Sadly for many they'd have to be face down at the roadside with an H&K pointed at them. The way the lockdown was handled should have made more libertarians and anarchists than anything else but the masses seem to like being lead. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No government in my life time have had our best interest at heart, you say constantly the only way to change things is at the ballot box...I agree in principle, but know it'll never happen...so you have to change things for yourself... You have, you put you and your family first and done what you think is right for them...that is action imo.... I think too many shout off a lot from behind a computer about governments and the establishment but don't do jack shit to change their own life an ounce... let alone a revolution to change the world ffs 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe (maybe naively) that the government was once broadly on your side or at least the side of the nation…..as Paul Weller says “before we all became American” lol Now it’s all “dog f**k dog” and it’s ugly mate……maybe living in the back arse of nowhere has addled my brain and made me go all soft !

I think it’s understandable mate, it’s the comfort of the “known”……the “return to normal” (normal !!…..f**k sake ! Lol ) as has been the catchphrase for the last 18 months ! I’m looking at things now and thinking the comfort of the known is going to get thrown out the window and nobody can control it…….a sickness will always right itself and what we have in the world is a sickness.

Lol I may have come across wrong, if I did I apologise. I enjoy the conversations on here, in the main I think we all have very similar views on the world/life we would like... the majority of us hunt/fish/forage etc and that probably (not always lol) means we are in the main happier with the simple things in life ... but we all know greed and gain rules the world, and we are all in some way guilty... regardless of what high horse we'd like to sit ourselves on... My point, and its aimed at no one, is we all fall into the trap of pointing at the government, or the rich man, the big pharmaceuticals.... basically things so far out of our control that talking is all we can do.... but many who talk do Jack shit to even change their life for the better... or change their habits to better the very things that annoy them so much....its an echo chamber... I look at lads that I dont really know like you and see you have made big changes, complete life changes to improve yours and your kids futures..Greyman living his life long dream but having to completely change his normal routine/life to do it.... f***ing great in my book... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You make what I did sound way too noble mate, it was no culmination of a noble quest, it was a decision made on the spare of the moment on a train back from Paris……I kid you not. It was a moment in time when I sat there and thought “Do you know what, I’ve had enough” ! I just didn’t like what I was looking at or where I thought it was heading any more. People think I’m joking when I tell them that but it was no grand plan, it just came into my head (as seems to be my life story ! Lol) and I looked across at the wife and said “Do you know what, I want to f**k off….what do you reckon” and her being her and always backing my mad ideas said “sure, why not….where do you fancy” Simple as that ! Lol That was August and I was packing my house into and artic on the last day of the following February ! I have always been like that, if I don’t like something or it don’t feel right I just do something else so to me I think it’s the simplest thing in the world…..I understand not everyone is or can be like that. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats the best way.... I love stuff like that . We are very similar, we don't mull over decisions too long, my wife is luckily or unluckily as impulsive as me so we tend to just say f**k it and do it... From going through the free ads looking for a double bed not long after getting together and seeing a litter of spaniels... looked at her and said I wouldn't mind a spaniel...so no bed but brought a spaniels home that night... To walking down the garden of this place, knowing full well we couldn't afford it.... but as usual I said "what do you think" her response "I can see us here".... I told the old woman that day to take it off the market and spent over 8 months making it happen.... I think impulse is great...also dangerous if you are both the same....there is no one to pull me back and same for her... sounds like you've got a similar marriage mate... makes for the odd sleepless night but a few memories...lol 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And you hit the nail right on the head there mate... The wife and I found old bill outside his bungalow 2 doors up today..a 2ft circle of congealed blood and a hole in the back of his head.he was there for about an hour.and no doubt out cold for a good spell..looked like he tripped and fell back. Blue fingers and lips and his oxygen bottle for copd out of reach on the floor.. Such things have a strange effect on you mate...draining the life out of you..as in blood for old bill...that sentence sums it up.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
