Very very poor and quite frankly ignorant reply, why on earth would I lie about the make up of a project team. The 3 x 3.4 inspection coordinators I quoted ie Vijay (Indian) Ahmed (Egyptian) and George (Nigerian) would be in hysterics at me asking to have a selfie to prove that I’m not some racist intolerant bigot. We don’t tend to get massive group pics with ID on to indicate race and religion. So in your eyes if I think something is politically correct to the point of ridiculousness then I have an issue ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️If that’s the case millions of everyday working class people the UK have an issue With ludicrous ott pc and that includes many different races not just white. Ps Next time a client forks out the tens of thousands of pounds required to mobilise a crew and cover flights and quarantine/testing etc I’ll take a pic of the crew list and post it in the meantime you will just have to cling to the shred of hope that I’m lying.

When have I said that what’s on TV annoys me ?? It’s ott Political correctness that was I believe the subject matter. Once again you mention my non tree type income source. I’d say that you are borderline discriminatory here. Diluted the forum ? there are several other parts of the forum you can use that are exclusively Arb related ???. You do see the irony of the points you are making about people’s opinions and then non Arb types etc etc I hope. Right wing ??? not sure where you get that from.

What are these apparent views that I can’t share in public ???? My views are the same views I had in 2000,2010,2020 ?‍♂️ Whom have i offended ???. What racist or homophobic remark have I made ???. This ott political correctness you eloquently promote is what I disagree with. I’ve stated my case based upon my life experiences and what I feel about the tolerance of the UK and what my own work environment allows me to see in regards to different races and nationalities. I’d bet my last pound that on a day to day basis I come into contact with a greater variety of cultures and nationalities than either yourself or pepper pot. If I was this offensive intolerant individual you allude to I’d be out of a job in days. I can line up in front of you from my last project Black Nigerian. Egyptian Muslim, Indian Sikh and a mixture of European and Scandinavian guys and you can ask any of them If I am offensive !!! I think you will be laughed off the deck. Ps if you want a disagreement on your views I’ll ask a few of the Eastern European engine room guys to have a chat.

? lol ok I’ll take that on board about being boring, can you even say that nowadays ?. I’m easily offended am ??. Have you even read any of the previous posts. Your soulmate is the one whom seems to want to repeat the rhetoric and analyse the hell out of everything that comes back his way. One of the best guys on my team is openly gay and a long time mate, I’d happily show him this to see his reaction to your comments, several are from different ethnic backgrounds and again good mates so I’d say your argument is flawed to say the least and total utter bollocks in reality. My position will remain consistent on a subject especially ludicrous political correctness, not sure what’s wrong with that. I’ve not claimed everyone’s posts are that at all have I now?? I commented on 1 that not just me found a tad gibberish. Regarding the comments on rig talk now that is a bit tedious, myself like a few others on here do not obtain the main portion of their income from Tree work, my own interest/sideline as I’ve said openly is milling, so in your eyes unless you are dangling off a single line with a top handled chainsaw you should not be here !!!.

You proved absolutely nothing as far as I can see. I commented on that absolute garble of a post No more no less ?‍♂️, you seem to be easily offended or somehow in woke world manage to twist stuff around to fit your narrative. I’m starting to think you have and do lead a very sheltered/cosseted existence. No manhole covers on the roads or blackboards in the classroom etc etc.

Jesus I thought it was only me. That last post was an absolute belter. I’m now referring youngstu to the campaign for plain English. You said I said therefore in summary I said you answered to the question referred to in the answer in the previous post ?????????

Now now young Stu there is not one insult in that post read it again and see. I did not throw scorn on your sexual prowess perceived or otherwise ?‍♂️I just said I’d rather do something different first thing in the morning. What is diversity ?? That the crowd whom were on Britain’s got talent ?. Im maybe not as old as you perceive youngstu, probs seen a lot more of people the world and human nature than you think. Good and bad black and white there is both on each side I can assure you. I don’t need lecturing on PC etc etc which I’m afraid is what you do. You package it up in well written long posts but break it down to the basics and it’s not hard to see what it really is. Right Stu I’m off out now with a moderated 223 to partake of some pest control, predominantly carried out by white straight males whom give a shit about the countryside ??. I’ll be around later. lighten up a bit man all this angst and woke in you is not healthy.

As I predicted a full on ultra woke PC reply. Seriously bud give yourself a shake or read back over some of the stuff you preach. Regarding use of time in the morning if the mrs won’t play ball I’d rather have a cup of tea, ( White 1 ) and a slice of toast, only lightly done of course not too brown eh ?, than waffle on about misinterpretation, rights or wrongs of advertising and it’s supposed effects on target audiences by putting interracial lesbian couples on TV blah blah Jokes aside you don’t half live in PC land. Me thinks you take yourself and your beige beliefs too seriously.

Don’t be such a wet blanket.

What problems ??? Tell me what is wrong with being white and straight ???. Does this not represent the vast majority of what we as a country are ?? I’m lining myself up for yet another long long PC broadcast but hey ho. You might want to take a look at other countries around the world, possibly try spending some time in them. You will find the UK is a very very tolerant society with none of the overt racism you find often between cultures around the world. Many non white I may add.

Not sure if too much time K my normal working day depending on which shift is approx 13-14-hrs 7 days a week for however long the project lasts.

I simply don't have the time or inclination to commence the length of reply required to engage you on the subject. Possibly in fact probably I’m guilty of a degree of utter contempt for the blatant Political correctness you promote.

You’d have been better off spending the time you spent writing this first thing this morning on doing something productive like giving the mrs some half term morning attention. You are trying to be as PC as it’s possible to be. I’m no bully it’s just the long long dialogues you spout are excruciating. You are so so wrong in many regards. On a day to day basis I work with a multitude of nationalities, I’ve worked in the Middle and Far East, Africa and throughout Europe etc. There are good and bad everywhere I can assure you. I’m not racist in any way shape or form, What does my head in is blatant ott Political correctness to the point of stupidity. The dig at people being on here whom have an income source other than tree work etc has been tried before. I’m happy to say I don’t do tree work, I mill and take a great deal of satisfaction from making sure good timber is used rather than burnt or left to rot.

This is exactly the same scenario as last time I got into some semblance of a debate with yourself. You ask question after question after question and want explanation after explanation etc etc. Like I say PC drivel of the highest order. There are far more important things to worry about. Andy is right the worst thing is to react in the first place. I’ll do a bit of research and try and find an emoji or something to represent chronic PC,Woke,Beige sickness ??.

Pure and utter PC drivel of the highest highest order.

Cheers Mike Crazy thing is due to current madness we were quarantined on the vessel and not allowed any shore leave. I’m not a bunker nerd ? but do find the history of it all interesting.

???????? learned very quickly that debating with the likes of yourself is utterly pointless. You yearn for the beige utopia that you imagine could exist. Myself no thanks.

?????? if I had an emoji for verbal diarrhoea you be getting it.

Boat I was on recently spent a few days moored at what looked like an old fuelling berth on Askoy??, defo looked WW2 type shuttering marks on the concrete. Seen the same in Channel Islands on old German bunkers.

????

Loads around the coast and onshore all over Europe K. lot of money being made clearing the cable routes and actual piling/ jack up leg locations etc etc of any potential UXO hazards for wind farms. Im not an ex clearance guy but I’ve done a few approaches to confirm targets in poor viz with a hand held magnetometer and I’ll be honest it does make your arse twitch a bit. Most turned out to be scrap but 1 was a 250KG WW2 German jobbie out in Liverpool bay.

Not a bandsaw but any good ??

? Cracking looking stove. Mind you no posing next to it with the old undercrackers on eh. Saying that Les seems to like a pic of a man in tights lol

Sunny ☀️ Andy ?‍♂️?‍♂️ pissed down on and off all day up here bud. Gave up trying to get anything done at teatime and succumbed to a decent takeaway. How’s the fire coming along ?.

I worked on the new forth crossing doing some of the subsea stuff for the main legs, Chinese steel throughout and upon UK spec NDT standards being implemented post installation a resultant pile of defects that necessitated the gouging out and rewelding of numerous defective joints. Shit government Shit management and zero vision for the future apart from next years balance sheet, share price and dividend ?
