    Mostly Tadgh O'Connor, think he is Topline, and Mcmahons for the 4x4(90x90), the structural screws and bolts from secureall fastenings, 24hr delivery took 10 days.

    When I am done i can stick together a materials list if you like, i had planned it that there would be minimal cutting required using stock lengths.
    This too shall pass.

      Do you have any sort of a gutter? Did you deliberately choose the clear corrugated stuff to let the light in or was it just much cheaper?

        Guttering sitting in the garage to be fitted. Picked the clear for light only, visually would have preferred a green but would have been too dark inside, Considered using a mixture but that would have involved decisions on where to place them...im not the best with decisions.

        The rear and left hand side will be boarded with shiplap, was leaving the front open but may put a barn style sliding door yet.

          In fairness to BoJo, you would have to say he is by a long way the least worst on that list
          Bolsonaro is one of the absolute nut cunts. His response to the pandemic is basically an extension of his personal pet eugenics project. Yes he actually openly supports eugenics. He's been on record before several times. Sometimes saying that poor people need to be sterilised to eliminate/crime social problems and other times that black people aren't fit to breed. One of his latest decrees was to make Chloroquine available ASAP and ensure that it is given to all of the poor people first - the first time he actually wants to help the poor.. its not too much of a stretch to wonder why he wants give a drug with so many potentially dangerous side effects to these people first. Hospitals next too favelas or in poor areas were ordered to cremate anyone who died with flu related symptoms with zero testing, zero tracing and zero retention of admission records. The Brazilian numbers are extremely unreliable imo and the sad truth is that the full extent may not be known until after Bolsonaro's administration is long gone. He also recently sacked the head of the federal police (basically FBI) because he couldn't get info on the investigations into his friends and family, his justice minister (a famous former anti-corruption judge) then promptly resigned. There's so much more despicable shit that could be written about this cunt and this is only a sample.

          Interestingly I only recently found out that large-scale immigration of Europeans to Brazil in the early 20th is linked backed to eugenics ideology. Brazil's indigenous and slave population were considered inferior to Europeans by the ruling class (of European origin). Making the country more white or mixed-race was their goal through "Politica de Branqueamento" or racial whitening policy. Asian or African immigrants however were not wanted. Many of the European immigrants were simply given as much land as they wanted when they arrived. I never understood why that even to this day, some of my very well educated Brazilian friends have thus unshakeable, innate, inferiority complex when comparing themselves to Europeans.

                  It is weird isn't it. Brits do seem to have the worst media in that respect. Some of the videos from the last few days are mad. They used to doorstep Jeremy Corybyn every day too.

                  Would the public lose anything by barring journalists from being within x metres of a subjects house?

                                      He is going on waaaaaaaaay too long here. Digging his own grave or maybe he's just trying to put the journalists to sleep.

His response to the pandemic is basically an extension of his personal pet eugenics project. Yes he actually openly supports eugenics. He's been on record before several times. Sometimes saying that poor people need to be sterilised to eliminate/crime social problems and other times that black people aren't fit to breed. One of his latest decrees was to make Chloroquine available ASAP and ensure that it is given to all of the poor people first - the first time he actually wants to help the poor.. its not too much of a stretch to wonder why he wants give a drug with so many potentially dangerous side effects to these people first. Hospitals next too favelas or in poor areas were ordered to cremate anyone who died with flu related symptoms with zero testing, zero tracing and zero retention of admission records. The Brazilian numbers are extremely unreliable imo and the sad truth is that the full extent may not be known until after Bolsonaro's administration is long gone. He also recently sacked the head of the federal police (basically FBI) because he couldn't get info on the investigations into his friends and family, his justice minister (a famous former anti-corruption judge) then promptly resigned. There's so much more despicable shit that could be written about this cunt and this is only a sample.

                                                                      Interestingly I only recently found out that large-scale immigration of Europeans to Brazil in the early 20th is linked backed to eugenics ideology. Brazil's indigenous and slave population were considered inferior to Europeans by the ruling class (of European origin). Making the country more white or mixed-race was their goal through "Politica de Branqueamento" or racial whitening policy. Asian or African immigrants however were not wanted. Many of the European immigrants were simply given as much land as they wanted when they arrived. I never understood why that even to this day, some of my very well educated Brazilian friends have thus unshakeable, innate, inferiority complex when comparing themselves to Europeans.

                                                                      I only found out relatively recently that Italians emigrated there in particular large numbers. We were getting a lot of Brazilian CV's coming in and a lot of them were making a point on their CV to stress they had a European passport and it was always through their Italian grandparents.

                                                                      Once of them is still working for me and she is horrified by Bolsonaro - I only pay passing attention to what is going on out there but everything I have heard about him is absolutely bat shit crazy.

She was told by to put EU citizen in bold at the top of her CV over here much like what you're seeing. Plenty of Brazilians floating about on Portuguese and Germans passports too. The majority though are on student visas to learn English and hope to get a job/visa after. The odd one here on a stamp 4 work visa for niche skills. Any time we'd visit Dublin my gf would always say that Portuguese was the new 2nd language in town, given how often you'd hear it.

                                                                                            Strange moment in Sweden airport on the way back to Ireland with my gf with her brother and sister last November: We were almost last to board. The brother gets stopped at boarding, please step-aside sir, phone call and a mini interrogation ensues. Why are you travelling from Ireland to Sweden as a Brazilian with an Italian passport...? Eh because I can. Then the sister starts getting the same process so my gf walks up with me to see what's happening. The lady who was dealing with us then asks who bought the ticket? Oh so you're Mr Coillcam who bought the ticket, a nice non-threatening Irish citizen. On your way so, hope you enjoyed Sweden.

                                                                                            The thing about Bolsonaro getting elected is that much like Trump he rode a huge wave of anti-establishment sentiment. The anti-corruption, anti-establishment vote decimated the previous left leaning rainbow government. Operation Car Wash investigations unearthed unprecedented endemic corruption across all parties and levels of politics. Every single party was involved but PT (workers party) who were at the helm, took the brunt of the blame. So many people will never vote left again as a result. The truth is that corruption has been the only way to grease the wheels of Brazilian bureaucracy going back through just about every government. The 3rd most recent president Lula is from PT and got imprisoned in dubious circumstances related to alleged real-estate fraud. He would have likely beaten Bolsonaro and the case against Lula was clearly to prevent re-election. He's eventually been released from prison after the election but the damage was done and he can't run for office again until his "conviction" is overturned. All Bolsonaro had to do was keep shouting drain the swamp and he'd get in. It never mattered how bad the guy actually could be. The main judge in Operation Car Wash is the recently resigned former justice minister Moro (due to Bolsonaro's interference with the federal police). Moro is the one who puppeted prosecutors in Lula's case. Moro is likely lining himself up for a run on Bolsonaro when his support wains. Brazilian politics is box-office stuff, whereas we have Healy-Raes fixing the roads and over-priced hospitals.

                                                                                                      Is it related to the Snowpiercer film?

Wife or kids never caught it though so I'm assuming it was one of the millions of things that aren't covid-19, especially since then there were no confirmed cases here.
                                                                                                            Yeah it started on Saturday night and went through to Monday morning. Have felt fine for ~24 hours now. Hoping it was just a bug. I had to make a trip to the eye and ear hospital last week and was extra careful while doing it, but I guess you can't be completely risk free when you've docs and nurses poking around your face.

Geographically speaking its bigger than the size of the EU and the population is 200m+. Amazing people and culture but a complete basket case of a country.

                                                                                                                          If you're ever interested in more of what's going on over there, this is a really a good Youtube channel from Brazil called Greg's News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...tSm3lMmj6As83N. Its basically the Brazilian equivalent of John Oliver or Trevor Noah. You'll need subtitles though but its very funny and informative.
