Back on the Norway Spruce for my Log Cabin Build. Late start today but managed to get 14 x 6" x 6" x 5.7m Beams knocked out. I had initially planned on just cutting the Beams and leaving a load of waste for firewood but ended up cutting 1" Waney boards and 6"x1" Boards as well. More time consuming but seemed a shame to waste the timber. Will either sell them or use them on my Drying shed whenever I get around to that.

Dead trees and 5m3 allowance

The Estate behind me has a few plantations. He says the rules have changed and he now needs a felling licence for sub 4” which he says is a huge pain. I might have picked him up wrong though, I’ll ask. -
What kind of Strawman reply is that? Anyway, let’s not clutter up this thread any further. It’s clear you’re itching for the argument you ran through in the shower this morning but I’ve better things to do today.

You knew you’d be in for it? Good grief, I replied in a respectful way which I suspect is not what you where hoping for but I guess you had your retort already planned out so you had to went with it anyway. My point stands though, you have an opinion that differs from mine. You’ve voiced that a few times now. But that’s ok, since it’s your opinion, but according to you I’m not allowed a differing opinion from those who try to force their opinion on a sizeable portion of the global population. Your argument is nonsensical.
-
That’s generally how things work. You clearly think my opinion is wrong. Why is it ok for you to think my opinion is wrong but I’m not allowed to think others are not? I’m more than happy to people to have other opinions though, the big difference is I’m not trying to force my will on those people.

I’m certainly no expert, mind. The Big Oil Companies would love to exploit our reserves but I think the current politics and uncertainty of the UK is very off-putting. No such issues over in Norway and they’re running flat out opening new fields and re-developing old ones. We’ve never been so busy and have been hiring like crazy. The Big players like BP and ConocoPhillips are investing huge amounts. The British Government has always been keen to down play what reserves we have in predominantly Scottish Waters due to independence fears. As long as that still hangs over our heads I can’t see there being any real investment in the O&G fields. If the SNP get independence I can’t see that being a positive sign for the Operators either, not with the SNPs tax tax tax mindset.

At your age it’s little wonder you have a weak D. 🤣

I feel you’ve started some sort of fan fiction gay porn here. I can see why you’re called the Ratman. You’re like a Rat up his proverbial drainpipe.

I agree. It’s a frightening place these days. Covid has allowed almost every western country to impose fascist policies without much resistance at all. It does not help when you’ve half the nation (and half this forum) wanking them off as the do so. (You know who you are) But Canada is a vast country where you can just vanish if you so wished. But re-emerge and want a bone set? No vaccine? Well fark you. We’re sleep waking into this. And the usual suspects are scoffing the whole time. The Twat here who blows with the wind is finally seeing the writing on the wall. He really is a simp. 🤮🤣

I’m 42, not so young. My job could could potentially get me anywhere I wanted globally. It’s not the points system nor expertise that’s the limiting factor here. It’s the missus. Not to mention the fact I’d earn half as much as I do now and be expected to work twice the days at a minimum.
-
You’re not thinking clearly J. Being the only Brit you’ve clearly marked yourself as the most unattractive in the room. Invite me and you’ve halved those odds. You’ve gotta think smart. The Nordics (rightly) see as in the same light the Romans seen the Western Europeans. (Celts, Huns etc) exciting but dirty heathens. The Scandinavians love our “brown” pubs, our football and the chants that come with it. They come over, often with season tickets, to scream and roar. To chant, to experience the rougher side of life then take a flight home to a far superior standard of living. The working class people in the stands think they love us and want to emulate us but they’re sorely mistaken. They’ve just taken a day-trip to the Zoo.

In Louisiana I was asked if I Squeal like a pig. I’m told there is no greater form of endearment there. Swedens views on immigration are truly misguided. It’s destroying the country and destabilising it at the time. Intentional? I guess time will tell. But if you wish to run from the event horizon of globalisim there’s few places left in the western world. Id plum for Canada info was a bit younger,

I picked you up wrong then. I though you had a mortgage for a modest home in Devon (all relative) and selling allowed you to release capital to purchase outright? I guess I’ll put my soapbox back in it’s drawer. 🤣 Come on J. We can join that other lad on here that does the group sex commune thing. At least if we do it in Sweden we can pretend we’ve made it a personal choice.
-
Rome was bad enough. 😳
-
Well it’s a blessing and a curse I’ll just have to live with I guess.
-
J, the only reason you’re in the fortunate position of owning a property in a more socialist country is purely down to taking a mortgage out in a more capitalist country first. You’ve reaped the rewards of an ever increasing housing crisis in the UK and dipped. Your sorry is not one of socialism but one of pure capitalism. You know I’m really chuffed for you and I know you’re gonna make it work. All down to your determination and work ethic. But Geeezo, you’ve played the capitalist system and won. Nothing more. I might join you in a few years. 🤣 We can milk our communal cows together whilst ensuing our compound is free of roving gangs looking to loot and rape. 😬

Seems like it’s easier to visit the queen in person than the easily spooked Mark JJ. Always a bit sick when someone’s in town so I hear.
-
I must admit, it’s a bit unfair in painting Sweden with the same brush as Malmo. It’s like saying England is as bad as London or Bradford. I’m much happier in a rural setting. Im not gonna get raped out here, no matter how much I try.
-
Shit 🤣 But shit and the rape capital of Europe.

You to Egger.

Ive got your back.

Im not so sure. I'll take that quid bet. Watch out Dempsie will be along sooner or later with an offer I cant help but refuse.

It has to be an investment if you're being forced into spending upwards of £30,000 in upgrades to a property where the law has given all the rights to the tenants. In Norway the owner has far more rights than they do in the UK. But of course houses, like they are globally, are seen as an investment. This is something thats never ever going to go away unless we go full on Communist.

Oh well….

Shell pulled out due to the SNP requiring the Greens to prop them up in Government. The Greens demands are basically shutting down or stopping any new fields. The SNP are then stuck between a rock and a hard place. Depending on O&G for an independent Scotland to work and pretending to wanting to go Green. The Cambo field was the sacrificial lamb to appease the Greens. Shell does not have time for that nonsense.
