  1. Blue View type Sonar is great kit but has to be literally pointed in the right direction. Hopefully it’s the lady concerned and it can be dealt with for the families sake, will we ever know all the details of how she got into the river( if it turns out to be her) 🤷‍♂️Who knows.
  2. Searching for anything in zero viz is not easy I’ve found from 30 plus years of experience in the diving game, a body stuck under branches or if it was still mobile, it could easily evade detection until it’s eventually gassed up and floated then been spotted by a member of the public. Id not be critical of the guys doing a finger tip zero viz search along a Jack stay on a muddy river bed as much as I would be of the whole police way of dealing with the publicity side of it and the media. Mind you everyone’s a bloody expert nowadays at everything.
  3. Nicola Sturgeon’s dreamland is over – Scotland faces a painful reckoning APPLE.NEWS The SNP’s stewardship of its country has been near catastrophic Worth a read for a few members on here who previously have expressed admiration and a desire to move to the Sturgeon zone.
  4. Sunak’s call to arms: We must bolster Ukraine’s forces now APPLE.NEWS ‘We’ve got to be able to provide Ukraine with the means to fight back’ He maybe should look at the degraded state of our own forces as a result of successive incompetent governments of all colours. Politicians 🤮🤮
  5. It would seem so 👍
  6. No Probs Most of GL guys are away for the weekend but we will be down on Pier. Guess you saw it stacked in pen area ??, there’s a few more up in slaughterhouse car park too.
  7. There’s nothing in there that appeals to me 😂
  8. Well there’s a few bits coming out that might be up for grabs on the work at Lochmaddy pier, I’ve put a few of the longer bits aside already those in pic are off the surface measuring 300x350mm. I’d make sure your pals Alaskan has a winch for the sake of your back. I’ve had a wander around the woods you mention on a quiet Sunday.
  9. Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Failure, chose grievance politics over working hard to improve people's lives – Brian Wilson APPLE.NEWS In the end, Nicola Sturgeon got one thing right. It was time for her to go. Once the ritual obsequies have... Very well written article that sums up the reality of living in Scotland under the SNP/Sturgeon government, for those who look north and admire her read the article carefully, Scotland is better off without her without a shadow of a doubt.
  10. Just seen it too 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Please let it be so. A disgusting racist divisive women who has done nothing good for Scotland or the UK, looks like her transgender stupidity and a few other as of yet to be in the news issues have pushed her to jump. No doubt a cushy EU job aka Kinnock will be on the cards.
  11. ‘HMRC must stop this tax crackdown pushing people to take their own lives’ APPLE.NEWS The controversial loan charge is the worst legislation ever introduced by Parliament Heartless bullying incompetents, a law unto themselves who are never wrong in my experience, I’ve mentioned my own dealings on here before and know 3 families who lost their homes because of the mess we were left in by the agency and employers etc. Both agency ( Jab Recruitment Ltd) concerned and the employer walked away scot free whilst Hmrc decided to chase the individual workers (48)one by one in our case.
  12. Peter Mandleson 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮always sniffing around the edges like his pal Blair 😡****************ing vermin
  13. That’s little plantation I mentioned earlier, but if it’s windblown but the remainder is hanging on in there. Most of it could be milled with a 180.
  14. Rishi playing at top gun with zelensky didn’t quite work out.
  15. Well wind up or not it won’t be me trying to mill it, no response from the op and currently onboard the ferry to lochmaddy, with the 880 safely tucked away at home.
  16. In that transgender madhouse Scotland that wolf can indeed identify as a grandmother
  17. Trans butcher charged after 11-year-old girl’s disappearance sparked major police search WWW.THESCOTTISHSUN.CO.UK A TRANS butcher has been charged over an 11-year-old girl’s disappearance.Andrew Miller, 53... Another one Sturgeon will struggle to name as a man.
  18. Maybe I’m too trusting 🤷‍♂️That thought never crossed my mind. I know my big Makita circular will do most things and I’m sure Andy has a 300mm or bigger blade model which I guess could do the job 🤷‍♂️Who knows.
  19. Cheers for the info, any idea on sharpening protocols with the tips and availability for an 880.
  20. Self employed so yeah it’s out of my pocket 👍
  21. Not many trees near where I’m working Les I think the bloody wind sees to that. I always thought Greenheart was imported !!. there is an experimental plantation I think that says something on a sign abut seeing if it would cope with wind etc ( I’ll take a pic and post it if I’m up there again)
  22. Yeah it’s shit Les Best few days weather we’ve had up here for a while and I’m off to work on Thursday too 🤮, just replied to the guy with the greenheart, not sure what Island he’s on but you never know might be able to help and throw the 880 in the pick up.
  23. I’m home at min but back up in Lochmaddy from Thursday onwards ( weather and ferry permitting) and can-easy take a look, it’s a bastard to mill and the dust is not good for you, is the timber off old piers etc ??. PM me as ive a decent 880 and Alaskan set up as well as the Trakmet mobile saw but that would be a bit of hassle to get over 😂 Shame as the stellite tipped blades do cope ok with it. .
  24. O2 Provision/Admin and a first aid refresher, worthwhile I know and need to keep it in date but I hate the classroom Andy especially when weathers good.
  25. Lucky you bud, been a cracking few days weather wise and I’m stuck in a bloody classroom on a course 🤮🤷‍♂️.
