As we all know things are always easy and black and white behind a key board.
My wife always says I come across as nice on a forum.😂

Excuse the dust haven't had a chance to wipe the paperwork this week, any ideas why this has started blowing apart during washing down? Do I just need a new rubber joiner? It's driving me crazy!
Jubilee clips will be cheaper than a new rubber,buy x4 because another joiner will slip somewhere along the line.

Is it just because the rubber has worn out then? Never had a problem until the past week and I'm going insane from running back and forth to push the bloody line together!

Jubilee clips will be the death of me 😂

It’s probably the rubber just swelling a bit,chemicals don’t help,they make it slippery,I would only use a joiner with jubilee clips anyway.

They did actually snap a hot wire and escaped, well it wasn’t that hot as it turns out two of us both thought the other had changed the fencer battery last week 🙈 impressed they’ve stayed in so long.
not much grass to be had there. Youngstock on it well into December.

The wash will make the pipes move slightly when it is surging, you might find you want to move the stainless pipes closer together and clamp them tighter before doing whatever you do with that joiner

Guess who's arsehole cows won't come out the field, got back late from dad's and it had gone dark so the cows couldn't see where they were going, through both sets of fences and now quite content and won't leave the bloody field 🤬
Never has once a day milking looked so attractive...

Just walk away. There mostly all heavy in calf with you aren’t they? It’s gone 7pm. Go down the pub. They’ll be happy as Larry to be milked tomorrow morning
