  1. Firewood rescue pile Andy 🤷‍♂️😃. Yeah ref the marks it’s all I’ve ever known with the mill so don’t really take much notice to tell truth.
  2. That’s Beech I’m cutting right now. The lines are visible 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ always have been from day one. I’d say just mill with it and then sort the imperfections out later once timber has dried if they are an issue. On a similar note that’s the worst bit of blade deflection I’ve had with this mill, Elm and a hard to soft patch, blade tension is spot on but it just went on a right wander 🤷‍♂️.
  3. So Mark As is common practice on here, can you tell us what you would you have the UK do ??. Totally agree in many ways but if 1 rogue state has Nuclear weapons then 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Shit as it is I think it would be MAD not to have it.

    Covid-19

    Reality is at this point J I’d say most people having given it their best shot for best part of a year on and off are now in the frame of mind that they are going along with some of the restrictions but ignoring those that are blatantly causing more harm than good. The easing of the restrictions and the subsequent list of can and can’t dos will I think be mainly implemented in politicians heads. I’m maybe seeing a different attitude being in a rural environment in Aberdeenshire which has had low numbers all the way through for obvious reasons, but most individuals ie Farmers, Tree guys etc etc i come across are not even paying lip service to them.

    Morning Mull, Hows the head?. No not pissed off why would I be ?? I’m married to a jock bird and know she can occasionally talk shite when drunk ( mind you not with the regularity you achieve on fri/sat nights ) Yeah as you seem to want to keep mentioning it is indeed a wood forum but as is the norm there are parts of it utilised to discuss other subjects ie Covid in this case. Anyway I’ve a load of milling to be getting on with today so I’ll leave you to it.

    Wakey wakey Mull, you are missing the best time of the day. Not pissed off at all but ask anyone there is nothing more futile than being sober trying dealing with a drunk.

    You’ve had your fun, I’ll leave you too it as there’s not much worse than dealing with someone who’s pissed up on a sat night.

    Totally agree. People have given it their best shot I’d say but right now the lockdown is mainly in the minds of the politicians enforcing it. Sadly it’s children’s schooling that is the biggest unnecessary casualty right now.

    Friday nights are obviously when you are let out to play. If after reading that post the day after the sauce had worn off and you didn’t see how badly it read then there’s not much point in me trying to explain it to you.
  15. Agreed 100% out of the 48 of us caught up in this mess with the agency concerned most have now either cut back how much they work or jacked in the whole type of work we do and will probs never earn what they did. I’d imagine eif you took a before and after 5 yrs down the line the actual tax take will assuredly be way less as a result of what has happened. I know myself my attitude will never be the same towards the whole taxation system and amount of sacrifices I’m prepared to make working away from home. Putting it mildly cash is ****************ing king.
  16. Chilcot failed ref Blair. Let’s see what happens with Sturgeon over the Stalinist lies and hidden agendas up here over Salmond. Ref the contracts in England mate if they have been doing wrong then let them swing for it. Just been cleaned out to cover 19-20 self assessment and still in the middle of an IR 35 ass whipping so to say I’m pretty disillusioned with the way this countries economy is being decimated and tax payers money squandered is an understatement.
  17. All of them yeah ?? Tory Labour the lot yes ? Mark you’ve got me beat on about a ratio of 100-1 when it comes to countering about a particular party. Yep the SNP and Sturgeon in particular are a bunch of divisive anti English incompetents. If you lived up here with and see how they run things and a tax regime more severe than even the likes of Norway you’d understand why as a self employed unionist I can’t stand them.
  18. Who gives a shit Mark. The cost of the search for WMD !!!! and the deaths it caused ???. Point is they are all self serving arseholes regardless of the colour they operate under.
  19. Yeah still ongoing, infuriating that the individuals whom put us in the situation we are in manage to walk away without a care in the world. 2 years now, had a total tits full of waking up and going to sleep every day with it hanging over me, on the 3rd different inspector now 🤷‍♂️.
  20. The biggest disconnect by far is the gap between what the HMRC either want or think is going on and what the employer is capable of or prepared to give. Stuck right in the middle is joe blogs trying to make a living, whom inevitably ends up getting stuffed for more tax,

    That’s it for me I’m afraid, debate over the minute you asked “what would you do instead “ that tactic has been absolutely done to death on here, myself and others have given an answer on multiple occasions but it’s never been enough for some. I think most will have made their minds up by this stage don’t you.
