Alright. You were here two hours ago and still didn't answer the question I asked last night. Let's try a different one. What's your legal expertise?

Now that's a more pertinent question. The AA would look pretty silly having their representatives giving public legal advice if said representatives were not both qualified and insured to give such advice. I will read the answer to that question with interest.

You were online for a while after I’d asked last night. It’s half way through Monday now. 
 

How long ago did you last climb a tree?

You do realise you are coming across a bit ' jealous teenage girlfriend' don't you? 😁

That is a contradiction in terms??

 

john..

Not really. I'm self employed, and work for businesses most days. 

I'm no expert, but shouldn't those pipes be pretty much sealed, so that gases and smoke aren't released back into the room. If that liquid can get out, so can gases.

Glad I'm not the only voice of some common sense. Even sole traders are companies of sorts, obviously the distinction should have been a die off of ltd and other registered companies.

It's nothing to do with common sense. You are misunderstanding the word company. 

Just now, GarethM said:

You only have to be on companies House if your a ltd company.

If you aren't a company, you aren't a company. All companies will be listed, including LLP's etc. Only sole traders and non limited partnerships will be omitted.

To be on companies House though your not the vast majority of companies. When it's 1/2 guy companies they wouldn't be on the list.

 

Aspirational maybe, but I wouldn't judge any industry by it. As you can go up the tiers of success and down without going busy.

All companies, regardless of size, would be on the list. 

Are they your 'money' search terms? Fancy posting your neg list too?

To someone that makes a living knee deep in shit being able to wire a plug puts you in the top end of electrical qualifications. 😁

I use you as a benchmark for how much of a knob I'm being on here. Whenever I find myself liking one of your posts (more often than I like to admit), or I get a notification that you've liked one of mine I think "oh God, what have I said? I bet I've written something that is going to upset someone".

im only jealous as you still have more friends than me . 😪

Thank you for taking my post in the spirit it was written. For a forum of hairy arse arbs and foresters there are a lot of delicate flowers, ready to take offence at a moment's notice.

The likes of Mick Lynce aside.

Top end electrical engineer who now shouts for working people. To save argument we’ll have it your way.
 

 

Are electrical engineering qualifications relevant in such a situation? I don't see the relevance personally.

Maybe those that are both are the ones in charge. Like a hierarchy of stupid 🙂

Whilst my comment was very much tongue in cheek, there is a certain amount of truth in your statement. It's very well known that people within organisations are promoted to the point at which they are incompetent, and the same can be said for any organised group really. It's rarely the most competent people shouting the loudest, in any situation.

and the others in the mirror . 😁

Oh come on, if you want to have a dig at me at least check your English. The ambiguity caused by your inability to articulate your point is just embarrassing. 

Have another go.

Obviously the 2 aren’t mutually exclusive RC….

Quite right. I'm sure many are qualified on both counts.

Seems that even the modern day 'radical' is as soft as shite.

 

Presumably "refreshments" would need to be along the lines of soya milk and tofu bites.

The problem is, there are two types of protestor. Some are soft as shite, and the ones who aren't, are thick as shite.

At close of office hours, the carmaker switched off lights and heating and locked the doors.

Well it made me chuckle anyway. 

That is worth a chuckle. The word protestor is simply a synonym for Bell-end.

The entire world economic system is ****************ed. Too may people, not enough resources and labour, and people have gotten used to living it large. This was fine as long as three quarters of the human race was living in medieval squalor. But now the rest of the world wants a middle class lifestyle, and they're not taking "no" for an answer.

 

There's just not enough pie to keep everyone in the custom to which we are accustomed.

 

That's problem number 1

 

Problem number 2 is people are more retarded now then they used to be. Intellectually, and morally. And it's getting worse.

 

Our populations are aging, spoilt, entitled, stupid, addicted and without self esteem or drive. We have allowed our governments to legislate us into a corner, where we have no power, no real freedom and no room to grow.

 

Government is a symptom of the quality of the general population. They are us.

 

Add the explosion of communications technology in the last twenty years - which we were NOT ready for, psychologically. Psychopathic power players in the economic sphere, giving marching orders to morally bankrupt retards in government. It's all completely ****************ed and there's no way back. No way back because we sold the farm, figuratively speaking.

 

Get ready for poverty like we have never known in our lifetimes. 

 

 

 

 

You are like a little ray of sunshine aren't you. I wouldn't argue against most of what you've written, but it always strikes me as a little 'glass half empty' when we hear about all this poverty that's going to rain down on us all. Whilst some will struggle, there has never been a better time to take responsibility for your own financial situation and thrive regardless of whatever economic situation we are being told to fear. 

Good ol' silver birch I'd say.

I'm not sure if he doesn't see the sarcasm or delusional taking it as a compliment.

 

Either way we can safely say people here aren't really your demographic.

Here's sticking around here as most other forum admins would have deleted his posts before we even saw them. As I said, he seems like a nice enough lad, he's just doing (literally) everything wrong if he wants to make money on YouTube. Spamming and link dropping crap content is not the way to go about it.

I did, there’s a different between opinion and fact.

I mean your use of a phone box as an example of a difficult place to find an argument. You know, phone boxes, the things you used to go into to speak to someone on the phone. A really easy place to have an argument with someone.

I don’t see you trying to make it on YouTube ?? 

How could you possibly know whether or not i am 'making it on YouTube'? Actually, I'm not, but I do advise clients how best to use the platform to make money.

Will do, appreciate the advice!

I'd fallen out with the yard owner over all of this so I now effectively have the recovered chipper at home which makes me nervous

You have a duty if care to the insurance company to take reasonable steps to look after it. Beyond that, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. 

I'd go Lenovo too. I've been using Thinkpads for years, and never had a problem.

Fine if they did, just wanted someone to communicate something as it's been silent

Usually with insurance companies, they don't do much until you chase them. Make a nuisance of yourself if you want any progress.
