  1. I would think if it were advantageous, the manufacturers would have cottoned on long ago?
  2. The UK were trying to negotiate from a position of weakness, prior to the last general election, we are on a more even (advantageous?) playing field now.......the UK negotiators don’t need to bend to the will of Barnier an co!
  3. Gold and Maxus.......off the top of me ead!
  4. The government provide nothing! it is the taxpayers who provide the money, for the government to spend on what they choose to/or not!
  5. It’s all about keeping our bottle now! The UK should do what is best for the future of the UK......The EU is the EU’s problem.........we’ve left!
  6. Heard a good comment on the news this morning......whilst the Tory Westminster government are getting a kicking off the press for the care home catastrophe in England....no one is slating the Welsh and Scottish administrations (who have devolved responsibility in this area!) where the same thing is happening there?
  7. Yes I agree! In this unprecedented emergency, decisions have to be made, I don’t think the government ‘deliberately get thing wrong’ bad choices are as likely in dealing with the unknown, as good choices......the time to snipe from the sidelines is not now! Later I s the time for a post mortem to be held.
  8. They were probably buying crisps, doughnuts and fizzy pop!
  9. I hope you told him you want your money back?
  10. And they look very awkward and laboured when flying! Well at least when taking off and landing they do!
  11. The wins for me exceed any interest the banks give.....I won five lots of £25 last month! And I have nowhere near the limit of bonds allowed! Short lived celebrations though! The missus spent it on a new AGM battery for her car!
  12. Yep! Graham’s inverted card wad, fibre wad and cardboard shot cup for me !
  13. Fin perfect! Not ‘stockies’ then? Lol!
  14. Keter! If I was closer I would have it too! Lol!
  15. I don’t disagree! As you will observe, my comments were of a general nature, and yes, bought about by personal observation..........to receive an unwarranted personal attack from an individual, for expressing my opinion, probably says more about their character than mine!
  16. It seems my description touched a nerve with you! 😆 A reality in life is some people without conscience and self respect, will tread on anyone and do anything to “get up the greasy pole”.....if the cap fits? As they say! 😂
  17. That is an important question fandango!......Gualandi plastic 8 bore wads are designed for industrial use, not for sporting ammunition, as such they can vary considerably in diameter! The bore diameter of my 8 bore is .835 and constricted to full choke..........some of the Gualandi 8 bore wads I had measured .846 and over! Too bloody tight! And as such, risked bulging the barrels at the choke, If I were to use them! I got into the habit of measuring all my Gualandi 8 bore wads (at the gas seal section) rejecting all oversize ones!....I do not use them at all now!
  18. Why the handlebars? To stop it running away? 🥰
  19. Depends how close you are to the M5.......I would guess......about 35/45mins at silly o clock in the morning!
  20. Don’t think Drakeford or Sturgeon are doing their jobs at all, they are not leading.......they are just sitting tight and watching what happens in England.....so if England’s decision is successful they can follow suit......but if it goes **** up they can stand on the sidelines and say “too early we told you so” Typical socialist/Corbin type tactic!
  21. PPE......every country in the world was after it....with a finite amount of suitable kit available! Where were they supposed to get it from? Discharging people from hospital (including sending old people back to care homes) to free up space In preparation for an expected massive influx of pandemic victims, and building many Nightingale hospitals to house C19 patients and prevent the NHS getting overwhelmed!......what we’re the gov supposed to do? Leave people in hospital......Let the NHS get overwhelmed, and allow patients awaiting admission with C19 to die in corridors and car parks? Not all care home patients died because they were discharged from hospital possibly with C19! What about those people who delivered goods and services, staff and those that visited these homes.....the virus could have been bought in that way? What about the care homes inability (by no fault of their own!) to isolate sick inmates? Did they know how to Identify/treat suspected C19 cases? There was a shortage of tests available! Is it the governments responsibility to provide PPE to employees in private medical/care/nursing homes? Or is it the responsibility of the people who run them privately as a business, for profit? There are several angles to look at the data/facts from..........it just depends on ones beliefs, politics and how one interprets them, data can always be manipulated, in order to say what one wants it to say! Underpaid? When comparing a surgeon with a premier league footballer, yes! But when comparing a hospital domestic/cleaner with a surgeon, no! Its the pay for a particular job when compared with similar work (Work of equal value) that decided how much a job pays!..........You must compare an apple with an apple......not an apple with an onion! There is still massive waste, theft and misappropriation going on within the NHS............it may be that by squeezing NHS Funding, it will force those in charge to address this waste, theft and misappropriation? and make sure the money saved is directed to the right place....patient care and employees pay?
  22. I read the CPS are criticising police for overzealously and incorrectly issuing fines to people under C19 powers!
  23. ?............Nah! It’s just down the road! 😎
  24. Nah! A lot of the time people don’t ascend the “greasy pole” because they will not **** or creep around their bosses, will not sell out and shun patronage earned from “services rendered”........nothing to do with competence or laziness.......more to do with morals and self respect!

    Yep the politicians with ambitions to run the country in the future are hoping you all die before you can claim your pension..........Pay in all your life, die before you can draw it out!
