Still stinking of hypocrisy, the well documented hatred of "Net Zero" and yet, happy to take that shiny shilling. EDIT. And a massive bucket load of them too
-
I think you are aware that not everyone who serves comes back all fine and dandy? I think you are also aware that Mark was not talking specifics about JohnsonD? and yet, swing it all back to being about JohnsonD, quelle surprise!

This one intrigues me, 5k cost, you'd want payback in 10 years? £500 a year plus interest, you'd need £800 to £1000 a year in sales to cover it's cost? (10 year payback, paying yourself 10% to 15% interest on the money you loaned the business - any less you'd do better putting it away for 10 years in bonds somewhere). So for it to pay off that is 200 chains a year, plus postage back, plus your time, you'd have to be doing a lot of work with that I think to pay for the machine? Different if you had the machine and wanted it to make a bit of money then you could perhaps discount the repayments, all profit on something you'd have anyway, then 1 chain is profitable. Might be you use it almost as a loss leader to drive other business your way

Ahh, so irrespective of employment, retirement, or unemployment we can all have a political opinion again? Glad to hear that. I'll go back to the default that in a political thread employment status is irrelevant.
-
Straight from the words you typed - your numbers, not mine. Muchly bragging from The JohnsonD about his wages in the past if anyone missed that or the numbers. Mostly the posts were anger that The Labour Party were taxing the high earners more than The Conservatives were, instead of those on an UK average wage, or the lower amount, the average wage in the Arb industry (which are about 1/4 to 1/3 of what The JohnsonD earns)
-
So... is there an approved list of occupations that qualify us to have a political opinion?
-
I reckon I mentioned before though Gareth, I'll let you know when I become king of the world, else generally in a political thread it is an irrelevance.
-
Only using your numbers. ~£120k wage. But... wrong thread.
-
Now I assume 'taxing into oblivion' refers to vehicles. How much of your £120k wage is being 'taxed to oblivion'? However I am pretty sure that Trumpy has nothing to do with that?
-
No, not sure which thread 'Bag of Shite' belongs in, perhaps the ones about litter picking, unless you are referring to politicians in which case POTUS or Labour are good choices.
-
Is that a record for cross threading*. Employment thread Labour thread Tax on 'hilux' vehicle type thread Making the news today thread (where the racist stuff usually goes) But on topic thread Trumping Potus thread? no... * Threading, not dressing obvs.
-
Depends on the model, yes.
-
So even less relevance then to The Potus / Trump? Oh, while you are at it, thanks to Reebok for the trainers I wore so I could run for the bus too. They did their job.
-
Looking back Gareth, the quote is "Funny how you lot are quiet about the recent space rescue."... and the among th reasons no one thought to mention it is that they were just doing their job, and it wasn't powered by Trump. Though NASA is a government agency, its day to day running is not in his remit and commercial decisions are their call. Anyway, Thanks Wrightbus, they got me to work, and back yesterday. Just thought while we are name checking things that did their job I'd thank my transport yesterday.
-
ahh, yes, Elon Musk and his spaceship. All done for free and altruistic reasons?... err no... all done as a normal part of their business.. and for financial reward... and you want us to stand up and say Thank You for doing your job? Compare that to the recent discussions about The Potus Trump, where frankly, he isn't doing his job well and is highlighted.
-
I've not read the reports yet to be honest
-
No, he isn't surprised at it being declassified... that action though has prompted him to speak his thoughts on Trumps performance
-
Yes, they have which is what prompted his grandson to air a few thoughts I think. Proper dissatisfied with the current president. I wouldn't be surprised if they were not declassifying -everything- though
-
But on topic, I see that JFKs grandson is ripping into The Trump today for wiping out all his grandfathers works
-
Just wondering the relevance to Trump and the tools that Peds is playing with. Present company can take any offence at that that they want.
-
What old 'sore-foot-sign-the-note-else-your-evicted' Trump has a back bone? Wow.
-
Are they going up an unlined or a lined chimney? The ones I just saw on Toolstation quotes a 400mm sweeps brush? That set? Lined chimney - the liner will be 6" / 150mm and you will struggle to get that in there. With a chimney stove I'd prefer a more flexible rod than standard drain rod types - in mine I have about 35cm at the base for the rod to make a 90 degree bend to go up the chimney - too tight for 'drain' rods, with no allowance at the chimney liner - 6" brush into a 6" hole doesn't have a lot of wriggle room. Open fire with an unlined chimney the bending radius is OK for a 'drain rod' - I think upstairs I have about 1m to bend it the full 90 degrees. As for the actual brush, a smaller middle will let it makes the bends up the chimney easier. Mine has a dog-leg at first floor level to get around, got to account for what goes on up the chimney

Of course, it wasn't her that he raped was it.
-
So Trump is bang on form here, welcoming a rapist into the White house. All the rapists and abusers he surrounds himself with, I'd keep a count but I've run out of fingers. Almost like he sees nothing wrong with abusing and raping women and children. Morally deficient.

So is there a recession looming in the US? With all Trumps financial acumen and all?
