'The establishment have won': Iain Dale's attack on media 'stitch-up' in Tory campaign APPLE.NEWS The print media and journalists 'should be ashamed of themselves' for the 'tripe' they circulated... No I’d not disagree with much of what you posted. The blatantly biased press. coverage has assisted in the two candidates we now see being in the position to run for the PM job. Neither of which I think would have been the people or the Conservative party members choice.

🤷♂️Not a clue what your on about.

I try my best to set up with wind at my back if possible. Woodland mills are set up well in as much as you ain’t on the same side as the discharge when operating the mill, there’s a few bigger manufacturers could learn a thing or two from that. I do carry a mask but only wear it at an absolute push.

Might be worth putting up a couple of pics of the actual logs, that will give the guys whom have done a bit of milling a better idea of the work involved. Lot of waste and graft with a chainsaw mill if it’s a decent quantity of logs to mill.

Telford scandal: Over 1,000 girls abused and raped by Asian gangs while police looked the other way WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK Plus, survivor Samantha Smith waives her anonymity to speak to The Telegraph about her years of... How many more examples of this which, more than likely is in reality just the tip of the iceberg are we yet to see. Multi cultural Britain at its best.

Been looking around online at blade options for cutting wide slabs of hardwood ie Oak,Elm,Ash etc, I’ve done pretty well so far with cuts up to 1100mm wide with standard 10/30s or the X Cut Stellite tipped (great to get you through a cut if you hit steel). Doing a bit of research and seen a good few articles mainly from the US regarding using 4 degree blades where they have been complimentary about the consistency and finish etc. I often find a wide cut with 10/30s will leave behind a lot of sawdust and if you are not careful with the water feed rate you can easily clog up the cut and generate heat and end up with blade dive issues or a really gummed up dirty blade. Quality and consistency of cut and board finish is what I’m more concerned about than out and out speed of cut. Although I’d not want to be crawling through especially if out on hire. Blade size on the saw is 4800x38x1.1mm. Just wondering if anyone had tried any ?.

Prince Charles honoured tycoon Lord Brownlow who bailed out his eco-village APPLE.NEWS The Prince of Wales gave an honour to a controversial Tory peer who spent £1.7 million bailing out his... Looks like the gloves are off for old Chuck with the media. Maybe he’d be better off taking some nice accommodation in the grounds of Windsor Castle as his brothers done to live out the last few years of his already utterly pampered life in peace, and let William jump the line of succession.

Previously done the same on Elm stumps and produced some nice cookies, They never hung around long enough for me to see how they dried out over time.

A lot of good Bands on the smaller stages put in some great performances, Inhaler in particular smashed it. We try for tickets every year but to honest when the headliners were announced for this year it was a bit of a relief that we didn’t get any.

Charles accepted €1m cash in suitcase from sheikh APPLE.NEWS The Prince of Wales accepted a suitcase containing €1 million in cash from a controversial Qatari... That’s the way to do it Mark J, a few million in carrier bags you then drop into a charity used to fund your projects and estate in Scotland 🙄. I knew I’d been going wrong somewhere.

I will, back onshore for a few days and I must admit I’m enjoying watching the RMT leader wipe the floor with the fools from said MSM. Mind you he’s still not a patch on Bob Crow

He was unelectable Mark regardless of the few good ideas he may have had. The current crop from all parties lack any long term vision or ideas for the good of this country unfortunately. Bickering and slagging each other off just turns people off from the whole show. Starmer has to be the most uninspiring whiny ineffectual opposition leader I can remember.

Basket-case Britain is the definitive proof lockdown was an epic mistake WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK The strikes, inflation, decay and incompetence: all are direct costs of the decision to shut down... Throw in the predominately incompetent current crop of short term focussed politicians including an absolutely uninspiring pathetically led opposition and quite frankly it’s no wonder things are in a poor state.

I’ll bear that in mind, although I’ve managed just fine for a little while now, I use OEM or better components when doing work and don’t even attempt splitting a crank as it’s just easier to get a crank and rod kit. Piston nipped up on the exhaust port side it would seem looking at pics. A 125 with a good aggressive rider takes an absolute hammering during a race, the number of DNFs we’ve had is not even in double figures and that’s with 4 sons racing and myself over the years. There’s loads of experts in the paddock too I’ve often found, Often dishing out advice or talking bollocks depending on how you look at it to the guys whom have issues of which there is always a handful on any race day, end of the day even in F1 if you race and thrash kit you will get breakdowns, that’s just an accepted part of it.

No idea I’m offshore but he’s hard on them for sure. , I’ll get a look once back. Define a long time !!, over the years I’ve had several well maintained 125.s let go whilst racing including Gilera , Suzuki, KTM and Yamaha’s , and 1 250f that was on a regime of a piston every 15hrs but never a 500 2t or 450f that’s dating back to racing ( new air filter every race, all engine and or gearbox oils changed every meeting so in reality 1hrs run time) since the early 80s and using bikes since mid to late 70s.

Goosed Les Probs thick end of a grand to sort, fast but fragile but I guess any 125 2stroke MX bike is gonna fit into that category.
-
Awesome bit of kit the likes of which we definitely won’t see again. A good investment too, easy 20k plus nowadays. Talking of 2 strokes the lads 125 KTM has nipped up big time, another job once onshore.

You been to Glasgow lately Andy !!.

UK CRUSHING Putin's twisted invasion by providing right weapons - Zelenskyy APPLE.NEWS VOLODYMYR Zelenskyy has thanked Prime Minister Boris Johnson for “complete”... Credit where credit is due it would seem. I couldn’t write the the opinions of the guys I know in Ukraine about the actions or lack of them from the Germans and French.

I have no threads of mine as you put it. He is not my man. Horsfalls words are indeed not gospel they are as I stated his opinion. Me personally I’ll never forget nor will my utter contempt and disgust diminish at the actions, words and behaviour of many politicians and individuals over the past two years.
-
Maybe so but it’s his opinion and he’s entitled to it.

Whilst I’m no fan of the current socialist spendthrift type path of the Tory party , the remarks of this no nonsense or bullshit type of individual are quite apt. Although I’m sure you’ll no doubt disagree.
