Good recovery!

You're sat there quality time with your family and your thoughts are turning to UK asylum seekers and posting the news report on a UK forum. So either they are not enthralling you or you are not enthralling them for you to be that bored. Serious advice here, enjoy the break, the time with the family, they are only young once. Put the internet away, put your feet up and talk rubbish to the kids, make stupid dad jokes even if they are nearly 30... build memories you want them to have and not the memory of "dad was just stuck on his phone all trip". Your ridiculous political agenda can wait another week, we'll still be there but you won't be in the US next week... so serious advice... and same to all who read this... put the internet away and interact with the family IRL.

That would be a hefty Rowan!

I think if profit is the game then they could splash out £80 on a mains chainsaw, and the same again on some safety kit, cut into lengths as firewood, split it to double the money. Not firewood, split logs of course so as not to fall foul of any ready to burn schemes. Reckon £15 a car boot load would see it go over the summer for the most, but also the most work and hassle. You could ring it up to firewood lengths, be quicker than them but could you do that for £150 or whatever they'd pay for the saw etc. Reading around on the forum here, if someone would take them they are not going to pay what they would for the same from a forest - garden washing lines and nails premium will be deducted.

Comprehension still not your thing then.... you are on your holidays such with your barrel of laughs family that rather then their time you are all over this forum like a rash.

Noting that terrorism laws and updates make it easier to prosecute if the perpetrator is a 'terrorist' and not just a 'murder'

Jeso, your family must be a bunch of laughs if this is the highlight of the first day of your holidays.

Thanks.

I've seen a similar clip where they were digging up the road in high vis and Nike trainers

Disgusted with you Sime42, reposting the image as I read this at the breakfast table with the morning papers, you should have warned us

In New York... a bastion of Trump support if ever there was one. Mind you don't forget to ask the cabbies and shop keepers what their thoughts are, and do please send us a pic of the tourist tat shops full of MAGA merch (Made in China of course - you'd better check that before you buy, and I know you will). Oh, I'd suggest you treat Mavis and the kids to something nice after landing there and jumping straight onto a Forum, I can only imagine the conversation in the taxi "Hey, JohnsonD, that's the Empire State Building", "Yeah, yeah, but that SP needs to be told doesn't he" "Yeah, but JohnsonD, Central park by night!" "Yes, But look here, just got to comment about St George, I've seen Central Park on Friends, no need to look now"

Oooh, pissy tonight muchly? So in order: Rape Gangs: You can level that at any member here, only JohnsonD brings those stories to the 'Making the New Today' thread, a wee obsession of his. Only however if the accused are Muslims. Weirdly silent on the Glaswegian gang sentenced this week (He did reply to a comment I made, but otherwise ignored that) - this gang was reported to be the worst case ever... but all whites and so not on JohnsonDs radar. I wonder why. Weirdly silent on the 86% of gangs who aren't Muslims as well. Odd. Tommy Robinson: 1 reason he is in jail, contempt of court for repeatedly breaching a court order. Simple. Credibility to your idolisation of The Rapist: Answer me this - asked before, and never got an answer. If Mr Trump was sitting in your local boozer, would you stay and socialise, or would you do like any right minded man would do and drink somewhere not tainted by the bestie of a child rapist, who promoted known paedos to his cabinet? would he be welcome in your house for dinner? You sir, cannot see past the orange glow to the man underneath. The man underneath who sees no ills with rich men dong anything they want is not gong to look out for the poor men he is meant to lead. His base characteristics shape his presidential style. Rasism: Look to all the Making the News todays stories you have posted. Ignore the "Daily Starmer" stories where anything that the Labour party do is bad be default, and now count all the negative stories where the perpetrator is white... it won't take long or many fingers. Factually correct however massively racially biased as t what you post and link to... and thinking of linked to.. linked in... have a quick look through who you follow there and perhaps google their name and "links to racism" if you still don't believe me. So a few words there. I am expecting the big man response of a well thought out insult.

5 hours ago, Steven P said: We all know that "there is a difference between radical Islam and your everyday practising Muslim", Robinson doesn't. All the same to him They were your words you tool. All the anger, hate and vitriol you show there, right back at you.

Digressing from the Trump and into defending JohnsonDs racism which is a subject dear to his heart - you'll be here for hours reading the tripe that he types. He is finding it harder and harder to defend his idol, the rapist, serial impeached, failed businessman and apologist for several paedophiles and child rapists, multiple bankrupt (and causing those he owes to also be bankrupt) and headliner of this thread... and yet, JohnsonD would still have him around for dinner, however finding it more tricky to defend his idolism on here. Defending his racism is easier. Feed the Troll if you like.

No it is just Muslims he has a beef with. Generally Muslims who are not the same skin colour as he is, and with that in mind, yes, racist. We all know that there is a difference between radical Islam and your everyday practising Muslim, Robinson doesn't. All the same to him

There is however a massive difference 'stirring things up' and visiting a forum to throw out the insults without any meaningful discussion. On this thread you might like to compare say, GarethM and JohnsonD. Politically I agree with neither. I know I shouldn't name check however will do for the point of discussion. GarethM is able and does hold a discussion together most of the time, which I think is why no one has ever levelled the "how about you give it a break for a while" line at him. He can succinctly make continue a thread without throwing out insults in his second post of the day makes for a discussion and 'stirring things up' as it were. However JohnsonD has shown to be incapable of continuing a discussion past a single post, afterwards for the 2nd and subsequent post just throws out insults to all and everyone.. That is not a discussion, that is not stirring things up. So as far as I can tell Sime42 post was nothing to do with the content of any continuing discussion, his comment was related to the continuous steam of insults coming from JohnsonDs keyboard.

So it's been there since last summer? Covered over though - looking at the grass underneath so partially dried (will still need to be split, stacked and dried - oak - for another 18 months. 2 car boots full, small loads adds a premium (tipper load compared to £15 'sacks' from the supermarket). As above, not a huge amount though, unsplit logs car boot load at £10 a go, so £20 for the lot is where I guess you'll agree with the seller. Be aware that 'oak firewood' is of course the firewood to go for... kiln dried, split and delivered at £180 m3 or whatever it is... this wood is a few steps back from that. Take away the cost to get it to that state and half the price to go to the step below.... so for example £180 m3, this is 1/4m3 max (being generous), £45. Delivery at £10, to give £35, half that to give cost of split logs: £17 and take away labour, 1 hour - so commercially this is worth about £5. So be aware that the seller might be thinking they are onto a big pay day you might need to show them that actually it is not as good as they think, sadly for them.

You sure about that? "You need to get those Chinese told eh " As above, 2 things to reiterate, JonsonDs default is to sink to the lowest possible, to compete at the bottom of the rung instead of striving to be the best, and the response that is just basically an insult laden pile of drivel shows no ability to discuss any point.

Just checking back, the discussion was about energy production and not genocide wasn't it. So throwing in random rubbish and abuse. The lack of any sort of discussion on the topic infers the poster above is making a valid point that you cannot counter and that you do not have a valid point to make.

That's a pointless argument, JohnsonD doesn't understand that sometimes you have to show leadership on a world stage. Someone has to be the one who leads the way and is the best that they can be. JohnsonDs arguments have always been feck the future, let the UK match the worst case, we'll all be dead anyway when it goes wrong in 35 to 50 years, Grandkids can deal with it. Noting that in the case of China and the numbers might be biased due to sheer population size, but they have the most green electricity production, they lead the way in solar panel production at a cost that UK manufacturers cannot profitably match (yet), and is on a par % wise with the UK for green electricity production (about 45%) (or they are just ahead). So maybe we should compare ourselves to China on second thoughts, they appear to be doing as well as the UK and look set to get ahead.

Streetview: In leaf May 2016, out of leaf March 2023.. when none of the trees have leaves on, so I wouldn't take too much from that (unless of course both images were the same month years apart)

Mine is a Qualcast (36V) - cannot get them now, Homebase did them on offer about 10 years ago, from near £180 down to £80, so was worth a punt at the time, and hasn't really missed a beat doing the firewood since then

I reckon with mine that so long as you aren't cutting anything too thick then battery will be as quick as petrol.... but as soon as you start approaching the maximum specified bar length the petrol saw comes out on top.

and not forgetting with that proven oil reserves we have about 35 years left. Keep using it as we do and our dying breaths to the kids will be "ha ha, you're fcked cause we used all the oil and never put anything in place to replace it, enjoy."
