In true farmer fashion I shall give you one piece of advice:








I wouldn't have done that.

I'll get my coat...

Double checked with some Dr friends, and they concluded that this time it was an A&E job..

Yeah... anything involving bone can get pretty serious pretty quickly.

Regarding my own attempt at leg surgery with a grinder-cutter at Christmas, the best news - despite the gore - was that I missed the bone.

Best f British.

I was expecting something like 'Don't bite your nails when drugged!'

 

[ollie989898]

Anyway being useful yes I would have said that is an emergency department job to have it cleaned and stitched. Wouldn't be surprised if some antibiotics are involved as an infection in the bone is something no one wants.

I appreciate this is not in the farming tradition, but there is this thing that will keep your limbs and appendages intact for less that this costs in the long term - even with insurance...

Probably as good a place as any to put this. Got a phone call from the police last night, saying they'd had a 999 call from my phone

After a bit of confusion, managed to convince them at must've been accidental in my pocket. Apologised profusely and supplied my name and address for their log

15 mins later a couple of concerned police rock up in the yard. Apparently it happened when I was shifting the cattle out of the feed passages, to do a round with the feeder wagon, with the help of a wildly overenthusiastic young dog I have just now.
They had a recording of me yelling "BACK OFF!, or you'll get hurt, you f**king idiot"

I can see how that would sound, out of context...

Good to know what you need to say to get a blue light response!

I had an old Nokia that somehow would occasionally do Emergency call and they would phone back to make sure aok!

Nice to know they care - that's what fwends are for, and that my Council Tax is being spent wisely!

 

[David1968]

Completely ruined my normal working practice. I was about to give him a mouthful this morning, and stopped myself...

Could have been worse.
One of our large Angus cows is called Diane Abbot.

I didn't realise Diane Abbot was Scottish!

That's racist!

Only called Diane as they are both good at maths.

Apparently the magic trigger words for a rapid response are 'I think he may be armed'...

I managed to make the 999 call by mistake as well. Was busy sweeping a bin out, phone in pocket, singing away to myself. They phoned, asking if all was ok. I apologised profusely, at which point the chap said ‘so you bloody should with a voice like that’.
They explained that even with keypad locked, many phones will allow emergency number to be dialled.

On the newer iPhones you squeeze the off and volume up buttons together long enough and it dials 999 and all your emergency contacts.
