  1. A party political broadcast containing nothing but opinions which as we all know are like blah blah blah. Any government in this situation won’t keep all the people happy all the time, if he’d locked the whole country down weeks ago the outcry would have been off the scale, the current incumbents at number 10 are reacting as is everyone to a fluid situation based on the scientific advice available.
  2. Andy as you know I was at a large engineering works today and to put it mildly no fucks were being given mate. People sitting in canteen shoulder to shoulder no social distancing at all. Total joke. Told a couple of guys whom I had to interact with on occasion to step away from me. Not sure what it’s gonna take but people are still not taking this seriously.
  3. Hi Mark No pics from other side im afraid. Basically it’s still one cable that goes into two slings to create a bridle in a Y shape. I’d imagine problem you have is the log pivoting on the single point of contact in centre just at the point when most weight is on the winch ?. Anyway it may take a few goes to get the attachment points on the chassis and the length of the slings right but the bridle method does help. If you can’t access different length slings buy a coil of 20-25mm polypropylene rope and splice a set of eyes in each end that’s what I did until I found out what length worked well. Obviously you want the winch wire to have enough travel to get the log into the bed, if you look at mine the winch bottoms out just as log is on the flat section at top of ramps. Hope that makes sense ?
  4. Ramps and a winch set up. Most of stuff I’ve milled lately has been on the limit of mills and if I’m honest my physical capacity in relation to moving the cants etc. Like I said I’d love access to a loader of sorts.
  5. No thanks J Cup of tea does me fine bud ??
  6. Since having a rather horrendous experience with whisky as a Boy soldier being Coerced into carrying out waiting on duties for the seargeants mess summer ball at the guards depot in pirbright many years ago that culminated in me waking up in the glass house with zero recollection of anything and then spending the next 6 hrs being rifted around the depot by some pissed off regimental policeman with a floor bumper above my head just the smell of it makes me wretch??
  7. Hi Mark I had same issues when initially swapping to ripper 37 blades as they were slightly longer than the original. The combined alignment and tensioning system is indeed a pain in the arse to set up, admittedly not to bad once you have found the 25NM/Band tracking true sweet spot but it did have me losing the head at the time. Same here I’d love a little loader of some sort. I’m seriously thinking of checking out hire rates for something that would do the job say for a weekend and dedicate that whole weekend to milling as the actual milling side of things ain’t taking long it’s the log handling that’s taking about 70% of my time.
  8. Nice ? well done as women tend not to miss much.
  9. How do you quantity the ability to deal with this situation. Only time or history will judge this I guess., totally agree with the sticking together comment. There is some serious activity going on in the background by a lot of different people from many areas of expertise in an effort to make sure the eqpt that’s needed by the nhs is available.
  10. Managed to persuade the 4 older kids to chip in at Xmas Andy and get me the Robert Sorby 21/2 inch slick ?lovely tool for sure so far unused. With hindsight I’d have been far better off with some good strong morticing chisels to clean out bottom of holes done by the chain morticer.
  11. Agreed hopefully it will bring out the good in people rather than the self centred materialistic behaviour that manifests itself so often nowadays.
  12. Not tory loving at all mark I’ve stated many times that I think he is far from perfect. No one but you mentioned politics, Regards far bigger than red and blue well err yes that was exactly my point, Do everyone a favour and as I said a few posts ago don’t try and politicise this. Apart from being bloody pointless under the circumstances it’s also excuse my language fxxxxxg boring.
  13. Give the socialist tory banging drum a bloody rest just for once Mark I’m sure everyone on here well knows how you view Boris.
  14. What does the 18 month figure refer too ??? Based on what ???? There are enough keyboard warrior scare mongering panic merchants out there to justify my views on bullshitbook and all the other so called social media sites. Boris is just the mouthpiece for the advisory team behind him. What would be good to see is a depoliticisation of the whole thing and a cessation of ultra negative Labour or opposition comments all the time.
  15. Huge contributer to global warming ?‍♂️?‍♂️But passed off as a must have in modern day life regardless of the cost.
  16. Seems to me the whole pathetic social media bullshit circus has contributed to the stupidity we have seen at supermarkets etc.
  17. Agreed I wonder if HMRC will cut anyone some slack when the income/turnover for small businesses or the self employed disappears!!! My own view is they won’t give a damn based on their track record.
  18. Blade runner ? Rutger at his coolest
  19. Did I miss something or was that tax claim edited
  20. Actually if that’s people you know, you might want to reconsider the character of the individuals you associate with.
  21. TR is nothing to me mark, hate him as much as you want he is often telling the truth. And bollocks to looking through old posts of yours I knew Corbyn was a fool already. I’ve got to get my capitalist arse up to work tomorrow early doors. Taxes to pay etc etc
  22. Asian grooming gangs Mark Epstein is gone Prince Andrew is a twat, good mate of mine ex marine served on the same ship as him at one point and I’ve seen him first hand at Windsor castle whilst doing ceremonial shite and yes from what we both witnessed he’s an arrogant spoilt arsehole. But the scale of the abuse conducted by the gangs TR seeks to expose is massive compared to any of the others you never fail to try and drag into the equation.
  23. Well I guess t gf Sts as good as endorsement as can be squeezed out of you ref TR mind you the grooming gang scandal is and has been proven to be statistically carried out by a certain group end of story ?‍♂️
  24. That boat name is for real not a nick name. Human nature I’m afraid how many of us are genuinely trustworthy to the level we expect politicians to be. Robinson’s claims and facts are none the less valid
  25. Hey Pal ?‍♂️ steady with the terms of endearment I watched it too and I thought it was very informative although one side of a complex issue but it undoubtedly showed on a number of occasions the pandering of the system to those whom have no respect for law and order in this country or our traditional values. If you can not see that regardless of how you feel about him personally then you are indeed letting your feelings blinker any ability to see reason or an alternative version of events to that what you perceive as true. I voted Tory but I’m well aware of Boris Johnsons shortcomings etc and can admit that. I didn’t see that fool Corbyn as some messiah like figure as others did. I can see Robinson’s faults but also the validity of the issues he has tried to raise. By the way tell me one thing he has said that is not true ???? No ranting just a sensible explanation of how he is wrong on the issues he spoke of in that speech. On a slightly humorous note I do remember the boat in cambios called shy torque which was quite amusing listening to him call the port authority to get in and out,
