got a contracting customer who always puts a compliment slip in with the cheque saying thanks for a great job! he is use ually in teneriffe or cornwall when were doing it but its worth a million dollars!


Can’t fault that!! Shows they value what you do to take time out to write it then!

Reminds me of the funniest testimonial I have ever read, which coincidently I only came across earlier today.

Watched Liam Neesons new film “Ice Road” last night, what a masterpiece.

Got everything, shameless product placement, explosions, successful cpr on a drowned casualty in a sitting position, ice diving wearing only jeans, a beanie and lumberjack shirt, obligatory Hollywood spec 120 speed gearboxes fitted to the trucks, ensuring 4 harsh gear changes per scene, and my favourite: putting 2 fully loaded artics on their sides, on ice, and then righting both using only a single winch (which then snapped off pulling a out a stuck unit without trailer).

oh and he batters his way out of a locked shipping container using only his bare hands and a piece of pipe. 🤣

best film he’s made since the other one in the artic where he survives a plane crash amd several days hiking in sub zero conditions to end up fighting the king wolf with his bare hands whilst all the junior wolves look on in open mouthed respect.

5 stars!

Half watched it the other night as well. Don’t forget all those trees growing in the Arctic circle too! 😁

That's how one of my uncles brought his elevator to his brothers' farms when each of them needed it. More than 12 miles to Dad's in those days. I think the shortest journey was around 5 miles. I was too young to remember the size of the wheels.

It was the mid 1970s, though. Makes me smile remembering, actually. They all of them got on with each other back then.

My own stupidity does make me smile every now and then. I lowered the right hand mower on the side of a field into a ditch while it was on. Imidiatly saw some tall gras moving "oh right there is barbed wire there". Let the pto run out, lifted up and all is golden. I take the next corner thinking there is no barbed wire there untill some 20 meter later I see a wire going to the mower at an alarming rate. Me saying to myself: well yes you shining light, you should've known as that wire has been there for years and you are the only person mowing there, 4 times a year. Good thing I was close to homeas is was a bugger to get off.
So here is a picture of a conditioner with barbed wire wrapped around.
All this would been fair game if I had not done the same thing to my rake on the same field a day later...
