  1. Inside get-tough Belgians' zero-tolerance approach to stop small boat crossings APPLE.NEWS OFFICIALS in Belgium are stopping small boat crossings to Britain thanks to a zero-tolerance... Can’t argue with none of the policies the Belgians are enforcing. The information regarding the left wing socialist authorities around Dunkirk and the approach they take is interesting.
  2. Will it tow 3.5t 🤔
  3. No ranting no whining just pointing out the ever increasing amount of facts and evidence available day after day that prove you were bloody stupid to buy into that crap. To say despite this huge amount of evidence to the contrary it was a “ necessary “ evil just about confirms everything for me. Please by all means enlighten us all to the positives associated with that period. As for too much bandwidth then do as I do often, ignore and walk on by. Or at least do as others far cleverer than you or i have done and have the ****************ing balls to admit it was a bloody disastrous totally unnecessary concept from start to finish rather than still trying to justify it to save face.
  4. Former Covid medical officer Van-Tam takes role at vaccine maker Moderna APPLE.NEWS One of UK’s public faces of pandemic, ‘JVT’ was known for football-related metaphors in No... You getting it yet 42 🤷‍♂️.
  5. The Ranger rust/paint issue must have hit hard financially but I guess in the scale of things not enough to hurt too much. I was on my 2nd wildtrack and probably would have gone for another but the hassle and final round of battles with Ford customer service has done it for me. I’ll run the current 68 plate model to death and see what’s around then.
  6. I could 42 adopt the tactics you hide behind and post up a dumb arse pic that in no way detracts from the fact you are firmly in the category mentioned by another member earlier, anyway the big difference between the two issues you describe, as valid as they may be and the state enforced lunacy you supported is that I can in some respects control what my children eat and indeed can also if required monitor or restrict internet/social media access. I could not reopen schools, allow mask free learning, allow limited/unlimited travel or visitation of family or friends, enable access to dental and other non essential but still important health care etc etc etc . What I could and did do is stop the vaccination of my kids with a totally unnecessary and unproven vaccine despite a great deal of pressure from NHS Scotland and their school. Id like to know how many of the original covid warriors on here, knowing what they know now are still taking the vaccinations offered themselves , still happy to allow their children to be vaccinated regularly.
  7. I looked into these for a mobile set up and ended up with a quite in excess of £100k so I’d imagine £40k wouldn’t go far unfortunately. Lovely machines and if money was no object then I’d love one.
  8. Trakmet would probably be the option I’d go for judging by your requirements and budget, sensible money and super heavy built. As big J has stated ( he’s ran a Trakmet in static mode, whereas my own experience is only of a mobile version ) be aware of the speed/accuracy limitations when trying to cut with a very wide throat. Trakmet will build in additional log handling aids on the mill no problem and the 3 phase hydraulic system is very fast and has plenty of grunt. Go for the biggest motor, band wheels and widest blade they will offer you. You will need good dust extraction for sure and I’d be looking at sharpening and setting too, I’ve had markedly better results since sharpening/setting my own blades including much better longevity which I guess is down to a proper gullet grind. I think there is a new TTP600 premium static around somewhere “ cancelled order” that would do the job, standard width for those is 900mm I think but don’t quote me on that. If you order a new machine don’t expect delivery any time soon, it’s a decent lead time.
  9. The aftermath of COVID-19 lockdown: Self-harm and suicide-related behavior among children and adolescents admitted to the Psychiatric Emergency Department - PMC WWW.NCBI.NLM.NIH.GOV For every dumb picture you put up I’ll give you a link to some real time facts/study’s that describe the aftermath and devastation for children of the crap you argued so strongly for.
  10. What argument would that be !! I replied to the point you made stating that there must be something in it because lots did it 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️Christ that is as flawed an argument as it just about possible to try and use. I genuinely can not understand how anyone with any understanding of the damage caused or who at least has tried to look back objectively at what was done during that period, and with a mountain of evidence that is increasing by the day as to the cost in so many ways can somehow still think it was a good idea. They say hindsight is a wonderful thing 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️it would seem that’s most definitely not the case with many people.
  11. I’d say the effects are plain to see and are right in front of you right here right now if you choose to look. Why must there be something in it because the majority went along with it ??. That’s like saying Hitler must have been onto something 🤷‍♂️. I know from the first hand experience of watching what it did to my youngest of 6 kids “ twins” without needing a child psychologist to try and explain it. It’s called being a parent. So you really believe the government had some secret information regarding the lethality of covid that they didn’t share !!!. Politicians from every party and scientists in positions of influence ignored the rules because they knew they were utterly absurd.
  12. 14 million children in the UK silenced by the Covid-19 Inquiry WWW.SAVETHECHILDREN.ORG.UK More than 40 of the UK’s leading children’s charities and child development experts have urged... Your theory about everyone living in the countryside in Sweden or heading off to their weekend retreats has been thoroughly debunked on here numerous times including by individuals who reside there. Multiple children’s charities and organisations have come forward with ample evidence regarding the damage done by lockdowns. The whole lockdown and restrictions theories were built upon massively flawed assumptions and modelling by self promoting individuals who ignored the restrictions themselves (which sort of gives you a massive clue as to how worried they actually were). It was far from a uniform scientific thought as you claim , those scientists who disagreed were utterly vilified regardless of the qualifications or experience they possessed. There can absolutely never be any justification for the madness and stupidity never mind sheer cruelty we witnessed during that period. I could add multiple links or pictures that would seem to suggest children are maybe not at resilient as you think.
  13. Without restrictions 60 million within a month 🤔. I really thought people had now had the chance to look at the whole farcical business and it’s enormous consequential damages and costs with the benefit of hindsight and statistical evidence from many countries ( including one that didn’t lockdown at all that pretty much destroys the pro lockdown argument) Apparently not. You do realise how much of the normal treatments and care you quote were missed in the name of covid I presume ??.
  14. The South African factory
  15. In some ways true, no different to saying the person most effected by any illness is the one with it but in no way does such a vague statement detract from the utter madness of lockdowns and the now plain to see for everyone damage they caused. By the way what was the average age of people whom sadly did succumb to covid??? Why doesn't Britain regret lockdown? - UnHerd UNHERD.COM Three years on, voters remain in favour
  16. The lockdown scandal nobody wants to talk about WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK Children were the greatest victims of the erroneous assumptions that lie at the heart of shutdowns 100% correct in what it says about the damage done to kids ( supposedly in the name of protecting who ???) The silence from even the most vociferous covid warriors today is absolutely deafening. Heart attacks are at a record high – here are the symptoms you can’t ignore WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Hospital cases at new high as health chiefs raise fears that those with symptoms are... 🤷‍♂️
  17. Best of times mate 👍
  18. I definitely don’t get good results using just water, my own preference is RTF tar remover type stuff mixed quite strongly with water.
  19. You can sort the set yourself, Stephen Cull will give good advice regards thst sort of thing.
  20. How many hrs has it done ?? Might be worth checking you’ve had no stretch on the throttle cable ie it’s definitely running flat out and the clutch is fully engaged. Poss worth cleaning the clutch out too. Softwood I find is often harder to cut than hardwood a lot depends on moisture content. What hook angle are you running on the blades?.
  21. Hi looking for a bit of advice from those more knowledgeable than myself regarding a small chipper. Probably only gonna be used 2-3 times a year at my place and similarly at the lads to get rid of max 30mm diameter ( mostly less) branches etc from tidying up a few trees and bushes etc. Just wondering what’s out there to go for and also what’s to avoid. Cheers
  22. Wimbledon school crash: Tyres 'destroyed' at Exeter Land Rover dealership in 'retaliation' over deaths APPLE.NEWS Tyres on at least 60 vehicles at a Land Rover dealership in Exeter have been ruined in retaliation... I guess when you see the softly softly approach in regards the just stop oil fools it’s not hard to understand why people feel emboldened to carry out acts like this. I’d love to catch one of the wankers drilling holes in the rangers all terrains.
  23. I get that eggs but a part state part private set up surely has to benefit all rather than watching the astronomical profits going solely to the private sector. I’d like to think if the bullshit regards competition giving us choice and more affordable bills etc was bandied about now people would ask a few more questions. Like I said to mark bud I think we are ****************ed here big time.
  24. I’d not disagree in the whole J but as you’ve alluded to yourself on many occasions the quality of housing in general is not great here particularly compared to the Scandinavian and Baltic states ( my Finnish ex constantly gets on her high horse regarding that particular comparison) We desperately need to move away from the full on capitalism profit at all cost model especially from what I consider essential services ie water, gas/electricity etc etc hopefully the last 12-18 month has brought home how bad things are in reality. Maybe in the future more builders will incorporate better systems including solar panels etc but the reality of a pure electric only source of heating last winter for me would have been financially horrific. Just curious and being lazy not researching it but what’s the set up over there regards electricity companies and the main source ie nuclear/ gas etc. The Norwegian crane op on the vessel I’m on was explaining to us how he charges his electric vehicle to 100% for literally pence, some huge powerful Chinese suv thing.
  25. No idea about Sweden and Norway I’m just giving you a first hand account of what I found. What do you use by the way ?? I’ve spent enough time in winter in Finland to know they do something right over there. Houses were for my taste uncomfortably warm most of the time. Pretty sure nuclear was the predominant power source at the time. The stove in the pic is the main heat source for my house 5KW running on milling waste 👍👍I’ll take that any day over the set up he had in Uist.
