Well nothing like starting your conversations on a pigeon shooting forum with a question about a cable for a camera. My spam button is on standby.

All clear at the other end of the country, we don't get much snow that sticks down in Pembrokeshire.

Sick a dollop of branston pickle on that and i will take it.

Some posts removed, come on Gents this is the food section, i would expect it in other sections, but the food section!

@Conor O'Gorman please place your posts in the relevant sections rather than just the General shooting section.I have moved this one for you.

When using portable welders in the Army we had a "pie" box in the generator which was where you kept your rods and the occasional NAAFI pie, this box was kept warm so your rods didn't absorb any moisture while welding, you can place them on a radiator for a while to get the same effect, as ditcy has said , run on and off plates always a good idea. And i would get a little book, write down all the information for each weld that works, metal size ,rods used, setting on machine, always handy.

DO8 doesn't show as banned, he has made 10 posts on various topics.

Jackson pollock is my inspiration.

After a day like today needed a bit of comfort food. Bacon, egg and chips, and a touch of tomato sauce.

Done with all the running totals, they totally slipped my mind this year.

Please add your kills to the running total.

If it is a bad as you say why do you and your wife still work there? People are not leaving in droves, otherwise the nhs would stop in a few weeks, What does happen is people in the system know how to play the system, a friend who is a nurse retired because insted of working 5-6 days a week she went on bank work and now works 3 days a week doing the same job but for much better pay, but as long as the nhs is happy to pay for these agency nurses then people will leave and work for agencies. Another person i know a plaster tech takes at least 3 months sick a year, she gets full pay for months then half pay for more months and then no pay, starangely she never makes it to no pay before coming back to work. There are many vacancies because it's the biggest employer in europe. Welcome to 2024, Today's headlines "THE NHS IS IN CRISIS", oh hang on wasn't that last year and the year before and the year before and the year before............ you get the picture. Until the model is changed then it will always be in crisis, but no political party has the balls to implement the changes needed, so it will be propped up always on the brink of a crisis.

I read an interesting article on doctors moving abroad, the overall concensus was although they were paid more, they were also taxed higher and the cost of living was generally higher, in particular a doctor who moved to australia who admitted she still worked long hours had better pay, but offset against the cost of housing and the cost of living and tax she was no better off if not as slightly worse off, although she was happy about the weather, she said she felt she was fed a dream to entice her there and it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. To give pay rises means the public purse has to be squeezed, and at a time when most in the private sector are having to accept small pay rises it is not acceptable that doctors should get the 30+% they want, they have been offered a rise in line with others, when you factor in that the public purse will give them a very generous pension pot and they will also go on to do a lot of private work and earn very good money then they are doing better than most. Your argument about CEOs is misleading, their rises and payouts are funded through profits the company makes not the public purse. The irony is by these strikes the doctors are damaging the NHS ,creating huge waiting lists, and people on those lists are deteriorating so there is a future health cost to be met because of their actions.

Marsh Man, my very deepest condolances.

This is not about pay, it's political, and shame on all those doctors who are happy to strike.

That's the end of this one .

And here it comes, strange on all the sites that i talk about brexit, the remainer usually resorts to the average IQ slur, and while i wasn't one for university i have a pretty good IQ and ran my own company for 15 years earning very good money, my son on the other hand has two degrees, he is not in the remain camp, my other son works on complex systems in the military that would blow your mind, he isn't on your team, my wife ran her own company and then went on to run another, she's not your fan. If all you can say is "Typical IQ of the average brexit voter" then you have well and truly lost the argument. Respond how you want, i won't be answering you.

Lol good luck getting labour or the tories to commit political suicide by going back in, they know which side their bread is buttered on. Oh and in the last 2 years i have had 3 good pay rises, and the company i work for has grown nicely and will continue to grow, brexit has not affected my work.

Tell me who will stage that referendum you want? labour and the tories won't go there, they both know the reality is that it might go wrong for them again, and they both know it's a vote loser. But it is strange that even after all these yrears you cannot accept the vote that was democratically taken and which the majority of those that voted said they wanted to leave. There will be no return, but you carry on crying those remainer tears, it brings a smile.
