SAF isn't infallible. He endorsed Moyes as his successor. He saddled the club with Rooney's eye-watering contract that hobbled the club for years after SAF retired. He endorsed and still endorses Jones when most managers would have moved him to Sunderland or some other non-league team. SAF achieved miacles, but towards the end he lost his touch. What have Liverpool won? Well, look at it another way; there were three divisions in the Premiership - City, five other clubs, the rest. Look at the points table to see what I mean. Klopp has lifted 'Pool from the five other clubs to challenge Cit

No Kante? Maybe because some idiot is playing the best holding midfielder in the world out of position so he can accommodate his old mate ?

Don't forget that before last season, when Klopp bought Salah, the pundits were saying that he had no finish. 'Pool have bought well. Even the bit part players snapped up for small change from little teams like Southampton and Sunderland have contributed to the points tally. Arsenal and Utd both have showed the value in keeping a manager for a long time and also keeping that manger for too long. Getting the right balance is difficult, but crucial.

John Deere JX75 - the addiction goes on
Nicepix replied to Nicepix's topic in Home Stuff, Building and Leisure
Done it! After studying the parts diagram I realised that there must be another part to the arm that the drive lifts to tighten the belt on the pulley. After a bit of gynaecology my fingers located the second part, a hinged lever hanging below the arm. It was too dark to finish the job last night and we've been out at a friend's house for most of the day, but I've just managed to partially dismantle the transmission, wiggle the lever into place and re-assemble everything. As the transmission tilts back the lever gives the clutch arm a little push to engage the drive. The old girl is no -

It might take 3 or 4 seasons for ManU to recover from the calamitous last six or seven. Maybe longer if the likes of de Gea and Rashford force transfers away. OGS is on the right track when he says that the players he needs have to be of the ManU DNA. Too many of those bought by the last three managers were just quick-fix, sticking plaster attempts at shoring up weak positions. Mourinho bought Bailley and Lindelof for silly money and then wanted another £100m to replace them. That can't go on. Pogba is a world class player and inspirational leader if things are going his way. When they are not

John Deere JX75 - the addiction goes on
Nicepix replied to Nicepix's topic in Home Stuff, Building and Leisure
Thanks but there is nothing shown on the parts catalogue that fits in that hole. https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/67141/referrer/navigation/pgId/17418948 https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/67141/referrer/navigation/pgId/17572682 -
Last year one of my customers asked if I could give him a hand to put an old lawn mower into his car so he could take it to the recycling depot. It was an old John Deere JX75 made around 2000 and was in a bit of a state. I suggested that I could drop it off as it is a heavy machine and he's not that well. So I put it in my van and as the Dechetterie was closed when I went past I took it home to dispose of another time. Once I got it out of the van and into the basement I couldn't help but to have a pull on the old starting cord and the old Kawasaki engine fired up and ran lovely. The blades tu

I used to fish a tiny little river on our shoot in Sth .Yorkshire and also the River Derwent above the Derwent Valley dams using a 6foot telescopic whip from the Poundshop (don't ask how much it cost ? ) about 6 foot of 3lb mono and a small pheasant tail nymph under one of those floating strike indicators. It was just a case of flicking the fly upstream (I always fish upstream 'cos I is a gentleman) and allowing it to sink under the float as it drifted downstream. Got loads of brownies up to around 2lb. The whip closes down to about 13" so fits in a rucksack or up your sleeve and a couple of r

Man Utd will never get anywhere until they realise that they aren't the biggest thing in football and settle for a few years of top 6 positions while they re-build the team. The pressure of trying to live up to past glories and not admitting that the likes of City, Liverpool, Barcelona and now possibly Juventus and Ajax have surpassed them on the pitch and in the board room. The best thing Mourinho did was to get rid of Rooney. Then he brought Sanchez in and re-created the same problem. They need a clear out starting with Woodward and at least 6 to 8 players. Have the owners got the bottl

They were over the River Dordogne in SW France at the end if last month and on the 2nd or 3rd I heard a cuckoo. The martins are building now. The hoopoes were very early too and the nightingales started singing about three days ago. First mozzie bite of the year this evening while I was watering the garden. That's early too! ?

Bremner was regarded as a hard man. Until he met a real hard man.............. ? An old work mate of mine used to play as a full back for Sunderland (don't tell Max), the Blades and Spireites. He played right back against the Fulham side who had Best & Marsh in it. He said that the one player who defenders never wound up was Best as he would make a total monkey out of you. Even in his Fulham days when he was half-cock and half-pissed he was still capable of turning defenders inside out.

Surprise double in the Putangues
Nicepix replied to LuckOrJudgement's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
That's down to the slim profile of the weasel. In half-barrel traps I've had them try to go through to the far trigger and then get stuck setting the trap off and being caught a lot further back than that one. The Putange has closed on its rib cage which is instant death. -
Surprise double in the Putangues
Nicepix replied to LuckOrJudgement's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
I had the same this week; mole in one end a a weasel in the other. Last week there was a weasel in a different trap in the same garden. Instant death in the Putange - no messing. Not like the stoat I had in a half-barrel trap. It was caught by the neck and still alive. -
So, they can either play Llorente or Kane in a plaster cast. I think they'll go Kane ?

The other interesting point is that there is 90% tax deductible to donations for the rebuild so all these billionaires offering to donate €200 million are actually burdening the tax payer with 90% of that amount.

Some tool posted a photo of the ruined building and the golden cross standing unscathed in the middle of it. The caption was about some divine intervention saving the golden cross to which a scientist commented that the melting point of gold was about 600 degrees higher than the temperature that wood burns! ?

What if anything is eating the swimming pool?
Nicepix replied to Nicepix's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Thanks for those thoughts. The pool was in place when they bought the house over 12 years ago so the plastic liner may well be on its way out. I'll pass on the good news next time I see them. I bet it will cost a fortune to repair or replace. For what use the get out of the pool it doesn't half give them some headaches with algae bloom, blossom and other wind blown debris and also all sorts of casualties falling in. Plus it costs a fortune to run. I wouldn't have a pool given. Thanks again for the advice. -

Nicepix replied to Nicepix's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Right! If they can photograph a Black Hole I can photograph Ted's Hole ? The stick and twine is supporting a bit of bait dangled into the gap between the pool liner and the concrete base. As it is the deep end the bait is dangling about 6 feet down and nothing has touched it in two weeks. The other clusie is that the same thing has happened in exactly the same place. you can see the other hole under the sticking plaster. So; Whodunnit? -
You are correct in that Russian and Chinese leaders have killed millions of their own people. But what you said doesn't include what I said in my post " Nothing to do with Communism when the Nazis massacred millions of Russians and the Japs murdered millions of Chinese. " Those 30 million Communists were massacred by the German and the Japanese in an act of expansionism. You are talking about something else.
-
It was done in the name of expansionism, not failed communism as you posted above. Hitler also massacred Czechs, Poles, Dutch and Greeks. They weren't communists.

Also interesting is that, as you said earlier, people can be arrested for denying the Holocaust, but nobody is in any fear of that talking about other far worse atrocities. The Holocaust is pushed in everyone's faces at every opportunity and yet no one mentions that the Russian and Chinese casualties were far higher and far more atrocities were committed against them. Staffs Riffraff;- you really need to read some history. It was the very opposite of what you claim.
