  1. A positive result at last, wankers will probably get off with it. It would of past thought a few thieving hands first.
  2. No dear, you look lovely?
  3. Some older people bruise easily and it can look horrendous but aren’t always on blood thinners? If your a cutter up a tree or on the ground carry a personnel first aid kit anyway?
  4. If you don’t like or agree with what Johnsond posts don’t keep “poking the snake with a stick”? I actually agree with a lot he says and some I don’t. Not everything requires a response. I sure there’s a few on here that aren’t on this forum to read threads that develop into bickering and chest puffing?
  5. Nice use of timber but Concrete or post Crete is the worst thing for timber posts, traps the moisture and speeds decay?
  6. He’s not working for him, he works with him. It’s the bosses call. If he doesn’t work with you what’s options? Bet there’s not a queue of potential candidates at the yard gate? There’s lots of manual workers out there on blood thinners, angina, cholesterol, diabetes medication etc that are putting a days work in, probably a better option than some of the younger generation? Same with people over pension age showing up a lot of the young ones. At least they’re not looking for an excuse to stay in bed and watch daytime TV or happy to be wrapped up in cotton wool. Good on them all for cracking on with life and work. I might add I’m not on anything myself, just feel people less fortunate in health that want to work deserve a break.
  7. Donald Sutherland, another brilliant actor gone. Oddball “why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves”
  8. He’ll be fine, everyone should have quick clot or similar these days anyway. Also don’t let him shave or play with scissors? I’d be more concerned if he was on coke on the weekend or weed🤔
  9. I’ve made notes throughout the game to enable me to make some constructive comment- shit!
  10. You might be better sticking this in the Forestry section🤔
  11. Did you get your own dog after Eggs?
  12. What do you consider as general labouring? Arb groundy, breaking down branches with a chainsaw, cross-cutting, dragging brash, feeding chipper, raking up. Stacking/ loading wood etc?
  13. Why 25 or over? Is that an insurance requirement.
  14. Just like a mild winters day here. Wood burners on for the evenings.
  15. Being paid for the hours on site and not starting and finishing in yard is complete row locks. If your travelling from home straight to site because it’s closer and easier for you then it’s site hours. Same for subbies, if they travel to yard and travel with the rest they’re paid as well as far as I’m concerned. Thought there was a shortage of decent workers - vote with your feet.
  16. Russian warships including nuclear submarine and frigate capable of carrying hypersonic missiles arrives in Cuba. Cancel your Florida hols. Is that good enough Mike🤔
  17. Very very unlikely to be the same job or career path?
  18. Why not? Won’t it go to his email account if still the same?
  19. Spain was neutral. There were no German offensive forces in Spain, only intelligence and covert operations such as U boat refuelling etc. they could not of invaded Gibraltar from a so- called Neutral country without dragging Spain into the conflict.
  20. The German advance didn’t stop at the British border, it stopped at the moat called The English Channel. If there was no channel and a land border they would have rolled up the UK pretty fast. The German advance also didn’t stop at the Russian border - it got to within 6 miles of Leningrad and 20 odd miles of Moscow. If the front line hadn’t moved faster and further from being re supplied they probably would have defeated the Russians. If they hadn’t of attacked Russia and concentrated on the UK we’d probably be reading this in German?
  21. Does that include food and accommodation? The going rate for both seems to be about £500. As others have said try further south Edinburgh/ Glasgow?
  22. Spurside Sawworks Ross on Wye do an excellent job on circular and bandsaw blades if your in that region🤔
  23. Yes you could. And then go on to be the deputy leader of the Labour Party🤔
  24. He was right. Jack Russel, loyal, smart, small?
  25. When you go and see them ask the thieving scum if they’ve sold my mates two terriers they nicked from his garden. Wouldn’t buy anything from a pikey - just encourages them to steal more!
