You must live in a different world to most others, I travel all over. England for work spending many nights in digs which means small talk over dinner, not one person I’ve spoke to excepted energy cost to be so high. By the way, if it doesn’t rain here before the week is out are you still right?

You travel all over Eggs? All over where? England? 🤣

You need to get outta your little Englander Box wee man.

Let’s get this right, before it happened you knew Russia was going to invade Ukrain, (yes I know they’ve been rucking for years) you knew that demand in Asia was about to increase massively, (not a hard one to figure) you knew there would be a major fire in France affecting supply, (surely not even you could have predicted that one). I didn’t predict anything, it was an educated guess at what was going to happen, people on this post poo pooed me, admittedly not you, but it’s happened. So, not everyone knew what was coming.

Everyone with a triple digit IQ seen it coming. Everyone.

Covid alone told us that billions blown needed recovering. Forget everything else and that was all we needed to know that the shitshow had just begun. A world on the brink of turmoil was the icing on the cake. 
 

It’s gonna rain before the weeks out Eggs! I predict it and when it does I’ll smugly tell everyone how accurate I was when it does.

None of the above, it wasn’t that difficult to predict was it, now, how are your energy costs compared to back then?

You predicted what every one already knew though. Its like predicting the Sun will rise each day then posting it on here and boasting about being correct the next day. 🙄

I don’t really want to turn this political so I’ll end my involvement in this part of the conversation here. In the last 13 years the right have tried to and to an extent have dismantled the NHS. It’s about time you stop blaming a political party that hasn’t been in power for the best part of a decade n half for the downfall of the NHS in England, and massive rises in taxes at the same time, I could go on, but I’ll not bother.

The NHS needs dismantling though. It’s not fit for purpose and has not been for decades, certainly since the Blair years. It’s a crippled system that’s is bloated with pink and blue haired middle management. The sooner it’s gone and we get what you alluded to earlier the better. You actually ask for this. 🤣

Thank you. Some very useful info there about lorry loads. I’d be happy to buy 20+ m3. 
funny about the cordwood, I thought that was the correct term for unseasoned, full length logs. What should I call it?

cheers,

Elliott. 

I get the ick whenever someone mentions cordwood. 🤮

Same as folk using the word burl for burr. Double ick. 😁🤮

17yr olds will be sending nude pics to each other for free anyway, so if one of them can get enough money for a house deposit, then fair play to them 

A dirty old man soliciting pictures and videos of what the law considered a child or at least a juvenile whilst pretending to be the voice of reason and decorum on the news is at best disingenuous at worse he’s a pedophile. 
 

He needs knackered then hung.

I don’t mind paying my tax if I get the services I need when I need them, some years back I was seriously ill and the NHS/tax payer looked after me well, although I did have to get into my company provided health care at one stage to fast track things. It’s the amount of money wasted that grinds my gears. Not firsthand experience but my now retired SiL worked all her working life for the NHS, the waste she told me about is shocking.

If I dont get through to my Dr unless Im one of the very lucky few who manages to get a line at 08:30. Its a total shit show. Even if I do I have to give my personal problems to a bloody receptionist. Its then passed to a 'nurse' regardless of the severity. 

Thankfully I have private healthcare in Norway or Id be screwed. 

Nobody who is a net contributor should be held hostage by net beneficiaries. Unfortunately the left has allowed the tail to wag the dog and now we're in a position the 'right' has warned about for decades and its somewhat laughable we now have the bleeding hearts slowly watch the penny drop. Too late though. So thankfully they're more f?cked than those on the right who seen the writing on the wall. 

In last 10 years I think Ive paid an average of £60k tax a year. Thats £600k total. Ive been in Norway since 2009 so since then its at least £700k paid. Thats not including my UK NI contributions.  😮 Thankfully HMRC see a very small about of of my tax. Self employed folk dont know their living! No wonder they can survive on such a low day-rate. 

@Johnsond

Cash is king. Simple as that. So many folk happy to get on their knees and do HMRCs job for them.

I bloody hate heights. My brother on the other hand thinks nothing of it. We climbed up to Preikestolen and he walked right up to the edge and leaned over and took some pics. Its 3000 foot right down to the fjord. He then sat down and took some pics and wanted a few of him. He then said it was my turn. I had to shuffle on my arse from about 3 meters away and it took all my strength to swing my legs over this leaning ledge. 

Kjeragbolten was another arse clencher for me.  I got out onto the rock and near died inside. I asked the missus to look at the pictures and had her finger over the lenses the whole time.

With a shorter stroke there's more revolutions. Perhaps thats why my step count is so high?

Not seeking conflict at all.

 

I was kinda agreeing with you.  I don’t believe someone uses that amount in a day for yard work.  Therefore it is an error in the watches part based on BMI, HR and steps.  It was highlighted that it will give a high number of steps based on hand movement.  So by that I read that most of the other estimations are slightly dubious.

 

That’s all I will say on the matter.  
 

 

Me neither, I was just trying to lighten the mood.  

I can imagine using powered equipment will vastly increase the perceived 'hand movements' due to the vibration levels. 

Regardless of what actual calories I burn Im fortunate enough I can eat like a horse and drink like a fish and at 44 years old still maintain the physique I had at 18. If fact I still wear a lot of clothes I bought in my early 20's.

Just open me books ,so to burn 5000Kcal you must consume close to 11000Kcal otherwise you willl start loosing weight at drastic level and you will die from multi organ failure in about 20 days plus minus ,so you know what 11000 Kcal is ? 2 kg of dry pasta plus half kilo of butter and half a kilo steak,maybe few beers on top😆

Thats what I actually eat a day. But add a bottle of wine and 8 beers.

So recently been wearing a fitbit watch to track my calories,steps and cardio "zone" fitness and i was surprised at my calorie burn on a somewhat normal day.Little bit of climbing this morning,back on the deck for about 10am then crosscutting, dragging and chipping till about 5pm.

4770 odd calories....23,358 steps

I know these things are approximate but it does monitor heartbeat so it must be in the ballpark.Anyone else wear one of these watches? And if so whats the craic with them?

 

Thats a regular work day for me out in the yard, so seems legit. I have a fitbit and 5000 calories a day is not unusual.

I have customers that are happy to take it semi processed, meaning cut in to manageable sized rings that just need splitting, I'm not sure I can be bothered with splitting at the moment as it's so time consuming. 

 

If you've already got the logs clogged up then perhaps consider paying someone £10 an hour to run a log splitter for a few days. You'll soon turn £30 a cube into £150 a cube. If its already clogged up then a grafter will managed a good 5-10 cubes a day bagged. Easy money for you.

Keep an eye on that if you want Rotatech chain, that's 0.050 gauge. Id stick with narrow kerf given the engine size, but Rotatech might only have standard 0.058.

Cheers, I’ll look into that,
