  1. It was more the 3.9million pie I was referring too.
  2. Fatcat boss who quit in row over £3.9m pay rehired on massive £3,000 a day - Mirror Online WWW.MIRROR.CO.UK EXCLUSIVE Mike Betts, 59, left Motability Operations, which provides cars to disabled people, amid anger at his £1.7million... I’d like a slice of that pie 🥧
  3. The DLA free car lunacy is an industry of its own. Has to be one of the most abused parts of our healthcare set up by far. I know of 5-6 people running them, one a family member whom are genuinely taking the piss.
  4. No gripe bud they are shit 🤷‍♂️Plain and simple that’s it. I know about Serco Mark,my sister is currently being hounded to swap over from an old HMP contract to a new serco deal, like my own experience with the RMT she is finding her union utterly hopeless.
  5. Dear me Mark are you on your bloody period this week. They are not my new party as well you know. Prescriptions should be free for those whom genuinely need them, those whom can afford too should pay and i include myself in that category. The biggest beneficiary from free prescriptions are the drug companies themselves. On the other side of the coin you may not be aware of the current number of cottage hospital closures currently being forced through up here by the SNP !!. You like many others looking in think Scotland is some kind of SNP managed socialist paradise, in reality it’s far far from that up here. As I keep saying the pr machine behind the current government and a very cooperative media make for a totally biased view.
  6. I’m sure you do but the whole free uni for all lie in Scotland is what I’m on about. Not how or what you did or paid for. It’s yet another bit of good work by the SNP pr team.
  7. The excellent system you describe Mark is not actually that at all, the free places are getting less year after year bud. The universities make the money from overseas paying students hence the numbers of those places have increased. Do some research on it Mark it’s an eye opener. No the ones whom did go went down in Newcastle so have the debt to go with it.
  8. No not at all it’s just the back and forth with you yesterday was reminiscent of me trying to deal with the kids of mine whom did attend university. Ive no problem with people being educated to the extent of obtaining a degree although I don’t think it’s for everyone and the whole Blair era push for it has turned out to be another of his utter F Ups.
  9. Why are child hepatitis cases rising in the UK? What experts say could have caused the increase in infections APPLE.NEWS The UK Health Security Agency announced it had identified a further 34 cases on Thursday, in addition to the 74 reported...
  10. You’ve got a degree have you not Mark ?
  11. You surprise me Mark you talk the talk all social justice and decency etc yet when something is put up about a party that at first glance for a change seems to be promoting decency, family values, good education for kids, observing and respecting democratic decisions etc etc you turn on the smug pseudo left wing radical bollocks. One things for sure your not Labour in the traditional sense at all Mark in any way shape or form.
  12. Better those than this utter clown you got a hard on over Mark.
  13. Now now Mark. Who rattled your cage, you are always going on about politics and the Tories as I do about the SNP, I thought they spoke a lot of sense and espoused some decent traditional family values as opposed to all that lgbt minority shite.
  14. Selfishness is not a nice trait citizen smith. At least they are not promoting all this trans and lgbtq+etc etc etc bollocks like old starmer is. It’s not a case of floating my boat it’s more they are speaking common sense. If that makes them religious nutters in your eyes then so be it. Six kids and not a penny taken off anyone Mark from day one, unlike the situation most families would find themselves in under the utopian all powerful anything goes nanny state vision labour and the snp etc aspire to create.
  15. Really ?? religious zealot I’m not mark, most of what they are saying is absolute common sense in particular the stuff regards kids education etc. Far more down to earth and in touch with people’s views than the woke shit that’s often forced upon the majority by the vociferous minority.
  16. https://scottishfamily.org/ Wondering what the catch is here!!, Mark J. Not sure of them at the minute but in reality I can’t see much I’d disagree with.
  17. UK considering scrapping plans for speed limiters in cars to avoid EU ‘mentality’ APPLE.NEWS ‘I don’t care what the EU does anymore’, says Jacob Rees-Mogg – as he hints at cabinet row over safety devices A bit of common sense hopefully
  18. 👍 got two of exactly the same sitting waiting, just need the time to sort it all out.
  19. A scandal worse than thalidomide APPLE.NEWS The moment her newborn son Sebastian was handed to her, Catherine McNamara knew something was terribly wrong. His... A tragic tale for sure, might be worth a read for some whom seem have over the past 2 years shown absolute trust and belief in the pharmaceutical industry.
  20. Hats off to you bud, I’ve read a few bits about the diesel wrecking the rubber hence stayed clear of it, but might still go for it to work on outside of band via a felt pad and drip system, I watch the cooks videos a lot and yeah very knowledgeable god fearing southerners 👍. The cleaning systems I’m looking at are a combination of cooks and the pulse spray lube mizer set up etc. The components including high density felt etc are all here it’s just seems there’s never enough time to get it all sorted.
  21. Devices to stop drivers speeding could be mandatory in all new cars APPLE.NEWS Measures, which would be introduced for safety reasons, would be likely to be backed by environmental campaigners Well so much for doing our own thing after Brexit. After the last two years the alarm bells ring whenever I see anything about keeping us safe that in reality involves more interference in your day to day life. We have speed limits 🤷‍♂️ is that not enough !!. Having your car hooked up to an all powerful gps system that can shut you down or force you to doodle along at 30mph !!!! if that isn’t excessive overreaching control I’m not sure what is.
  22. 38mm /1”1/2wide I’m using, I’d have liked to try diesel for sure if I had solid wheels but the ones on there are belted. Which mill is it you are using??. I checked all the blade speed settings as the factory recommended ones were in my opinion too fast and resulted in ultra fine dust, I’ve come down a bit on the speed and the results are better. I guess it’s a never ending learning curve.
  23. Yeah I’ve considered that but blades are not running much set at all, defo no more than factory settings, 4800mm long blade and sometimes using the the full width 1100mm of the throat it’s just a lot of dust to shift depending on age/condition of log. Some days it’s a doddle others it can be frustrating as hell. I find blade cleanliness is a huge factor with this mill, “ possibly due to the fact it doesn’t have a huge excess of HP”currently in process of putting together a few mods to fit additional cleaning systems including possibly a 12v widescreen type pump and a couple of spray nozzles to help with heavy build up, I’ll see how that goes. I think like most mills there’s always something that you want or think you want to make it suit your particular needs. Those oddball woodmizer blades did actually leave the board much cleaner but I hit steel on the second cut so dropped back to the tipped x cuts in case there was more, which unfortunately there was.
  24. Nothing glamorous about today’s job, knocking up cladding for a customer whom wanted to utilise another storm victim 🤷‍♂️
  25. Working through some nice Oak, another victim of the storms this winter. Some nice patterns. Trying out a different blade to try and pull more dust out, 800-1m slabbing cut are a delicate balance of all the factors involved i find, mess up one and that thin band just does it’s own thing big time. Last 3 pics are a fireplace surround my neighbour made using Oak cut from another piece of the same tree as the boards came from. When you see a tree that was probably gonna end up either rotting away of being ringed/chipped up being used to make quality features like that it makes the effort to recover it even more worthwhile.
