Might be the wrong thread, thinking of organising a golf trip, anyone up for it? thinking some sunshine and all that, Qatar anyone? Might not be the wrong thread after all (the news reports this week is Trump is planning a 5.5 billion investment golf course in Qatar, which half a chance will go bust like the others and the Qataris knowing this will pick it up for cheap. Wonder where this $400 million bung to take business there comes into it all). Of course after this jet has had $billion spent gutting it and rebuilding over the next 3 years... about the time the original Air Force One replacement will be delivered, it goes to Trumps 'Library' and becomes his to use as he wants. I also note that Trump has allowed AI chips to be sent outside of the US which is awfully lucky considering Saudi has just shown him the plans for the world largest AI training centre... so much for his rhetoric of US taking all the jobs and the fight he had with the tech giants over immigration, looks like he is shafting them bigly style; no immigration from this training centre to the US and the same centre will train the rest of the world leaving the US behind. US gets to sell $10 dollar chips though.

Free movement within the EU... but they are still living in Romania, Bulgaria and Poland, there wasn't a mass exodus, their countries aren't empty. Almost like that was a scare story and never was going to be true. Perhaps you are scared that the Poles et al have a better work ethic than you and they will get work ahead of you? Where as the UK outside of the EU has seen a mass influx of Migration from outside of Europe, from countries where there are fewer common values. 1 million approved migrants a year in a system set up by the government that brought you Brexit... all from outside of Europe. More immigrants after Brexit than before. Personally I'd take my chance on the Belgians, but we don't like them any more.

Exactly, all the people working together, free to go where they please, to work unrestricted in any country, to holiday unrestricted in any country and to trade unrestricted with any country. By way of example, the USA, an alliance of states, where all the people are working together, free to go where they please, to work unrestricted in any state, to holiday unrestricted in any state and to trade unrestricted with any state, and also one of the biggest and most stable economies of the world.

Suspect there might be strops happening with you voicing a rational opinion

But Liverpool girls have some class though.

Distraction, though there is time yet for Trump to realise the benefit of being out in PJs, the girls in Liverpool only go out in their best PJs, not their night time ones.

I'd be guessing that RF Kennedy will be pushing that vaccine though, affecting his core voters, bound to be OK.

Its a tan, Brian Jack from Georgia says so. This GOP Rep's Explanation To High Schoolers About Trump's Orange Complexion Is Very, Very Funny WWW.BUZZFEED.COM "These kids are going places."

Ahh, photoshop in the thread about the President accepting bungs (the airplane) from Qatar, the state he described as "funding terrorists"

So immigration into the nation that was built on immigration has dropped, is that the only good thing he has done? All the bluster and huffing he has made and that is all? And a $2000+ tax bomb on all Americans of course. Ignoring the 'look over there' comments, perhaps they would be better in the 'Labour' thread rather than the one about Trump.

Go on then, apart from his $2000+ dollar tax hike, errr, tariffs, what has Trump done that is good so far?

Oh, he is in the Newbury area (from his other post)

You're talking to the wrong bloke here, it's the Rapist-fan, JohnsonD who was showing interest in Saunders today and likewise he had a thing for Sturgeon a while back top - I don't think it was a sexual thing but you never know - so I reckon you are better off talking to him about that too? Don't think I have ever brought either of them up as a topic of conversation. Edity, Cause we all love a good edit. Suspect you are also trying to shift focus away from this threads headliner, throw in Saunders, throw in Sturgeon (not a US politician), and Salmond (likewise never been a US politician).Makes me think... what is it that you don't want us talking about? Trumpy and his bribes or baby Trumpy and the bungs he is taking (which incidentally dwarf Hunter Bidens....)

I have a feeling of living in a parallel universe, it was your pal, JohnsonD, who was talking about Saunders here, crying those crocodile tears of his that Trumpy, rapist in chief, is getting stick that his new jet is a bung from Qatar and trying to shift the focus. I never brought him up. So as we don't forget. Trump has been given a flying palace from Qatar, apparently no strings attached. I am sure that is all legit.

Oooh, boo hoo, your hero, rapist, and all time great guy, Trump is getting some stick for accepting a $400 million bribe from Qatar so you post "Don't look at that, look at this guy". No, a bribe is a bribe, and this one is bound to be bugged to death and comes with expectations from Qatar and a payback of more than that.. which the US population of course will suffer for.

Flying palace.... the security services would need to practically rebuild it to make sure there are no strange hidden microphones inside

You reap what you sow. As I implied, with you on the forum, it doesn't take long to descend to abuse.

Doesn't take long does it? Back to the usual vitriol, same stuck record, no discussions, no chat, only insults.

So now they are re-writing history in the US, am surprised in the digital age when so many records are so easily accessible: Fact Check: Yes, Oklahoma's new academic standards say to teach students 2020 election fraud myths as fact UK.YAHOO.COM Election fraud conspiracies promoted by U.S. President Donald Trump are now officially part of the state's learning targets for high schoolers.

You surprise me on your newsfeed, I didn't think you'd get anything about golf courses, just have an impression that that isn't your thing. I only saw the one article recently mind about pesticides and their long term effects on the grounds keepers.

So going back a bit to something that is making the news today and not making 'JohnsonDs Newsfeed very bloody day' I'd read this report. Relevant to this forum since a lot of the members don't just look after trees but also do grounds maintenance as well.... but somehow passed by by the constant regurgitation of the same news story. My view here, yes golf courses are a ecological nightmare, and to keep them that way affects so much around them. You might say that farming does the same but with economic factors, over spraying on a farm eats into their small profits, over spraying on a golf course isn't really a massive cost compared to all the others they have. Likewise with over use of chemicals, so the story doesn't surprise me... but might be a handy reminder t us all that what we use at work might have implications far down the line.

Didn't we discuss asylum seekers and immigration the other week, I'd have to check of course but sounds like a broken record to me.

For him and his German kids, open borders are a necessity. Hypocrisy of Brexit, all for it so long as his foreign family are OK to travel here. His Reform councillors aren't doing so well just now, about half a dozen elected last week are either suspended, defected or left Reform.

Right Freddi.... Appreciating that this might be your first venture into the world of work... and good luck... you are also talking to a lot of grumpy old me (just so you know) and when they get round to it will give some advice but might also start talking utter rubbish, Anyway, 19 words are not a lot for us to work out whether to give up a tea break and give you a call to find out more... so sell yourself! Remember that a few extra carefully considered words could get an interview, a job offer with a wage... a few careful words could be worth thousands every year to you! The world of Arb is quite diverse, what would you like to be an apprentice doing? For example, some aspire to climb trees all day long, some think that running operations on the ground are more their thing, domestic tree surgeons or felling plantations in the wilds of Scotland (weekly commute). Can travel... do we assume you have a little run around car? Do you have any previous experience - not necessarily working on trees, but for an apprentice not so necessary either - the will to turn up each day and put in some hard work is often more important. What about practical skills, can you maintain your car (as the army advert says, if you can maintain your bike, you can maintain a car, if you can maintain a car, you can maintain a chainsaw, if you can do that you can maintain a chipper....) So add a few more words to sell yourself, A lot of people looking to get work fail at the next hurdle... they post here once and never come back, never interact with the thread... don't do that... sell yourself, it might work, it might not. Nothing wrong either with getting your folks to give you some pointers of what you can do and bring to an employer (oh, one thing, don't put too many personal details on a public forum, odd people about sometimes, add enough to be interesting to employers)

Second comment, I saw the news last night of him being offered to the crowds below and to a person, every one of the crowd had their phone videoing rather than living for the moment... almost as if they'd forgotten that moment was covered on every TV channel, every angle, in far better quality than their Nokia will ever record. Just hit record on the VCR and job done.
