51/32lmin - winch is used on low flow only. New £3700 ish, my one for you my friend special price £2700 ish.

Easily done… I’ve got one on my Vermeer it’s very useful. You can get a avant headstock made up easily enough and with the extra weight it would be decent I’d wager. The winch is 3.5t and doubled up on a block it’s a powerful tool! I primarily used it for one job winching off felled timber on an incline. I’d probably sell on… feel free to dm.

Not exacting indeed especially in what seems to be an ever growing illogical world.

Of course I agree critical thinking is valuable, the idea that it can become “second nature” through repeated use oversimplifies the process imo. Critical thinking often requires conscious effort—we can’t always be on guard, nor can we fact-check everything we encounter. In fact, over-reliance on skepticism can lead to “paralysis by analysis,” where people distrust information to the point where it only leads them to reinforce their own view. This is how modern politics/media is triumphing over the layman….just sheer amounts of information which cannot possibly be fact checked at the time of delivery (depending on your appetite) leading people to run with their biases. We then fall fowl of a new age problem - people can no longer admit they’re wrong!

Apologies - think more philosophically rather than anatomically. How can you choose to critique what you don’t believe/know?

Optional to uk residents and imposed on newly registered migrant workers/asylum seekers - grasp on reality remains intact, as this will not be the case there is greater things at play…. “Your nose is always present, but invisible to you most of the time because your mind has chosen to filter it out. In the same way, there are truths, patterns, or even parts of yourself that are always there, yet unnoticed because you’ve grown accustomed to them”

I’m trying to understand how it will do anything different than the NI number and anti fraud checks already in place. At best it’s a red herring to make it look like something’s being done, at worst it’s another way of mandating something which will later be exploited (legislation/law already in place will make it easier to impose future control/restrictions. Eager to learn - am I missing something?

IMO you’re not wrong to think that. I am based in southwest and pay my climbers (sub contractors admittedly) between £250-£350 a day, the latter if it’s crane work or requires full/specialist rigging and I expect them to be able to carry out all tasks to a safe and high standard! So somebody in your position I would happily pay more than you’re currently on. I wouldn’t expect you to know the turnover as you’re an employee but it seems you have paid your dues with the company and a convo is needed! Good luck

Taking everything you say at face value - I would pay you £180 a day (after tax/PAYE). There are a lot of variables at play though - is most of your work domestic? How saturated is your area? Just bear in mind that not all businesses /owners are making loads of money which will be reflected in what they can pay their staff (not your problem I know but is if you’re geographically locked). You sound like you work well as part of the company and maybe all you need to do is have a chat with the boss!

Ice skating - been playing ice hockey for the last few years in Bristol. Grew up skating at Ally pally in jeans, one slip and you’d be soaking wet and freezing, taught you to get good pretty quick!

Don’t worry the BBC with their unbiased coverage have got it covered 👍

What’s the point of these posts may I ask? If we can break down your last two posts - some men peeing on a wall by your logic means they’re not patriotic? Could it not be like everything in this country that the council/organisers didn’t properly organise ahead of the protest? And your second post - reportedly between 150-200 thousand people turned out and 25 arrests were made that’s 0.017% hardly a lawless far right rally was it. I don’t have a dog in any fight in particular but lazy, unintelligent reposting of news stories to fit somebody’s narrative has just become accepted and the new norm. Do the posts give you sense of wellbeing (you might even get a like further entrenching your opinion) or have I got it completely wrong and you just enjoy cut and pasting in your free time?

It is a good article however slightly undermines its point by introducing Charlie Kirk as a “figurehead of the far right”. Further echoes impartiality by only referencing far right actions (especially given the current climate) but its key three points I feel are bang on the money!
