  1. Good to see you doubting it 👍. The science ain’t always worth following blindly.
  2. It’s nuts, yeah you get ridiculed for going on about it but it’s just wrong the constant increase of control and monitoring of every single piece of people’s lives.
  3. Jesus Christ as in full on surveillance 😞
  4. Pay per mile is in place already with the amount of tax on fuel, if we ever allow a situation to be implemented where we are literally being charged a set rate for every mile you drive then quite frankly many of us might as well give up. Those of us who live in rural locations in particular will be hammered.
  5. You have to feel for the likes of old disco and 4x4 drivers, the mrs a few years ago ditched her Nissan pathfinder when the tax hit nearly 600 a year, 7 seater too which was ideal for her and kids etc in rural Aberdeenshire especially in winter. Current state of the roads in Scotland is abysmal to the point you literally spend more time dodging potholes than anything else. Anyone who’s been to Glasgow lately will totally get it.
  6. Clapham chemical attacker Abdul Ezedi given Muslim burial despite claiming to have converted to Christianity - Mirror Online WWW.MIRROR.CO.UK Footage has emerged of Clapham chemical attacker Abdul Ezedi being given an aparent Muslim... 🤷‍♂️what a joke, hopefully the mugs who assisted him feel some shame. At least the taxpayers don’t have to feed him now which is a result as far as I’m concerned.
  7. JK Rowling dares police to arrest her as Scotland's new hate crime laws come into force NEWS.SKY.COM Supporters of the new laws insist they will make Scotland more tolerant. But critics such as the... Seems like the utter lunatic green fringe that supports the SNP led by that sick sexual deviant “ Harvey” are definitely calling the shots up in Scotland now, legislation that looks like it’s straight out of a chapter of 1984. The ban on gas boilers in new builds which came in also slipped by virtually unnoticed yesterday. Utter madness, we live in the coldest wettest part of the UK yet the drive to push everyone away from everything other than electricity as a source of heat is relentless. My last decent power cut ( not uncommon in rural Aberdeenshire) was 5 days. Luckily I’ve a decent backup generator, an oil fired boiler propane fuelled gas hobs and a wood burner. Take those away and make us 100% reliant on electricity and it would have been a miserable few days. For those on here who think Green is an option at the next election, be careful what you wish for. Humza Yousaf condemns racist graffiti targeted at him near his Dundee home WWW.SCOTSMAN.COM Police are investigation BANG 👍🤷‍♂️how convenient the very next day. Facebook M.FACEBOOK.COM But let’s just ignore Humza and his infamous “white “ speech up in predominantly “ white “ Scotland.
  8. It’s not Rocket science eh Les, as you say they care little about people’s health and safety and uprooting a few communities is neither here nor there to the Russians. Combine that with the vast wide open spaces then it’s not hard to see how they can lay track quickly. I watched the documentary, certainly puts the bollocks we worry about such as this new hate crime crap up here and all the LGTQB shite into perspective.
  9. Went full on into the pcp thing for a while but ended up getting rid and just running with springers ( 97k) again, far less hassle and it tends to improve your basic skills. PCPs are incredibly accurate, easy to shoot and a very effective pest control tool but for a bit of fun teaching kids etc the sprig guns tick the boxes for me.
  10. What’s dimensions of the beam and maybe put up a pic or two. if it’s just one length have you considered chainsaw milling it on site.
  11. To be honest Les it might be just as easy to chainsaw mill it on site if it’s a one off cut 🤷‍♂️
  12. Hi All Just wondering if any member has applied for and runs with a restricted o licence. If yes did anyone use one of the many firms offering assistance or did you just undertake the application process yourself. Cheers
  13. lol yeah if that goes pop it will be a quick way to go
  14. Imply/Infer 🤷‍♂️who cares eh, and no I’d go for the most right leaning common sense candidate I could find, probably an independent nowadays due to the PC/Woke basically weak nature of the Blue/Red/Yellow or Green options.
  15. 5 years is it 😞doesn’t time fly when your enjoying yourself.
  16. Hope you had a decent post tug Kip, I’m easy either way if people reply or not, you normally do mind. Busy on a UXO job upstream of the Montgomery at the min so not a lot of time to answer, I will if it’s a good one though 👍
  17. Another one assuming, guys you are obviously bored. Go and crack one out or something and have an early night.
  18. That’s you assuming again I see either that or you lead a blinkered existence
  19. People might want to face up the carnage the last Labour administration left the Middle East in before deluding themselves that things “ can only get better”. Definitely an election where independents will stand a chance or Reform possibly . Quite frankly the options are crap either way you look with the two main parties. Pressure builds on Angela Rayner over council house claims APPLE.NEWS A council has confirmed it will review allegations that Angela Rayner committed electoral... 🤷‍♂️😂they are all with the odd exception the same.
  20. To be honest the milling I do when I’m home is far harder with longer days and some serious graft involved , more so than i ever do in my day job. I know I’m getting a decent wage and appreciate it.
  21. Pretty sure equine passports and registration has been around for years although as with many things it’s only the law abiding that comply.
  22. Tax offshore in North Sea is unavoidable.
  23. A lot of egg on a lot of faces me thinks if that ever gains traction.
  24. The fins are on the rack nowadays. Dive control and supervising. 30 plus years of getting wet was plenty.
  25. What I make I make 🤷‍♂️it’s my business. We get by but are by no means Rich, as labour and the SNP labels anyone who tries to get on in life.
