I was at a do in Blackpool a couple weeks ago. First time I’ve ever been. It’s surpassed only by hull in topping the shithole chart! To top it off I caught some flu type shit that I still haven’t managed to shift. Gaza… Blackpool… hull… difficult one tbh mate.

Is it time to call on the Government to let us arm ourselves?
Born Hunter replied to Lenmcharristar's topic in General Talk
At times of national emergency there’s more chance of them taking guns off us that there is them letting us have more. There’s zero appetite for an armed civilian populace in the UK. -
As trump showed, the only way to bring about change is from within the two party system. But I can’t see farage being allowed in.

Not enough people. The industry seems slow to embrace technology too. Particularly as it uncovers inefficiency which causes headaches for management.

I had this set in the garden and had these two on the bounce. The terrier literally flushing them into the trap. In this circumstance they obviously enter at speed so not totally representative of normal. However it was a rare opportunity to actually witness how humane the trap is. In both instances the squirrel was limp in probably 10-20s. Ive had foul catches too where the trigger wires allowed the squirrel to slip down the side with only its hips firing the trap leading to a a less than human catch. A bit of experience and thought though makes these very quick killers. Im sure non

Terrorist Escapes From Wandsworth Prison.

I may have too but it is a coincidence. Quite likely a bit jumpy with this fella about. Even though I doubt they seriously expect him to do anything other than run. -
Terrorist Escapes From Wandsworth Prison.

I drove by RAF Croughton earlier, I think, the five eyes base. There were four police cars surrounding a civilian vehicle in one of the entrances. If I were to put two and two together… -
I suppose I wouldn’t say it was common knowledge, but known amongst a few I think. But very few knew exactly where it was, just that it was in the woods somewhere. These woods have gone very much unmanaged for decades and this tank needed a machine to shift it. I suppose those factors meant that those that knew didn’t have the means or motivation. I think the plan is to get some of it to the elevenses cabin. Which will be mega for first day this season!

There’s shite is Ukraine with more miles on the clock. Give us five minutes!

Just to be clear, these pics are what has been dug out of a boggy hole. All that was visible prior to being dug out was a single ‘wheel’. We haven’t been able to find any parts of the tracks or the gun. I assume they were removed prior to abandonment.
-
Not really much more we know about it tbh mate. We’ve been working in these woods heavily all year, thinning, laying and clear felling to improve it ecologically and for shooting. My mate who’s coordinating this operation has lived round here all his life and used to knock about with the old keeper as a kid. He knew about this tank and when this wood fell into the ownership of the shoot and he had free reign to improve the wood the hunt for the legendary tank was on. After I saw the excavated wreckage and had ten mins on google I identified it as a ww2 Covenanter. A fatally flawed design by al

Yep, it was found upside down with the ‘wheels’ sticking out. Can’t figure out where the rest of it is. Local legend has it being in these woods since the 50s, so probably since the war. We want to clean the gun mounting up for display. It’s amazing really, I was scooping the clay out of it to get a better understanding of it and the metal work inside feels like it was machined yesterday! Sharp and clean still, after 70 years in the mud.
-
Found this, well, it wasn’t really lost as it’s sort of local knowledge, but we excavated it… and when I see we I mean my mate. A World War Two battle tank. I believe a Covenanter. Anyway, thought some on here might think it’s as cool as I do…

He was last seen enter the M25…

I hear you can even set alarms to remind you too. Amazing!

It’s a bit like using dyslexia as an excuse for spelling mistakes. There is technology available these days to help people that suffer with these conditions have a more equal opportunity. Within reason it’s not much of an excuse. The truth is if she was either exceptionally skilled or hard working an employer would likely look past her ‘disability’. Covid changed the world for the better in this respect imo.
-
She is delusional however a work culture that values productivity over hours worked is sensible. But they’re not independent, core hours/days are essential in order for an organisation to maximise productivity. Productivity should always be the target metric though.

@mackem Stockholm for one night working. Not really get five minutes but it beats the office every now and then.
-
Yes Only 3 hr delay but I’ve been here since f***ing 4:20.

If you say so.

They’re digital twins. They’re not real, just virtual representations of what was happening. Think about it, to have a images of the craft landing would require the a second craft armed with a camera to have already landed. Sort of pointless! But in line with the modern world ‘take a selfie of everything’ mentality.

Who’s the mugs? I mean, aid is just leverage, intended to benefit us and our interests, as defined by the political class. But still, the Indians would put metal on the moon with or without it. f**k them personally, the Raj really put a chip on their shoulder regarding the UK.

That came across very shity when it wasn’t meant to be. I mean your view is the moral one. You’ve earnt it through a lifetime of broadening your views and experiences. I just mean to say that really, when it comes to it, no one really gives a toss for these people. It’s just a convenient stick to beat the Indian government with.
