  1. No thanks Mark I’m too far to the right for that. Although I did consider the vessel dive rep slot at one point but the attitude of the area RMT rep was shit bud big time.
  2. I have mark on a number of occasions
  3. I’m an RMT member Mark ( for now) Mick Lynch doesn’t give a shit about nothing except train crews bud, certainly no ****************s given about the seafarers or offshore members.
  4. Novak Djokovic battles back from the brink to lift Adelaide title WWW-INDEPENDENT-CO-UK.CDN.AMPPROJECT.ORG The Serbian battled back to triumph 6-7 (8) 7-6 (3) 6-4 against Sebastian Korda. That must have been a bitter pill for the jobsworth scum who enjoyed the briefest of tv moments last time around when they booted him out of Australia. As good as example of the madness that was covid that you will get.
  5. He was like plenty of guys ie did his tours and got on with his life etc 🤷‍♂️Now he’s making millions by amongst other things describing how he sent 25 Muslims off to the land of the virgins, I’d hazard a guess and say that’s put him on the radar of a good few potential enemies, as Rushdie found out recently they are not of the forgive and forget variety. Maybe it’s not so wafty at all. I bet his protection team were cringing when that story broke.
  6. I’d say he has 100% increased the risk to himself and his family.
  7. It’s a well understood and long standing code of behaviour within British forces that he has broken, myself I’ve absolutely never ever heard anyone I know give a figure from any op. Harry has proper messed up this time.
  8. Nothing exciting just slogging out a cut list of DF including a rake of 200x200 4.9s, cold and muddy underfoot but at least no rain. Good opportunity to try a few mods including a secondary supply set up I’ve fitted that allows external hyd supply to be plumbed in, worked really really well giving flow and speed not shy of the 3 phase set ups, the brace fitted to the end of the arm and running on a linear bearing also went well. It can be removed in 2 mins if you need the extra 180mm width it stops you from using.
  9. I don’t forget anything Eggs, UK corruption was out of control over the last couple of years ( not surprising when they saw how easy people were duped) but we can at least vote them out occasionally unlike many within the EU, you wanted a debate on the back of moonbats standard type response not me. Yeah I do Eggs two cousins are ambulance paramedics ( one of whom served at same time as me in the army) and another aunt was a nurse until very recently. They all without exception complain about much but I can assure you it’s not all directed at politicians, management and the sheer amount of levels of it in particular come in for some serious criticism. The biggest change the one who served with me mentioned was the increase in the last 25 plus years of the size of some of the people they now have to try and move around.
  10. What link did I post tonight Eggs other than the article about EU corruption ??? NHS is absolutely in dire straights management and waste wise. You seen the staff numbers and annual budget not to mention the vast number of huge management salaries etc etc !!! . Throwing more and more money and staff at it is blatantly not working. I don’t have the answers to all the NHS problems nor do I think my opinion or views will alter much, yearning for the return of free movement and thus cheap labour is in my opinion a sticking plaster repair. I’ve just checked back over the relevant posts tonight since you came in after Moonbat Dempsey in case I’d inadvertently posted a link and had a total brain fart and forgot 🤔.
  11. What will my opinion change so I’ll refrain from wobbling anything. NHS needs far more than more money and staff !!
  12. Don’t concern yourself with so called wobbles Eggs. How many care home staff were sacked during covid?? , sacked by policies vocally supported by some prominent arb talk royalty. Did you expect the streets to be paved with gold the next day ?? EU in its current form is a cancer eggs slowly destroying the nations it supposedly is made up of. They make no secret of a desire for ever more integration and ultimately centralised control.
  13. NHS is indeed a shockingly badly managed wasteful money pit. Once again lack of training and investment in our own people. How will what I think or don’t, change anything 🤷‍♂️
  14. And !! You think the French are playing ball or are they happy to just move them along. Straight from beach to Rwanda 👍imagine the bleeding heart liberal howls of outrage. I’ll give you a positive Eggs, for years the firm we use to mob/demob vessels was made up of a predominantly Eastern European team with jock foreman, since Brexit we are seeing the mix change to incorporate local lads doing apprenticeships etc, speaking to the contract manager of the fabrication outfit concerned he stated 100% if they could they’d go back to running with agency personnel on an adhoc basis. Far far cheaper and thus a higher profit margin. “ just as it was for years ie zero investment in skills of our own people.
  15. There’s you like a bitch in heat again Dempsey, “ Suckers” ffs your track record over the past two years would definitely say you are prone to gobbling shit on an industrial scale ( Hiding behind your moonbat comment) . Actually, I’d happily back the UK to be part of the common market etc, it’s the other ever bigger more intrusive superstate no borders bollocks that resulted in Brexit. Hence the sensible words comment. Currently post covid farce and mid Ukraine conflict, the Brexit thing has indeed done little of what it might but it was at the end of the day a democratic decision. There will be a general election at some point, for those who ain’t happy that will be an opportunity to show it.
  16. EU splits open as Hungary, Italy and Poland call for bloc reform | World | News | Express.co.uk WWW-EXPRESS-CO-UK.CDN.AMPPROJECT.ORG Sensible words I’d say.
  17. The latter part in particular of your post is 100% correct Andy. I’ve seen it since the 41% at 43k increase and now up to 42% plus C4 NI 🤔” no thanks” rather than pay 51% of my wages to the snp/green lgbtq+, nanny state I’ll take the foot off the pedal trip wise and stay at home more ( I know from my own circles I’m not alone in this) . They will learn the hard way that there is a limit to how far you can squeeze people. I’m pretty sure the idea of a fit,healthy, aspirational, personally responsible population terrifies most politicians
  18. Man ‘facing £7,000 energy bill’ after heat pump switch WWW-INDEPENDENT-CO-UK.CDN.AMPPROJECT.ORG Steve Mason, 58, spent thousands on the new system and says he has seen his bills rocket despite his... Bit like the drive to buy diesel vehicles a few year back, or all kids go to uni etc etc
  19. Spain becomes second European country to introduce Covid checks on passengers from China APPLE.NEWS Several countries have introduced fresh Covid checks after China lifted its stringent zero Covid... What’s the bloody point as we know the vaccines do not prevent infection or stop transmission 🤷‍♂️ Or is this China just biding it’s time and throwing out a pile of more chaos to generate another hysterical or not depending on how you look at it reaction.
  20. Sudden Russian Death Syndrome APPLE.NEWS It’s not a great time to be an oligarch who’s unenthusiastic about Putin’s war in Ukraine. Everything’s got a name nowadays 😳
  21. China’s Covid nightmare is the final proof: lockdowns were a total failure WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK Sweden’s refusal to impose compulsory shutdowns has now, by contrast, been completely... 😞An excellent and very honest article. So true and yet sad because in reality it’s a bloody catastrophe that could have been easily avoided, in particular the closing of schools at the behest of the unions. At least the author has the strength of character to admit he was wrong himself. Those responsible should hang their heads in shame. Those who bought into it should be demanding answers from the aforementioned and apologising wholeheartedly to anyone who was vilified, abused and even unbelievably convicted and fined during the whole sorry show. The word Moonbat is probably more applicable to those whom were duped rather than those who used a bit of the old grey matter and simply threw in some critical thinking along the way rather than believe every line of shit they were fed.
  22. Dover Border Force official arrested — for being an illegal migrant APPLE.NEWS EXCLUSIVE 😞🤷‍♂️
  23. On a civil note Mick I had the 2 litre biturbo as a courtesy vehicle when my 3.2 was having its chassis swapped. I can’t complain in regards power or towing ability which was hands down superior to the 3.2 manual but the fuel consumption was terrible, when towing my Trakmet mill I was averaging 19mpg on a run from Aberdeen to Inverness.
  24. Russian businessman who criticised Ukraine invasion dies after falling from window of luxury hotel APPLE.NEWS A Russian businessman who criticised the invasion of Ukraine has died after falling from a... Russian millionaires critical of Putin 🤔They seem to be better at making money than they do at navigating balconies or opening widows of hotels.
  25. Lol well the adblu service required and engine no start warning just disappeared one morning on mine , latest batch of lights is akin to a sensor fault I’ve had previously but with a few more add ons. Throw in some nav and reversing camera malfunctions since it’s been back from chassis swap etc the whole lot was enough for me to flip the lid with Ford customer service. Trucks back in on 29th for another full diagnostic which is just a huge pita. My gut feeling is loom is damaged somewhere which is not unheard of with the rangers in general and in particular after the chassis swap.
