Serious question, you keep quoting military age young males.. as if there is a hidden military force out there... so where is it hiding?

This is true, however telling an arborist forum the daily tally isn't going to change a single thing though is it? Winds up a few folk in the morning to improve their day... but nothing we read here will change anything really will it? For that you need to be putting pressure on the politicians, perhaps giving them suggestions for solutions, looking at the issue in depth rather than what the Daily Mail and Farages sound bites allow you to know. I'd be very surprised if there is anyone who reads this thread isn't aware of the issues surrounding migration. So perhaps change the tune, highlight 'making the news today' with something we might not know about - whether it is serious or funny stuff.. but the same story again... and again... and tomorrow as well... Something where I can say to my colleagues "Did you see this" rather than "did you see this" and they push me out the van "Yes, you read that out from the forum yesterday as well, and every day last week, find something interesting to tell us"

No the point I am making is the constant and incessant posts, every other day, 'making the news today' "Illegal immigrants have come", which in this thread is often at the expense of any other discussion. The repetition deserves the contempt he gets.

However I can see the thrill in the D household on a Monday, just after you have finished knocking one out when your 2 favourite topic appear on the same news story "Hey, D, can you take the kids to School" "In a minute Mavis, I just have to post this on the Arborist forum, the guys will be as excited as me to know that Kier is going to do some effective border controls.... Yeah I know most will be setting up on site for a days work just now, it will keep them buzzing till lunch! So excited today Mavis with this news, I could squeal with excitement" However I do think you are posting this on the wrong thread, try the Employment thread - always posts asking for groundies - 30,000 'military age' - so lets assume you know more than me that they are also fit and healthy - would cut the shortage in workers here in a blink of an eye. That would be good wouldn't it?

'Military age'...so where is this army that is being built up over the years? Hiding out on the moors somewhere training up ready for the war to start.... or perhaps trying to build a new life and working in normal jobs, raising a normal family when they are allowed to do so?

You should try dick sometimes, you might like it.

Maybe you should be more eloquent in your rage? FYI though, Fanny is quite outdated round here, usually I get a bit a of dick.

Find it incredible that Trump, besties with Epstein, didn't know of Epsteins preferences, and if he did that means he is complicit in the crimes. Any normal human would have reported him. Worse that he was sampling Epsteins preferences at the time and couldn't say much himself. Also from the tapes was Epstein suggesting that he was only investigated after the pair fell out over a property deal, the timing being a massive coincidence. Perhaps Trump did report him... but years too late. Noting here that his campaign are worried that women are daring to go out to vote, perhaps scared that his various crimes don't go down too well with women (Rapes, sexual assaults, voyeurism (well reported) and as above but from a single source, sleeping with his friends wives). Apparently some American 'men' are willing to forgive him for this and still vote for him... worse are those that selected him as the Republican candidate, fully knowing his past yet selected him raising him up as the only option against the Democrats.

That's hilarious from you - the article starts by slating them for having a petrol car business renting land from them and not an electric car business... what are your views on electric cars again? Impossible to justify?

Fanny? Don't often get that these days, I think the last time I had a fanny aimed at me was when I was about 21.

A reply 25 minutes later..... but not actually saying anything apart from ineffectively trying to belittle me.... obsession.... kylie+can't+get+you+out+of+my+head - Recherche Vidéos WWW.BING.COM

Kind of hoping that she has some ability and competence, it won't take much for her party to turn on her but past experience of them electing a female leader hasn't produced good results: Thatcher started out OK - stuck to her guns and a force to be reckoned with then went a bit mental, May was set up to fail, Truss started mental and stuck to her guns to keep being mental. UK politics needs competent female party leaders. US politics needs that too since their election is in the news too.

So All Hallows Eve.. the Christian festival where we celebrate the dead, and today being All Saints Day.. I think they should read up on their own customs!

Local round table do a decent fireworks and bonfire tomorrow - see what The Boys are doing, and we somehow got roped into a friends for the 5th and to make a strudel with our apples. We've no idea how we ended up committing to baking (and chip in a few ££ for fireworks)

accent is discretionary, moustache is mandatory though

That training is an entirely different website! (Dishwasher installs and lesbian training)

In a word, no, bunging up the exhaust wouldn't be so good. Might be able to do something with a larger chamber and a couple of baffles inside, perhaps double skinned... ask those who mod saws what they do to make them louder and do the opposite... but clear path for the exhaust and no back pressure that wadding would give (2nd or 3rd tip for a poorly performing saw is always check the screen is clean)

A quick search suggests this is a 'Dorset' stove but couldn't find much more about it, 12kw. There is a similar one on ebay - different brand, possibly Chinesium, for about £600 new. I'd assume for a 2nd hand stove you will need new fire bricks and rope seal, looking at this a tin of stove paint as well so factor that into your costs. Very little out there for a cost or worth though - what is it advertised for? Are you planning to install whichever stove you settle on, or get an installer to do it - reason I ask is that some might refuse a new install for an older stove unless they know the pedigree and if it meets current standards, I'd check you can get it installed else you end up with a pricy and heavy cupboard in the corner of the room. When we got our stove installed the installation costs - chimney liner, installation and so on was about half the costs.

No, not your accountant, his accountant, yours would be useless to him....

Its an amazing amount of red tape for something... that isn't happening. Perhaps you need a better accountant who can do these things for you.

I'd agree with you there, petrol and diesel are easy, pay-as-you-go, tax done, submit the receipts for expenses, cannot do that with electric.. in the future they will need to change it about though because someone will always whinge if they perceive that someone else is getting a better deal than them. My plan.... go electric with a couple of kw solar panels will give me free miles, tax free... someone else will moan though if they pax tax on a pay as you go model (petrol station chargers, and perhaps smart metering at home) and I don't... so keep it fair and even,. the same method for all rather than 2 parallel systems... but that is going to be a few years in the future yet.

It is simple, bill comes in "You drove 20,000 miles, £££ please", pass bill to accountant with all the other expenses - recharging, maintenance, cleaning, and so on, and perhaps a note "out of that, 5200 miles were private"... job done... a half decent accountant could do that with their eyes shut.

Thinking of self employed and I know this is a mute point given that pay per mile is currently just an idea, 20,000 miles.. all business miles and claimed as an expense?.... so 15p a mile or 2p a mile... it comes off your tax bill? Pay some tax on one hand, don't pay so much tax on the other?

Mental arithmetic wrong, whoops.

Renault as an example can recycle all their batteries - not sure to the extent though but that's the way to go.
