  1. Cheers for the info, any idea on sharpening protocols with the tips and availability for an 880.
  2. Self employed so yeah it’s out of my pocket 👍
  3. 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)
  4. 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.
  5. 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. .
  6. 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.
  7. Lucky you bud, been a cracking few days weather wise and I’m stuck in a bloody classroom on a course 🤮🤷‍♂️.
  8. Lol I do indeed. As I said just amusing myself mainly for the post Truss cheek from yourself. I’m off Eggs the mrs is nudging me to put the phone down 🥰 👍.
  9. I don’t really care Eggs I’m just being a twat and amusing myself before getting my head down in my humble (All taxes paid) abode.
  10. You put it out there on a public forum so how can you justifiably be upset that another member is taking an interest.
  11. Things often snag up Mark but yeah for sure sometimes things will just migrate downstream.
  12. Blue View Sonar on either Rovs or diver operated with a real time topside feed is used in zero visibility, has been for a while now. Sonar Teledyne BlueView V series | iRov Underwater Services WWW.IROV.IT Teledyne BlueView V Series 2D imaging sonars have been developed exclusively for... Numerous variations by different manufacturers but much the same.
  13. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that you may have upset someone unintentionally. How can you pay anything never mind council tax on a plot that is not official and as such won’t even exist on the councils system ?? little cartoon for you Eggs seeing as you seem very fond of them.
  14. On and on 🤷‍♂️!! Second post on the Truss topic, you always have the option to ignore or walk on by eh, read the original post eggs !! Sour grapes or ?????. The point of interest in the article was the admission of how little control a PM has and how as she admits the balancing act they try to walk is such a fine one in regards keeping the “ markets “ sweet. Alternatively you could reply in simpleton terms.
  15. I figured as much
  16. What’s your take Mick where we are right now in regards the point in discussion ?? Other than the cartoons of course.
  17. But Eggs is that not the reaction they want you to have ?? Is it not the fact it was as another member has said it was the markets who brought her down ?? where are we now and who is making the big bucks ?? Banks, energy companies, arms manufacturers etc etc I could go on and on but the fact is big state high tax etc etc benefits the establishment far more than you or I.
  18. Liz Truss: I was brought down by the left-wing economic establishment APPLE.NEWS Exclusive: In an essay for The Telegraph, former PM stands by her policies and criticises Rishi... Sour grapes or an indication of the reality of who is pulling the strings , and who benefits the most from our current high tax high interest and massive state spending !!.
  19. 'I had all the skills to get into RAF but – as a white man – they turned me down' WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK Jack Zanelli believes he was a victim of positive discrimination after he scored highly in aptitude... Best man or woman for the job should be the aim, not some ludicrous woke bullshit agenda.
  20. 100% 👍 The little cordless one in pics is within hands reach every time I’m milling, great little tool.
  21. To deny Sturgeon even one single penny is worth any amount of hassle.
  22. Voices: People are thinking it, but no one is saying it: Was Liz Truss right? APPLE.NEWS There is strong feeling that low taxes are right and properly conservative, writes John Rentoul Such as getting those in who they require for the best return.
  23. I like most of the guys who mill make my own for decent timber but I also often help myself ( with approval) to a skip that’s full of them at my local builders/timber merchant. They get them in with the treated stuff and just bin them as they go.
  24. This time Mark I’m 100% in agreement with you. Just waiting for Sunaks investment into a particular pharmaceutical outfit to start gathered legs. Are we ready for a PM who can't say that women are adult female humans? APPLE.NEWS COMMENT Unfortunately that seems to be the utterly pathetic alternative.
  25. In that case I’d be at his door right now as well as posting about it here. I know what it feels like to be bumped by a main contractor, in one case I was driving back from Dublin on Xmas eve and got a phone call saying the crowd I’d been working for had shut its doors 🤷‍♂️Not a thing I could do and lost the £10k. I hope it works out for you but as I said if you know where he is and he’s got valuable kit I know what I’d be doing.
