things that make you smile

Mate of mine runs a vehicle recovery business and gave me a call this evening to see if I was busy. He had been called out to a wedding venue where a guest had managed to slip off a concrete road in his BMW and couldn't get it back onto the track.
It was only a couple of miles away so up I went in the trusty Defender. The chap had got it well and truly stuck, nose down in a 5' gully at right angles to the concrete road. Mates van parked on the road so I went to drive round it and promptly sunk the Defender deep enough on one side to the point where I could just about open the door to get out. Got the winch on the bumper fired up, attached the rope to a substantial straining post 20 yards away and just about got myself out.
At least I didn't have to get rescued which would have caused a great deal of amusement to the gathering crowd of wedding party guests and my mate was glad he hadn't brought his 10t recovery truck down there as that wouldn't have had any room to work.
We then set to and pulled the Beemer out and spent a half hour filling in the trenches back in that I had made in the venue owners recently landscaped area that turned out to be a recently filled in pond. Still we all ended up with the venue owner coming out with some huge pig roast baps for me, the other half who had done a runner out of the motor when I got stuck and my mate.
Free tea and what else would you be doing in an evening?

You bet! There is a pic of a cab on this forum, after the slurry pipe broke and filled it with SH1T; would have loved to have seen a picture of the driver. Always keep the back closed when pumping slurry!

He looks much the same as the cab............

We might have too many dogs.

Having the good fortune to break down at a very kind and generous customer’s farm.
I wasn’t expecting a night out in the cab so I hadn’t brought my supper with me, so he went home and brought back a plate of sausage, egg, chips and beans for me along with a tin of beer to wash it down. Tea and toast this morning, too! What a nice chap

There is such a thing as the "kackende hunde kalender". It is worth looking up, trust me.

Why on earth did you look that up? Then you made me go and do it.

I couldn't resist looking it up. That's a few birthday presents sorted.

Travelling around farms this time of year fixing things, it's always great to be invited into the family kitchen for a cup of tea, cake and a good yarn. Is this just a farming thing?

The subject of William the Conqueror came up at dinner this evening and, being me, I mentioned that before he became King, he was generally known as Duke William, or William the B a stard.

Of course the next question - from middle boy - was 'What's a b a stard?' and an explanation was duly given, cue a pause in the conversation... followed by my little girl in a very quiet and confused voice:

'But if they aren't married, how can they have a baby?'

Some birds don’t understand the concept of a scarecrow or else they aren’t crows.
