Yes. You are. As usual.

Retard? Get up to the 20th century with the insults. Anyway, I would be willing to bet I've been along Westgate road, Northumberland Street and the Bigg Market for a night out more recently that you, so don't give the rubbish "know better than anyone else" crap that you usually do. But you are still missing the point and to quote above "comparing apples with oranges". Is it you being argumentative or do you genuinely struggle to comprehend the written word?

We did a roller disco on a holiday couple of years ago - inline skates and I did OK there, but another end of last year on roller skates (quad skates?) - found them a lot harder. It was good fun, music was 'proper' music - at least my era disco. Keep suggesting we give it another go - there is a place up here just roller disco so no excuses really. Mind I do fancy inline skates more, appeals to the runner in me I think - get to see more stuff

Yes, missed the point, probably need to compare Newcastles Bigg Market and multiply the arrests up by the number of people in each to get a fairer comparison. Might also remove the racial bias that is being implied here, since Newcastle is less diverse than London.

Very badly if that counts? Ice isn't too bad, can get around but never had much chance with inline skates... but... the Boy has canoes for feet and is giving me his hand-me-downs for next year.

The man has no shame, all about him and nothing more, nothing less.

However for my scenario, they make sense. Yes, got to have some accountability but also go to to step back and wonder is there is something reasonably practical that can be done to avoid an accident, or to limit its effects if it does happen (seatbelts are a good example of limiting the effects of an accident). Off the back of every piece of legislation there is generally a fatality or a lot of accidents

Your age and climbing experience might actually make you a better tree climber... go the easy safe way rather than all out and taking the odd dodgy move. Age isn't as limiting as you might be led to believe. Constant knocks from tree climbing does take its toll though (you don't have that though 'experience'). What I was going to comment, and I am not sure if they will, but there are a few members here who have been in the military, now doing arb work, who might be able to give unique insights of any issues you might encounter with this career shift.

Reading this, I would tend to agree with the conclusion - should be rejecting violence as an answer - noting that the previous 3 or 4 presidents set out statements this week condoning the attack, imploring this sentiment - the current presidents tone was very very different - he thrives on divisive politics, 'Us vs Them' works well for him but pushes the extremes both ways.. and the further apart the left and right become then more people will decide that direct action such as this is the only solution. No, divisive politics doesn't work... and instead should be working together to go for a common goal that is not "they are bad, they support the opposing party", but perhaps "we are all people, lets all be the best people that we can".

Imagine this scenario... Dodgy company hires an apprentice - lets say an older one, 21 so no issued with needing closer supervision that a 16 year old might, new to the industry, is trained in the dodgy practices. Lets say for argument that the apprentice is cheaper than an experienced operator - dodgy company. Apprentice knows nothing, knows not what precautions to take, and no one could expect them to know... so Emergency stops are fitted to machines.

If you can split them and then let them dry that is better - smaller pieces will dry quicker

Yup, if you look at the map (below for handy reference), you will see Israel surrounded by its friendly neighbours. Never had any trouble between any of them, there would be peace in the region...

It's still out there, we watched it last year

It is however, what built the finances of the US though. See a lot of time "what made us great" is seen through rose tinted glasses rather than what actually happened, romanticised to take away the blood sweat and tears, and most often blood. So if you are hankering after a past where the US was making bucket loads of cash, you need to go back to how they were making it too.

Financially? You mean slavery then. Built off the back of the African slave. (We are not immune to this either - the port cities of the UK were the same - Liverpool, Portsmouth, Glasgow, Bristol...)

Benevolent Arab neighbours... sounds good except the borders are closed, have been for a long time. It was a very crowded piece of land before, and moving the population to a small corner makes the population even more concentrated .. there is pretty much nowhere for them to be evacuated to. Though from your earlier comment - I'd agree hiding underneath hospitals and so on - in and among the civilians is not a decent thing to do for an army. As for 99% of Gaza that the IDF are not carrying out operations in... today.... 90% of housing in Gaza is damaged or destroyed. They have carried out operations throughout the Gaza strip. Are you suggesting perhaps that Hamas should be encouraging its population to march from one end to the other and back regularly, perhaps pushing the hospital beds as they go? No, no where for them to go, no escape for the population.

A lot of rage about a single man shot on a school campus... I think I missed all the posts about the politician Hortman (and her husband) 3 or 4 months ago, and a similar outpouring of anger for the last school shooting - turns out also yesterday with 1 also dead, and end of August with 3 children dead... children who of course hadn't had any chance to upset anyone at all... and start of August (2 dead)... and July, June, May, April, March, February, January (actually every month this year someone has been murdered on a school campus in the US) Just a sense of perspective over the anger shown by this one death yet passing by from commenting on similar ones.

"Unfortunately" a few deaths... a man who had little sympathy himself. I should perhaps clarify... no sympathy but like all murders, I'll condemn them

There are big rumours that Trump is in the influence of the Russians, he came to power cancelled a lot of support for the Ukraine putting back their defence a lot. If he had a backbone where it comes to Putin and Russia he would have given them, or sold them long range missiles, but he rolled over when his paymaster snapped their fingers.

Corrected with italics. Team effort with the gods I reckon, made by a committee.

Quite different from my experiences of A&E - usually been seen reasonably quickly, though I go with the expectation of at least a 1 hour wait, and after care has been really good so far when we have needed it. ... we did get refused treatment once.. but that was because the surgeon knew where we lived, told us to go back home because there was a much more competent surgeon here who would do the job a lot better... we did... drove home, reported to local hospital at midnight, told to be back for 9 am, in and out and in recovery bed by 1, with easter eggs courtesy of the local bikers.

So add yourself to the tip sites, that is a good start if you haven't already. A couple of pointers: Great, yes am sure we can all tip there.. if we know where here is... We could of course give you a call... no we can't, email instead? err, cannot do that either.... But first off register as tip site. Note that most established firms will have somewhere to get rid of their waste sorted, most likely those that use tip sites are away from their home area and want somewhere local to tip to save an hour or 2 round trip.. so you won't get a call every week. Be flexible with what you can take. Split and dried logs tipped are never going to happen but 25kg lumps of wood are more likely if you can cut, split and dry them yourself (assuming this is for firewood)

D'Oh, well that's that camera roll out then.

"Only use credible sources of information" Linkedin!!

Knowing a few grave diggers in my time, I can see them doing that... wicked sense of humour but dead pan expressions after the rudest of jokes.
