  1. I bought a Bandsaw Mill and an Alaskan set-up and was disowned. [emoji6]
  2. I have a lot of time on my hands. The Pearls of Wisdom he dispenses there are so hilarious I couldn't help but keep reading.
  3. I thought that as well, just an epic troll. But read his posts on the Window Cleaning Forum, he blethers the same nonsense there as well. I genuinely think he believes it.
  4. Was it the same businessmen that convinced you to part with £5000 for a course in stocks and shares? No wonder they all want to be your friend.....
  5. If the timber is out of the elements I’m not sure you’d need to treat other softwoods anyway? Cladding would obviously be different. You’re gonna love me for slapping a mix of burst oil and AFT around the bases of my fence posts then. 🤣
  6. Why this Labour War Criminal is not in jail I’ll never know!
  7. You don’t say! 🤣
  8. I could maybe get you a load but it would be coming from the North East of Scotland.!🤣
  9. I think you’ll struggle to get loads under 10t with 20t being the norm. I could be wrong but larch seems a bit scarce these days but I’ve seen £80 a ton and more being banded about. Any particular reason that 2x8 and 2x6 needs to be larch? Could Spruce or DF work just as well?
  10. Cheers Mike! I’m starting to see parts can be an issue. If it lasts long enough for this big oak it will have earned its keep. Crazy to think that an oil pump is not available for it.
  11. I’ve got the Stihl Dynamic BT’s. I like them and the speaker quality is surprisingly good. Hear, hear!

  12. Cheers Mac! I bet it ripped through that log like a knife through butter!
  13. I just finished the latest series from Peter F Hamilton The Salvation Series. Bit of a slow burner in the first book but soon picks up pace. Can post on to anyone who'd like to have them?
  14. I really like it. Its the prequal to the Pillars of the Earth series.
  15. I dont feel smug at all. You did mention Oslo and that is where the most restrictions are in place and as I mentioned, all kommuners are allowed to have their own level of response and the cities with vastly lower levels of restrictions that the UK are not seeing spikes in the Virus. Thats all im saying.
  16. I have a lot of books with me. Reading the latest Ken Follett just now actually. But mostly its Sci-fi.
  17. I think that calling everywhere outside of Oslo an oil field bubble is somewhat narrow minded. I appreciate why Oslo feels the need for tougher restrictions. But I also appreciate that outside of the Capital the kommuners are allowed to take a more relaxed approach if the levels of infection allow them to. But strangely when drastically lower levels of restrictions are in place (outside of Oslo) the infection rates do not sky rocket.
  18. Im back in a Hotel again twiddling my thumbs. Yeh, Im gonna disagree with it. Need something to pass the time.
  19. So the first dose reduces the severity of the infection but only after two weeks?
  20. See? Not very clear but thankfully you've since addressed that. You've since clarified that you only wear masks in restaurants at some ski-centers while walking about but this is not the case for all and the slopes on the West Coast dont seem to be implementing that and the shops you're referring to are in the Capital and do not represent Norway as a whole but are Oslo-centric? Just so we're clear.
  21. Its not difficult to understand, but its also not what you wrote the other day. I was just clarifying that.
  22. I only quoted a portion of the restaurant section as you said in a previous post that you did in fact have to wear them in restaurants. Now you've changed your story on that. I just wanted to highlight that. It also gave the indication that this rule was Norwaywide, which is also not the case.
  23. Your post is somewhat ambiguous. But I'll assume you mean that in the Stores in Norway they people are respecting distances etc, using hand sanitisers and all that BS? Because if that's what you're referring to I can give you first hand empirical evidence that that is simply not true. No one seems to cares about personal space, people are shopping as close together and leaning over each other just as you'd expect in the UK, they're picking up and smelling fruit and putting it back if its not to their fancy, standingshatting maskless with friends and its great. I think you do the people of the UK a disservice. Maybe you live in a right sh*thole but there is plently of places in the UK that are not even remotely like the picture you seem keep on promoting. Perhaps the sh*thole you live in does need an Oslo style lock-down. But where I live it could easily get away with less restrictions and as almost every SAGE prediction has been wildly inaccurate I'd say they'd be wrong here yet again, based on first hand real life and not their computer generated models with extremely sketchy success rates.
  24. I do, because I feel its revelvent. Im still waiting on a response as to why packed supermarkets with no one wearing a mask in Norway does not see a sharp increase in cases. No one, including yourself can answer that. And I welcome that. But you've not even attempted to answer any of my questions. Somewhat different to what you said a few days ago. Where? Oslo? Because its just public transport on the West Coast. So better reflect Scotland then? But I dont see the relevance here. My Brother just moved out of London, he rarely left North London, My Sisters in Edinburgh, she rarely leaves her part of the City. The point remains that if Stavanger with a population of 130,000 and Sandness with its 70,000, effectively 200,000 people as they towns have virtually merged are not wearing masks and have the freedom to go out and eat in the restaurants without a maks and go shopping without a mask why are the rates not going through the roof like we're told in an part of the UK of we where to implement the same levels of restrictions? The 'cities' near me Dundee and Perth have populations of 150,000 and Aberdeen 200,000. So the population densities are very comparable as are the demographics. But we're fed doom and gloom and horrific deaths should the levels of restrictions be lifted. But gathering first hand experiences right accross the pond with the same population densities and demographics shows it snot the case. Yet people are falling over themselves to support a blind and blanket level of restrictions and dont even begin to question that a different level of approach could also work.
