Stupidest invention ever those daytime running lights. Along with those lights that go on in a corner in clear daylight.

Tech that screws around, wanted to get the fertiliser spread before the wind and rain hit so table number one loads up then just shows grey screen instead of the map, second tablet randomly decides to freeze half through the field then randomly go blank, then get the first to work only for it to do the same ended up having to use an app on my phone with a Garmin Glo and finished at 9:30

Sure enough the client has played the race card claiming discrimination to the police. Thankfully the letting agency have backed us 100% and he will be staying completely out of pocket, and blackballed from any future letting with the companyAsian holidaymakers
Turns up this evening having not read the emails from the letting agency giving him directions to the property and the key code . Mrs Bob has to talk him in from 2 miles away. Arrives and out jumps his kid and his wife to a one bed lodge that clearly states can only accommodate 2 people and absolutely no children in booking conditions. Sets up open flame stove next to wooden lodge. When challenged pleads ignorance and lack of English. Given chance to stay one night as long as child is paid for, who at this point is using the sofa as a trampoline. After much heated discussion he is asked to leave. Turns out he has only traveled from Edinburgh 35 mins away.
Since then a veritable avavlanche of texts condemning us to hell and damnation. Contacting his lawyer and getting the police involved. Just know he is going to play the race card
Just as well most of our guests are lovely

OH complains about the pasta machine not working properly. No problem, I thought, probably a hard bit of pasta jamming inside, done the job before, a twenty minutes max..
....what a mistake a to make a !
Three hours later the thing has been taken apart twice and reassembled, seems to work partially assembled but only fully assembled for a few minutes, gears don't look good quality, but hey it's Italiano.
Warranty ran out last year and it's only been used once a month. Check the feedback comments, there seems to be a lot of negative feedback since we bought the thing, we seem to be lucky to get two years out of it. A comment mentioning engineering caught my eye, somebody had the same problem and got his working, the shaft is out of true, a clip missing, a groove needs cutting on the shaft and the gears dressed, a small machine shop is needed.
Pasta machine now in the bin.
Can anybody recommend a good quality manual machine ?

Italy’s great, it comes second on my comprehensive list of countries where bannisters and handrails are always wobbly and loose.
Mexico sits at the top if anyone is interested.

Got up this morning and very little power in lights,infact a glow really and weak one at that.took dogs for a walk and boiled kettle for a flask and power kept tripping in and out and then failed.reported it and went to go do some ploughing.went to open electric roller door on workshop and because of no power I had to use the chain.every 6 ft I pulled raised the door by a couple inches.after 4 ft i was knackered,I’m completly unwell at the moment which does not help either.anyway I eventually got the door open enough to get tractor out but it needs diesel and yes my tank has an electric pump.i have a gravity fed tank that is too low for the tractor so had to lift this on forklift to get it to flow.then tractor front tyre needs air but compressor empty so went without any.done ploughing I wanted to do and went to roll it with my 7710.finished that and decided to fuel up ready to swap onto plough as I need extra power for heavy land on a slope.whilst doing this I noticed a pool forming under centre of tractor which I thought was air con water dripping out but it was oil so getting that looked at tomorrow hopefully.sitting at home now so hopefully a better day tomorrow

I thought that about the fuel tank but then I thought it would be a sod if it was diesel and out.

My Mrs and her poxy horses!!!!!! Tried to help her set up a new electric fence. Never again. 
I have had that 'fun' this weekend. I said what is the point of putting up nice fences if we then have to put up shitty plastic posts and tangled tape inside it? Answer, the horses rub on the fence and make themselves sore! Then we have to move the dividing fence every day or so so they only get a little fresh grass otherwise they make themselves I'll. Stupid animals!My Mrs and her poxy horses!!!!!! Tried to help her set up a new electric fence. Never again.

The pool of oil under the back end of the tractor. Brake rod seals. Never short of a job here.

We were constantly told by my sister that our rams were constantly breaking her electric fence post so I made a load of 5ft out of thick half inch steel pipe though they started getting bent over, the rams were getting the blame until her horse was filmed scratching it's rear on them, over balancing and sitting on them.
