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.

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.
-
To be honest Les it might be just as easy to chainsaw mill it on site if it’s a one off cut 🤷♂️

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
-
lol yeah if that goes pop it will be a quick way to go
-
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.

5 years is it 😞doesn’t time fly when your enjoying yourself.

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 👍
-
Another one assuming, guys you are obviously bored. Go and crack one out or something and have an early night.
-
That’s you assuming again I see either that or you lead a blinkered existence

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.

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.

Pretty sure equine passports and registration has been around for years although as with many things it’s only the law abiding that comply.

Tax offshore in North Sea is unavoidable.
-
A lot of egg on a lot of faces me thinks if that ever gains traction.
-
The fins are on the rack nowadays. Dive control and supervising. 30 plus years of getting wet was plenty.
-
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.
-
I average 4-5 months a year off at home, I’ve worked on jobs close to home doing 8-10-12hr shifts. You are up and away before kids are up and back late. Eat sleep work 🤮absolutely crap. As much as it has its disadvantages it’s worked well enough for me.
-
Do you have much real life experience rather than google and statistics?. Those numbers are crap. I don’t know anyone who does a 35-40hr week, I guess a lot depends on who you associate with in regards most people you meet. Most people I know are grafting hard and making good money, often 100k plus. Are they rich,absolutely not, what they are is hard working people who have trained themselves up and often as not sacrifice time with family etc to pull in good money. Those sacrifices unfortunately are not reflected in the brutal levels of taxation we are hit with.
-
You obviously do. Contractors all over the country in different trades or disciplines. Forget Oil and Gas, construction, welding, lifting ops, aerospace engineering, IT, finance etc etc, guys who work away from home banging in 7x12hr shifts a week, Hinckley for example 🤷♂️. None of these will get the belter NHS pension neither. Doctors and Consultants are the only ones you know !! Conditions 42 “ seriously” I’d say the conditions they work under are better than 99% of the workforce. To be honest the amount of 100k plus people in the NHS, Police and Civil service etc is huge. Try the middle of the winter in the outer Hebrides living in a bunkabin and you will know what harsh conditions are. By the way everyone I know is pissed off big time about the level of taxation on hard working people in this country “ worse in Scotland “ , apart from the ones you know apparently.
-
It doesn’t matter, it’s still not huge, I’m not condoning the cost of living or the current government. My instincts are conservative but this government is far from that. Less tax for those lower down would benefit everybody.
-
Maybe so but many are not, the point is it’s not huge at all nowadays. The tax bands are a joke we all know that. 50k is not in anyway a “top earner” wage
-
Labour calls Jeremy Hunt 'desperately out of touch' after Chancellor says £100,000 is 'not a huge salary' APPLE.NEWS Labour has called Jeremy Hunt "desperately out of touch" for claiming that £100,000 is not a... He’s not far wrong in reality, it’s a cracking wage but not huge by any means after tax and NI are factored in.
-
No change I see you are doing what you always do 🤷♂️presume you know something then answer your own question as if its been confirmed somehow 😂laughable.
-
No posturing 42 and I’m more than capable of ignoring shit, like I did with you right said fred remark a while back. But I will call our utter crap no problem at all. Thanks for the life advice but quite frankly 🖕
