A carpenter (at least in the UK) is going to be expected to be able to replace or repair joists, sash or bay windows, lats and other roofing and wall structures. Indoors or out.

It’s a big assumption that you can rely on power/bench tools. At some point you’re going to have to get the chisels, plane etc out.

lol what.

No.

I work in tech. But (long story) started with a few years of carpentry/joinery. It is not easy on the body, unless you’re just making small boxes or cabinets. And even then, it’s still not really that easy.

Whoa…

Oh bollocks. How do I cancel the voicemail I left Randolphilus.

Some background checks will look into your taxes and finances. Cousin Randy needs to be organised and rich.

Hmm yeah don’t do that with any job with decent background checks.

See, I can do this, and often do. I wake up at 0730 naturally and it’s a great feeling when I wake up a couple of mins before the alarm. But I do set an alarm - because I’d never, ever bank on it.

Sod’s Law I’d sleep in when I need to catch a flight.

I don’t discriminate. Humans, bots, whatever.

Lol. Ok I’ll try: A/S/L?

ASL?

Well then the court will progress to asset seizure if he doesn’t pay. He doesn’t really need that Scottish golf course, perhaps it could be turned into a public park - or perhaps a country retreat for traumatised US citizens seeking asylum.

Auntie far. HTH.

A notable omission from that list is Montane. I think they’re UK based?

Better than entomology, which just bugs me.

Amen to this. I have to use a Win machine for work and it’s absolutely bloody maddening. Ctrl-Shift-V always.

I’ve taken to saying ‘adequately, thanks’.

This is what leadership looks like. As many people as possible should watch this.

Brit here. Слава України! Ви любов вас. Моя сімʼя і Я надія that you prevail.

You have a beautiful country and people. Don’t lose hope. I hope that Europe and the UK find a solution that gives Ukraine the edge to push them back.

I’ve wanted us (fwiw) to put boots on the ground in UKR for a long time despite Putin’s threats. Pretty sure the Polish do too.

Все нас любов. Excuse the crap learner Ukrainian.
