  1. Two men charged over Manchester Airport incident in July APPLE.NEWS Two men have been charged with assaults on police officers following an incident at Manchester Airport... Not before bloody time. Great news that no one from the police will be charged.
  2. You might want to research that Mark. Starmers touch is all over this bud. Lord Mandelson expected to be named as UK ambassador to US APPLE.NEWS The former minister and life peer will replace Dame Karen Pierce in early 2025.
  3. Mark if I never saw him,Blair or Campbell again it would be a blessing. Of all the sleazy dishonest people to choose as ambassador 🤮🤮
  4. Unbelievably this apparently is the best that the UK has got to offer, twice sacked from government positions , fast tracked his boyfriend’s citizenship. Packed off to Europe on a good earner and a lord to boot. Now the UK ambassador to the USA a country that has voted in a government that stands for the exact opposite of everything Mandleson has spent his odious existence promoting. He must have some serious shit on someone.
  5. No that’s actually a typo Mark possibly a dialect issue over the phone. His not mine of course. Yeah the cost is nuts combined with the new tax increases and VED rates after April I think Red Rachel has just killed that sector . I don’t think it will bring in anywhere near the money they think as people will just not buy them, as I’m doing.
  6. Well whatever it is it’s definitely driving me out of the market, that plus the rate at which they have gone up. My 68 plate wildtrack was £28k plus vat new on a Ford 0% business deal over 4 years. That's the qoute I’ve had to swap out. To me those are just crazy numbers and nowhere near worth it to drive a new motor. Not sure where the twin cab market is gonna go after April 25 but I’m definitely gonna be just sitting tight.
  7. 😂I knew you’d not be able to let it be SP. The last word is so ****************ing precious to you. I use the edit facility 🤷‍♂️😂😂” guilty as charged” moving on. The line of those wishing to take the knee grows it would seem 😂😂😂
  8. Yeah the cordite is harsh on barrels. A guy at club I was in bought one of the unissued No 4s that came on the market a few years back, he would not put that through it. I see a few lads casting bullets in that weight on some of the forums. I’ll keep my eyes open. Kynoch 😂can’t imagine it being cheap mind
  9. First year only I think, I think it’s being revamped next April. My accountant was running through it with me but I zoned out after 5 mins. Looking at the list of vehicles it affects it’s a pile of super cars and big SUVs plus a few well known pick ups , ridiculous.
  10. What ammo you looking for Mike. There’s a decent variety of bullet weights to be had over here. You tried Henry Krank’s
  11. 😂 At this particular point absolutely nothing SP, very much like 99% of the replies you make to my posts 👍
  12. Couple of guys I cut for have 3 phase, but normally a 60kva generator ((probably a bit excessive) currently on a trailer but in process of getting it mounted onto an urban tractor unit that will tow the mill, behind schedule with that job due to day job commitments this year. I’ll stick a few pics up when the whole thing is done.
  13. 😂vulture You just woke up SP 😂😂the grammar police will be after you.
  14. I see where you are coming from with the desire to use the chainsaw mill, but from my experience I’d say a mobile mill and a good operator will give you ten times the output in a day that you will ever achieve with any chainsaw mill set up. Logs around that size ain’t that big and will be well within the capacity of most mobile mills and as I say production will suprise you,kerf on a sawmill is only 2.2-2.3mm too so far less waste and mess. I use an 880 granberg set up with a 59” bar but restrict the chainsaw mill usage to breaking down logs too big for the sawmill ie anything over 1.2m diameter, they definitely have a use but it’s a hard laborious slow process. You can still sort the trailer, get the logs out and store them off the ground until a worthwhile quantity is available to mill. There’s a directory on here to locate a sawmill op near you. Or just ask for a mobile milling service in Essex. After all that I do still get where you are coming from wanting to do it yourselves. Maybe try one day with a hired in mill, the more help you can give the operator the better so he actually keeps cutting rather than labouring, a good telehandler or tractor loader on site increases efficiency big time. Earlier this year I did a day for a local community trust and they were drowning in milled timber by the end of it. Good luck 👍
  15. 😂😂Calm down SP, getting your big boy pants on tonight eh , I think you’ll find you reacted to a post i put up, seeing as you liked the ATL vulture dig I thought you’d appreciate the irony of your prompt comment 👍👍it made me smile anyway.
  16. Is it not worth budgeting to bring in a decent mobile mill occasionally, cost of a decent sawhead etc to mill with would probably get you a couple of days milling. Far less waste and much much quicker. What type of timber and sizes are you looking at milling up ?. Where you based ?.
  17. 😂😂 Nothing really SP just the irony of the ATL and something about Vultures wading in 👍
  18. Good earner
  19. 😂😂😂🤷‍♂️
  20. Seems like Musk is gonna be splashing some small change round soon. Hopefully it can help shake things up a bit here, the two party dance doesn’t seem to be delivering the goods year after year. Lovely portrait of the new president in the background 😂😂
  21. I’d say take off for storage. I’ve had a couple of crossman toys over the years for the kids and from memory 40-50 decent shots was the norm. For what the canisters cost I’d not even consider leaving it hooked up, I’d not be suprised if they leaked out to zero anyway over time.
  22. Just looked at the list of exotic Lamborghini and Ferrari type stuff in the over 255 emissions table but tucked in there are some fairly popular pick ups and work vehicles Toyota Hilux 2.8D Toyota Land Cruiser 2.8D Volkswagen Amarok 3.0 TDI Ford Ranger 2.0 TD EcoBlue Ford Ranger 3.0 EcoBlue Ford Ranger 3.0 V6 INEOS Grenadier 3.0 Seems these trucks are gonna be in for a first year hammering tax wise soon. £5490 as I read it !!. I might be wrong but if it’s the case that’s my 68 plate Ranger gonna be going until it dies. Pure lunacy and as business unfriendly as it could possibly be. Well done Labour.
  23. Good 👍 His old man bankrupted Cuba, he’s done massive damage in Canada. Hopefully some common sense kicks in.
  24. Inherited money is a public good – the case for penalising it is falling apart APPLE.NEWS By raising this particular tax, our society stands to lose a great deal more than just money Fairly level headed common sense view of things imo.
  25. 🤔 Some people don’t want to listen to others views , in reality why should they. The matters at hand here that upset the ATL are way past the point of let’s talk about it. I tend to shoot alone and not at steel nowadays, I probably wouldn’t enjoy your company, we agree on that at least. You serious ?? Have a look back at a succession of any posts I’ve made and you tell me who in particular is 9 times out of 10 on it in jig time !!, yesterday when I wasn’t even around being a classic example, but that’s totally fine as it is at the end of the day the internet and an open forum, I’m not whinging about it, it’s all part of the game. There is shit loads I pass by that doesn’t interest me or my opinions ain’t that strong on. What doctrines are skewed by the way ?? Would that be wanting to stop illegal immigration ??
