  1. I agree and I'd like to be in a similar place when the time comes, having independent, self reliant, inquisitive kids is definitely the goal. Thankfully I'm not currently trying to deal with them flying the nest lol.
  2. I did say it in jest , but it's also a bit of a throwaway comment , failed as a parent if kids aren't moved out in twenties, I guess you could say this if the state provided affordable housing and didn't control the UK market through building the last few governments have made it a manifesto pledge and all have failed on it. Rent is at an all time high in value and demand, it's next to impossible to save for a mortgage whilst paying rent. You hear more stories of people moving back into parents along with their own young families to allow opportunity to save a deposit just for the opportunity
  3. Get off your high horse sir...lol

    Great game from England, smiths kicking fell apart but they changed the kicker quick enough, atoji kept his head down , bit intense at times and plenty of handling errors from both but England kept fighting and stayed disciplined, what a finish.
  5. USAID going to have a staff of 290 from 10,000 Spent 15 million dollars on condoms for Taliban lol wtf and there's loads of mad ones
  6. Well I had a phone call delaying the next start so now I got to get busy trying and get a start next week for a short term next mber preferably where I've just paid down a grand on digs lol. Always fun and games..
  7. Many agencies use umbrella companies, people have come unstuck 10 years after the fact find out the umbrella never paid their tax. They do seem to have died off a bit now , I just go cis with deductions made at source , two companies pay me gross but I'd rather deducted.
  8. I've always taken what I've had to , I'd probably try and get closer to home if possible . My thing was always build a portfolio of companies and contacts, do a decent/reliable job and then know your worth. I'd move for a couple of quid on the hour and if I didn't want a job I'd say the rate was too low , to maybe help someone else negotiate , certainly smaller companies can appreciate the value of someone who's productive. I worked with guys that don't do a day's work in a week there's plenty in the game some, that bounce around the country , or go under the radar on big jobs Occasionally the
  9. They certainly over play pasta , olive oil and pizza . I'm all for salad but it ain't really cooking. I'm off to an Italian tomorrow as is my youngest lads wish his brother had more sense and chose a steakhouse. Personally I could of got them a great present for what this restaurant malarkey is costing and it won't be a reoccurrence that's for sure, but I'll suck up £20 for cheese on toast for a minute. Also they harp on about there tomatoes , which came about from central America in 1500s and pasta probably Chinese.
  10. Well , guesstimation , he's always getting his bits out on that show with the jock and the Frenchman. He apparently said to a co worker in front of crew I'm gonna turn you over and feck you in the bum , previously done for burglary, and he's Italian. At best he's daft at worse he's probably shagging everything. Tbh if it ain't kids I couldn't care less. And if aligations are anonymous to protect their own careers then they can't be seriously looking to protect anyone else.
  11. Me and the boy making a dent in a monster haggis made by my local butcher.
  12. Do you use the big boars for dog food? Are you getting any of the smaller ones on a firepit or smoker?
  13. Lioness is decent same writer producer as Yellowstone, landman etc. Taylor Sheridan. He had a bit part as the copper in sons of anarchy, when he asked for a pay rise they said he deserves one but there ten people waiting to step in. He left acting started writing and producing , worth 100s of millions of dollars, owns xxxx ranch and rents out horses to film and TV. Done well for himself and promotes traditional American ways of life etc.
  14. I did on this and I do for this employer, it's viewed as treachery within oil and gas industries, food and process they expect you to do both , I'm determined not to go back to process for as long as possible. Which I get , it's definitely two separate trades and I can't do what the top fitters are capable of but I can do what 95% of fitters can. I like doing a bit as I don't enjoy the welding as much these especially with the eyes not what they were. It engages the mind a bit and gets me walking about a bit more as standing at a bench all day is crap. This company is mostly orbital so may get
  15. Had a couple of swims this week as home, in the river on Wednesday afternoon and got in the sea this morning at Exmouth both were bloody cold, I've invested in neoprene gloves socks and shorts which is a game changer tbh and avoids nerve damage....pics from previous weeks sunrise
  16. 51% I reckon , I'm sure there's a large number in Britain that would happily see it destroyed , carved up and handed over to the EU.
  17. Tbh netflix is pretty dire along with the rest, at least there's choice on prime , but I mostly watch YouTube . It'll be interesting what comes of the (non woke) for want of a better term normal maybe lol Platforms, and production companies , I'm sure there'd be a market for a platform with old school movies, fishing hunting , child friendly. One of my gripes with a lot of modern stuff is all there is for kids is cartoons, anything remotely action adventure is filled with profanities or woke stuff. I end up buying films off Amazon like the vikings robin hood etc.
  18. Well job finished Wednesday, hopefully go again Monday on a new site...
  19. I'm home currently, did a stew for the next few days, got a steak in the fridge for tomorrow. Kids have got coughs and colds so a bit of nourishment coming their way. Got some lidls large battered haddocks and frozen triple cooked chips for supper tomorrow and English lamb and veg for Sunday.
  20. 15 days in... 10k Mexico troops on border Canada appoints fentanyl Czar and border troops Ice rounding up thousands of illegal criminals Panama pulling away from china on canal Denmark open to US expansion in Greenland Musks doge uncovering vast sums of taxpayer money waste and corruption Women's rights protected and trans banned from female sports Venezuela and Colombia agree to take back their illegals El Salvador agrees violent US criminals and deportees of any nationality.
