That obviously includes the cost of the cooking staffs wages, pensions, cleaning, computers etc. the amount that goes on the food would most likely be under 30p

At your age it might just be forgetfulness.

No no, just that what you are claiming sounds dubious.:)

Timber Framers use green wood/Oak. These structures last 3-400 years and still look good but more importantly do the job they where designed to do. When I think of a gate I envision a Suffolk 5 Bar or something close to that. Wasting time and effort seasoning the timber first seems pointless to me. A good mate of mine is an Oak Framer, some of his builds is (in my opinion) are breathtaking, it’s one of the reasons I started messing around with wood. He builds green gates and pumps them out regularly. His own extravagant gates are green oak. They have been in 5 years now. I’ve started taking what is seen as gospel here with a good measure of salt. M&T T&G gate I’d give the oak a year to acclimatize. Seems like a fussy gate.

This whole post sounds dubious.

When are you going to build it? This year or next? Gonna plane the boards or keep them off the saw? Personally I’d build the gate green unless there’s some M&T involved. If you can build it green and plan on planing then just mill a few mm over on each side. Even if there is some T&G involved for an outside gate I’d still build it green.

Will keep that in mind. Not sure what happened with the 2000 coins I bought earlier but they have taken them back and left me this odd “debt”. Sounds a bit fishy to me?
-
No, never bothered. Had to much to pay for lately. Not sure if the current market means that was a benefit to me or I’ve missed out?

Put a cheeky punt on Luna earlier today. Bought 2000 coins for £58. Looked an hour later as I also wanted a few CRO and I crapped myself as I had over £800 in Luna. I thought I’d made a mistake and had to check the bank. 🤣 Nope only £60 came out the account. Did it really jump that much in the space of an hour or so? Can’t buy more even if I wanted to just now either.

I understand what you’re saying. Society has left the nuclear family model. There is huge amounts of single parent family’s in the Western World. Promiscuity has exploded in recent years and personally I don’t think the answer to a huge number of unwanted pregnancies is to murder unborn babies. We as a society should be protecting the indefensible, not chopping them up into mincemeat as they have become an inconvenience. Our moral compass has been lost in the West.

There is of course exceptions. But the wholesale use of abortions as a means of contraception up to the point in many pro-choice advocates opinion as being as late as any date pre-delivery is in my mind at least is utterly inhumane. I also find it morbidly amusing that the same people spouting their self righteous indignation at anyone daring to question “my body my choice” also seem to be the biggest advocates for forcing people to take experimental vaccines against their will. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

Whilst that is unfortunate they have options. An innocent unborn baby has none.
-
I can live with that attack if that’s the price to pay for knowing less and less unborn babies are not shredded in their mothers womb.
-
Anything that stops or at least hinders the murder of unborn babies is ok with me.

That £2.02 includes the staff to cook it for them and deal with all the cleaning and all the logistics involved in shipping and transportation. Now I know the Dole Bums want everything handed to them on a plate but getting staff in to cook and clean for them on top is taking things to far. Saying that these lazy buggers are now demanding lunches prepared and delivered to their doors for their spawn during the school holidays. It’s utter madness.
-
There is a vast difference in a working family receiving a top up (I don’t agree with this either) to generational families living their whole lives on benefits. The money these two types of families receive is vastly different and disingenuous of you to lump them together.

Boomers who have allowed themselves to solely rely on a state pension and have no savings, no investments and no mortgage free home when a house cost a coupe of packs of fags get zero sympathy from me. I care not how they get by, they had their time and they had their chance. Perhaps it’s time they tootled off this mortal coil quietly?
-
The lazy barstools that live in a 3rd story Flat with no garden deserve all that’s coming to then. Almost undoubtedly a life on the fiddle. Enforced hard labour will soon shut them up.
-
By eating the way i suggest above. by keeping Chickens. By growing a veg plot/box Bt turning the heating off and doubling up on clothing. By getting an education By getting a second or 3rd job. by cutting out booze and fags by keeping their legs closed countless ways really.

It’s one meal out of a weeks worth of meals Eggs. One meal that I expect 90% of these dossers live in anyway. Next night Pasta and home made tomato sauce. Next night Dirty Rice. Next night Veg Stew. Next night more Pasta. Weekend a treat of Chicken Drumsticks and tatties. Next day Chicken broth and bread. Uber cheap. Healthy. Within the dossers budget.
-
But a 30p meal is easily achievable. Why can’t these bums grow their own veg? Plenty scraps to be had here. Personally I buy veg and salads at 5p and under from tescos at the end of the day and throw them to the ducks and chickens. And yes, scraps from a 30p meal is also achievable, my kids eat about half what we put out for them. Nothing ever goes to waste. Well maybe today we wasted a bit. 🤣 I ate half my dinner here in Kos.

I had Cheesy Chips the other night as I just fancied it. £1 for a bag of pre-cut chips, cheap grated cheddar was £2 and bread for those that wanted a butty. Cheap cheerful food. £3.40 for 5. 68p each. I imagine it would have been half that had I bought potato’s and peeled and chipped them myself and felt the urge to grate my own cheese. Back to near on 30p a meal. Pasta and tomato sauce? I bet that comes in at under 25p a head.

Lidl Eggs are 7.9p each. Two of them, a sprinkling of cheese and a slice of toast will be near enough 30p, might even factor in the heating costs. Beggars can’t be choosers and there is plenty of self imposed beggars in the UK. Roosters are finally coming home to roost. Better yet squire some chickens. Rescue hens are as little as a quid each and often free. Feed them scraps and you have endless free eggs. I’ve about 8 a day just now and we eat maybe 2. Cost me virtually nothing. We seriously need to stop apologising for the lazy, inept and feckless that we have bred in the UK. They need to die out, one way or the other.

Novice: top or rear handle 18v Makita for occasional use?

Of course he will find someone. You’re in a market where £20 an hour is seen as making good coin. -
His rank hypocrisy and blind hatred for anything Tory is a good indicator that if he’s liked a politically charged post it’s going to reflect heavily on either his rank hypocrisy or his blind hatred for the Tories. I’ve no interest in watching something that he approves of any more than he does with watching someone I approve of.
