  1. Good to see the mill is still going strong Bill Hopefully it’s been a good tool for you 👍👍
  2. Have I missed something 🤷‍♂️someone die or get injured 🤷‍♂️. Regards Stubbys investment there’s no loss of potential earnings until he sells and seeing as he’s still in the black and has all his original capital intact none of that has happened. Your condolences because the stock market can go down as well as up are rather ridiculous quite frankly.
  3. Yes and no Les more no in reality 😆this model is a much more capable machine by a country mile, but I do miss the simplicity of the previous one. If I’m honest Les I’d say the first Trakmet I had was far better built, not that this one isn’t just the other one was spot on everywhere, I think as they have got bigger the quality control might have slipped a bit. The retrofitting of a VFD was absolutely the best thing I did on this one, basically transformed the machine . I’m currently running at 35hz as opposed to 50hz which gives an equivalent percentage reduction in blade speed, the speed of cut and consistency is 100% improved. I pretty much parked it up for 6 months whilst waiting for the vfd after purchasing as it wouldn’t cut big hardwood for shit, I had a rather heated conversation with the importer on the subject, anyone looking to buy a Trakmet should insist the VFD is fitted at the factory imo. I’ve a solution for the generator and towing being worked on Les as it’s a heavy bugger even for my 3.2 Ranger vanity van.
  4. Couple of days milling some lovely spalted beech for a proper decent client ( Non stop fresh coffee on both days) , beautiful location and weather. Quite close to home so not too far to drag everything with my totally unnecessary vanity van.
  5. #politics | James Harvey WWW.LINKEDIN.COM The Labour Party again trying to brush the r@pe scandal under the carpet, petrified to upset their... Whilst the media and the left is utterly obsessed with Trump, Labour is doing its utmost to make sure certain unpalatable truths never come out. Before the normal ATL apologists start commenting I’d suggest they listen to the article all the way through. At the other end of the twisted moral spectrum that this government operates in they are happy to spy on pensioners bank accounts.
  6. 😂😂😂Now now Mark. I often see the grammar police ( or indeed people being called out by certain wallpapers for using the edit facility) at work on here and don’t really pay it much attention but for SP I can make an exception. Trumpy Besty Edity 😞🤷‍♂️ Talking of childish antics.
  7. Can the ATL spelling/grammar police give your team mate some assistance 👍 Also for some reason the letter “ y” is appearing randomly.
  8. Subjects been covered before Gareth, SP is an expert on this topic and it’s replacement “clean green energy” those of us in the industry apparently know nothing compared to the anonymous individual on arbtalk. I suppose when you commute by train daily the ramifications of lunacy such as the proposed 2030 ban on petrol and diesel car sales don’t worry you too much. I bet the educated money is on private jets and armoured limos still being used at the multiple meetings the ruling elite “ need” to attend every year.
  9. Starmer promises 'bold changes' to rules over electric cars in wake of Trump's tariffs APPLE.NEWS The prime minister confirms a 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars but announces... The man is so out of touch with the reality of every day life it’s laughable.
  10. There’s a huge cultural difference between Asian and African labour practices , anyone who’s spent any time or worked there will know that for a fact. I’ll be long gone as will my children and grandchildren and oil will still be around.
  11. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷‍♂️
  12. Looks like Der Starmer has had a change of heart
  13. I try to be fair and respectful with people I work with and or interact with on a daily basis. Whether they like me or not is neither here nor there to me, as for being accepted 🤷‍♂️. Would I lose any sleep over the opinions of individuals I don’t even know the name of have never met or what they actually do in life, apart from what I see on an online forum Absolutely not, life’s too bloody short.
  14. Just for clarity is this the definition of “ on the hook” you are on about ? 😂😂feels like this is going down the lines of a trans woman is a woman route. Am I brave enough to open a poll 😂😂😂😂😂Do whatever you need to do 42 if it makes you feel more fulfilled. Your team mate SP mentioned a poll a while back, is this the fearsome weapon to beat all others. Would I not have to give a **************** for that to count 🤔 Why would I forget anything 🤷‍♂️one thing I do know is posting up all the time with a bunch of like minded head nodders would get very boring very quickly. I don’t really class myself as a veteran but you get the idea eh 👍👍 Just an afterthought 42 I’d never really given it any thought but if coming onto an online forum ( anonymously if you desire) in your opinion requires a level of bravery then it’s no surprise we don’t look at life through the same lens.
  15. No thanks Life ain’t that tedious yet
  16. Jack@depression2019 🤷‍♂️ Christ if that shite was posted up by anyone other than an ATL stalwart it would be instantly under the scrutiny of the SP validation service.
  17. He definitely doesn’t give a **************** for sure. Starmer admitting globalisation has failed, the odd comment on “ re industrialisation being floated around 🤔 In the meantime we have the same ones making the all the noise about Trump supporting the lunacy of Labour here. Just the same old Left v Right, nothing more. 4 years of defending or silence about a mentally disabled Biden 100 days of howling about Trump.
  18. I don’t think so 🤷‍♂️ The person refusing to answer a question or disclose any information would generally be considered the one “ on the hook” apparently not in this case. We won’t ever agree on much Mick as well you know. I dare say if a different person had asked the question you may well be offering a different opinion.
  19. I could but I’m a stubborn c..t Mick and fine with it. He’s got plenty to say often about my own situation including my job and taxation etc “ I’d rather not say” would allow him to wriggle off the hook.
  20. Very true Mick, some like yourself are open and stick up the odd pic etc etc as do I. Some choose to remain totally anonymous 🤷‍♂️that is a personal choice, on the other hand if you have an opinion on a topic like the Double can pick up taxation changes for example ( actually in the case of SP on most things ) to the extent you are creating hypothetical turnover and vehicle use scenarios to justify your point of view then it’s not unreasonable to ask from what perspective you are looking at it. Obviously in this instance SP does not want to say 🤷‍♂️. Rather than piss about avoiding the question at all costs just come out with it like an adult and admit “id rather not say”. Surely that’s far better than playing dumb when the question is asked.
  21. I think you’ve said a few times now how super chilled and laid back you “apparently” are 🤔
  22. Angry man today 😡🤔self loathing maybe 🤷‍♂️
  23. Why thank you J 🙏 I shall openly admit I did speak to yourself offline for advice on a number of issues prior to purchasing for which I’m very grateful.
  24. You actually checked it out 😞😞ffs lad.
