Quite correct. I don’t really care. I’ll take the hit if/when it comes. Much rather that than line a hawkers pocket.
-
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.

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.
-
The number of voters in this by-election shows that’s nonsense.
-
Funny, when I asked you for this on another thread you said there was no statistics on this.
-
Not to mention far better tech and standards of cars/4x4’s these days.
-
I’m glad you all but spoil your vote. 😁
-
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.

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.

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.

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!
-
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

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.

Back on the oak. Maybe too good for truss ties but will be exposed. Rush order, rush prices. [emoji16]

With all that in mind where is the evidence to back up your claims?
-
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.
-
You assume I keep voting for it. We need a fundamental step-change. What we don’t need it some idiots with a single agenda being handed the keys to number 10. As bad as things are that would be monumentally worse. You not voting for Starmer and me supposedly voting Tory just results in the Tories getting the massive win they got at the last election. You’re as much a part of the problem as you believe I am.

We’ve been in a race to the bottom in British Politics since at least Blair’s time in power. To clarify, there is less and less accountability, they are more and more brazen in their sleaze and willingness to break the rules, their pledged and their own supposed ethics then just saunter off into the sunset on their buddies gravy-train. The Tories, the Lib Dems and Labour are all at it. Just like most things the Tories are simply better at it. This is has nothing to do with Brexit, this is internal British Politics that has existed long before the remotest possibility of Brexit was on the cards. There has been far more Brexit wins than there has been losses but failings in British accountability and Brexit are two separate issues. Perhaps we followed the EU’s playbook of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats neck deep in corruption and cronyism a little too closely?
-
I’m not dyed in the wool. I’m exasperated that’s we’re in a race to the bottom and that the Tories have free reign because the opposition is so weak. I am actually having to pay tax to Scotland these days unfortunately. Due to the SNPs policies off offering everything for nothing to maintain power we pay 1% more up here than England. Couple that with the disgusting policy of removing the tax free allowance when you go over a certain threshold means that I have a a higher liability in Scotland than I would in Norway. Such is life.
-
You’ve given a non-viable answer in my opinion. What we need is accountability. If we can’t have that then trying to replace the two main parties with smaller ones with lunatic axes to grind is only going to compound the problems we already have. As I say, Scotland and the SNP are a prime example. That’s me starting my day Eggs. 😁 Make Hay when the sunshines and all that. Gotta keep the SNP voters in the lifestyle they’re accustomed.
-
I’ve asked what can we do. Voting for lunatics is not the answer. We see that in Scotland.
-
I can see why you deleted the picture of the wrecked boat dumped on that council estate as it’s a perfect metaphor for what we could have had under Labour. 🤣
-
I don’t like what the fringe freaks offer here in the U.K. But no I don’t think coalitions work. We seen how well that worked for the Lib Dems and Labour the last time.
-
Oh right. No thanks.
