It’s like a race to the bottom and when you’ve landed there with a thump you’ve said “no, I can dig deeper!”

What you’re dining is trapping yourself into a corner. I’m sure Sweden will suit you to the ground, but if it does not then….. You say the U.K. market is gonna come crashing down then you say you’re farked if you’re not already on the ladder. Make your mind up J [emoji16] Personally I think the U.K. will end up like many island nations like Japan. Multi-generational mortgages. No crash, no implosion just a slow but steady increase in “value”. Im quite sure you’ll never return to the U.K. J, and I don’t blame you. The world is your oyster now, but not the U.K. Once you’re out the game here it’s gonna be next to impossible to buy here again. Unless you come back to Scotland 🤣

Buy where you can afford? My brother just gave up a £50-£60k managerial job in London to move back to Scotland to take a gamble at being self employed. He was on over £1500 a month in rent and that was discounted as his boss owned the place. He now has a 2 bed ex-council house and has a £400 a month mortgage. If you want it to happen it will.

One member here has just done 60 days straight doing not 10 but 12 hour shifts. To cap that off it was all on nights. I regularly do 14-21 days straight on 12-16 hours a day.

Why is he being such a twat? Does he have a better offer or is he just wanting to get started on the conversion?

I’ve been to Elevenerife dont you know.

Minimum wage and rent costs are two different things in my opinion. I don’t really see a minimum wage job as a job that you can live on and support yourself or a family. It suits students studying to get an education or a supplementary wage as a second income for a family. These wages should never be topped up. The market dictates the wages as we’re seeing now with field workers and HGV drivers.

The good old days.

Think you will struggle with that whichever chain you use. Let us know. I have a strong feeling you and Saul might well be right. 😬 Dave, that offer still good. 🤣

I’ve a 084 just now. Milled the 52” Oak I’ve been doing with it no bother, but that’s been skip and hyper. The Ash I plan on milling with the full complement Stihl is 40” max, tapering down. Actually found a picture next to the stack taken at the sawmill I bought it from 7 years before I bought them.

Thieves Target Selco Reading Car Park

The Northern Ireland conflict is an isolated and historic war, some would say civil war. To use one war/conflict that ended 20 years ago as a basis to say that White people around the globe are more likely to be terrorists or carry out terrorist acts is as I said, nonsense. -

I am considering just getting a roll. Since Ive no long bought a 60" Panther set up it included the 64" Bar and 2 chains. One was the Oregon skip and the other the hyper skip. Personally Im not that blown away by them and since I liked the Stihl Ripping Chains on my 48" Chilaskan I've just bought the Stihl Chain in the pic above to try out on the 64" Bar. I'll then be able to make a better comparison out of the three chains and see what works best for me and also different species. Then I might buy a roll of that. But til then I'll suck it and see. Im gonna be re-sawing some very dry Ash Slabs from 6" and cutting in half to get as close to 2 x 2.5" boards out of them for some kitchen worktops. Ive a feeling the Oregon Chains, most likely the Hyper Skip will be best here, will just be a hell of a lot of sharpening.

I had a present for the 64” bar dropped off last night. [emoji16]

In your prime? You’re 46 and doing the job of a 20 year old. Without an exit plan you’re gonna be on the scrap heap within 10 years. All while being an expendable employee. I assume you know this and have a plan in place?

This is a very Scottish-centric question I feel. But no, I don’t do my own. Purely because the local sweep swaps a couple of clay lined chimneys in the house each year for larch backs. Win/win. In Englandshire they need their hands held. Bless. [emoji16]

What does the law say? If I was an employee what some of you endure in this day and age, for the wages is almost criminal.

This is reported way too frequently to be true. Missing woman "finds herself" after intense search WWW.CBSNEWS.COM Tourist in Iceland didn't realize her travel group was looking for her, after she changed clothes

I’ve been double jabbed. That was me getting them both removed. 😁

Took them the first day. After that the relief from the everyday pain was euphoric compared to getting my neck sliced open and the bone scraped away. Had the wee one “brush” my hair with a hard plastic comb and drag it over the stitches. That was fun 😬

Ironic considering you’ve been called out repeatedly by so many so regularly on here regarding the emptiness of your posts. A. A for Andy. A for Andy that you can see anyway at the top left hand corner of each and every one of my posts. A.

Do you post anything on here other than being a condescending prick? If you do I’ve yet to see it.

It’s very odd. A

Agreed. Its a small comfort to know that the U.K. knows this to be true and accepts this as unofficial martial law.
