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?
trigger_andy replied to EdGreen's topic in Chainsaws
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.

What don’t you understand? Or should I say what are you turning a blind eye to here?

If Mark J liked it it saves me bothering to watch it.

It’s not like Stoves create dust like an open fire. I’ve not noticed any discernible levels of dust in either of the rooms we run 10/11kw stoves but on the other hand I don’t do the cleaning and my wife does not work 🤣 Currently we are burning “slab/scab” off-cuts. Lots of reloading, lots of ash in the pan but I can’t say I’ve seen an increase in dust in the room.
-
This very much depends on the level of insulation your room has. I’m in a sized living room but run a 10kw with no issues, and I run it fairly hard.

I don’t buy the log scarcity line at all. If there is a market someone will be selling. The fact that the guy above can’t take on more orders shows to me there is a gap in the market for someone to step in and soak up what he can’t handle. And they will, without a split second of a doubt. Not to mention Eastern European Imports. Off-cuts are fine as long as they are solid wood, they just burn hot and fast. Great for a flue clean out, Great for cooking with, great for mixing in with dense hardwoods like oak.

Converting Aga to solid fuel
trigger_andy replied to Mrblue5000's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
We had an oil fired Rayburn until we replaced it with a wood fired Esse Ironheart. Although we did not look to see if we could convert the Rayburn from oil to solid fuel I’d think after the numerous repairs the Rayburn had had that the conversion (if at all possible) it would be a monumental task that would simply not be worth it when you take into account the efficiency of modern stoves. Rip the dinosaur out and bang something that’s genuinely up to the task that you’re asking of it and save some fuel to boot. -
Plenty of easily led cranks wearing battered old masks that look riddled with germs darting about the shops with they’re eyes swivelling about in their heads. More power to them, it should have been like this from the start.

Just like clockwork you pop up like a Jack-in-the-box on a Friday Night after a few tinnies fighting the fine fight of blowing Mark off. Well done….
