  1. Or blowing £5000 on a course to trade in Stocks yet fall back on manual labour? As a Window Cleaner you'd think that a company charging you £5000 for such a course would have big windows and they'd clearly see you coming? Maybe you thought they needed a clean first?
  2. Saul would be the best man for prices. But for Oak I sell Green at £4 a board foot. Semi-seasoned/seasoned at £6 a board foot and nicely figured at £8 a board foot. Spalted Beech I really dont know. Ive got some cracking slabs that have now spalted and 4 years air dried. I was not really a fan of Beech but I was very happy with how it came out in the wee Rocking Horse I built so will use it for more projects now. I dont think its as desirable as Oak and Elm. You never said if the slabs are seasoned or green. Id assume you mean green? There's a man here would would most likley buy them off you but Id say they are worth maybe 1/3 less than Oak? But Sauls your man to get a more definitive answer.
  3. Cheers. Will make for some light reading today.
  4. Its the same with the Flu vaccine, it really seems to be the case that medical professionals just dont generally take it. I wonder why highly intelligent professionals in the medical field dont feel the need to take it considering the places you're most likely to catch Covid is the Hospital Wards. I'll await the responses here. Along the lines of the doctors are clearly younger and are allowing the older generation to take it first.
  5. Yeh me to. I tell them as much as well. The only time I have 1m sections is after Ive cut off what I need for my own projects but I'll be damned if Im selling them to the folk who think its left over scraps. Id sooner make kindling out of it.
  6. @Scottish Cleaning Service Any updates on this request?
  7. False equivalence at its best.
  8. And half again. The amount of enquiries I get for 1m lengths for hobby projects is unreal. And as its such a short piece its obviously going to be virtually free, in their minds of course.
  9. Dont turn your words around? No, how about you dont makes false claims about what Ive said regarding Norway to fit your narrative. I dont keep skipping the question as why they are so low. I simply dont know. I dont understand how Covid manages to avoid transmission between a largely homogeneous Caucasian population not wearing masks in busy shopping centers and busy Ski Centers (paying attention here?) and busy restaurants here in Norway yet supposedly passes with ease in the UK. I dont have an answer to that. And its a question Ive been repeatedly asking here and its fallen on deaf ears with those who think that mask wearing is important. Why dont you tell me WHY?
  10. Tell me where I said there was no restrictions at the Ski Centres? You just made that part up. 🤣 And I never forgot you had mates in Norway because I never knew that. But I know fine well there are members here who live in Norway. So it would be stupid of me to make stuff up. Which I’m not. I think the U.K. response could be just as effective if we copy Norway. Since it’s working there why can’t it work here? Why can no one come up with a valid reason? The only thing you can do is try to do is discredit what I’m saying about Norway by putting words in my mouth. Says a lot really. 🙄
  11. He's referring to me. If anything he's empathising with your post about me, thats about me taking the thread away from the main topic. And dont tell him that you're not very empathetic. Thats his dig against me. You'll diminish his point.
  12. Mark, I know Im a wee bit vocal but Im certainly not the only one going off track here. Mark J is now in a side discussion about how much we should be paying for an accountant and for what services for a start. YoungStu picking up my (relevent) comment regarding what this lock-down is doing to our children and yes, it took a side track, but there's more than one person involved in that. Then Im replying to folk who are throwing toys out of the pram because someone else piped up that we should be feeding every dossers kids in the UK and I think we should not be. But its all my fault I see. Who knew I was so influential? And Im sorry but I'll keep mentioning how other countries are handling Covid. Since Norway is the only one that I have first hand knowledge of, and since they are our neighbors and have virtually the same genetic make-up as us, and are handling the crisis in a completely different way I believe its relevant. Since you (and others) ask me how I think we in the UK should handle the crisis can I just take this opportunity to say. Like Norway. Really, simple as that. Its working here, why can no one tell me why it would not work in he UK? Why can cities full of people manage to go around packed stores and not wear masks? Why can they pack out Ski Centers and not wear masks? Why are all the restaurants open with no one wearing masks? No one can answer me, like you they'd rather not even consider that another possibility for managing this crisis is right on our door step. And no offence, but if you find my post that bad why not join your mucker and put me on ignore? It really would be the simplest options. And as for your requests I'll politely decline. Apart from the free Beer, I'll take you up on that. And having just read your last line I feel sorry that you've lost good mates. I really am. I'll leave it at that.
  13. I think he's firing off his CV right now.
  14. Bloody hell. Look at the state of that place. I think you need to add a Cleaner to your business empire.
  15. Believe it or not Im an overly trusting guy. But you've already freely admitted to being a crook so the games already up.
  16. I really need to screen shot this one for the next time you dare to mention anyone rich, let alone the likes of Bezos etc should be paying not just tax, but more tax. Love it. I just need post this screenshot of you stating that employing people released you from the burden of tax. Oh, and its about 5 now? Can I join your tax free club now?
  17. So some respect? You're on about throwing cash around like Oprah at the end of her show but at the same time don't contribute to that. Your tax dodging is nothing to do with saving a bit of money. Its rank hypocrisy and Im astounded you cant see that?
  18. I can only assume what kind of bar you're referring. Still, we've all gotta work for a living.
  19. But clearly you ensure its not you.
  20. Perhaps if I too had an accountant to ensure I paid no tax I could afford my own English tutor?
  21. Don’t be daft. We have more young people with degrees in feminist studies expressed through dance than we can shake a stick at. 90% of folk who pass through Uni in Scotland end up asking what fries I’d like with that. 🤣
  22. Geeez, finally. No more bed wetting responses from you is the cherry on the cake. Fancy throwing the toys out the Pram one last time before you rage-quit? And for the record I never called anyone a pedophile (I triple checked before I posted it) and I can assure you I never deleted it. Maybe the person who did will PM you but it was not me. Sweet dreams.
  23. No flies on me. 🤣 He clearly realised the trap he set himself and pulled the plug ASAP. Just no quick enough.
  24. It’s easy to have compassion when you’re so compassionate with other people’s tax I guess? Since you freely admit to having your account ensure you pay no tax I think you can sit your arse down.
