I’d hold every single politician whom voted in and supported the restrictions we had to tolerate Mark not just the ruling party, there were only a handful of people in Westminster whom had the balls and common sense to question things. I’m not giving anyone a free pass it’s just I don’t give a shit if Boris or Stsrmer got pissed up or didn’t bud. No one will ever be held to account for the past two years utter utter insanity.

🤷♂️Everyone was at it Mark, you’d have had to be a utterly gullible fool to follow all the insane restrictions that were in place to the letter. That’s not defending them it’s just most are bored to death in regards who did what at these gatherings. There are far far more important relevant things to be concerned about.
-
No it’s not. That’s no different to that bollocks if you don’t criticise racism your racist etc.
-
Where did I defend them ?? I’ve said for ages a good opposition is important and sadly lacking. A few but I do remember they had a cracking disco night in the working men’s club many moons ago. Cracking chipper too.
-
Mark when Labour and Starmer in particular stop dripping like an nsu infested knob I’ll have a lot more respect and interest in them. Come up with some policies or valid and fresh ideas etc as the constant slagging off of the tories and nothing else does not constitute a decent opposition.
-
Christ Mark that the best you can come up with bud.

The French energy companies are already big players in the UK renewable market. They are certainly not in it for charitable reasons. It’s basically a licence to extract billions from the end users ie UK consumers.

Sadly a lot of what you say is true and having seen the workforce accommodation and rotations at lamprells Dubai for example I’m well aware how and why they do it. But the free pass given about this is infuriating especially compared to for example the partygate bollocks and how much press it gets. I make a conscious effort not to buy tat in particular tat manufactured in the Far East. We need a long term plan not as you say one that gets them to the next election, unfortunately I just don’t think we have the political characters or business leaders in place to come up with one.

Dogger Bank A Substation Topside Sails Out of Thailand | Offshore Wind WWW.OFFSHOREWIND.BIZ The offshore substation topside for Dogger Bank A, the first of the three 1.2 GW phases of the UK's... We keep hearing day after day about people needing help and more benefits from the government yet the silence over the lack of UK workforce involvement in the current wind farm free for all is deafening. Billions of pounds being spent on what is a guaranteed good earner for mainly foreign owned companies. Foreign flagged and crewed vessels installing overseas manufactured eqpt 😡😡. The tens of thousands of highly paid skilled jobs that could be created carrying out this work in the UK just doesn’t seem to make the news at all. I guess we’ve been too busy worrying about covid or bloody monkey pox etc.

Some nice Oak for myself on Friday and Sat/Sun spent cutting some Elm, Lime and Oak for a customer.

Jaws drop as it emerges UK Health Security Agency pays 1,400 consultants as much as £3,100 per day WWW-CITYAM-COM.CDN.AMPPROJECT.ORG It emerged today that the UK Health Security Agency is paying consultants as much as £3,100... Decent coin if you can get it.

Vicki Bevan: Woman paedophile jailed for life for 'shockingly depraved' sexual abuse including rape of girl APPLE.NEWS A woman has been jailed for life after she committed "shockingly depraved" sexual abuse, including the rape of a girl. Life !! Not quite sadly, utterly pathetic sentences.

Time will tell Les, I know the difference a clean blade can make to say a 1m wide slab cuts finish, admittedly it’s a fairly specific type of thing I ask of it so I'm prepared to do a bit of tweaking if needs be bud.

I’m looking to improve things as I find them, this seems to be the best option. They are in Herefordshire I’m in Aberdeenshire 🤷♂️.

Anyone done much in the way of mods to their mills or what was fitted as standard to keep blades clean whilst cutting ??. Spent yesterday at a mates workshop doing some mods. Relocated one of the log clamps, I’ve never liked the original position and hoping the new location works out. The single drip feed on the idle side roller is in my opinion not targeted enough to keep the 4800mm band clean when doing wide slabs without clogging up the cut and heating the blade so having a go at upgrading the blade/band wheel cleaning set up, the brushes in the pic are the initial part of what will eventually incorporate a 12v pump and some washer nozzles to give a controlled burst if necessary. Hoping to fit a wick type system to outside of blade too with a drip feed of diesel, cant do the inside due to the v belts on the wheels. Didn’t quite feel right taking a drill and a mig set to the mill but hey ho 🤷♂️.

It’s a total lottery in reality after this winters storms. Maybe on average £100-120 a ton possibly a bit more if it’s nice.

Lucky to get hold of some more really nice Oak lately, cracking little telehandler hired in for the weekend.

Few others have answered the above question but in a nutshell the darkness is no longer any protection for Deer or other animals regardless of the legality, take foxing for example, there’s a whole industry devoted to high tech kit and ever more potent rifle/cartridge combos. Regards my own standards I’m proud to say I’ve never pulled the trigger on any animal at a range greater than 150m, the whole field craft aspect of getting close is more of an achievement for me than the the shot itself.

100% correct SNP hate field sports or the countryside for that matter, they’d rather see wholesale slaughter than let sensible experienced people manage things. As always the press will give them a free ride. I’ve already seen the results of cheap night vision and thermal aids etc, head, gut and even one carcass literally shot straight in the backside 😡😡😡absolutely disgraceful and criminal behaviour sanctioned by those supposedly paid to look after our countryside. Also no deer equals no good reason to possess a firearm 🤷♂️something the snp would love to fetch in.
-
Forestry commission throughout the UK has passed the buck in regards deer control. The methods used and shots taken by some leave a lot to be desired.
-
Lol 😂 wtf are you doing here then 🥴. I feel totally fine Mull thanks for caring.
-
You should read it bud, try saying no once in a while. You’ll feel better for it.
-
Indeed eggs, contrary to what Mull is implying I’m not glued to the news feeds, if I’m a day out in regards something that catches my eye out 🤷♂️.
