    Yep thats the STOP tour, we have to do them several times a week! As we were a service company it was a quick way to get hated by the rig crew so I would make all of mine up. We had a really annoying HSE guy in Aberdeen, he was always banging on about holding hand rails and reverse parking (which is safer in case of a fire LOL) one day some one spotted him carrying his bike up a flight of stairs without holding the hand rail so they put a STOP card in about him... Oh f**k me you've reminded me of another, reverse parking! God forbid you just swing ya car into the pissy tiny spac

    The site I work on won't allow you to walk while talking on your mobile phone. Bare in mind there are also footpaths marked out with yellow paint and the site is almost entirely offices! Oh and you get a bollocking for crossing the yellow lines too. You also have to hold banisters while using the office stairs..... And these aren't advisory either folks, people actually enforce them! What sort of jobsworth c**t thinks they have a social duty to do that sort of shit? Oh and we also have a monthly 'walk around' where selected staff members have to walk around looking for potential ha

    but we should be changing to a wind turbine a solar panel and a teslar battery, but we won't because no one will tell you how or give you a hand getting off the ground because they are making to much money selling out of date technology to you and lining there pockets, and reading a set of guidelines drawn up by the very people robbing me does not make me feel anymore reassured, share holders equal price rises I'm sorry mate, but being a share holder doesn't give you some power to sit on some ever increasing income curve. The dominant forces driving prices are supply and demand in the ma

    Anybody had a read of the Competition and Markets Authority report on competition in the energy market? They couldn't find conclusively that profits were unreasonable though suspect a degree of this. So scandal right? Well not necessarily so as it was conclusively found that very few people have historically forced providers to be more competitive by actually leaving! The consumer has historically been very lazy and just stuck with their providers giving them effectively unrestrained control of the market. It's only in recent years that this trend has started to change and smaller companie

    I get your thinking but why does it have to have a left wing solution? If energy companies are all having secret meetings to inflate the value of their products then it leaves the market wide open for competitors to enter and the government should do anything they can to stimulate that and prosecute the cartel. If they can't then why would they do any better job of running it themselves? Better yet, if this accusation has any legitimacy buy shares in any or all of the Big Six! They have to go up in value because they control the market right? yet a quick search for the 5 year share pri

    even though I want out and voted out I can`t agree with you there, if the people who voted them in voted out then THAT is how they should vote, not the way the party wants them to or their own personal choice but that is what the last vote was for, now they should put all party bullshit behind them and vote for whats good for the country for a change, , time the twats started to realise that the voting public is getting tired of their lies and b/s at election times I understand your point but I'd have to disagree for the following reason. In normal parliamentary practice an MP should r

    Salting just dehydrates it, as soon as moisture touches them they'll absorb it and rot. Wet hands, spilt drink, damp room is enough to cause it and one day you'll smell a good awful rotting maggoty stench from what was once a bone dry salty skin! You need to treat them. Simplest way for most folks is brain tanning. It'll go like chamois leather after that and not absorb moisture.

    Most people don't read beyond the headlines So we're left with too stupid, and too lazy... The future's bright, but the future's orange! “The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

    They're a throw back to when mankind lived by his whits and courage. It was these crazy b*****ds that would run from the cave to lure away the saber-toothed cat trying to eat their family! Like the folk that find hunting exhilarating, there are folk that find risking their lives exhilarating. I reckon they're f***ing mad but I think I understand them and kinda respect them.

    A commonly misunderstood piece of legislation! There's nothing demonstrably illegal about that photo, public or private road. Nice one, well done to daughter and father.

    Flatcaps, tweed and waxed, various baseball caps, beanies, wooly hats, aussie style bush hat. Quite fancy a kiwi stockman. Hardly wear any of them really. Get hot too quickly.

    This cycle seemed to last a bit longer than previous cycles as you say. I remember having a chat about rabbits and saying that it's been a long while since the rabbits suffered myxi, then weeks later they were flattened by it! I was starting to wonder if they had developed a stronger resistance to it. They certainly have, over the last 5 or so years I've seen a fair few rabbits that look to have had myxi but are recovering, and it hasn't seemed to have an effect on numbers. This past season though a real noticeable shortage in rabbits but no myxi visible, seems to be VHD is being blamed for t

    The difference suggested is that with typical spring type traps the trapper is more aware of non target kills and can pull the traps or modify the set if it becomes an issue. These kiwi traps (presumably made by the DoC?) don't have that inherent means of assessing every kill by their nature. With Fenns, if you kill 10 hotchys ya know about it whereas with these automatic traps you could kill a 100 and possibly never know. Well that's how I understood it.... That's what I took the post to mean. It also raises the question about visiting traps every day. I surmise that the same req

    I think any ideology has a bit of room for movement before a person is better fit to another. I'd agree that a traditional conservative view is to generally oppose minorities but there's a lot more to conservatism than that, modern or traditional. Not many people personify every aspect of an ideology and that's even if you can get everyone to agree on what that would be. I agree that mainstream conservatism has changed, it's become socially more liberal. I just hardly think that liking to f**k men torpedoes any possibility of being a conservative. Most folks have leanings towards other ide

    You realise that the Conservative ideology is a bit more encompassing than simply not wanting to f**k other men.

    They've been smashed by disease mate all over the country. Everyone has witnessed exactly the same events as you, seemed to be lifting with rabbits in summer and then nothing by xmas. That's just life. There'll be a few to go at again in October. With a bit of good fortune the lack of rabbits will starve half the f***ing buzzards.

    There's a little principle we hold dear in the West called 'due process'. I'm all for gloves off warfare against barbarians but I'm not quite on board with the yanks definition of 'the enemy' so I'll remain a little dubious of all this.
