I was going to reply in the "What grinds your gears" thread to one of the many complaints about Facebook sales chancers, but it's amusing enough on it's own.

What an achievement!
A quite remarkable run and a nice compliment to Roger Bannister too.

As a result of some alleged indoor fly fishing practice, the kids broke the screen on our “big” TV, rendering it unserviceable. I replaced said TV with a new one when they were away for the weekend. Left the old remote out and keep the new remote well hidden.
They haven’t realised we’ve got a new TV in the sitting room and anytime they try it, it doesn’t work anyway, so they’ve stopped going in and messing up the room.
It’s been almost a month........[emoji41]????

Going in to feed a bunch of Heifers this morning and finding the chain on the gate not fastened from yesterday, and the buggers still in there. Must have been our lucky day. ???
We had some gates to repair this week, so we shut the gate into the field to keep the cattle out and dismantled the gates and 2 stretches of fence to repair the next morning, when we got back the next day the 8 year old boy at the farm told us off because we had shut the field gate but the cattle could still get though the handling pen at the other end of the field! Luckily they had not ventured in over night

Steak for tea, doesn’t really cook on Aga type waste of space oven we have. Had a bonfire outside so taking inspiration from the Gauchos of Argentina, I fashioned a makeshift griddle from 2 oven racks wire tied together and attached to the coal shovel (washed). Turned twice, Cooked beautifully!

Listening to my five and two year old sons carpet farming this morning. Older boy giving the younger one jobs to do and teaching him how to stack round bales on his trailer made me smile. Even got roped in to drive the combine!!!

When Mahatma Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed prejudice and animosity towards him..
Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when addressing him as he expected, there were always "arguments" and confrontations. One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room of the University, and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor said, "Mr Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat."
Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied, "You do not worry professor. I'll fly away," and he went and sat at another table. Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi responded brilliantly to all questions.
Mr. Peters, unhappy and frustrated, asked him the following question. "Mr Gandhi, if you were walking down the street and found a package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money, which one would you take?" Without hesitating, Gandhi responded, "The one with the money, of course."
Mr. Peters, smiling sarcastically said, "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom, don't you think?" Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded, "Each one takes what he doesn't have."
Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied. So great was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet the word "idiot" and gave it to Gandhi.. Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his desk, trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move.
A few minutes later, Gandhi got up, went to the professor and said to him in a dignified but sarcastically polite tone, "Mr. Peters, you signed the sheet, but you did not give me the grade."

Big panic in the house tonight .....the thatchers cupboard was empty. I soon jumped into truck to shop and get supplies ...... on the way I came across 2 vehicles with hazards flashing . Wondering what was up I stopped and 2 kids ran across the road with a bit of rope ....." trick or treat mister " they said "else you can't go on " . At first I was not amused then I thought well bugger they deserve something just for the sheer cheek of it so out came a couple of quid and then off I went . What harm were they doing ...nothing ! but they better make sure they aren't there again tomorrow night !!!
