  1. I just could not make it worth my time milling sleepers at that price.
  2. You guys need to start calling them mantles and selling them for over a ton.
  3. Same. I’d mill it into exterior used timber. Fencing or cladding as you say.
  4. Normally these idiosyncrasies annoy me to. (Too if I gave a ****************) I know you like a bevy on the weekend and so do I. Tonight I’m bedded with the wee ones as the missus is having a well earned nicht oot.
  5. Cheers Les, you to.
  6. Hope it all goes well Les. You and your son deserve it
  7. Around the world the leaders from each country have been laughing in our faces throughout this plandemic. Masks for the cameras then off to a party. Why are none of them falling down dead from their deliberate and constant ignoring of the covid restrictions placed on the little people.
  8. I seriously doubt I’d need to personally book yourself for a trailer licence. It would be another hawk. But if the shoe fits. 😉
  9. Quite correct. I don’t really care. I’ll take the hit if/when it comes. Much rather that than line a hawkers pocket.
  10. So it’s not really a 67% reduction it’s more like 20%? Anyway, I’m now legal and I’m happy with that. I’ll be even safer now that I’m not keeping an eye out for the lawman. It’s not often the government gets something right but when they do it’s even more rare I benefit from it.
  11. And? Goes completely against what you previously wrote. People protest vote general elections. Supposedly more people in the US voted for Biden than they did Obama.
  12. The number of voters in this by-election shows that’s nonsense.
  13. Funny, when I asked you for this on another thread you said there was no statistics on this.
  14. Not to mention far better tech and standards of cars/4x4’s these days.
  15. I’m glad you all but spoil your vote. 😁
  16. Will be more of the same for the next 50 years. We’ll vote Tory most of the time, then we’ll have a break and vote Labour then occasionally as a protest vote we’ll vote Lib Dumbs.
  17. Damn, I’ve almost just re-written your post. 🤣 The missus likes her MacBook Air. We went with the Pro for our daughter as she likes the wee bit extra ooomph as she dabbles in digital art. This is a self portrait she did for 6th year.
  18. I just bought my daughter a MacBook Pro. As she’s just started Uni as well. We’ve had our MacBook Air going on 10 years and only needed to change the battery. They are very well built machines. Personally I don’t like the operating system and prefer Windows but kids love the Macs and if they’re used for anything Arty then a Mac is the biz. As with anything get the best you can afford. Macs are a pain as you can’t add ram later so make sure it’s the biggest you can get. Personally I’ve found Windows machines quite throw away. You get 2-3 years use out of them abs they’re gubbed. Apple products seem to just keep going and going.
  19. We’re actually quite close in age. 18 months between us. I think that’s the issue. We grew up competing for everything as we had nothing. Seemed to carry over into our 20’s and then then he moved to London. Now he’s back up in Scotland and we have similar interests so we’re working together on lots of projects. Would be interested to see some actual findings on the comparison but I guess in this day and age what’s the point? Not many building open fires. I certainly like yours though. What a cool build!
  20. It’s all well and good waving your IR gun around but it’s quite meaningless. Your open fire has an uncontrollable combustion. A choke in the throat might accomplish something but I’m not sure what. I guess it’s limiting the Venturi effect? Less draws meaning less fuel burnt? Anyway, I love the work that’s gone into that open fire, what an amazing experience and something to remember your brother by. Having just started properly reconnecting with my brother it’s something I can really appreciate
  21. Don’t worry, Les has not been able to see much since he was 13 due to his personal habits. He just pretends he can to fit in.
  22. Back on the oak. Maybe too good for truss ties but will be exposed. Rush order, rush prices. [emoji16]
  23. With all that in mind where is the evidence to back up your claims?
  24. And I’m up here in lunatic Scotland where no matter how you vote we end up with the SNP. The SNP propped up by the Greens. The Tail now wagging the Dog forcing the SNP to pretend to want to do away with our biggest asset, Oil. A massive new project has just been abandoned due to the Greens demands and Sturgeon’s weakness at a loss of around 2000 potential jobs. Coalitions you say? Yeh, as I said. No thanks.
