  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Hi Just wondering what bandsaw tooth setter people are using, any to avoid or is anyone having good results with a particular model. Looking to be able to set up to 60mm wide bands. Not huge volumes but occasionally batches of 20-30 blades. Cheets
  6. Has she not got a pair already. I see it has now been transferred to a male prison, hopefully it can play out the role of a woman till it’s hearts content 👍👍I’m sure she as she wants to be identified as will be very very popular. Holyrood have come out of this an absolute laughing stock including those of other parties who voted for that crap. Just watched the report on the BBC and the presenter obviously towing the bloody line kept referring to it as she 🤷‍♂️Like my Mrs said drop the pants and you will find out in 2 seconds man or woman simple 😳no need for certification or consultations etc etc. Utter madness.
  7. Nadhim Zahawi: No penalties given for ‘innocent tax errors’, says HMRC chief APPLE.NEWS Under-pressure Tory chairman had said his error was ‘careless and not deliberate’ Regardless of the rights or wrongs in this particular case the statement by the HMRC chief is a ****************ing load of rubbish, maybe he’s trying to paint HMRC as some sort of all round nice benevolent bunch of decent eggs “ which they most certainly are not” or he’s dipping his toe in politics either way from my recent expensive experience they can be a heartless, vindictive, arrogant bunch of incompetents. Maybe the news about another loan charge induced suicide has spooked him.
  8. Wife of trans rapist sent to female prison brands gender-switch 'a sham' APPLE.NEWS THE estranged wife of a trans rapist sent to an all-female jail said yesterday: “It’s a sham for an... Looking very much like Sturgeon has gotten the message finally on this one
  9. The whole offshore wind drive is generating billions for mainly overseas energy companies, virtually zero is made here. I can assure you the motivation for these companies is not to save the planet as such but to make the maximum profit no different to the oil and gas industry.
  10. Thomas Roberts death: Asylum seeker found guilty of murdering aspiring marine | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK An asylum seeker convicted of murdering an aspiring marine has been unmasked as the killer of... Looks like we will be paying to keep him for a long time now anyway. Sadly we have absolutely nothing appropriate in place to deal with such scum in the correct manner nowadays .
  11. Well I’m pretty sure the latest JVCI guidance is the same Moonbat claptrap that many have been saying for a long time. Shame that whilst the medical side of things seem to be at last getting back to a common sense footing, no one is owning up to the disastrous consequences of lockdowns and restrictions etc etc.
  12. I definitely think Sturgeon, Harvey and all those who voted for it in Holyrood badly misjudged the mood of the vast majority of normal people. I think many are sick to death of having this whole LGBTQ plus shite and the relentless drive to normalise it pushed upon them. I use the word normal intentionally because that thing in the article certainly isn’t.
  13. Politicians and expensive wallpaper must be a habit !!. How Boris Johnson can learn from Tony Blair’s response to wallpaper and flat scandals – Bill Carmichael WWW.YORKSHIREPOST.CO.UK A GOVERNMENT mired in claims of sleaze, fierce public criticism and anger over the extravagant...
  14. Not a clue, was passing over a causeway on Sunday gone and I figured worth a pic. Place is heaving with reds too.
  15. Check those beach babes Les, take your mind off the stresses of life. Outer Hebrides if your wondering.
  16. Couldn’t be any worse than the Middle East role Blair took after the trail of destruction he left whilst hunting for the elusive WMDs 🤔.
  17. Definitely worth it, as an example the pics are of a fireplace surround a neighbour made out of some pippy oak i milled up, shame you couldn’t get it onto a bandsaw as the options for what you can get out of it might be a tad better. Looks like it would give some decent beams.
  18. Ouch 😞low blow that one eggs.
  19. Or people are not being allowed to keep enough of the £40k due to an excess of various open and hidden taxes. As I’ve said more than once, you are hammered in the UK ( worse in Scotland) if you try and get on.

    Slabbed up a “ absolutely no steel in it” big beech as a favour for a farmer friend, hit steel on every single pass luckily the stellite tipped x cut blades coped but quite frankly it was a total waste of a day.
  21. Over half of households get more from the State than they pay in tax | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK For the first time, more than half of households - 36 million people - get more from the Government... Without getting into a blame game type scenario surely the above is not sustainable long term. More pertinent is, what’s the solution or alternative??. I’m pretty sure the current path is not the correct one that’s for sure.
  22. If you want to discuss purely covid matters put it in the vaccine thread rather than selectively quote part of a post here and I’ll happily reply,
  23. There are undoubtedly worse ways to spend a Sunday morning.
  24. I quoted at the very beginning it was not intended to derail the thread. The similarities between the two examples of people changing history have been mentioned before not just by myself along with the incredible amount of people in post war France that claimed to be active with the resistance when in reality it was a tiny percentage of the population. Keep your totally unwarranted, incorrect and not needed get a grip advice for those whom panicked,complied meekly and defended the restrictions etc etc vociferously. if the cap fits wear it. I’ll leave it at that.
