If you have a vid it would be great to see. I really cant envision how the lifting bracket works. Why would you need to lift a log if milling in the Vertical? Will be weeks before im home and its bugging me. Ive got a hookaroon and tongs coming in the mail soon as well. Save my back time!
-
I never stated it was a fact. Its merely my opinion. As you say its impossible to prove either way. But if there was a bet to be made then Id be so confident in my views Id bet the house on it. There's a huge different between stating something is fact and they shying away from that when you get your arse handed to you.
-
not sure if that's an attempt at humor or you genuinely believe that. Its hard to tell.
-
I see the left love to get their panties in a bunch over Dom breaking the rules but these deluded clowns get a free pass and silence. At least now we have the left and right agreeing its a pointless waste of time trying to enforce it any longer. I certainly wont be. If cornered i'll say BLM.

Id bet the house on the percentage of those 'protesters' voting Tory being single figures.
-
I initially took offence at that but then realised it’s true. ?
-
Still a touchy subject? That’s mad.
-
Ah thats right, so it was. Sounds like something you'd suggest though.
-
Not about anything when he was in office no. But if he's seen something off the record, and there is no record of him seeing it, and its after he's retired then although I'll assume he's skating on thin ice I doubt there is anything they can do to him.
-
Ah thats right, you're the plank that was telling us all to piss in the sink to save the world.
-
Oh, sorry. I thought you said it was the same guy. I dont know actually. It matters little to me. Its the position he held that to me is the important bit. I dont need to know or care about his political leanings.
-
you seemed to take offence about him voicing his valid claims about Corbyn. As a warning? If you believe its true then maybe its the right thing to do? If he has seen some evidence, but cant share it then even more so? We're not talking about some dithering old MP here, we're talking about the former chief of the M16. Someone who is clearly astute and has the education and intelligence to back up his point of view. I seriously doubt he'd put his head above the parapet and further risk his reputation without good reason or evidence. It sounds like you've taken a personal objection to both of his statements and have then formed a hostile opinion about him, which of course you claim otherwise.
-
What? Where did I even remotely state such a thing? You may very well doubt it. Personally I think its quite naive to believe that its not a distinct possibility. There has been a plethora of leaks to the media on both sides of the Pond within the last few years. Is it so far fetched to think that leaking something like this to someone who held such a high rank and has the respect of many? I dont think so. But again, Im not saying its whats happened, but I think he deserves to be heard and not told to shut his mouth because he cant wave a document in front of the camera. I think you have a clear prejudice against him and its clouding your judgement somewhat. Its like reading an opinion from mark J on the Tories, you know damn well there will be no objectivity in his thoughts and reasoning's. It will be nothing other than hate and bile.
-
Read my previous posts and then read what you've just written. Maybe have someone read them for you? But then think carefully about how little sense your comments make.
-
Better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and confirm it. If you dont think that someone who is 70 years old has anything to offer society in ways of knowledge and wisdom then I'm sorry, but Im not going to spoon feed you as to why. Im certainly not saying all 70 year olds should automaticly been taken at face value. But when they have had such a distinguished career then yes, I feel they deserve to at least have they're words considered.
-
Well, you're free to scoff. Thats certainly your right. Others should be free to carefully consider his words. If your opinion is that anyone over 70 should keep their mouths shut as their opinion and knowledge is no longer valid then more fool you. In fact the more you share your opinions the more that becomes apparent.
-
No, as I said his comments would have to be weighted for worthiness. His past position as the head of M16. He has, in my opinion, earned a degree of respect and his comments should be treated as such. Im not saying thats 100% whats happening. But I dont think its beyond the realms of impossibility he still has a lot of contacts who would pass him, or at least show him or discuss with him classified infomation. I dont know if his claims are true. Id certainly consider them with the respect due to someone who held the position he previously did. I think Trump ignores almost everything told to him by men and women in their relevant senior Military, Intelligence or security Position. What Trump does or not do has no bearing here.
-
Thats not shit stirring, that is/was a legitimate opinion. Considering Corbyne is a terrorist sympathizer and openly supports various factions then I'd say his qualified opinion is valid. Id also like to see some proof, but I doubt he's in a position to hand out classified docs like that. Having held the position he did shows beyond a doubt that he is qualified to make such claims. Personally Id welcome more of his opinions, with or without proof. They can be weighed for worthiness but at least someone has the balls to speak out.
-
Damn! Whats the plans for it? Are you building it?
-
Cheers. Looking forward to seeing them.
-
A bloke I used to work with on building sites bought a cheap terraced house for his daughter when she was at university, and let her rent the other bedrooms to her friends. That paid the mortgage so his daughter lived rent free, then he sold it for a profit when she left. Thats the way to do it! Might well be worth considering. Would have to find the deposit though. Got a year to save.
-
Hes been there for 4 years and is quite astute. Ah ok cool. I'll look into that for Scotland. I guess so? Its so far removed from what I had growing up. Its hard to adjust. When I was 16 I was not even told or shown where the local bus route was.Now the kids seem to demand their own bloody flat and a car? Madness. Thanks for replying though. I appreciate it.
-
Yes, I am/will continue to do so. But the advice and ideas from the guys here leads me down paths I had not previously considered. Good to know a caravan can be hooked up to utilities. I’ll dig into that a bit more. Seems like my daughter is not that interested in the idea after all. Bloody spoilt if you ask me. ? Wants a flat in whatever Uni Town she joins[emoji50] So Summer House/Guest House it is.

Im just waiting on @Will C flogging me his woodland Mills version.
-
Yes, of that I have no doubt. but it seems to be like when I was looking for a Bandsaw Mill. Nothing for a year then as soon as I buy one they come pouring out the woodwork! No doubt as soon as I pay over the odds for a WP36 5 will pop up at the same time for £5k.
