  1. You genuinely can’t help but being a ****************ing grade one tool eh Dempsey. Two totally different points the last one being just an imo observation. You’re obviously on your period again.
  2. We shall see, myself I think a lot of the silent votes will look upon Starmer as just another london elite socialist wannabe, BLM knee taking was a “never vote for this clown moment for me”one things for sure if the last few times have been anything to go by they will make an absolute cluster **************** of it. Mind you there’s a good few including some believers here who think everything is gonna change as soon as Labour get in 😂😂. Nothing much does in reality as far as I can tell.
  3. ‘Underwhelming’ Keir Starmer ‘sparks little enthusiasm’ in voters, pollsters warn APPLE.NEWS Labour leader is considered ‘bad’ or ‘terrible’ by more than a quarter of Britons, a YouGov poll finds Somewhat of an understatement I’d say.
  4. Could be worse, welcome to the madhouse that is Scottish politics. Let’s not let the demographics get in the way eh 🤷‍♂️ IMG_2247.MOV
  5. Nothing overly glamorous but still good to be able to utilise Douglas and free windblown spruce to knock up a shed over the little woodlands. Using it to mill as much of the timber and build over it as I go, no real plans as such just fag packet engineering and lots of staring with a coffee type of build.
  6. Keir Starmer: Trans rights can’t override women’s rights APPLE.NEWS Sir Keir Starmer knows he has a “women problem” — or at least the perception of one. The Labour... Awesome Kier 👍👍that’s the voting public convinced now. Is this the best Labour can bring to the table 🤷‍♂️
  7. Well I guess if you are gonna go on one it may as well be of our era, short shift and let it torque its way around etc. Bike in pic belongs to a mate I’ve made noises a few times to buy it but they just keep going up and up particularly the evo class eligible tools.
  8. Hope you heal fast eggs, just out of curiosity what bike was it ??. There’s a lot of good senior riders out there still but you certainly don’t bounce as well as when you were young for sure. I find a modern 450 to be far more of a handful than the old open class 2 strokes but that could well be an age thing too🤔.
  9. I’ve canned the ad blu injector replacement as I’ve no confidence that this is the issue, like yourself it’s a random fault and can often clear itself etc and I’m not prepared to finance a never ending part swap at Ford main dealer prices. Ad blu delete is the route I’m gonna take for better or worse.
  10. Ranger goes into no engine start mode after a 500 mile countdown if you ignore it. Might try and get it deleted next.
  11. What’s towing capacity Stubby, I tend to prefer a manual box and a decent size motor rather than loads of turbo boost etc.
  12. Watched a few where the wiring looms were damaged and giving the intermittent ad blu faults etc The annoying thing is prior to chassis swap id had no grief from ad blu. The fault is random and will at times clear itself. I’ll get it back and I’ve no doubt it will be back on again soon and the ford customer services merry go round will start again. I genuinely miss my old patrol 157k of hard towing with virtually no hassles. One things for sure there will not be another Ranger being purchased by yours truly.
  13. Update on the Ad Blu saga, truck has been in 6 times now since the chassis swap with warning lights and ad blu service request etc, it’s had software updates etc and multiple resets, I’ve had it to an independent specialist who found multiple body control module faults which he put down to wiring loom ( below tub) issues, something he’s seen on a few Rangers. Anyway it’s in today and latest is they now say they can’t find any of the faults the independent did but say it needs an blu injector which plus diagnostic at £144 is a stinging £682 in total. I’m pretty sure this won’t fix it long term but have run out of patience big time. Looking very likely it’s valet and polish up with a view to sell time.
  14. If Jeremy Corbyn stands as an independent, Keir Starmer will feel the full force of his mistake APPLE.NEWS The decision is bizarre and counterproductive What you see is not what you get with Starmer it would seem.
  15. Without doubt he will try and protect her so called legacy, he’s held and utterly ****************ed up in several roles under her reign so in reality has no choice but to try and carry the mantle so to speak. You’re right I think Forbes would have let the truth about many things come out.
  16. Scotland's new SNP leader Yousaf: I will challenge UK veto on gender reform bill APPLE.NEWS The newly elected leader of the Scottish National Party Humza Yousaf said Britain had no right to... Excellent news for unionists up here, a classic case of utter incompetence being no barrier to progression nowadays. Let him pursue the lunacy that helped bring down Sturgeon, and see where it gets him with the silent majority of NORMAL people.
  17. No Mark whilst the protests do stir up a lot of attention I’d say the idea of full on anarchy is not that appealing, I’ve no idea who we should call on but democracy is as they say the least worst option etc. The current bunch running things are poor that’s for sure and the full on profit at all cost capitalist model is most definitely not working out too well I’d say, at least not here in the UK as we seem to have low tax capitalism for some individuals and businesses at the very top but high tax and stifling regs etc for those small to medium size business and self employed at the bottom or anyone trying to make something of their lives. Im starting to see a lot of good hard working lads start to wonder wtf is the point at the min with current levels of taxation and costs etc. The BOE answer to this is looking like a very poor solution right now too. Think it’s time to buy some more kit rather than have money sitting around, or a few sovereigns pikey style
  18. 🤷‍♂️No idea Mark, but I do think the current pressure on normal working people/ families and the profit generated from them is unsustainable. Sadly as we saw in the last few years there is a tendency just to take it in the UK without much opposition etc as opposed to the way the French are currently kicking off. Not much will change if and when Labour get their spell at the helm neither imo.
  19. Seen it Mark, absolutely disgusting but unfortunately it is and has been a part of political life regardless of the party for years bud. I’ll easy put up a few of the lucrative deals former Labour/LibDem politicians have garnered for themselves, the entire Kinnock tribe for starters.
  20. Vaccine injury scheme ramps up staff as claims over Covid jabs keep growing WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK Admin workers scaled up from four to 80 as claimants say the process takes too long and does not pay... 🤷‍♂️
  21. Money made through private enterprise Mark, where did Starmers come from ?? You seen the recent comparison of incomes and tax paid for Sunak and Starmer 🤔if I were Starmer I’d be buying my accountant a drink.
  22. Keir Starmer will lose election campaign on day one unless he shifts his trans rights position, Labour strategists warn APPLE.NEWS Sir Keir Starmer will lose the general election campaign "on day one" unless he shifts his position... Classic Starmer, spineless coward who can’t make a decision until he sees which way the electoral wind blows. Totally for it until he saw what happened to Sturgeon.
  23. Look at the tax bands for Scotland Eggs, we definitely pay for them up here one way or another.
  24. A common misconception Les, someone is paying for it bud.
  25. Shutting schools during coronavirus pandemic may have been a mistake, admits Scottish health chief WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Ahead of the anniversary of the first pandemic lockdowns next week, Scotland's national clinical... There’s no may about it, this bastard and those like him who “ especially in Scotland” forced kids to miss school and mask up for longer should be held accountable. His master was unbelievably doing the rounds in London post resignation as bold as brass, never mind the fact she and the SNP ( including her thief of a husband) have left Scotland in a shit state and blamed Westminster for every one of their own failings. Day after day the lies in regards covid just keep coming out, the hardest thing to understand is where is the public outcry over what was done and where it’s left us, we were lied to and by our own governments, something which is now not even a so called conspiracy theory or an accusation but a fact, that for two years was carried out on a monumental scale.
