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.
-
By my reckoning the mile long copy-paste posts will go quiet at about 6:30 when the battery dies.

Probably, I am not sure about the fat pill, whether they will just line them up at the job centre, fatties one way and jab, jab, jab, or whether being unemployed will tick a box at the GPs if you ask for it and be given ahead of receiving healthy eating, diet, exercise and lifestyle advice. You'd get it if you want to work but are unable to.

Never ending question after question... often they are the same question repeated in a different form for the hard of understanding. Oh and 'Morning!! but while you are talking questions, you forgot to answer this one.... Same single question just asked again till you give an answer. "If Trump raped your wife, grabbed your children by the genitals and then popped into a changing room to watch them all changing would your view be any different? This is what he has done. Raped someones wife and child (at least one), 'You can grab them by the pussies' and well reported that when he had Miss Universe he'd wander into the changing rooms of the 20 year olds for a good look. Note also that he was besties with Epstein... whose close circle of pals are also dubious.. but Trump alone is not, hmmmmm? and has also commented that he would be happy to sleep with one of his daughters"

8 to 10% a year increase in value is better than a banks 1%

Trump is the badly chosen figurehead for the Republicans. I think their policies would broadly be the same on immigration regardless of leader, and perhaps they would do better than appealing to those who shout loudest and going with those who are more competent. Looking at the US presidents, they have their 2 term rule because America tend to vote the incumbent president back in again - most serve 2 terms (excluding Trump, Bush, Carter and Hoover in the last 100 years they all have - Ford is an exception since he wasn't elected president in the first place). The thing being, if Trump wasn't president they would still have a Republican administration. Trump is a badly chosen leader, failing his party. Then there is the matter that a lot of people want to gloss over his various crimes and accept that a rapist, sex abuser, and voyeur should be rewarded as a leader, president, figure head and role model.

Looking forward to the day when I commute to the office and not see any green space. 4 bedroom executive houses do nothing to help anyone if the new buyers cannot afford starter homes till their mid thirties. Locally loads of new builds here, but no new jobs in the town, no new facilities (community halls, churches, pubs, local shops), bus routes, but the builders do leave unsuitable-for-a-house postage stamp sized green space 'parks'. All these houses are are places to sleep

Seeking advice on best tool to deal with bramble infestation
Steven P replied to jonrec's topic in Landscaping
I find my 'DIY warehouse' own brand lawn mower will get through a lot on level ground - including brambles. Generally I'll hedge trim the brambles in the wood down to 2" off the ground - enough to not catch the blade - though a lot of bending - and then mow the rest. Wear big wellies, steel toes, and discard the grass collector. Own brand mower so I am not sad if break it a bit. An option if you have a mower available. Other options above are probably better -
I'll take your lack of answer that you find a rapist, sex abuser and voyeur as a suitable role model. Would love to see your dinner table talk with your kids as you explain to them why these crimes are acceptable in a leader and role model, someone to aspire to be? (I am not sure I made any assumptions above, stated known facts and asked if you find them suitable qualities in a role model, someone to hold up to the family and say "aspire to be like him")
