Beware who looks in on here.

I decided to go for broke and buy 'Sometimes I Sits and Thinks' and it is a long time since I have laughed over a book so much, probably Terry Pratchett.
So I recommend that you fork out 99p and see what you think.

Is that a little one that digs a 15mm tunnel?

Sorry.

How long have you had that on hold just waiting for your moment ? [emoji87]

Is that even legal? They claim they asked "the question", but the quotes are from an unrelated forum

They actually used our gibberish


Unless I missed it......Did they even credit TFF specifically?

So when do we all get our free copy of the Farmers Guardian.

Cheap copy. And no, the credit - if that's what you can call it - was Farmers Forum with a user name.

I'll let you negotiate my commission @Clive as I'm sure you'll drive a harder bargain

 

[caveman]

Oh?
I presume they look on here at will.
Ironic.
Pop-up said that that was one of my two free goes.
They should pay a royalty.

To add insult to injury I can't even read the article - unless I open an account with them. But why should I bother to open an account? Anything worth reading is on here first.

 

[DrWazzock]

It doesn't really bother me that much if a journalist looks in on here and quotes something in an article. It's a public forum. It was obvious that the "best profession in the world" thread was started for the purposes of gathering material. It happens quite a lot on here in fact. I often read stuff in the farming press that seems to emanate straight from here. Is it a problem? Not really. In some ways it's a compliment that people's words on here carry weight in the media.

A more real problem occurs when regulatory people take an interest and get their claws in, or those trying to do some sort of fraud.

 

[Still Farming]

They don't like farmers helping themselves and knowing too much too.

One of the biggest things I've learned on here is how much stuff I don't need, which a bit ironic for a site that promotes advertisers.

The "John Cherrington" way of farming.
