  1. Modern politics!!!’ has it ever been any different J
  2. Easy Mark I get the impression you probs made a mess of your favourite red underpants the state of excitement you got into reading then posting that one ??
  3. Probs around first week of June all being well ?
  4. Yeah Hotel for a period first Andy then join vessel, tested upon arrival and at end of quarantine if you pass you go to work if not you are goosed ?‍♂️, slightly tighter controls than poss fixed installations but with nature of what we do it’s impossible to work with social distancing etc. Two reserve guys for the team and one reserve supv also in hotel in the event anyone tests positive, that would be a kick in the stones for sure.
  5. Yeah maybe so but as we know it’s that London elite bollocks do as I say not as I do. Doesn’t matter which bunch are in it’s the same, think back to that sleazy dodgy bugger Mandleson or Campbell from last labour government ?‍♂️?‍♂️Tory Labour etc etc not much difference in regards the moral compass once in power. Hopefully going into quarantine myself around 9th June then up to Foinaven fingers crossed, trips seriously needed as the money worries are kicking in big time.
  6. Quite frankly Andy who gives a shit full on media hype bullshit tomorrow it will be someone else’s turn to be on the receiving end of the sanctimonious rubbish spouted by way too many people. Oh to be perfect. As for that shit about him putting that guys life in danger ?‍♂️?‍♂️Get a fucking grip Mr Hughes.
  7. Keyboard warrior of the highest order.
  8. Just finished the sun morn political shows and apart from the media hype regarding Dom and his travel plans etc which quite frankly no one gives a shit about, the overriding impression I got was of politicians trying to convince us that we must do as we are told due to the ongoing public heath crisis ?‍♂️. The facts and figures though do not now justify the current measures especially in Scotland which has apparently now got one of Europe’s longest lockdowns. The economic and financial crisis seems to be totally Irrelevant to the devolved Scottish government.
  9. That’s a proper bit of kit but way way overpriced at 35K
  10. Kier Starmer and the London Labour elite ? word is they love a bit of bagel ? action. Abbot apparently could hammer through a rake of them per day.
  11. 100% Agree Scotland is the same, I think the only ones whom believe an effective lockdown is in place are the politicians. only thing they are achieving now is economic ruin.
  12. Ian Blackford ? I see he is demanding yet another resignation. One of the worst examples of a whining Hand wringing politician.
  13. Somebody is always whinging or demanding action for something it seems.
  14. Lockdown is all well and good but when the consequences of that starts to outweigh those of the thing it’s supposed to be helping defeat ?‍♂️?‍♂️ Scotland’s lockdowns policy is more driven by SNP attitude to Westminster than any science. The lockdown in effect up here is non existent and prolonging it is doing nothing but cause untold financial and mental hardships.
  15. Visqueen will do the trick the corners are easy to sort , if it’s not tidy at end of job put a timber border around it . It’s easy to overthink all this. Keep it simple ?
  16. Looks like you have the same bullshit in place as Scotland All evidence points to open spaces being the safest. In reality I’m starting to basically ignore Sturgeon and her control freak guidance. Common sense and taking precautions goes a long way.
  17. The benefit/negative ?‍♂️?‍♂️of a global media and the internet is that it allows the armchair experts to pass their opinions. The daily microscopic dissection of every single move governments are making driven in no small way by media hype is tiring to say the least. Meanwhile up here in Scotland we tiptoe at a snails pace Governed by saint Nicola of the lectern to some form of easing of the totally in ineffective lockdown. Scotland the brave ?????? Brave as long as the enemy in Westminster picks up the tab of course.
  18. No it was a totally different report with a sky reporter observing this from a fishing boat. Virtually identical scenario though. Problem is with Farage all that happens is people use the racism card, but he’s right what’s happening is a total disgrace that someone somewhere should be held accountable for.
  19. For now but you know Nicolas views on immigration in Scotland
  20. Watching a sky news report just now of them witnessing a French patrol boat escorting illegal immigrants to the border point mid channel to then be picked up by UK border force and brought back here. WTF is going on down there on a daily basis ????. French authorities are obviously happy for them to cross unimpeded or even with tacit assistance.
  21. The frontline staff did what they are paid to do and did it very well. The mass media stoked adulation inc the Thursday night thing is possibly a bit ott but that’s just my opinion. Problem now is that especially in the devolved parliaments how to deal with this has become a political game. The NHS is not in need of protecting anymore, the stay at home in Scotland message is a total joke when you look at the figures and what is actually happening in real time outside around the country. There is no bloody lockdown and never was.
  22. Andy is well known on here, Ive been to his place as he helped me out with some Oak pieces. You are safe passing the address to him for sure. A free axe is decent offer.
  23. Today’s brief by her was a total and utter insult to people’s intelligence Andy. The patronising rubbish that was coming out of her mouth was disgusting, worse still was none of the questions by the media representatives contained anything that even remotely held her to account.
  24. As much as I understand the desire to protect people I truly do not think she neither realises or cares about the damage this is doing to people’s economic and mental wellbeing, I know from my own experience that the financial stress is starting to take its toll and that my kids are desperate to get back to school.
  25. Currently listening to Sturgeon giving her daily propaganda talk. I’m more than ever convinced that she is totally deluded in regards the value of the drastic measures being taken versus the actual reality of the worries for most working class people in particular small business and self employed wondering where this is all going. Protect the NHS she keeps saying. Hospitals other than Covid 19 units are virtually deserted intensive care usage in Scotland less than 20% of capacity ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️ Tbe desire to hang onto the power and control this gives her is blatant.
