Rant ?? I must have missed that bit of the post.

Single-sex schools to reject transgender pupils and ignore preferred pronouns under new Government guidelines APPLE.NEWS Single-sex schools will soon be able to reject transgender pupils under new government... Finally some common sense

Reasonable reply until you started making wise cracks about judgement and covid, seeing as you made an utter fool of yourself over that topic I’d be keeping quiet about it if I were you, that plus the facts now available about the futility of masks, social distancing, dubious to say the least vaccines and the now well documented evidence on the effectiveness of naturally acquired immunity 🤔🤔 ie all the things many of us were ridiculed for saying by the likes of yourself. Unlike a good few on here I’m not blind to politicians and particular parties failings, a good example being the SNP whom a few of us on here have been going on about for years. Please see the attached article as an example of Labours amazing fiscal talents. My views on manufacturing, state ownership of critical industries and infrastructure etc and where we are as a nation are well known, years and years of failings by successive governments of all colours have let this country down massively. I genuinely don’t think that knee taking weakling is in anyway shape or form what is needed to sort things out.

BMT100 tooth setter delivered by DHL, box well taped up etc, I put the package on the back seat of the pick up as I was heading up to Uist the next morning and figured it would give me something to do on the Sundays when Forbes congregation say we can’t work. Anyway opened the box up tonight and it looks like it’s had a rough journey to say the least, foam all mangled, dial guage bezel damaged after one of tooth spacing arms was against it and gauge itself bent on mount and the spring return on the plunger is totally goosed, graunching as you move it in and out 🤷‍♂️. Phone call to woodmizer tomorrow and see how it goes.

😳Easy now, Simple solution is to vote for you think will do the best job at the next election 👍. I did like your “ masters of the channel” outburst mind. As an aside I guess you’ve seen how good it’s going up here in Scotland lately with the socially progressive high tax big spend SNP ??. Dear Keir, the polls are tightening and frankly, people are worried. You have to raise your game APPLE.NEWS A Labour win still seems likely, but where’s the narrative? As the Tories shift further right... Right wing media eh 😞🤣 Labour votes ensure all Covid measures pass despite huge Tory rebellion – LabourList LABOURLIST.ORG Labour has voted with ministers on measures to combat the spread of Covid... I see people often using the lame “ but Labour or the opposition were not in power” excuse, the point is the voting records are easily viewed to show the way they supported all restrictions etc such as in the article attached, it gives ample documented evidence as to how they would have handled things and what they helped sustain.

That’s a decent attempt at a derail but anyway yeah I did as it happens ( and unless there’s a valid alternative will again)as did the majority 🤷‍♂️it’s called democracy. As for the actions of the last 2-3 yrs as I’ve said dozens of times the opposition parties called for earlier more stringent and long lasting restrictions in regards that one particular topic. The judgement in that particular reply was as im presuming you are aware a reference to being able to look at a media source and make my own mind up. Try the conservative twins on you tube, that’s worth a watch. They are most definitely right wing. Back to the media, I’ve watched msm tear into the current government relentlessly for a good few years now as is the way of such things, it seems strange as soon as they switch to scrutiny of Starmer it’s because they are “right wing”

That what you use?? I’m happy to use my own judgement, it’s seen me ok over the years. Particularly the last 2-3.

🤷‍♂️where did you see that ?,

Right wing media 🤔,you think so ??.We obviously look at things from a differing perspective, I wasn’t aware I expressed an element of surprise.

You are probably right in much of what you say, but for those who see some sort of Labour white knight coming to the rescue there is an abundance of recent history to prove that may not be the case. Millions of us remember the last time Labour was in power, that’s just a random article chosen out of many that popped up from a quick google search. Blair/Brown did a huge amount of long term damage to the Labour Party and I think many look at Starmer and see much they don’t like nor trust. Myself I live in hope that badass Ruth will ditch the lords and make a comeback. Delusions of Honesty | City Journal WWW.CITY-JOURNAL.ORG When Tony Blair announced his resignation after ten years as prime minister of the United Kingdom...

Who can tell and politics is definitely a fickle game but it does seem that Sunak is just going about his business in a steady fashion which it seems is slightly more appealing to a sizeable number than Starmers methods.

French warship 'ordered ferry to move aside' so it could take 90 Channel migrants to the UK in 'dangerous' incident APPLE.NEWS A French warship ordered a passenger ferry to move to one side so it could take 90 migrants... 🤷‍♂️Seems like the French navy is getting in on the people trafficking game now. Makes an utter mockery of the millions that is being given to France to alleviate this issue.

Cheers Mark, I’ve actually had the adblu deleted and whilst in he tweaked it up a bit not massively but smoothed out what was there and the torque increase is definitely noticeable. Mpg is better and truck is far nicer to drive and tow with. Coming up to a 1000 miles since having it done and so far no issues. Time will tell but it can’t be any worse than an endless merry go round to the Ford main dealer.

Yeah decent stuff to work with, good size and price/availability up here. Can be hard on the blades mind. I’d have liked to do some of it in Larch but that was a chunk more expensive.

You are probably right in many respects, I nearly commented on your post something along the lines of “ oh to have a concrete floor and a forklift inside a shed” 130s are great little tools, I’ve been building a set up with one in static mode myself. I run ripper 37s on the 130 max which work great and a combination of those woodmizer blades and stellite tipped x cuts on the Trakmet depending on what I’m cutting. The Trakmet I have will do 1200 diameter and an 1150mm slab if everything is nice and straight. Cost wise probably mid 30s plus vat sat there in reality. Prices just seem to be climbing constantly too at min with ever increasing lead times for kit.

Spalted Beech, we tend to be inundated with beech up here and to be honest most of it ends up as firewood as this was gonna be but you could see the potential in the end grain on that log, it’s a hit and a miss but this time the boards were still nice and solid. I put the blades out to a local ish saw doctor for sharpening but have recently ordered sharpening and setting kit to be able to have a go myself, I normally get 3 sharpenings per blade before metal fatigue sets in and they start to go pop. Blades range from£350-£500 for ten 4800mmx38mm so definitely not a throw away item. I’m not unhappy with the service I get but it’s more the inconvenience, travel and time lost that can be a chore plus I’m wanting to experiment with amount of set etc to see what performs better in different types of timber. It’s a good solid machine for sure and the hydraulics ( including the extra second log turner I fitted) are a big plus with heavy hardwood logs, the set works are millimetre accurate too ( you have to occasionally recalibrate if you bang a big log or slab down too hard) which makes life much easier.

Dalai Lama regrets asking boy to 'suck my tongue' APPLE.NEWS Footage showing the Tibetan spiritual leader's interaction with the boy had sparked outrage. WTF 😳

Couple of days contract cutting various hardwoods for some great guys who run a local woodlands trust, first day the wind was at my back, not so lucky the second day. An easy half shift on sun milling DF beams for myself to keep the woodlands shed build on track. Milled a couple of bits of old beech firewood lying around just for the sake of it. The DF which is quite dry now was proving to be hard on the blades, only getting about an hour out each of good cutting time.

Seems like Sturgeon is turning out to be a bit of a hypocrite to say the least.

Yeah 12hrs of questioning etc, motor home being lifted as Andy pointed out etc etc I’d say you are right, they will know plenty more than we are aware of. Don’t be surprised if she totally distances herself from him to save her own arse.

Would that be roughly the same figure he lent to the SNP Andy to help with cash flow !!!, that he’s being paid back from SNP funds, the same figure Sturgeon didn’t even know about 😂😂. I’m sure if I lent £100k and didn’t tell the mrs she’d be having something to say about it, not just it’s “ his business “ . Those of us who live up here have known for years what a bunch of chancers they are bud, I’ve yet to find a hard working, small business or indeed self employed type who has a good word for them. Maybe if I went to a few parts of Dundee or Glasgow and embraced the smell of weed wafting around and the huge numbers of illegal immigrants housed at tax payers expense ( mind you spending other people’s money seems to somehow ok to me and mrs SNP) masquerading as asylum seekers I’d find a few supporters. Fraud police probing 'missing' funds from SNP seize motorhome from Nicola Sturgeon's in-law's drive WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK EXCLUSIVE: The Mail on Sunday can reveal another morning raid has taken place... Do you think she will know or remember anything about it just sitting there 🤔

Further enquiries are being made, let’s see where this goes. It was never on the cards for him to be arrested, questioned and detained for any length of time. The fact they made that kind of call knowing full well the political ramifications would suggest they already have enough suspicion that something is not as it should be. The auditors for the SNP have just baled out too along with everyone else trying to distance themselves from what’s been going on up here for bloody ages. The incompetent fools that have been running Scotland into the ground have been found out finally,Sturgeon baled big time knowing what was coming.

I get the same off the mrs once a month Les.

Clear to you only Dempsey, I’d say anyone else on the forum reading it got the gist of the post, I’m not shouting anyone down. I say it with the words I use you say it with the words you use, I’d use the same language face to face as I use on here like it or lump it. You’ve seen in past for example on the Ranger forum I’m more than capable of being civil to you, sadly the reality is you are genuinely like a bitch in heat whenever you get the tiniest opportunity to have a dig.
