  1. I suspected you would not have the character to be able to resist. Have you no bloody pride.
  2. Self control Mark and hopefully you are a bit more sensible or not interested in experimenting 🤷‍♂️genuinely why you don’t is your business but making it legal and easy to get will just open up the opportunities for things to go very badly wrong, 🤷‍♂️my opinion bud, Mark do you have kids ?
  3. I’m failing am I 42 🤷‍♂️really, please spare me your word games. You like another on here fond of lies have literally lost all credibility as far as im concerned. Just ignore my posts if you can, I’ve absolutely zero interest or respect for you or your views.
  4. Still playing with words I see. Peds sadly your credibility is zero bud after your utter failure to back up your claims/lies. It’s that simple. If you have any more to say take it to the topic where you made your mouth go. Lying is very much like the topic in discussion here once you start it’s hard to stop.
  5. I get the impression listening to the UXO Supvs on jobs that, depending on type of explosives in question tbe stability actually can reduce over time. Fuse wise for sure most munitions onboard should not be armed but 🤷‍♂️I’ve no idea what’s left onboard. Regarding disposal, the trend nowadays is to go for low rather than high order disposal but that doesn’t always happen as the recent incident in Poland shows. A common comment I hear is German bombs and fuses are top quality whereas the allied stuff was slightly more “ British Leyland “ 'Earthquake' bomb explodes during defusing attempt - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK The blast of the WW2 bomb in a canal in Poland was not unexpected and divers were...
  6. Time and tide waits for no man Les 👍
  7. Christ Mark I expect a bit more from yourself. So you claim the majority of people want the crap you talk of legalised. Ok bud I’ll be in lynemouth on the 16/5 let’s meet and I’ll watch you shoot up on Heroin see how you get on.
  8. I’m still waiting for the conclusion of a discussion on a different topic from you and a couple of others, so really can’t be arsed to get into this to and fro be honest particularly with those fond of making up false claims. If a few on here seem to think that making the crap you are on about legal then-quite frankly you are even more stupid than I previously thought.
  9. Ok mark, you are entitled to your opinion. Thankfully you are in a tiny minority on this one.
  10. Very viable. Look at the regular incidents regarding fishermen and excavations etc throughout Western Europe, Germany in particular. Cover or contain the blast sounds good but can make things far worse. No doubt it will be left until it has to be done as the cost whatever happens is gonna be astronomical.
  11. Yeah Mark ban the lot for me and drop the dealers on the spot like the old Philippines guy did ( much to the applause of the Philippino deck crew on a boat I was on at the time) How on earth can an educated adult propose legalising the stuff you are talking about. As for Alcohol! What did I say 🤷‍♂️personally I don’t give a damn but to compare having a few beers or a glass of wine with smoking crack cocaine, come on Mark. It might have been a good idea at uni but Anarchy ain’t a viable alternative or solution.
  12. No of course it doesn’t just as this stupid bit of legislation will not stop smoking. The scale of as you describe it is a fraction of what it would be if it was legalised. But what kind of world will we live in if that shit is made legal and therefore presumably acceptable 🤷‍♂️it’s an ongoing fight unfortunately and why would I be happy about criminal gangs running anything, we have a weak police and judiciary that should be far harder on this crap. I’ve personally lost two mates over the years to alcoholism and one ex army colleague to a heroin overdose. Additionally to that I literally threw a family member out of my house when it was plain his income was coming from similar activities. There’s a huge difference in the outcomes between shooting up on heroin and buying some old Holborn.
  13. Do you genuinely think. Heroin, Crystal Meth, Fentanyl etc etc should be legal ?.
  14. Well the first two already are and an alcohol ban wouldn’t bother me personally as I don’t drink but I’d still be 100% against any attempt to restrict access to it. Like Scott Rails ongoing ban on alcohol sales, total SNP nanny state control freak behaviour.
  15. MPs to vote on smoking ban for those born after 2009 - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK Rishi Sunak's bill aims to create the UK's first smoke-free generation in a major public health intervention. I’m anti smoking and have never smoked but I just feel this is nanny state intervention that is totally unnecessary, it’s been said today on the news “ what next “ a ban on excess sugar, a ban on how many units of alcohol you can have 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.
  16. Every day is a learning day, I’ve come across it a couple of times in Elm and had zero idea what causes it or what it was called. 👍
  17. I’m in the process of applying for a restricted O licence. I needed something to tow the mill and carry a 60kva generator etc. The solution I’ve gone with is a Daf urban tractor unit converted to carry the generator and tow the mill both of which it will do comfortably rather than right on the limit. I’ve had my artic licence for years so that was not a worry but I’m still down rating the unit to 7.5t just for the cheaper road tax. The level of red tape to do anything nowadays is suffocating but unfortunately no way around it as I saw it. I think the thought of starting the process is worse than the actual task itself.
  18. I’m sure Tescos and others including oil producers will be looking at this and thinking about maximising profit already. Not sure if anyone took much notice at the recent announcement regarding huge profits at Tesco There’s nothing like a manufactured over over hyped crisis to boost shareholder dividends it would seem. Tesco profits surge as inflation falls ‘substantially’ WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK Latest data reveal grocery price increases are at their lowest level in two years Tesco says price pressures easing as profits soar - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK The UK's biggest supermarket chain made annual pre-tax profits of nearly £2.3bn up...
  19. No chance Shallow so blast will go up in the main.
  20. Explosives-filled shipwreck has safety work delayed as objects found WWW.BBC.CO.UK The SS Richard Montgomery's explosive cargo has been lying on the Thames Estuary bed for... A job and a half to sort this out. I’d say it’s literally impossible to put a price on what it would cost to get that to an ALARP level that would satisfy all stakeholders and signed off.
  21. ‘Honour-based’ abuse in England increases 60% in two years | Society | The Guardian AMP.THEGUARDIAN.COM Global political influence may make assault and forced marriage more frequent and severe, say experts If something like this was in any way attributable to the mysterious so called far right I keep hearing about in the UK it would be headline news
  22. Muslim honour attacks,killings and subsequent assistance from within the same community 🤷‍♂️oops is that a hate crime nowadays.
  23. Shoplifting crackdown to include £55m for facial recognition tools in England and Wales APPLE.NEWS Mobile units will be deployed on high streets to identify wanted people – including repeat offenders Im not sure if I buy the whole shoplifting excuse.
  24. Labour floats plan to boost HMRC headcount by 5,000 WWW.CIVILSERVICEWORLD.COM Rachel Reeves says crackdown on tax gap will raise £5bn a year for NHS and schools A sign of things to come 👍
  25. I’m just being cheeky Mark, it’s not directed at you.
