Apparently he's incommunicado

Apparently my postie has decided to strike because I went to the door completely naked, seems she was surprised I knew where she lived.

Easy mate, just stop pressing "submit reply". Glad to help.

Always associate this time of year with Betty's recovery a few years ago. Hope all the dogs and dog people of this thread have a good Christmas, all the best to everyone, especially Charlie @David Cropper and Betty @gary112

You're a gentleman on 2 wheels Marcus! Certainly the majority of cyclists through our works think the appropriate way is nip past red, into the work lane, shoogle past the chipper and under the mewp whilst pretending not to have noticed any of it! Seasons greetings to you...

The way that job went for me, it's likely if I tried it I'd just get abused for the one handing element!

Conversely last night when I took the dogs out was ankle deep in rain running down the road, more singin' in the rain than swan lake! Enjoy it...

Looks fantastic J, very jealous as our winter wonderland has disappeared, it's 8c and intermittent rain.

Only from below, I'm silver

Yes, you're enviably astute. I've most definitely made an utter fool of myself by not believing the kimosabi that speaks with forked tongue

I'm keeping up with your windbaggery just fine thanks, all the best.

I thought you did, you can't afford a decent pension/holiday time was what you mentioned, and if your not putting up prices in order to try and keep working when your costs are going up several fold then it's doubtful you're creaming it in.

Working for what though? You'll have first pick of all the shitty little jobs but earn sod all for doing them. It's all very well working cheap to be busy but it's not really sustainable when your costs keep increasing.

Sounds like the race to the bottom business model

But not bitter about it at all. Andy beat me to it.

I was thinking the money could be found by not giving billions of it away to the likes of the Mone woman, Hancock's landlord etc. for no other reason than they know someone in gov.

I'm not sure you get the idea at all. From what I've heard on the matter from friends and family that have and still do serve this country then good working conditions for the military isn't about persuading the enemy during a war or battle not to engage in violent conflict. It's more about them getting a decent level of training, not having to buy their own personal equipment in order to have stuff that's fit for purpose, or providing their families with a decent home to live in while they're serving the country.

Dedication's what you need...

Don't judge a book by its cover as they say. The guy had over 70yrs practice to build up to it.

The thing that makes me uncomfortable about birth control in drinking water is that inevitably there'd be unintended consequences for the natural world. Humankind would blunder into another mass experiment on nature, not just our own species.

For all the new forum members looking for free firewood......
Doug Tait replied to scbk's topic in Firewood forum
Never mind firewood spud, with your reputation I imagine plenty would drop their wife off in return for a ported saw! -
We need to look a very long way back for a time when life wasn't micromanaged by big state.

désolé je ne comprends pas votre seigneurie

Apparently black death was quite beneficial for the survivors, being able to have more say in their lives, earn more, keep more of their produce and in general be less under the thumb of the overlords. For a short time anyway.

Our local primary school seems to mainly engage the children in making signs for "save the bees" and "stop cutting this grass" which they erect on the verge at major road junctions. I don't suppose they explain to them the road safety reasons for cutting verges at junctions though. Ironically of course the school itself is entirely surrounded by tarmac and concrete to keep the wee ones shoes clean, they all get taken and collected in individual cars that cause gridlock as they all have to be dropped right at the gates, and their playing field is cut a lot more frequently than the road verges but no evidence of protest signs there.
