Couldn’t be any worse than the Middle East role Blair took after the trail of destruction he left whilst hunting for the elusive WMDs 🤔.

Definitely worth it, as an example the pics are of a fireplace surround a neighbour made out of some pippy oak i milled up, shame you couldn’t get it onto a bandsaw as the options for what you can get out of it might be a tad better. Looks like it would give some decent beams.

Ouch 😞low blow that one eggs.

Or people are not being allowed to keep enough of the £40k due to an excess of various open and hidden taxes. As I’ve said more than once, you are hammered in the UK ( worse in Scotland) if you try and get on.

Slabbed up a “ absolutely no steel in it” big beech as a favour for a farmer friend, hit steel on every single pass luckily the stellite tipped x cut blades coped but quite frankly it was a total waste of a day.

Over half of households get more from the State than they pay in tax | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK For the first time, more than half of households - 36 million people - get more from the Government... Without getting into a blame game type scenario surely the above is not sustainable long term. More pertinent is, what’s the solution or alternative??. I’m pretty sure the current path is not the correct one that’s for sure.

If you want to discuss purely covid matters put it in the vaccine thread rather than selectively quote part of a post here and I’ll happily reply,

There are undoubtedly worse ways to spend a Sunday morning.

I quoted at the very beginning it was not intended to derail the thread. The similarities between the two examples of people changing history have been mentioned before not just by myself along with the incredible amount of people in post war France that claimed to be active with the resistance when in reality it was a tiny percentage of the population. Keep your totally unwarranted, incorrect and not needed get a grip advice for those whom panicked,complied meekly and defended the restrictions etc etc vociferously. if the cap fits wear it. I’ll leave it at that.
-
Not intending to derail the thread at all but I think the post war myth has evolved where most of the French were apparently in the resistance were they not, somewhat like the post covid views by many upon the validity of lockdowns etc. Brno made arms for the Nazi war machine post occupation if I’m not wrong.

Well you’ve been icky with the Rangers I’d say, I’m on my second 3.2 wildtrack and both have been in way way too much for my liking. The current one has had the chassis swapped as part of that scheme and is due back in as it’s lit up on the dash like a Xmas tree again. There’s a 69 plate3.2 wildtrack just gone into the ferry this morning at Lochmaddy on a trailer to Inverness with a fully lit up dash too and the engine in no start mode. 140k 😳😳maybe the top of the range dually 4wd monsters but if anyone is daft enough to pay it I guess they will take it. Couple of examples on eBay at either end of scale but going the personal import route would drastically reduce that cost if you were serious. Plenty others out there for sensible money. Anyway no rhd so im goosed. It’s just a shame we don’t have a tough as old boots grunty simple graft type of pick up option in UK anymore.
-
Why would it be a vanity look at me pick up??, I’ve a workmate who has a business running RIB tours he has a couple of wildtrack 3.2s and a 5.9 Cummins engined LHD “Yankee effort” he’s had tons of issues with both rangers neither one of which has past 100k yet the Ram has done nearly 200k in his hands most of which has been towing and has never ever missed a beat. If anything the current crop of higher spec jazzed up pick ups including wildtrack models etc are marketed as more of a lifestyle look at me type truck than a genuine workhorse. If I could get one in RHD I’d have one tomorrow.

No Mull Never had a round through it, I can shoot 22lr on my own property but not the 17hmr and trips out have always been with 223 or 308 hence why this and the 243 are sitting idle. Regards the CZ for you Mull I’d take £450 for the rifle,mod and rounds which is a substantial saving on new.

Lol 😂 0200 ish Les 🤔. Eggs will have to keep that as his and his alones fantasy I’m afraid.

You see that burn just behind the trees Andy 🤔. Only kidding bud, I’m putting floorboards down and building a shed out of that DF I have that will extend off the other roof etc, got an extraction unit to set up with a flexible hose etc. There’s more room than it looks in pic between saw and tree line too. Unfortunately work is getting in the way of the important stuff.

How you finding it in use !!, I’ve a little 130max project slowly taking shape and did look at that set up, easy enough to fit I take it. Loving the power up and down on the head 👍👍

He’s been right on the mark since the beginning.

You seen the video of the Pfizer CEO being collared by some journalists at Davos ??. You’d have to be literally off your head to take any of these boosters in my humble opinion.

Couple of unfired so as new rifles, CZ455 16” 17hmr Varmint profile, synthetic if anyone is fancying one after the previous discussion 🤔, wildcat mod included and 7 boxes of ammo. Scope and Bipod not included. Howa 243 Varmint with aim sport triton mod in a GRS stock, 5-6 boxes of various weight 243,scope and bipod not included, pretty sure I’ve got the legacy DM kit for the 243 somewhere too.

Shame for the north east and cambios in particular Mark. Blyth port is doing ok as a staging point for the wind farms but still only a tiny drop of what it should be. Crazy we can blow billions on a farce like covid yet can not put a long term half sensible strategy in place covering a multitude of different areas of industry that are undoubtedly crucial to our future as a nation.

In the current soft woke excuse for everything world we live in no i would not want to be a teacher under any circumstances. I’d love to be looking at a good pension at the end of my time though. There are some very well looked after people in the public sector in general but you makes your choices as they say.

Striking teachers need a harsh lesson on the true value of their pay packets APPLE.NEWS Union figures ignore the value of generous defined benefit pensions Whilst I understand may of the grievances I do wonder if a spell of self employment would be an eye opener for many of the huge pubic sector workforce.

What about the periods when we have no or low wind ?. We need a balance of options unfortunately currently especially in Scotland it’s a mad ideologically driven irrational rush to renewables at all cost, with the vast majority of the profits and jobs going overseas.
-
Absolutely disgusting and in the meantime political types of all parties pump out the lie to the general public about the UK being a renewables powerhouse 🤷♂️.
