I've been wondering for a while now if the settled weather of recent weeks is due to the lack of aircraft in the skies...
Nothing to do with aircraft emissions, purely the act of them pushing through the air.
Like when a truck or bus drives by someone standing on the foothpath, they experience an initial force from the air displaced, and a lull in the aftermath, only in this example, potentially magnified and exaggerated, by the speed, volume and number of aircraft in the upper atmosphere.
who knows?

My assumption is he's just trying to get the most he can for it. I offered current market price, but that's about 600 less than I think he was offered last year. I remember when we were talking about it in february, he said if he was to break the tractor for parts, he thought he'd get around 1200 for the wheels and tyres, I thought he'd get about 800 though I didn't tell him that.
As you can imagine, I don't happen to have a couple of spare tractor wheels and tyres lying at my arse, so I'd have to buy some, and drop my offer to accomodate the extra expense.
First local quote for a pair of rims was 250 quid, then tyres are needed on top.
So I imagine it'll come down to further negotiations for it as it sits. It's not on it's original rims anymore, it's on bigger ones, and I must admit, I like the bigger ones, so we'll see.
He's in no rush, I'm in no rush
Shame it wasn't car rims, for I'm sure I must have about 40 of different sizes kicking about

Love him or hate him, Trump was right about one thing he constantly said at his rallies; after the election Covid 19 will be gone. It was clearly used as a political weapon on many fronts (mail in voting and political attack) since no one pinpointed what else should have been done. Now people are celebrating in the street as if there is no pandemic at all.
The likes of what Michelle Obama said about making it even easier to vote after congratulating Biden/Harris I think is scary:
France allowed mail-in voting from 1958 to 1975. It was replaced by proxy voting by law 75-1239 in December 1975. The reasons given at the time to get rid of mail-in voting are the same reasons not to reintroduce it today, namely, that it can and did permit significant fraud.
It is hard to believe Biden "attracted" more votes than Obama.
The mail in voting, EVEN IF FAIR, heavily suited the democrat / liberal ticket.
To simply disenfranchise conservative voters who mostly only come out on election day is disturbing.
Furthermore in person voting could easily still have happened I believe during this pandemic with measures and social distancing in place.
Have the voting stations open for 24 hours for several days if you have to.
Glad we didn't have an election in the UK this year.

Brisbane to Coventry, about a week, proceed through customs and onto Belfast mail centre, a further 5 days
and for the last 4 days my parcel has been sitting in the parcel force Belfast depot, waiting for them to write to me, asking me to pay a vat bill and service charge, before they will deliver.
For me to then have to fill in a customs declaration, to reclaim the vat and service charge that were never applicable to this purchase in the first place

It really is feeling like 2009 again, we had Professor Neil Ferguson predicting a worst case scenario of 65000 deaths from swine flu, and a best case scenario of 3100 deaths. In the end swine flu killed 457 people. We had the brand new vaccine Pandemrix, given to 6M people in the UK. The vaccine had been approved by the European medicines agency for use across the EU, despite minimal clinical trials. The manufacturer, GSK was given an indemnity by the UK Government, yet a major study (after the event) by the UK Health Protection Agency (now PHE) found around one in every 55,000 jabs led to narcolepsy.
If memory serves from the Pfizer press release, their vaccine has been extensively tested on approximately 43,000 people.
If memory also serves, Pfizer set a record for the largest health care fraud settlement, and the largest criminal fine of any kind with 2.3Bn dollars in 2009.
And as a side note, Sir Patrick Vallance joined GSK in May 2006 as Head of Drug Discovery.
Forgive me for wanting more information to try and make a better informed decision, but all I am hearing on the news tonight is this is an apparent wonder cure.

I was interested to read this morning in an article titled Oxford vaccine regulatory authorisation: FAQ
"This efficacy result is based on data from younger (18–55 years old) adults – how do you know that it is safe for older adults?
The MHRA have approved this vaccine and have come to the conclusion that the dosing schedule can remain the same for these groups, we know further results are due in the next couple of months and will build on existing knowledge for older adults."
Link for the above..
https://www.research.ox.ac.uk/Article/2020-12-30-oxford-vaccine-regulatory-faq
Which had me wondering what have the MHRA published about this?
So a quick visit to the government website revealed the following...
"Elderly population
Efficacy and safety data are currently limited in individuals ≥65 years of age (see sections 4.8 and 5.1). No dosage adjustment is required.
Paediatric population
The safety and efficacy of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca in children and adolescents (aged <18 years old) have not yet been established. No data are available."
and demographics quoted as...
"Baseline demographics were well balanced across COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca and control treatment groups. Overall, among the participants who received COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca, 94.1% of participants were 18 to 64 years old (with 5.9% aged 65 or older); 60.7% of subjects were female; 82.8% were White, 4.6% were Asian, and 4.4% were Black. A total of 2,070 (35.6%) participants had at least one pre-existing comorbidity (defined as a BMI ≥30 kg/m2, cardiovascular disorder, respiratory disease or diabetes). The median follow-up time post-dose 1 and post-dose 2 was 132 days and 63 days, respectively."
Full link to the above information...
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca/information-for-healthcare-professionals-on-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca
And yet the government is rolling this out first to the elderly and vulnerable?

I couldn't believe the total deaths registered chart (for England and Wales) when I looked at it today... There has been a massive spike in deaths recorded in England and Wales this last few weeks. The jump on the chart was so big, I didn't believe it, and looked up the figures myself on the ONS. Between beginning of September and 1st of January the total weekly deaths recorded in England and Wales have fluctuated between 8k to 13k per week...
December to January figures
04/12/20 12,303
11/12/20 12,292
18/12/20 13,011
25/12/20 11,520
01/01/21 10,069

That’s been over 6 months virtually booze free, I’ve impressed myself!
And the tractor story is getting more and more into the realms of what’s the chances of that...
Firstly, finding it
Secondly, lady at the dealership still working there, and able to confirm it as the one supplied to my uncle.
Thirdly, The former training manager at the factory, who had to reconcile details of over 600 tractors at the time of the factory closure, has details of only one tractor the same model as mine... and it’s my one.
Fourthly and finally, I bought a panel on eBay, which when I contacted the seller about sourcing other panels, turns out he used to work at the dealership that supplied my tractor, and he even remembered it.
It’s almost as if it was destiny!

Bad Attitude is the greatest album ever. You will never convince me otherwise. ��
It does contain my favourite song ever, but it wouldn't be my favourite album ever...
I was just going to play the Bad Attitude LP as you put the thought in my head, but Bat 2 was already on the player from last time... and as I'm a Bat 2 generation, and it's my favourite album ever
I think I'll listen to some Bat 2 instead (on LP)

I've let myself down, and badly.
Went hoaking through some archive material, and found 4 mini discs, so had to play them to see what was on them... nothing interesting. But having gone to the trouble of getting the minidisc player out and hooked up, I thought I'd have a look through some of the recordings I'd done 20 plus years ago, and one was labelled Love Mix. So I had to play it, and it was going great till track 4. Track 4 is Boyzone no matter what, and track 6 is Britney Spears.

The cost of lockdowns crisis is really starting to pick up pace now, but was correctly predicted back in early 2020. The cost of the dangerous experimental gene therapy vaccines was clearly evident in the data over 18 months ago. From one manufactured crisis to another, to another, to another and so on. Is this the most dangerous time in history? Is it the most evil time in history? Who knows. But the convergence of the greatest fraud in history, along with the greatest crime against humanity suggests it's not a good time.. And there's a lot more to come.

I spent a few hours walking today on the north Antrim coast. Lovely weather, spectacular scenery! I don't think I've ever taken as many pictures in one day. It's a part of the world I know fairly well, yet never took the time before to actually go and explore. There's much more to explore, see and experience, but my feet, knees and hips have had enough, so a few more visits required.
Feels so good to be amongst friends here on the Forum :)

Sadly not, I had hoped to get a pint in the harbour bar in Portrush before heading for home, but I was physically done, got a cod supper, watched the sunset, took a few pictures, but sadly no pints that day. Ironically I think the last time I was in the harbour bar in Portrush was with this forums very own former frequent poster Lord Kagan.

Safe and effective, a second opinion was well worth a watch.
But it's actually lovely to see Dr Malhotra and Nurse John Campbell have reevaluated the evidence, and appear to now be on the right side of history.
I Just hope more people are not afraid to look at the evidence, understand the data and be prepared to speak out. The more people that speak out, lift their heads above the parapet and speak the truth about these dangerous unnecessary experimental gene therapys the better.

Many many thanks for uploading the extended version!! If only the whole recording were to appear at some stage, but I've waited nearly 29 years to see that footage, so I'm happy to wait a few more.
It really was an awesome gig on the 7th.. Meat appeared to have a great time, as of course did the audience :)
That wembley gig looks to have the WTTN stage set up, as far as I remember, we had the earlier tour stage set, but then it was a smaller venue. Again if I remember correctly, it was "little brother Tony Loaf" that did the wasted youth speech for our gig.
