No just happy to have gotten the dopey sod out into the field as well as not having to catch half a dozen lambs because one of the ewes stuck her fat butt through the fence when scratching her arse.

Did try to find one of someone like Fat Bast... from Austin Powers dressed like an elephant

A good mod is a rare beast. An excellent mod is as rare as hens teeth. A good forum relies to a huge extent on a good light touch of a mod. Many forums have failed when the wrong mod has been put in place and they have ruined the whole feeling of the forum. I was asked and refused on another forum a few years ago to be a mod.
I am hoping that the current mods on this forum have watched and learned from the light professional touch in the past.

Who'd be nuts enough to have them :scratchhead:

I like the odd drink but never enough to get drunk, never appealed to me partly from knowing I'd have to work the following day but most after suffering a load of headaches growing up I never saw the appeal of inducing one myself :wtf:

I take my hat off to you, very sensible guy you and i respect that :)
I keep em, but then I'm nuts already :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
They're pretty fulfilling to say the least. Excellent pets :love:

I'm same, Ive never been drunk, although closish once. Most I get is light-headed. Never gone the full monty and I always get really sleepy, which helps me sleep better and deeper than I usually do ;)

I some times think you have to be slightly nuts to farm :wacky:

I also find them filling especially some nice spuds and gravy

How many years this forum been running

A good question. This forum was a continuation of another forum, which really was a continuation of another forum. There are members here from the very early days of the old Farmers Weekly Forum - which was pretty much modded to death.

So to answer this place has been here for a good 5 years now, but a fair few members have been discussing the price of straw for a good few years before that. The actual forum is merely an electronic wrapper around a hard-core of members hell-bent on using the internet to further their businesses.

To those who have never been, I believe you can still read content on the FWI Forum from 2005. Actually, I can still remember the first time I was censured by the mods on FWI! GOod times.

I believe a few nearly got banned a few months ago for not discussing the price of straw in the straw price section

While I am pro the light moderation touch, anyone who joins and their first post is to hypothesise about the price of straw at harvest should have their ip traced, and some of the boys sent round to hypnotise them into pretending they are a lorry driver who needs to deliver both a dead horse and a pan mixer, and is unsure of the directions to Clive's place but has his personal mobile number to call and ask repeatedly at hourly intervals all though the night. Then, when they do turn up they should have been programmed to roundly slag off direct drilling and boast how cheap they can plough for using daddy's Fendt which consumes only an egg-cup of fuel per 100 miles.

At this point, they would come round, and reveal it was all an elaborate hoax to gather data for their 1st year undergraduate coursework.

But is the 3.2 Ranger better than the V6 Amarok???
