I don't have many farming friends particularly but I have noticed that practically every non-farming acquaintance is going through some family squabble over elderly parents, the family home or who was left what, and common denominators seem to be "the crafty couple" who never did much hard work...

I heard the shortage was cause by a nasty smash in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Not too bad here after a seriously windy session yesterday that had some roof sheets banging. It was warm enough in the tractor to make me doze off briefly when parked, but there are an incredible number of midges about as the sun warms all the water pools and dries out the mud. I don't think I...

I watch a young couple on Youtube who make local history videos about old railways, canals, Roman Roads, etc, and they are mostly enjoyable but they get a real bee in their bonnet about land ownership. A recent video explained how ludicrous it was that since the areas of Public Access Land had...

Every time I watch a video of a hand grenade being dropped from a drone into a trench, it makes me think of Uncle Hubert dropping small bombs and taking pictures over the side of his Bristol Fighter. It amazes me that the RAF of 1918 had 10,000 aircraft on strength, each one being closer in...

In the long run, it might just seem that the couple of decades post-cold war were just a brief quieter period in the west rather than the run up to WW3. When we were kids, there was far less news coverage but wars broke out everywhere all the time, and the major powers were just as tooled up...

I'll have a cow calving that night.

As the Chinese army arrives, I'll be quids in.

Bring it on, I've been wondering what to do with myself now I'm getting a bit creaky. :LOL:

This is the sort of thing TFF should advocate:

I don't want to ban flying, but it would be good if the council could stop being so hypocritical. Bournemouth-C'church-Poole council made a big hoo-haa the other day about their meat free days and how they had won a national award for their vegan friendly status. This week, all the news releases...

All our estate FBT and grazing tenants were given the boot 5 years ago when they decided to put it all into a stewardship scheme. I lost 100 acres out of 300, the rest either being our own or rented on an aha. Rather cheekily, they realised as termination date was approaching that it required...

I have been spending an unhealthy amount of time in the graveyard lately sorting out mum's gravestone, and have been increasingly bothered by our old family angel who overlooks the proceedings from a few doors down from mum and dad's pad, and has lost her outstretched hand at some point in the...

I have a Twose linkbox with the flip over top. It's still very handy for picking up calves and things.

Do folks still use blob-markers? They are a memory of my student days in the '80s along with Silade and Propcorn.

We've had our share of numpties today. We are next to an A road with a section of the old single track road running along our front like a lay-by and used just for the few houses and the folks who visit the buildings for the Tool-Aid charity. The old road was cut off in 1930 and features a hump...

Asking for a friend...after you have shot them, how do you get rid of the bodies?? :LOL:

You can get away with it anyway since the whole of the Hampshire Police are over here stopping trailers with dodgy lights. :LOL:

A few days ago the police and VOSA decided to take over the old bit of cut off road outside our gate and do an all-out vehicle check on HGVs, then Ifors and finally random cars. At one point, there were 12 police and VOSA vehicles parked outside and they even had drones up over the buildings...

I'm surprised they use The "Trusted King James version" while including the Declaration of independence
