  1. Indeed, but that’s what happens when the alien enters the nest
  2. Ok, make a conscious decision to stop breathing…..see how long you last ! Lol
  3. No, the crow raises it after the cuckoo has pushed all the new generation of crows out of the nest to die.

    Anywhere !……that’s not a flippant comment by the way, take somewhere like Lithuania, flat tax rate of 15% no matter what you earn, low corporation tax and a reduced corporation tax of 5% for small business……you can get anywhere in Europe from anywhere else in Europe. I worked on jobs in Paris and the partitioning lads were commuting from Holland for a week at a time, same in Frankfurt, project manager was driving across because he lived in The Hague. Hungary ??…..Hungarian families come out of the tax system altogether on the birth of their 3rd or 4th child ? A country believing

    I’d hate to think what it costs you every year just to tick boxes, comply with legislation, make sure all the paper work is order, double check product specs so that you ain’t on the end of a Grenfell witch-hunt at some point in the future, show waste streams and chains of custody and blah blah blah……I know that’s a fortune, and for what ? And to who ? Some pointy nosed government official sitting on his arse for 40 year for a gold watch and a gold plated pension ? That’s before you take £1 for yourself and then some other c**t is having that off you !! It’s just not right mate, I’ve

    I’d say there will be a fair few finally deciding enough is enough mate, not just “rich” people (whatever they are now days ??) but from all income ranges…..they are suffocating people with layers of crap. I read the other day that a firm that helps “wealthy people” (is a million in cash and assets wealthy now days ??!) move abroad has seen about 130% rise in enquiry’s…..don’t know how factual the story is but it would not surprise me.
  8. Categorise and classify !……..what happened to the time when people could be a range of things to various degrees ? Maybe it’s not, but I think all this wanting to put someone in a category by assigning them a label about how they think is a fairly modern thing.
  9. No, it will just be eaten ! Lol
  10. And post of the year gos to: McHull !! Amazing ! Lol

    So my old area which was urban has effectively banned wood stoves by creating “clean air” areas (whatever that means as they happily cut down all the trees to build housing estates !!) so that you can’t have smoke coming out your chimney !! I believe here in Ireland you can no longer install solid fuel systems or flue’s for them in new builds….so again, effectively banning. I have no doubt they will change any regulation including building regs in order to force people to pay the big energy company’s (drinks all round chaps !!) So I’d say, yes there is a large chunk of t
  12. What with you pict/Scandinavian mongrels & us Celt/Franco/Saxon mongrels and those odd ones in the middle who are a mixture of all of that combined…..we are are a right old mob ! Lol
  13. I watched some racist crows a couple of months back attacking an innocent buzzard because they didn’t want it to visit their nest
  14. Don’t we live in an amazing time when you actually have to make a film to try and show obvious lunatics are in fact lunatics ?………
  15. Real Madrid v Stuttgart was a cracker, score didn’t reflect how good stuttgart were, they just could not take their chances…….Courtois saved Madrids arse in the first half. Then what about Bayern, absolute demolition job on Dynamo Zagreb….9 goals like, amazing.
  16. I was going to sheet over the roof joists with OSB and then sheet over the top of that with steel. What do you reckon lads ?
  17. To get the head room I’m going to vault the ceiling and clad it in T&G but I’ll strip vent the eves and make sure there’s air flow over everything.
  18. Cheers mate, I’ll google it. Top man
  19. That’s a great job that stuff, after my time when I was in the building job (I think my last job was the pyramids ! Lol ) but I’ve seen it and it’s a smart system. I think on this we are going for the “Shepherds hut” type look and feel.
  20. That’s a tidy job that stuff mate, I get a feeling it will all be natural timber and then painted.
  21. Going to put the solid boards (cellotex ?) in the floors but use the bats on rolls for walls and ceiling mate, saves her about €700 that way ? Still leave 25mm gap in the walls do you advise ?
  22. She is thinking about solar, but will have a mains hook up in any case mate

    59, no age that mate
  24. I’ll check price and availability mate, remember I live in Leprechaun land and they would just look at me like I was talking Chinese if I said that lot to them……and it’s probably about €4 million a sheet difference compared to the UK ! Lol
