    Yes Nuckle is the Coventry to Nuneaton rail upgrade. I think the nuckle you are looking for is knuckle. Fig Newton and a Fedora please.

    If you want my advice..................:smile:

    All you'll get off Grouse will be a northern grubby cheese cutter and a stale 'dead fly'.

    Anyway you two should be baned for spelling corrections.

    These think tanks get very excited when they find a way to project numbers that feed their bias.

     

    The CEPR is funded by central banks and financial institutions. The independent is fiercely anti-Brexit. Please try harder!

     

    P.S., take a look at the Cambridge JBS report on these think tanks.  Here's a snippit for you:

     

    "Most estimates of the economic impact of Brexit are based on inappropriate applications of “gravity” models of trade and on a “knock-on” impact on productivity which probably does not exist.

    In each case the effect is to exaggerate the negative economic impact of Brexit.

    This is likely to be a result of a mix of unconscious bias and political expectations and perhaps a degree of group-think."

     

     

    Groups of very bright people can be collectively stupid (a phenomena Irving L. Janis called "groupthink")‐‐whereas very ordinary or dull people can,under the right circumstances, generate real wisdom.

    Not in the general scheme of things for pre planting preparations.

    Yes i've used one intensely to water level some land as this was the easier way to level land. 

    It would be rare in this heavy clay area to use a tiller without ploughing.I've tried and it just wants to Bounce out of the ground at 75mm deep.

    I can imagine the bounce on unploughed land, that why

    I use the chisel plough first..they do resemble your ripper

    but not so deep..pretty good for water retention, and kinder

    to topsoil. I'm interested to know what your'e growing, if

    thats not too nosey.

    Was in town today at a machinery hire place that help me fix a idler bearing on my crawler.

    They had a 6640 in the yard for hire with a 3 disc plough,15,000 a day.

    I noticed it had one of those big draw bars KS was talking about,no using PTO with that on.

    Got a shock of how heavy duty it was.

    Also like in JB's picture,one of the spool's was taken up to use the blade on front of tractor.

    A bit of MJ for youse ( as my grandad would say )

     


    I went to a Olodum concert with my then girlfriend in the late 90’s .
    The group didn’t show and this was finally announced after many false promises about 3 hours late !!
    It was in an inside sports gymnasium and the crowd went wild and wrecked all the sound equipment and anything they could get their hands on emoji23.png

    Me and the gf held back a bit until the majority had left and just managed to catch the mob setting fire to the ticket office after ransacking it !

    They gave a free show a week later but I had moved on and missed it despite paying for tickets whilst everyone else in the town got in for free !!

    C’est la vie !!

    Genius!

    Any artists that can write their own stuff will be appreciated more from me , if you want to become a musician and learn to play an instrument , anyone with a musical ear can do it , but not everyone can write music. 

     

    Today's charts  are full of artists that are more interested in their own image and good looks than creating their own music.  Been like this since the 90's , but of course there are exceptions. 

     

      

     

     

    Modern chart 'stuff' is produced by a sausage machine.

    Artists replaced by a boring computer.

    Timbre, tone, melody, passion, originality, replaced by a robot.

    That's why I like this thread, everyone is different and passionate.
