Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 14, 2021 Author Site Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2021 A much smaller scale, but it always impresses me when I go to Fox's Timber up Withnell (near Abbey Village). An old quarry adjacent for storage, full of felled trees. Meanwhile all sorts of wood products, piles of bark chips, and composters. Fascinating, and using all parts.

Youri McAnespie Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Jackson Lamb? He sounds exciting enough. Has he got an old pal from the SBS days who still with 'the firm', helps him out with intel, name Clint Source? Is Jackson a hard-bitten maverick? Would he drive at 45mph in a 30 zone if it was to stop a former lover falling victim to chockabloc poisoning off a DHS agent gone rogue? Is he mates with Jack Reacher?

Nope Our spymaster is overweight, puts his feet on the desk with his toes poking through his socks, drinks whiskey, smokes high tar cigarettes, lives on chinese takeaways and farts and belches a lot. His team are all secret service no hopers and usually muck everything up and have to endure his sarcasm, in one book they were keeping an eye on an obvious Nigel Farage clone but accidentally killed him.

Perfect précis. There's a pretty obvious Boris Johnson clone running through the series as well. No surprises, he's also a cunt.😃 Edited April 18, 2021 by mickbrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work with China to weaken the west by obliterating economies with a virus and orchestrating division with brexit and trump. All one big plan all this. Called it the day Trump got in power.

If he saw a Russian plane flying over Downing Street he’d probably wave at it and claim it to be a beautiful Brexit bonus the thick cunt.

We are due one massive kick off and it wont be pretty. That didn't work out well then. Russia proper fucked by the virus too. Anyway, we've sent some troops to Poland for this border issue. Perhaps quite useful if Putin is flexing his muscles again, add them to those in the Baltic states, and we'll have a few available...
