  1. You get the cup this week for a top job, but a God awful job😳. Haven’t done one for a few years and don’t want to do one again🤔. They only grow to get ya😳
  2. That’s the way to do it? Start with the biggest mole hill 1st, get the lions share of the work done and it gets easier🤔
  3. I supply Poplar rings to an indoor activity centre. They messed about with wood blocks in a frame and strips before they contacted me. Rings are the most economical for them and reversible. The target is projected on and so the bull can be moved around the target. It just so happened I had removed a couple of trees and kept a few lengths. 750 to 900 diameter and stored outside to slow the drying out.
  4. No, you’re right, tickets won’t guarantee you getting employment. But also not having the correct tickets will also guarantee you won’t get a job with a lot of companies, probably insurance or work for some clients. I have several clients who want to see all of the blokes tickets? Once they’ve seen them and recorded them that’s it.🤔
  5. HK was owned by Royal Ordnance from the mid 90s which then became part of BAE systems, that is why HK was asked to look at improving the SA80. It became by all accounts a good weapon.
  6. Mark, you’ve clipped the sentence, so here’s the end. “,like I do”?
  7. So Vance, Hegseth and others think Europe are freeloading on defence? Looks like the clowns in the Trump circus are getting above their station? Obviously forgotten we helped out in Afghanistan, Iraq 1 & 2, we’ve supported attacks on Houti rebels🤔, and just in case they need a reminder -
  8. Have trees been removed in the past from the property next door(looks like a new building?)
  9. Thanks for that Pete🙄, could be titillating if I was Ken Dodd🤔
  10. Much better than tannalising, electric and telegraph poles were done the same years ago?
  11. Did you only change oil and filter to rectify problem?
  12. You need to fuel up ready for tomorrows work, your fuel tanks empty?
  13. What’s the tank for? If it wasn’t for the braces I would have said for pickling stakes, posts and rails with tar ? But they would be in the way for lifting in and out?
  14. Not a problem Steve. Actually it was quite good catching up with an old friend from way back?
  15. Thank God for that! I found myself having conversations with the missus😳
  16. The NFU or some other group are asking for culling to be allowed where these released beavers are causing problems? If that was my gate there’d be a few beaver skin hats for sale🤔
  17. Some of what Zelensky tried to say was lost in his Grasp of English even though it’s probably better than mine? Both of them were having a go at him with Vance trying to look the big politician in front of Trump. They wouldn’t let him speak because he never bowcowed to them. They showed him no respect at all, he’s a leader of a small nation at war( Trump got a fictitious doctors sick chit so he wasn’t called up to fight?) Trump is dancing to Russia’s tune because of what he can get from them? Putins probably promised him the earth -literally and they’ve decided they can carve up Ukraine between them only Zelensky isn’t falling for it. Trump is exaggerating on what the USA have given to Ukraine since 2014, my understanding is that’s it’s around $135 billion, not 400 and odd as he claims.
  18. Zelensky was absolutely mauled by that prick Trump and Vance. They’re trying to pillage Ukraine and are holding them to ransom. EU need to up their game and support Ukraine more and US told to offski!
  19. You’ll crack it👍. What I’m not sure about is why the company you bought the saw off want a month to sort it? They need to replace it now😫, hasn’t exactly done much work as it and not exactly a good advert for Stihl? New bloke into the industry and his first saw’s a Friday afternoon production job? Tell your supplier your changing brands and supplier?
  20. The Mafias go to tool of choice by the look of it?
  21. Thank you for that one Scotland 👍. You must be very proud 🤔
  22. What’s all that about😳 I thought EU had stopped buying oil and gas? Obviously not, bunch of hypocrites.
  23. What ? Scottish 🤔
  24. So Ukraine not only faces Putin in a war? They now have to contend with Trump supporting Putin? Only a matter of time before the USA are no longer part of NATO? Or that NATO doesn’t exist, if Trump doesn’t agree with the rest of the members there’s no North Atlantic Treaty.
  25. And the Falkland Islands have oil deposits as well? funny old world🤔
