Did tours of NI in the eighties and experienced far greater provocation on riot duty than I saw on what little media coverage there was, what none of us ever did was resort to throwing old women to the floor. If you think that’s the way that British police should behave you are totally deluded. The fact that most people at that protest were just normal hard working decent people whom are starting to realise this virus bullshit has gone way way too far did not get so much as a sniff of media attention.

Cheers for that I’ll try and maybe get a spare set just to have as back up. The rear one has a few marks on it but cut fine on a 4 inch oak piece. Do you know of a link to a manual anywhere on line ??.

Cheers, you got an image of the bearing you are on about ??

Managed to pick that up which should do the job. Bid on that for a while but baled at £655

Got a large makita circular myself and to be honest it’s not a tool I enjoy using. I’m not a small guy but when it kicks or the blades nips you definitely want to be holding onto it. I’ve seen some of the Americans guys on you tube using huge versions whilst timber framing, rather them than me.

Well you have to ask why the police did not respond so efficiently to the BLM protests a few weeks back compared to the way they handled the protests today in London ?♂️?♂️

What’s your thoughts on the whole vaccine process J. Needless to say the profits involved are gonna be off the scale, but the process normally takes years to be done safely.

J I’ve just sat and watched the Welsh health minister on BBC 1 justifying the new restrictions in parts of Wales. His argument in favour was partly based upon the fact that an area locked down two weeks ago has seen cases drop ?♂️?♂️?♂️No shit of course if you keep everyone inside, destroy business activity, restrict movement and human interaction plus the other results we see from lockdown restrictions then rates of transmission will drop!!!. The question no one asked him was what do you do after the latest series of lockdown ??. Are we destined to follow a ludicrous rollercoaster of lockdown open lockdown open until the idiots try and look at this for what it really is ie a virus that has a minimal affect on the overwhelming majority that catch it. I wonder how many of the politicians or scientists making these decisions have suffered financially or seen a business fail, default on a mortgage etc over the past 6 months, I’d hazard a guess and say it’s probably zero.

Lol well I’m no fan of HMRC and I’m currently being hammered due to the IR35 bollocks but my own view is I’d happily support a say 20-25% rate across the board for all once over the tax free allowance, you work hard you earn more, not as we have now where you are penalised if you succeed.
-
I’d say most on here are hard working, independently minded, decent enough types whom are happy to stand on there own two feet, pay a bit of tax and generally do the right thing etc etc. Is that more right than left ??♂️?♂️
-
Looks like you are not alone J. I get the feeling that the powers that be may well have an understanding of the fact that they got this wrong big time, but don’t have the courage or decency to change direction. Probably more likely as a result of face saving and self preservation than anything else.
-
Then you are a foolish man of that there is little doubt.

That’s not what he said

Thanks Mark although It wasn’t difficult in reality ?♂️

I bet you can empty a bar quicker than the 10pm curfew.

I go to this part of the forum to generally lighten up the day, not to see you playing out your anti tory obsession.

It’s interesting J how much of the local dialect in my native Northumberland has links that go back to the Viking period. Currently in a Norwegian vessel and had a conversation about this only yesterday. Myself I managed to pick up enough of the local tongue whilst stationed in Cyprus to get by, First mrs was Finnish and watching the 4 kids we have grow up and spending a lot of time there etc I picked up a good understanding of that. The ex could bounce between English, Swedish and Finnish no probs depending on how much I pissed her off.

That looks a cool place to work, it’s got history written all over it, type of place as kids back before play stations etc you would’ve had a ball in amongst all that.
-
Yeah it is I’ll give you that.

I’ve watched that show Les and if as a kid I’d shown the same level of incompetence that guy does when working horses my father would have beaten the shit out of me. I could yoke a horse into a cart including harnessing up on my own way before my tenth birthday, biggest challenge was the collar !! with bigger horses. You don’t realise as a youngster that you are doing anything special or out of the ordinary as it was just what I was brought up with. But trying to explain it to my own kids I might as well speak Swahili. Funny thing is I’d love now to have a good pair of the little 14,2 or 15,2 cob type things we used and put them to work in the woods but as any horse person knows the amount of time required in the background is prohibitive in this flat out bullshit world we live in nowadays. I take my hat off to anyone whom manages to pull it off.
-
Good luck with venture Mike. Thankfully some people still have the patience and dedication to use horses in a working role. As for breaking even well that’s a different story as from my experience horses are a bottomless pit when it comes to money, but at same time there are worse things to waste money on ?

?? That can’t Andy it doesn’t tKe long for me to max out my IT skills bud ? if you can find the link somewhere it’s a decent read with a lot of old fashioned common sense. I just can’t for the life of me get why people ain’t looking at alternative sources or information or news
-
Can’t seem to post the Link on this but it’s easy to find. What’s shocking is alternative views such as this receive virtually zero MSM coverage.

Coronavirus: Stay indoors or be fined APPLE.NEWS Boris Johnson is drawing up plans to fine people who breach self-isolation rules amid mounting... More rules, more control, hotlines for people to inform on others !!!!. Not long ago people would have laughed at you if you’d described this scenario. Sooner people realise this is bullshit the better, The initial lockdown failed as will this latest rubbish. We have never been able to eradicate common cold or Flu type viruses nor will we this one. As an observation the amount of compliance now ingrained into society regarding the masks is sad to see rather than “superb” as a politician described it on TV yesterday.
