taken. To put it another way tell me why you think Lockdowns are the only answer. Bearing in mind the other fallout they cause.

The exact quote by mr cropper was who the **************** do you think you are, for which I’m still waiting for him to give me the explanation of where I said the things he reacted too, let’s not argue ****************s here and ****************s there his outburst was out of line. You seem to like the word stupid along with clown which somewhat backfired a bit. Not sure if this is a word you use often at people whom have a different view to you but there are several on here and many more outside of the forum that totally disagree with the lockdown method of dealing with this. Does it reduce infections on a temp basis yes of course it does but at what overall social, economic, health both mental and physical cost and is it sustainable, and invariably the rollercoaster starts again as soon as the lockdown ends. the talk of a 3rd national lockdown would say that the previous 2 have not been enough, Wales has had this lockdown medicine more than anywhere in UK and what has it achieved??. A year into this and we are still being fed the same line to justify it. Andy for example quotes Norway it has had a totally different approach as have others,does that make them stupid !!. By the way take a look at UK government statistics for average life span, average covid death age and where we are numbers wise for deaths this year/winter as opposed to the previous twenty you might be very surprised. Although it may not suit the narrative you subscribe too. End of the day as I’ve stated full on debate is fine but whilst I don’t give a flying **************** in reality about you or mr cropper and what you think, you both hit the keyboard buttons hard yesterday based upon nothing more than me having a different opinion to you both.

No you didn’t you chipped in as we often disagree, you saw the opportunity and threw a few quips in 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️no problem with that it’s an open forum at the end of the day. Lively, passionate and at times aggressive debate and opinions are what it should be about. Not much fun or validity on a forum where everyone agrees. Things get taken to another level when you are told to go **************** yourself for no good reason or are referred to as stupid or a clown based upon your opinions. Seemed like a few jumped in and passed comment without actually reading what I did and didn’t say. Mr Cropper has been asked numerous times to back up the comments in his outburst but alas he has apparently very conveniently spoke his last word on the matter. Regarding the stupid and clown comments I’m sure the penny has dropped by now 😆🤡🤡. Water off a ducks back bud I learnt a long time ago not to worry too much about other people’s opinions in particular when it’s people whom I’ve never met and even more so when those opinions are punched out from behind the safety of a keypad.

I don’t know you well enough to use first names, When you start throwing insults online the term generally used is keyboard warrior. I’d have much preferred the last word to be an explanation and to show me where I said the things you accused me of earlier on today when you asked me who the **************** I thought I was 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I’ve asked several times yet you fail to show me where it is these comments are written. It’s not much to ask bearing in mind the vitriol you spat out earlier and what others now seem to be throwing about.
