.i've resorted to using pictures and re posting yellys 'downfall parody' but i can only do that for so long
So, what percentage of your 'likeys' are actually mine then :scratchhead:

No wonder I didn't even make the table - somebody's been hijacking my my fudgin 'likes' :banghead::banghead: :cry::cry:

In best election tradition, I demand a recount :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Oh, by the way Spin, feel free to re-post the sheep one - help yourself to some more of my 'likeys' ;):playful::playful:

Not sure
Surely Spin must be easy to spot in the market, there's obviously a couple of hand maidens scattering rose petals in his path and a couple of hefty bodyguard types to carry his market topping cheques home afterwards.

:playful: :playful:
I have no idea why, but when I read this the first thing that came to mind was the story of "the emperors new clothes"


Worrying, very worrying.

thursday :rolleyes:

took HH back to nottingham uni today.....her 'baggage train' needed both mrs spins car and me in van:rolleyes:

P1040888.JPG


first up i checked on admiral....only to find it had all 'kicked off' between the 'peacocks' and 'scotties'....i'll have to tell you about that another day:rolleyes:.......anyhoo i ran away....off we set and TBH i was grumpy:rolleyes:....125 mile trip...outta nirfick😭......miserable traffic on a47 in fens......didn't get much better on a1 but turned out it was jd combine holding up 'proceedings'....not farmer but dealer i think cos glanced a jd badged pick up with it......2nd hour i cheered up though and ,by now,sorta know the way to the uni area....ah the joys of 'clifton boulevard':rolleyes: ...a somewhat flattering name for nottinghams ring road:rolleyes:

so we get to house 12:30.....mrs spin + HH start cleaning her room:scratchhead:.....i can't see much wrong TBH....'the last two years it's had boys in it...it's rank '.....me told😁.....i'm hungry anyway so i saunter off and find a delightful little cafe...'alright darlin what can i get yer me duck?'....charming little place....reminds me a bit of attleborough:scratchhead:.....breakfast bap and coffee £4-50:love:.....nice to get away from pretentious north norfolk catering TBH where it'd be 'dry cured berkshire bacon with aracuna egg napoleon...£25':rolleyes:...i'm only customer in there but 'entertainment' soon arrives.....lad and his girlfriend...regulars...i can't get a complete 'handle' on the plot but it goes somat like this ' hello gorgeous how are you today ?'....places order then sends girlfriend off to corner shop for some other stuff meanwhile adding to his order from the counter....a sausage roll first...'i love these cold...the fat sinks to the bottom' he munches 'ere can you make them traditional caramel tarts? i'll marry yer if yer can.....did i tell you about so and so....utter time wasting tosser....gonna delete him from me phone....where's that sh!t useless brother a yours?'......'he's over the road there' 'darlin' replies seemingly oblivious to her customers content.....'oh yeah' he says....exits shop 'OI' and two finger salute to hapless brother😁....finished i retire thoroughly entertained just as the lad states 'look it's her' pointing at some middle aged lady walking her dog..'she tried chat me up last week'😁

back at the house they're ready to unload and finally finished i retire for a rollie......now its a dual carriageway street lined with houses.....suddenly a police car stops over the way and three policemen get out....they've got the baseball caps on.....'feckin great' i think 'there's gonna be a sting.....some bail jumper i reckon...they've a snitch told em he's gonna come up here in a car.....bet they're 'tooled up'.....guns in boot...feck they're calm/relaxed....obviously elite'(y).....then suddenly they stop a lady in a green renault kaptur:scratchhead:.....i look down the street and theres a policewoman with a speed gun.....it's a feckin speed trap:rolleyes:...ffs the disappointment:rolleyes:

2pm i leave mrs spin still fettlin HH and have a bitta 'adventure' on way home:oops:



took daughter back to nottingham uni today....on way out radcliffe area....good wide road there was a jd with drill .....coupla cars behind him waiting to overtake.....i sat back another 30 yds out slightly ...i reasoned i could see ahead better than the two cars and when opportunity arose could quickly close the gap......anyhow next thing airhorns...irrate artic driver.....could see the 'daf' up close in my wing mirror....temporarily dumbstruck i pull over just as first car starts overtaking deere.....artic steams past ...gets behind 2nd car and they all JUST make it

SO :scratchhead: was i wrong to hang back? should i just gone straight up behind cars?

edit..forgot to say i got airhorns to :rolleyes:

i've greatest respect for hgv drivers.....in fact i think they're more professional now than they were in 1970s/80s...lot more courteous + can do IMO.....this guy wasn't though....i can tell more tales later......but i was thinking....i'm entitled to drive how i think best but is the 'protocol' if theres a line of traffic you drive nose to tail :scratchhead:

maybe.....didn't get the airhorns til he was going past if thats what you mean :scratchhead:

ok bit more of the story....i get past jd/drll soon after and turns out we're headed same way.....the company is well known outfit outta posh;)......so coupla junctions later another hapless car in front of him gets the airhorns which makes me feel better somehow:bag:

eventually he's stuck behind a car towing a catering trailer and me behind....i'm bit ticked off TBH cos i don't react well if i think someone's trying to bully me:bag:....i'm still a bit back but make sure i can see his mirror so he can see me.......anyhoo we're on quite a bit normal road then it widens temporarily to help a right hand turn off.....'daffy' see's this as a chance and overtakes car with catering trailer....unfortunately there's an empty car transporting artic trying to turn right.....he's nearly into the back of it....cue airhorns.....car with trailer brakes....car transporter just turns enough and 'daffy' scrapes through

soon after that he turns off onto a1 ...i'm still pee'd so give blast on my horn as i undertake:bag: and get airhorns back

friday/saturday

trying to get straw carting whilst events seem to conspire to disrupt my mornings .....fortunately able to catch up a little in afternoons:)

friday i noticed a little oil around the farmhouse kerosene tank....thankfully not very much at all but i diagnosed 'pin hole' leak from sediment bowl...i'd been nagging our old heating engineers to replace at last two services....each time....'i ain't got one wiv me':banghead:.....anyhoo i turned off the tap and our new 'pigeon boss' boy'..'pbb'...called in today with filter + seal but no bowl:rolleyes:...fair play he's coming back sun:)

got to straw field early this morning and just as i was loading a thick sea fret descended...real 'pea souper':oops:......thought i'd better check lights on trailer and found wire frayed:oops:.....patched it up and by the time i'd finished the sun burnt the fret off as quickly as it had formed:oops:.....got back to yard....admiral had left door open and gone off with K checking sheep....i found snot in the cloakroom....kitchen and living room....a bag of garden bird food... scattered...was being consumed:banghead:

so al in all everythings pretty 'normal'😁
