From someone who gloats about having an accountant find loopholes for you to pay virtually no tax and justify that because its what the Party you despise does. From someone who is openly discussing the idea of moving to a Country to make use of their 'free' benefits such as Uni and Prescriptions but is openly looking at keeping his business in another Country to even further minimise his tax exposure I find this post yet another example of your blinkered and rank hypocrisy.

I was a bit excited about it. Not paying that though.

He seems like a right bellend. Im glad Im shot of him. No time for folk like him just now as Im out the door with Timber orders and Processing work this coming time off.

It crossed my mind to lift it and replace with clogged up Beech. Id be doing him a favour really.

Nothing remotely like that. After a year of dealing with him regarding this tree and a nice 900mm Ash he wanted Milled up and assisting him along the way his attitude and his threats to turn it into firewood as he claims Im charging to much for milling time I told him to burn the fecking lot then. Dave can testify to how my customers regard me. Ive passed his number to Dave as a matter of fact. We're playing good Cop/bad Cop. Dave will now sound like his savior and get a good price outta him.

This Walnut looks like it could be a cracker. 700mm diameter and 4.5m long. He’s gonna cut it up for firewood now though because he’s taken the huff. 🤣

Thats why I let the lads get on with it and I supervised with a coffee in my hands.

Yes and yes. The weather is very odd just now. 3" solid ice on the deck and blowing a blizzard and the next its all melted. -5 one day then +6 then next. Its -20 with the wind chill though. Never had so much layers on at work before. Making Electrical terminations in a sideways blizzard at those temps with bare fingers is a challenge I can tell you.

Im at work! Drinking coffee and bossing people around in the Barents Sea counts as work, right?

Just had my first enquiry for milled products from the Saw Mill Directory. Hopefully something will come of it. Burr Oak wanted planed up.

I get the use of the Red Dragon RP-200 and put 4" x 12" through it no bother, its designed for up to 6". Its a scary beast but gets the job done. The last time I used it I was getting rid of milling waste and filled about 14-15 full 1m3 bags in 2.5 hours on my own.

Finally some good news. That positioned dwarf finally got what was coming to him.

What Stove do you have installed? Is it new or old? Sounds like you have a sealing issue and should address that first. Also consider mixing in some hardwood with your soft so you have a better burn.

Well I found this comment intentionally antagonistic. ''People who don't vote for independence because they don't like the SNP or Sturgeon are short-sighted beyond belief." Dont like an antagonistic comment then dont dish them out then get you panties in a bunch when you get one back. Its a fairly simple concept.

That old chestnut, eh? It’s been done to death so I’ll not waste much time in it. But for me it’s much akin to voting for Putin or Kim Jung-Un to deliver a result we wanted to only find out after that there is simply not another party to vote for. It would be generations before another party could rival the SNP and by then I believe Scotland would be ran into the ground with their ineptitude and anyone with a half decent salary would be taxed into either leaving that job or leaving the country. The SNP can’t run the country now whilst being propped up by Westminster I shudder to think of their abject failure yet still finding a way to blame the English. No thank you. I’d only vote for independence if the SNP disbanded in its entirety afterwards and handed stewardship over to an unaffiliated group/party. The roadmap the SNP have planned holds no water and is a Pipe Dream for Braveheart Chest Beaters like yourself.

We as a nation voted in a democratic referendum to remain in the Union in full light of the fact if we stayed our voice/vote would have no sway in future elections or indeed Brexit. The SNPs version of project fear made this abundantly clear and used it as a way to scare us into voting to leave the Union. Sturgeon has repeatedly stated she is only doing what the people of Scotland want. But the reality is she’s desperate to get through her own agenda. If she truly respected what the people of Scotland wanted then she’d accept the referendum result. But to go one further it’s been claimed that more people living in Scotland voted for Brexit than have ever voted for the SNP. The SNP being a party that needed the Greens to prop them up. Hardly a mandate for Indi2 and a clear indication at the lack of enthusiasm for Another referendum. Nicola Sturgeon news: More Scots voted for Brexit than have EVER voted SNP says Tory MP | Politics | News | Express.co.uk WWW.EXPRESS.CO.UK NICOLA STURGEON and her SNP were humiliated in the House of Commons on Wednesday after a Tory MP claimed... Now I’m all for a genuinely independent Scotland but not with that mad cow at the helm of a bunch of Commie Pinko nobodies who have demonstrated repeatedly that there is no bottom to their ineptitude.

I absolutely did not tell you that Leslie. Every single thing I own was bought and paid for with money I earned. Every since piece of equipment I own was paid cash. Since we’ve never communicated other than over this forum I expect you can back up that claim?

Its simply sound business practice. My outlays will mitigate whatever tax Im due for this and the previous tax years. I dont intend on making firewood and timber anything other than a sideline that wipes its face. But dont worry Leslie, no doubt I pay more in tax a year that you earn, thankfully on the whole not to HRMC though.

Im was pro-brexit and very much an SNP supporter before and during the Independence Referendum. Now my views are clearly not the same as back then. No died in the wool with me. I genuinely wish there was a legitimate alternative to the most obvious party to vote for but there is simply no viable alternative. Everything Mark posts up can equally be pointed to the main contenders.

Actually yes. For one thing Im trying to build the business and the more money going through it will look better if I want to take a business loan in the future. I use Quickbooks and provide an invoice for each order.

Surely you realise that xenophobia and racism are all but interchangeable in the eyes of the law these days? I know you're well aware of this because you very rarely ask what you believe to be a smug yet clever loaded question which in reality its blatantly obvious what you're playing at.

Why would anyone who is (Supposedly) Pro-Boris or to a greater extent Pro-Tory be upset with with verdict? This is at the very core of what being a Conservative is in my opinion where a Mans home is his Castle. Where you have the right to defend that Castle. The opposite is true when it comes to the types of hate filled parties you seem to support.

On the contrary. You openly admit to being a tax dodger who makes use of the same dodgy loopholes these scum bags use because they are there to abuse and if they will so will you. Which makes you just as bad as them, worse as you pretend to be some sort of White Knight Liberal. Practice what you preach Mark because right now you're just another tax dodger.

Its one thing to have an accountant to ensure you're paying the correct tax and to keep your hands clean. Its an entirely different kettle of fish to hire an accountant to find the loop holes that will allow you to pay far less tax than you should be then post on an almost daily basis when the very party you seem to hate so much do the very same thing.

Happy days! Glad he got off with it.
