Thought you were going to say 'get his act together' :D:D:D

My problem in life could be well known by yourself Mr G and also by you Ben,

Being a victim of my own success is going to keep me flat out until I'm........... well...flat out so to speak.

just short of 10 years ago having lost both brothers in a space of 18 months and both in their 40's I decided to take more of a back seat in life, since demand for quality has increased to a level similar to 10 years previous and I am now just as busy as I was back in the day. problem is being the wrong side of 50 my bones are aching trying to keep up with it all !

Off to Whitchurch on Sunday. .....don't think it rains as much down there as it does up here in pee valley;)

Inch of rain this week but it's dry now as far as the forecast goes, 12/14 degrees on Sunday and light soil so ploughing won't be a problem Ben.

Was told by one of my customers 20 years back that I wouldn't last forever trying to do the work of 2 men, I laughed at the time, paying hard for it now though !

Fortunately it's not affecting bed time just yet Fred, mind says yes, body say WHOOPY :D

I should hope not at your tender age! :D:D:D

Anyway I thought this was a competition ploughing webpage - or are you going to tell us all that it is a rudimentary form of ploughing you are talking about?

Hope you have not been chipped Mr Stokes

Them blue pills could have lasting effects beyond your control...

Kinnell it's all coming out now. Bit of a con going on by the looks of things. Needs to get his rulebook out (did say earlier that this is a ploughing web page) and read the bit about assistance - says quite clearly 'by his own efforts'

Anyway he is still a bit premature with the blue pills at his age, that is unless he had a very very hard paper round! :D:D:D

I could ask about his handling & gardening but that could be below the belt

:)

Whilst handling and gardening are currently banned, I think it would be perfectly OK on a raised bed! There is always the question of whether or not it's gardening or just simply a primary cultivation?, after all it is in private and not as though it was happening outwardly at a match with judges and stewards keeping a close eye on things.
