  1. Can you show me where, I’d be interested to read it.
  2. Standard Peds utter bollocks then 🤷‍♂️ Just a bit more pathetic than normal for some reason. Regarding your comment about biodiversity, can you elaborate as to where you read the article ??
  3. That’s interesting. Where did you read that ?
  4. I answer questions whenever asked, unlike yourself and the 3 accusers. 12 years of graft planting various trees and bushes etc plus some good advice from the Fyvie Castle National Trust Gardener has created a decent little environment, Rural Aberdeenshire is what it is, I live in the sticks and it suits me just fine. Not sure where you live nor care for that matter but if it’s that crap do something about it rather than just drip.
  5. Ok for you and SP, it was not boasting it was fact. Look up the Offshore Diving Industry Association wage deal and the day rate for an IMCA Supv its there for all to see including the HMRC. I’m self employed and get paid only whilst at work, no holiday pay no sick pay and no job security all of my own choice. Do you consider me not hardworking just because I’ve grafted, trained myself up at my own expense ( circa 70k and increasing annually) and made huge personal sacrifices over the years. Nothing was ever handed to me nor did I expect it to be. When I’m not away or offshore 42 I run the sawmill, incredible as it is that wasn’t given to me 🤷‍♂️can you believe I had to pay Trakmet for the privilege of owning it. Where I live biodiversity is good, my own little woodlands is currently parked up due to nesting swallows. We see Roe, Fox, Hedgehog and Badgers regularly. I have no problem getting a train into Aberdeen if required. GP and Dental appointments are fine,last time in A/E was no issue. I was harbour jumping with the kids at Gamrie two weeks ago and I’m still alive. ( Try that in Hong Kong harbour and the results might not be the same, I’ve worked there 42) I buy books so don’t use a Library. Regarding a mortgage the current property I’m in to raise the deposit I did two three month trips in Angola and had been in the house for 3 years before I got a Xmas at home. All my own choice I might add. Anyone could follow the career path I have even you 42. Stop looking for someone to do everything for you and you might feel a bit better about things.As for China well that’s such a stupid comment it’s not worth mentioning. Finishing on a positive note, that’s 6 more British guys starting on the job next week in roles that pre Brexit would 100% have been filed by Eastern European agency guys. As the saying goes “ dry your eyes bitch”
  6. I’m wondering if SP has gone all coy.
  7. You know Peds you guys used to be good sport, sadly that seems to be no more, it’s all a bit easy 🤷‍♂️
  8. Couple of days cutting Oak and Elm with Andy, mix of mine and his logs. Used the two days as the final test of the VFD set up. Ended up running at 1300m/min and didn’t even use the 4 or 7 degree blades I had on-site, saw cut really well using woodmizer 10/30 double hards, consistent zero hassle cuts 👍. Night and day difference from the standard factory set up.
  9. Macron calls snap French election and Belgian PM to resign after disastrous poll results APPLE.NEWS French President Emmanuel Macron has called a snap election after his party suffered... I think that’s the quiet majority making themselves heard 👍you grasping that yet.
  10. I’d. not have number 4 if I were you. Is it not a general rule to ask a question then for someone else to answer !!. 🤷‍♂️
  11. Inventing things 🤔Christ you guys have zero shame.
  12. Employee, self employed or business owner ? Nope no error. There’s definitely right wing parties but as I said the phrase “ Far Right” is thrown around at every opportunity. You don’t have to tell everyone how many beers you are having. It’s a given your old enough to be drinking,
  13. Ok show the parties of “ Far Right” 🤷‍♂️ If you think that’s genuinely incredible you must lead a very dull and mundane existence.
  14. Show me where the so called far right is in British politics, I believe that was what mark was referring too when I replied.
  15. On that subject I did ask you a question recently, are you employed, self employed or a business owner ?.
  16. I’ve heard of Overton Breakers.
  17. Oh I get your pathetic BS peds, like I said let’s just wait a few days and see what happens in-the EU elections.
  18. There is no far right Mark, seriously bud it’s utter crap the way that phrase is thrown about.
  19. I’ll say one thing you, don’t shame easily that’s for sure.
  20. We shall see soon enough 👍
  21. Europe's Trump moment has arrived APPLE.NEWS As the far right surges, this week’s European Parliament election will reorder the Continent’s political... 🤷‍♂️Not surprising when the left just wont listen and politicians basically take the piss out of the quiet majority of people. All is not well in that paradise known as the “ EU”.
  22. Ordinary hard working folk 🤷‍♂️are you off your tiny head 42 My working week when I’m away is 7x 12hr shifts plus pre shift and post shift handover so on average 14hrs. You have spouted some garbage on here for sure but that crack about me being oblivious to the plight of “ hardworking folk” takes the biscuit. Seriously 42.
  23. Word salad BS Not bragging just pointing out an actual fact of the post Brexit scenario for myself and the team im currently working with. If you wanted to react or have an issue with something I posted up to one of your pals, reply on that relevant thread not sneaking little wise cracks in elsewhere, mind you there’s a pattern with you doing this but hey Ho 🤷‍♂️Facts 42 that’s what I deal in. As for the two understanding of the situation I supported brexit then and still do now. I’m more than happy for us to be out of the EU corporate cheap labour pool. Hopefully now companies have to train their own people. The irony of listening to Raynor last night complaining about such things 😂. Which thread you ask ? Really 42, you doing the selective memory loss now too.
  24. Don’t be a smug prick every day 42 just let it lie for once. This is how you got your arse handed to you on the other thread. Look up ODIA day rates for a Dive Supervisor and then do some maths. What I stated was fact, if it were pre Brexit myself and the other crew members would probably not be on the job, it would no doubt have been filled by cheaper Eastern European personnel. There’s a lot not right in the UK but there’s plenty that is too.
