Today’s Disaster

[Scholsey]

I lost my favourite 10mm spanner today.

buy another one exactly the same and you’ll find the first one.

If there's one size of spanner I keep several spares of....

I "found" a long lost 13mm spanner in a box of nails/screws/bolts(not 13mm)/junk the other day. Now, if I'd just lifted it out when I saw it then I wouldn't have to "find" it again when I've got time!

Did you do it on purpose? Cause sounds like a accident to me and insurance is for accidents

I most certainly didn’t do it on purpose, my head is still ringing now

 

[Kiwi Pete]

We’ve all been there Pete. Do you kid yourself it’s the best job in the world, like I do?!!

It is the best job in the world, if you ignore the fact that farmers make it f**king hard work

the technology was there to smooth out that crossing, but "my tractor gets through there alright"

 

[Adeptandy]

Was his missus worth it?

No, and she wasn’t there

If anyone sees a green-handled penknife could they let me know.
Currently in early stages of a grief reaction.

House refurb manager has decided to self isolate. That's fecked that right up!

insurance agent will say hit an imovable object by accident is claimable

once is an accident but twice could be called careless (especially when a youngster does something the second time )

no harm in claiming they can only turn you down if you are not covered

Something terrible has happened to my bag of sand. Delivery driver HIAB's it off the lorry and places it behind the wagon. Then reverses over it at high speed when he turned round to leave the yard. To be fair, the bag of sand fought back valiantly, and ripped the rear mudguard clean off the lorry.

Old david brown 1210 has dropped a valve milling, 15 billion hours on the clock and I think she's had enough.
Its been towed to the back field and left there for now until I decide what to do with her, poor old lass.
Can't imagine the farm without a brown so iv got a 990 in the pipeline.

Clearly it's not fit for purpose now since it got dirty during delivery so I expect they'll have to twist your arm to keep it with a 50% refund?

Bulk blower has been in the yard since 11am. Got two bins filled, before the donkey engine packed up. Two products stayed on the lorry - the ones we *really* needed today - while the mechanic valiantly tried to get it running again.

They both have up and left at 4pm, leaving us to enact our contingency plan of feeding gilt nuts to 800 odd grower pigs, by hand, in straw yards, in the dark, after a typically physical Monday (i.e. effin hard work anyway).

Still, it's done now. Hopefully the pigs appreciate it. Can't hear any squealing...

He offered to go and get another bag, but after seeing the damage he'd done to the lorry, I took pity.....

Any excuse to use a wheel barrow and shovel with you, isn't it?

 

[Adeptandy]

That’s ruined the next couple of days work

There's a secret Amish community up that way from what I hear on the grapevine. Old Fords are allowed as they only tolerate pre-1843 technology.

Found an old adjustable spanner a few months ago in a crawler that I sold. Dad was happy as it had been missing for 30 years, so it got hung up in the workshop, 'back in its old place'.

4 days later our alarm goes off in the middle of the night, went out to discover a couple of undesirables legging it out of the yard.

The ONLY thing the got away with was this adjustable spanner!!!!

Chainsaws, hedgecutter, strimmers, cordless tools, quad bikes all not touched!

Snapped a bootlace this morning ,what a bugger

Maybe you could get a second hand one on e bay?
Lucky the SFP is due any time to cushion the financial impact. We had a similar thing yesterday, blowout on the wheelbarrow while taking a corner too fast fully loaded! Luckily ATS have found me a part worn replacement but unless they can find a used one the tube may have to be new. At least there will be no income tax to pay next year!

Should you decide that you don’t want to tackle her, would you let me know, I may be interested in a project...
