  1. PR firm is paid £500,000 for just 38 days' work to promote SNP's hated Low Emission Zones WWW-DAILYMAIL-CO-UK.CDN.AMPPROJECT.ORG A PUBLIC relations firm was handed a contract worth an astonishing £508,000 for 38...
  2. Labour offers MPs peerages to step down APPLE.NEWS Labour MPs including Diane Abbott have been offered peerages to stand down and make way for Sir... And remind me what the Labour logo is this time around “ Change “. Doesn’t look like much is going to change at all in reality, mind you maybe this is what labour mean when they talk about reforming the House of Lords 🤔
  3. So Trump has been saying stuff about Biden that is not true or at least he has no evidence or proof of is that what you are saying 🤔. Well quite frankly if that is true then the lying prick deserves everything that he gets. I’m sure most people will agree you can’t just go around making malicious accusations against people without at least some evidence.
  4. You did eh and the medical report 😜
  5. Well you didn’t get very far with the “ don’t mention Trump” 🤷‍♂️I shouldn’t be suprised at you not answering the question. On a serious note you must be the only person I’ve ever heard say there is no story when it comes to joes obvious mental decline. We won’t even go there on his behaviour in regard little girls eh SP At least Trump likes them to be out of school.
  6. Come on then, do you think he is 100% ok and mentally tip top to be president of the USA and regarding the SOTU address, you saw nothing unusual in his speech,behaviour, demeanour etc ! Try not to mention Trump in your reply. PS Did you actually take the time to read that. 😂 Special counsel alleged Biden couldn't recall personal milestones. His response: 'My memory is fine' APNEWS.COM President Joe Biden is angrily denying claims in a special counsel's report that... There’s some more bed time entertainment for you. Of course it’s all Trumps doing.
  7. 😂😂now now you said what meds not me !! https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Health-Summary-2.16.pdf You wint find the good stuff he had before the SOTU address on there, Hunter probably gets that for him. Definitely got old Joe wired up whatever it was.
  8. Ah my number one fan, I’m starting to think Les might be right. Watch the state of the union address and compare it to any other of his incoherent ramblings, you getting defensive due to your own recollection issues ?
  9. Taking his meds most of the time, I don’t think he’s any idea what he’s been up to neither. Plenty of evidence around of what ( the big man ) he did in the past decades as a politician to expand the Biden family fortune.
  10. Somewhat like Obama did with the Crimea and Clinton’s part in Ukraine relinquishing its Nuclear weapons 🤔. Any idea of the profits involved for the international and US arms industry every time a country joins NATO and has to get its kit up to spec ??. Pretty sure Trump warned the Germans ( and was laughed at) about being reliant on Russia for gas and the same with the European NATO members, ie get your hands in your wealthy pockets and contribute a bit more. We sit here in the UK worrying about utter trivialities whilst in reality we are as woefully prepared as we ever have been to defend ourselves.
  11. Well if it comes to character advice I’m not sure you are the one to give it in any way shape or form. It’s reassuring to know you have everything sussed out 👍👍 Well apart from a couple of minor items on another thread but hey ho, I’d actually say you have a bit in common with old Donald when it comes to personal interpretation of things 🤔
  12. No problem, who would want peace and prosperity after all 🤷‍♂️
  13. You need to get out a bit more
  14. 74 million “ crazies apparently “.
  15. Not really been up to much lately what with work etc and in reality with the fact I literally parked up the new mill after the first few times using it. To say it was a pain in the arse would be an understatement. First of I’ll just say those who are getting along fine with electric Trakmets 👍if you are happy “great”, mine was bought to cut large hardwoods not softwood. Blade speed was ridiculous, running at 1800m/min, combine that with the supplied x cuts which I detest and the result was very very poor cuts bordering on useless in fact, blade diving and losing tension ie heating up, just no consistency at all. On my old Trakmet I could turn the engine RPM down to suit, not ideal as you went out the peak torque curve but it did allow some flexibility. Ended up fitting a VFD with potentiometer ( which in my opinion they should be fitted with as standard) cost including fitting was nearly 4K on top of machine price, and let’s face it Trakmet are not cheap mills anymore. Spent last couple of days testing on DF, Elm and Ash and so far the difference is night and day, I’ve swapped to Woodmizer double hard blades in 4, 7 and 10 degrees. Cut all day today and had zero build up on the blade, no diving or loss of tension etc just consistent repeat cuts. Still a ways to go and hopefully getting down to Triggers to get into some big Oak and Ash which should give it the test I want. If anyone is looking at buying and plans hitting the big hardwoods I’d seriously recommend the VFD option. I mounted the box myself but had a proper sparky wire it in, way above my 3 pin plug skill level. Little update, got a piece of Ash on the mill today not the biggest at 600 mm max but still a decent log and plenty of moisture, had mill turned down to 1300m/min and using a 4 degree double hard, cut lovely with no hassle at all, nice coarse saw dust, wasn’t pushing it hard at all but very pleased with how it just chewed through 👍

    Mark how long have I been saying that for bud Love em or hate em the Americans with the jones act are already building heavy lift vessels as per the pic you posted. Zero vision or long term strategy here, all we get fed is the shit about thousands of skilled green jobs and how we are world leaders in the renewable game 🤷‍♂️utter tosh mate
  17. postage to Dyce is ok, postage to Turriff is classed as the Highlands and is hit with the subsequent hike in costs. How did the greenheart go in the end ? I milled a few myself which came out lovely. I saw the replacement timber Bobby had delivered to use up there, nice stuff it looked.

    Cracking deal, paid to produce and paid not too. No wonder the overseas companies are keen to put the wind farms in.

    Oh yes Mark the set up is all wrong ref the take old Chuck gets bud, I must admit it’s a great gig if you can swing it eh. Absolutely wrong in every sense. Realistically I know it gets filtered through the system but it’s certainly a throwback to earlier times imo.

    Agreed The light pollution from just one at New Deer is nuts. I do wonder how this would go down if it was ran through the Surrey countryside or one of the other prime locations down south.

    The wind farms are all along the east coast moray east, moray west, sea green etc etc a licence to print money. Sadly the politicians in particular the green idiots in Scotland have given this environmental disaster the green light up here.

    The scale of what’s going on up here is probably far greater than people realise. SSE are playing a very clever, cynical corporate game. Zero f…s given about the locals.
  23. Easy bud it’s a coffee not a date night 😳
  24. I’ve never seen it bud To tell the truth Mark I’m not a big Brand fan .( prefer Neil Oliver) but did wonder where all the hype had gone when 42 brought him up, Christ they went on like he was the next Jimmy Saville for a while. Apart from LI and arbtalk I don’t really give social media much of my time, there’s enough shite between that two to be getting on with. Anyway I’m down in Lynemouth in a week or so, you can buy me a coffee in true socialist worker fashion. Or bill it to the company as I would.
