  1. I sell them cut up through the Branch Logger for £50 a cube.
  2. First correct decision Bidens made in his time.
  3. Find something funny @topchippyles?
  4. I second Tegid, he's in Wales as well. Ive had nothing but first class service off of him.
  5. Ive been over to Houston a few times with work. (Oil) I love it there. Very friendly and patriotic people. Im thinking of flying over this October with the family, tour around a little, see the Alamo then drive down to Galveston and catch a Cruise ship to the Caribbean.
  6. Its a Global business yes, but it does not have to be done this way. Norway (as per usual) having very strong unions have laws in place that block what they call 'social dumping'. Meaning that Firms cant hire in cheap foreign labour at the expense of the local population. If specialized skills are not demonstratively available in the Norwegian market they can hire out-with Norway, this is closely monitored by the Unions who's bite is as strong as their bark is loud. When hiring a foreigner they must be paid a Norwegian Wage that is on the Matrix levels of pay according to their skill level. This making hiring someone that does not speak Norwegian not an attractive prospect.
  7. There is that, but the infrastructure in the UK Sector is crumbling due to lack of investment and there is no incentive to invest when the Politicians keep pandering to the Left and threaten to shut them down.
  8. Cash in the bank for me then. We've just won a 5 year contract (with optional 4 year extension) with Var Energy. Although the link says its a Drilling Contract its not really the case as Var will have their own chosen Drilling Firm and Halliburton provides the Directional Drilling, Measuring While Drilling (MWD) Fluids (Mud) Cementing, CleanWell, Lower and Upper Completions and Perforation. Basically just Red Coveralls on the Rigs The way Norway refuses to pander to the Left will keep me in work til I retire. Halliburton to enter drilling services deal with Var Energi WWW.REUTERS.COM U.S. oilfield services provider Halliburton said on Thursday it would enter into a long-term agreement with Norwegian oil and gas company Var Energi for drilling services.
  9. Ive no intention of twisting your arm nor am I wishing to engage you in conversation. Im simply calling you out. End of.
  10. I agree. If I had spare cash, which I dont Id be hoarding physical metal and maybe 1/3rd in BC. I personally think investing in property today is a no-brainer, or it will be soon when many start to default. The demand for property heavily outstrips demand and will only get worse.
  11. The sheer level of shortsighted ignorance on display with your comment is astounding. Well done.
  12. I’m a bit pissed Elton is on at the same time as QOTSA. I’ve been out voted and its Elton, but since I’ve had every song of his imprinted on my subconscious I can sing along to all the songs.
  13. It’s quite an odd experience for me to sit at home and enjoy watching the show instead of being there. And when I say “be there” I mean T in the Park. I hardly missed a year til I moved to Norway and caught all the Kinross events. I was baffled thinking that folks were at home “watching” the same bands I was “experiencing”. Getting old I guess?
  14. Step aside? Don’t you think the organisers are actively selecting bands based on their crowd pull? With about 3000 bands appearing this year folks can vote with their feet. With this being the second Glasto since “lockdown” perhaps folks still fancy a “sing along” to the greats before they pop their clogs?
  15. I really enjoyed GnR. Was a whirlwind 3 hours of nostalgia. I think he was far better than the few moaning mini armchair warriors give him credit for. It’s easy to google search for your own echo chamber. I did the same and everyone said he was amazing. 🤷‍♂️
  16. And what percentage of the population is that? A minute one I expect. Yes for these lucky few it will be a nice wee cash boost to add to their nest egg but on the other hand multiple millions will be crippled. But yeh, I’d love to hear about some Boomer enjoying another holiday next year because the interest rate has gone up. Great news article that would make. 🙄
  17. Feel free to counter any point I’ve made Lesley. Please.
  18. Yes the Wagner thing is bizarre. But then you’ll agree with me the picture you posted about them has zero context in the meme I posted and the reply you just gave?
  19. I don’t know, that’s why I asked you. I really don’t see how the picture you posted of Wagner turning on Putin then folding like a Deckchair hours later has any bearing on Biden allowing Putin to cross every line in the Sand he’s drawn.
  20. At @topchippyles you’ve wisely avoided engaging in any topic that requires triple digit IQ. Nows most likely not the best time to dip your toe, eh? Stick to sex pest comments and taking credit for work found on the internet.
  21. And what’s the link to that post and mine?
  22. And here’s me realising they have all needlessly gambled their lives and lost and not caring one iota about any of them.
