But the sad reality is they are! Its just a cold hard fact. We're so focused on the ethics of shielding the people who are on average 82 years or older over the ravages we're doing to the young and I find that grossly out of proportion and wrong. My 17 year old is at a very critical point in her education and her acceptance into Medical School to train as a Doctor hinges on her grades this year. How well do you think that's going from her bedroom? She was a previously outgoing girl who studied hard but still found the odd hour for her friends. Now she's a depressed wreck. My three year old has had no interaction with anyone her age for almost a third of her life, the very stages she needs to be. She seen a woman walk past the house and she asked if that was maybe a friend for her. To say that I am seething even thinking about this is an understatement thats constantly brought to the fore when I see my work collogues here in Norway proponing meetings as they are dropping the kids off at barnehage. And not one person here has come up with an even remotely valid reason other than ''its different over there'' for why the approaches in Norway and the UK are vastly different and yet the infections rates are still lower than the UK.

My hashed-up by-passing of the 2 handed operation was initially at the vauge advice of the guys at Rock who for legal reasons sent me a silent whatsapp vid of what to remove. Namely the level on the left you initially pull down and retracting the spring and inserting a R-pin or split pin. But it never worked and I had to put it back together again. I think what I did was remove or adjust the stop for the operating handle, I cant quite remember, but I might have a picture on my phone, I'll if I can find it. Has been working fine since the first week of ownership, which must be close to a year now. The oil does get quite hot but never seems to get excessively hot, even in the Summer. Well, the Scottish Summer anyway, all 4 days of it. 😧

So its an ethical dilemma and not one of necessity after all?

I'll never understand that line of reasoning from them. There has to be an angle I'm not seeing. If these eighty odd millionaires wanna pay more tax then why not contact the IR and ask for that to happen. Or why not donate it to genuinely worthwhile causes and ensure the extra money ends up in the hands that need it and not syphoned off to fund the likes of HS2?

Very very nice! The lump pf Bur Elm I used to mount my Antlers on has very similar colouring. Actually made a few things outta that slab

Im only in Norway for work, I'll be returning to the UK in 20 days time. By then I'll have to see if the loop-hole is still open to fly into England where only 32 countries that are 'Red' make you eligible for quarantine in the Hotels then run the Gauntlet up to Scotland and past her Goons manning the Border or bend-over and take Jimmys pounding due to her political point scoring.

Now we're talking!

That may well be on the cards but I need to put my sensible head on just now. Over in Norway and the prospect of getting my pants pulled down by Sturgeon and having to pay £1750 for the privilege is keeping my purchases in check.

Cheers Saul, its from a trusted source and had little use. So the engine should be genuine. I guess I'll test the Comp when it arrives. Just watched a vid of it against a 880, seems very little in it which considering what I can find about the HP difference is surprising. Obviously I cant tell if they've modded them but Id assume that would be in the description?

Anyone have any first hand experiance of the old 084 in a milling scinario? Ive got the chance to snap one up for a very good price and need a saw for the Panther that I'll be getting later this month. I sold my 088 last year and regretted it ever since. It just sat in the garage for months and months and almost as soon as I did sell it I'm needing an Alaskan set-up again. I really do want the 881 but I need to be realistic right now and with the bloody SNP making all arrivals into Scotland subject themselves to 11 nights quarantine at a cost of £1750 and lessening prospects of my employer footing the bill. This could go on till Autumn. 😮

Numerous people have given alternatives, alternatives that are im places like (shock) Norway but you clearly have no answer to that and refuse to explain why. Thats cool beans, but dont pretend that this pandemic could not be held in check with less stringent measures because (shock) its working here in Norway. Again (shock) it works here in Noreay and they are even looking at relaxing some measures in a country where the measures are already more relaxed than the UK. We're talking large towns and cities here, not the vest wastelands. You mean the very, very limited number of those who are under the average age of dying from Covid which is 82 and have existing medical conditions are now surviving due to the medical treatment they receive? There is a vast difference in false and personal narrative you're trying to push here and the truth. The irrefutable truth is that 99.991% of the English population under the age of 60 survive covid and the vast majority of them do not even know they have it.

Ditto.

Yeh, I'm staggered as well. I mean, how on earth does it spread so fast in the UK with all the restrictions and masks in place yet with the same populations densities in towns and cities here in Norway its below that of the UK and there is less restrictions and voluntary mask wearing. The infection and death rates are lower, they're not the same or higher, they're lower. As someone who has a such a self-professed grasp of the very basics of viral spread can you please explain why?

Swedish corona researcher quits after receiving hate messages and threats: "Frightening" - Norway Today NORWAYTODAY.INFO Professor Jonas F. Ludvigsson at Karolinska Institutet (KI) in Stockholm will stop researching COVID-19 after receiving a... Ludvigsson, who is also a pediatrician at Örebro University Hospital, has received hate messages and threats for his research, including a study that showed that primary school teachers are less likely to become seriously ill with coronavirus than other adults.

He’s desperately looking for any scrap of evidence to the contrary. Since he clearly can’t it far easier to just start an Ad Hominem argument instead. Next he’ll move onto his favourite, Dogma.

The amount of missed Cancer screenings will be a huge scandal in years to come, most likely sooner. Thats just one aspect. When you tot up all the other missed surgery's etc its putting a massive amount of peoples lives at risk or in continual agony. We're severely buggering up our children's education and the building blocks they need to form normal social interactions by being in continual isolation. Its criminal whats going on. Long Covid seems to affect a very small percentage of those who catch the virus. Yet catching Cancer to late will simply kill you. Certain death v something that may or may not be a thing and may or may not have any long term effects. These apologist t*ats will always, always have a reason why they they feel we should be kept in this every more draconian lock-down.

Every death is a huge loss for family, friends and loved ones. But we must put Covid into perspective. Around 1,600 people die every single day in the UK, for some reason or another. In recent weeks, Covid has barely featured in the top ten causes of death. The average age of a coronavirus fatality is 82: that is older than average life expectancy. The reality is that this horrible condition is only very dangerous for a tiny minority of people. Anyone catching Covid has more than a 99.5% chance of surviving it, most with no symptoms at all. Only a fool could read this and see something wrong with this statement.

Norway also seems to be a lot more open regarding the side effects of the Vaccines. Meldte mistenkte bivirkninger av koronavaksiner - Legemiddelverket LEGEMIDDELVERKET.NO Legemiddelverket publiserer ukentlige rapporter med oversikt over meldinger om mistenkte bivirkninger etter vaksinasjon i...

You absolutely can compare the UK to Norway. How on earth does the virus know its in a packed store in Norway with no one wearing a mask and not a packed store in the UK that has enforced mask wearing? How does the virus know its in a packed Ski Centre in Norway and not in a packed Ski Centre in Scotland? We've been forced to wear masks in the UK for months in the UK and still not everywhere in Norway. There is still a large BAME (I hate that expression) in all the Cities here in Norway, so how does the Virus differentiate that its in Norway and not the UK. And no, everyone is not 'spread out' the majority of the population is in the Cities and Towns. The vast Majority of Norway is a wilderness. By your reckoning of the UK Government reacting slowly you'd have to admit the Norwegian Governments reaction is a snails pace and still no where near that of the UK. When you have two countries side by side, with the same genetic make up and ethnicity you really do need to ask yourself why one managed just fine without breaking out the Jack-boots and the other feels the need for it.

Do you not think there is a conflict of interest when the very people who are advising and have a great deal of leverage when it comes to the measures we're having to live under are set to make a substantial amount of money from what they recommend? I don't think openly questioning this is within the realms of crazed conspiracy theories. I know I keep banging this drum but here in Norway we're not living under the same harsh measures and the infection and death raters are lower than the UK. How could this possibly be? The Norwegian Government has just announced that Winter Holidays are still on as long as they are taken within the country. That's trips to your cabin and also the very busy ski center's and of course masks are still not enforced unless on public transport. So when these people take their holiday to another part of Norway and take a flight they have to wear a mask for the hour or so they're on the flight. And I fully get that. But Norway is not grinding their country to their knee's. People still have a lot of freedom and on the most part businesses can continue to function. And again the infection rates are lower than the UK. So forgive me when I question SAGE and the measures that they are pushing the UK Government to implement and also question the apparent conflict of interest that may or may not be there. But I do believe that it should be questioned and not scoffed.

I like the sound of that. Which one did you go for?

I see Tarp in that very picture! Yes, yes, I need to build a drying shed. Its on the list. But happy wife-happy life and a cosy living room reaps the benefits in the bedroom .

I see where you're coming from. My Brothers a Builder/manager in London and said its the way it should be done. There has to be air flow above and below the joists, which there is. The Kingspan is 1" below the floor boards and the DPM and the DPC is meant to be wrapped around the Joists and under the Sole Plates. There has been work done under there before and DPC was wrapped around the new joist under there. But obviously no DPM. Under the Joists and DPM there is air bricks at each end of the rooms and they are clear.

You need to start using the quote function. [emoji3] Ive not had a chance to start yet. Been doing work on the house this last time home. Lifted the Floor Boards in the living room to install insulation and seen the joists and and sole plate and had started to rot out so the Joists needed plated up at one end and the Plates all needed replaced. Added some DPM so hopefully should last the next 140 years. [emoji3] Huge difference with some 100mm Kingspan under there. Also milled 10t of Larch into Fencing and got that up. I'll need to start on the shed next time off though as Im (literally) getting snowed under in logs and need them milled up and drying under something other than tarp.
