That's @Nisus part of the world. (y)

.... for a campaign of inspections focusing on the hazards of dust in construction. Hopefully that will include the shaved apes dry cutting with petrol saws and blasting clouds of silica dust around the streets. Most of whom it appears are working for firms sub-contracting to councils and...

As you say, I doubt most in the construction industry would need to ask if a finish was acceptable or not. Well, with the possible exception of scaffolders and QS'.

There will be plenty of changes both big and small, but it doesn't mean everything will be worse. For example, I got into the habit of making lunch instead of buying it during the lockdown/s and I've just continued doing it. Which got me thinking, I can't remember when or why I stopped? It...

Nothing wrong with that approach, it works for pensions after all. Basically that way of thinking trades possible gains for security against ruin. As the years have gone by I've moved from chancing my arm a bit, to somewhere near the centre and gradually moved to being insulated as much as...

Finance/mortgages aren't necessarily a bad thing as long as (like most things, work, food, alcohol, drugs, s*x, adrenaline) you don't get greedy and push it too far, I think the term is 'over exposed'. (Financially not in an @Olican way.) Look at what the best outcome is, look at what the worst...

It shouldn't come as a surprise as they were always going to go up. The same applies to the cost of goods and services which have been way too cheap for a long while. I think what's likely to bite people on the 4rse is the speed of the change as it's all coming in a hit.

That's the sort of thing which makes the current situation different to previous fcuk ups, everything is affected. If you need cheap transport motorbikes, cars, vans, all shot up, there isn't really a cheap meal option now etc. etc. I bought some exterior gloss this morning for the new doors at...

Yeah, when it gets like this it's not one trade or industry hit because the increases affect everyone across the board. I expect there will be an increase in those unable to keep up the payments on the bounce back loans etc that they had to keep going over the last year or two as well. Still...

I spent way longer than I wanted working out overhead increases and it ends up as needing to increase my rate by 14% to maintain me/the business. That's following an increase at the start of the year. I have (relatively) low business overheads, so I imagine for the higher end of small into...

Barefoot in Manchester.

Pegging sounds more like @Olican 's type of thing?

GSX1100 with a shiny new Wiseco big bore. I might even treat you to some Suzuki motorcycle loveliness in a thread.

I came back to see how all you posh bast4rds are doing.

Thought I'd re-register after some time away. Obviously I'm not allowed into the 'secret' bits yet, so what did I miss?
