The 'like' is for the 'you think about them/miss them' bit, not that they've disappeared.

It's strange how you get concerned about people you have never met, nor are likely to, I feel the same.

I think she lived fairly close to here, I put a lidar map up of some of our land and she worked out where it was, she seemed very knowledgeable about archaeology and we struck up a conversation but later posts hinted about issues she was going through

charlie's small baler group has 10.4k members :oops: :love:.....moderator a bit lax though.....got posts about mowers round balers etc

thinking about starting one for vemeer round balers:scratchhead:😁...if i could find another member:scratchhead:

once i stumbled upon a 'pet mice' forum.....from what i could make out it had two members and they were both slagging each others mice off....calling them 'feeders'.....which i presume meant the mice were only fit for snakes/raptors etc:scratchhead:
Cheeky feck!!

Yes I bit 🤣🤣🤣

How the hell there is 10k people on there god knows.

Perhaps if spinney stopped stalking using "someone" else's profile and went on there himself......🤐🤐🤣

so 'break back' hadn't worked..,,,,not that i hit anything...:oops:......the manual stated to put spool in 'float'.....truth is i didn't know what that was.....shoulda googled i suppose anyhoo i've been using it with spool in neutral and it seemed to work.....i mean 'arm' had been moving back ok on joystick controlled spools :scratchhead:....this time plumbed it into a lever controlled.....none of my spools lock in vent which i realise now it should be on.....machine is under a yr old so might get some warranty :scratchhead: but doubt it......mind you an extra piece of plate along the arm woulda strengthened up a lot for a few extra quid:rolleyes:
