Yes, father owned several guns (20+ in the reports), but the boy was obviously a criminal since he stole one of them. If only there was a quick and easy link to be made from the scene of the crime (legally owned gun being stolen crime) and the criminal who stole it..... it would blow my mind if there was.

Making the news feeds this morning in Vance, who sounds like such a well adjusted, rounded, tolerant individual that you might want jetting all over the world, to all countries and cultures with respect and understanding. I wonder with Trump at the helm and him as his assistant, the world is suddenly going to get a lot more exciting

Perhaps and without giving away too much personal details, have a go at a few lines or paragraphs and post them here - see what we can suggest - it might help others in the future as well? Perhaps an outline would help to make things up: Introduction - who you are, why you are writing What you are looking for Your skills / qualifications / location / ability to travel (the hard sell) Thanks for reading so far, ask if possible to follow up by calling them Note though, it has been a few years since I was last looking for a job, the above is just a starter

There are load though I tend to alternate between the gods of chocolate and the gods of beer if I want stuff, not sure why. I've still got a few to work through based on that

Old man pissed up can't climb stairs, old man coked up having to really concentrate to drink. When I get to 80 and am having the parties these 2 are going to (based on the photos) I'd be happy

Likewise, nice morning, was about to put the laundry in, it rained, too late for laundry, it got dry. Nothing to do with cloud seeding, just the deity of choice is taking the piss out of me today (both are equally believable).

agree with the above - your tools, to grab them without asking is wrong. More important when it comes to power tools. Be slightly different if the father in law was suitably qualified and experienced, I get the feeling he isn't and was just 'having a go' - but with experience you would ask. Regardless of the price or not if the saws get damaged it is your livelihood and wages taking a hit if they get damaged and out of action, likewise your expenses to replace chains and so on. If you are there with your team they will all have signed up to your risk assessments and safe way of working, very much doubt he took the time to read through them? Again your wages at risk if his actions put you or your team out of action. I think a firm no, "My job site" and off you toddle would be the solution - and if he insists on helping there should be loads of related safer jobs he could be doing.

I think it was defined as something like 3 or 4 victims within a set space of time (walk into a school like they enjoy doing and shoot many people = mass shooting, shoot 1 person a month over a year = not a mass shooting, just a mass murderer)

I'll put my 'however' as a separate comment... we can argue the nuances of gun ownership, criminality, types of gun and so on, they are 2 opinions and I don't think any amount of words would convince any of us to change our minds. End of the day though, Trump was shot at, like Marmite, love or not, he should be safe doing his job.

If you look up gun murders by country, the US tops the league from what I would consider the stable countries of the world - places like El Salvadore and so on, less stable have more per head of population. The second link is limited in scope but shows compared to comparable nations gun ownership vs gun deaths as a handy chart. If you want my opinion, the more of anything legally owned in society will be mirrored by those illegally owned in the case of guns and so on. List of countries by firearm-related death rate - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG How the number of guns compares to gun deaths in the US - Vox WWW.VOX.COM The US has lots of gun violence. It also has lots of guns.

The news I was reading this morning said they thought he was legally allowed to own guns

They should both be retired, maybe Trump was right that at 78 you are too old to be a president.

Heat treated - "Kiln Dried", possibly softwood (not sure what kind), small volume to surface area, is going to burn quickly. I'd use it as kindling, easy to split into small pieces

Takes me a while to appreciate the finer things in life, mostly because I have to find my glasses first.

Does seam a waste of effort, collect it up to a compost heap and then spread it back on the grass later in the year... but... personally I have to consider my health and safety for trekking another load of grass clippings into the house when I come home.

alleged rapist, not been to trial to prove in a court of law yet (in a similar vein that Nigel Farage is a racist)

It was money that put Al Capone away - tax evasion (and in prison he caught syphilis that killed him). From what I have read, not nice men, didn't they get arrested for rape somewhere too?

Go on then, point out the lie?

Ignoring your insults -again- and noting that out of all the members the insults only come from 1 keyboard -again- Even the most optimistic among us are realising that in this century the oil reserves will be run out, whether it is my opinion (based on reading) of about 30 years or the very optimistic of about 60 to 70 years.. that is probably within the lifetime of us, our children and their children. I am sure I have mentioned this before. At that point our descendants will popping over for a sandwich Sunday dinner and asking "Dad, you know when you realised the oil was going to run out on us, what did you do?". We can look to the future, look at our families and neighbours and accept something must be done to replace oils. Or we can whinge about it and stop all projects because it inconveniences a handful of people (in the greater scheme of things). You might be surprised, might not be surprised but my thoughts is that pulling together society is far greater than individual parts of it. Nuclear power is an option - I am sure a bit of de ja vu here - but the way the UK is going I wouldn't be surprised if I only ever see Hinkley operating in my lifetime - there needs to be something else. So create the green energy, and you can only create it where nature supplies it - cannot ship wind or waves into London if they don't go there. Profits from SSEN, and others, sound like a lot of money, but in sales and customers there are a lot of them too. Granted that this year they are generally more profitable than general UK companies.. however electricity pricing is kind of governed by OFGEN and the electricity companies don't have a lot of say in the price they pay for energy or the retail price. I believe that gas prices went up a lot in the last 18 months... the mark up on that and electricity generation went up proportionally and they made more profits than usual. Wind turbines and so on should make the costs cheaper to us... but the price paid is set by gas prices (I think that is government controlled). So, yes, large profits but I don't think it was down to them profiteering, external factors created them. Right, back to your insults and usual debating abilities.

Or... as a nation we can be held to ransom by the more unstable but oil rich countries as the oil runs out in the next 30 years or so. Sorry to say but in a society the needs of 60 million outweigh the needs of 1.

Could the pores be going getting bunged up over time and just need a blast with a hose? (disclaimer of course in case you do that, damage it and blame me)

Should have paid attention in School: Crusades - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Something like this? Husqvarna X-GUARD BIO Chain Oil 5L | Husqvarna Chain Oils WWW.SAM-TURNER.CO.UK Husqvarna Fuels, Oils & Lubricants available from Sam Turner & Sones | Husqvarna X-GUARD BIO Chain Oil 5L Bio- oils can be made from all sorts of materials, economies of scale will drop the prices. Interesting quote was pig manure, if they can do manure they could harvest a couple of threads on here.....

Did you read the article Johnson,D? A quick 17 word summary if full articles are a struggle: One day Oil all gone. That day, all oil jobs gone. Article say lets plan for that.

More distance = bigger towers. I am not sure the economics but suspect a coating for the odd 50m here or there is going to be cheaper than increasing the spacing. Recoating every few years is not a massive task either
