Bib and braces! Normally just wear leggings, but I feel the cold so thought that b&b would help keep the wind out. Everyday, at least twice a day I put on my jacket and body warmer only to have to take them back off to put on bib and braces first. They say the definition of stupid is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome :facepalm::facepalm:

Conversations that folk turn around to make it about themselves. Example..

I'd bought a new electric fencer because I needed it and was about to take off to set fence up on turnips when a farming chap who calls in regularly for sympathy, came by. Spotting the fencer, this conversation started.
Him. How much would you have to pay for a fencer these days?
Me. 120 quid,
Him. That is cheap you know, do you realise, that wouldn't buy me a single shoe, let alone a pair.
Me. (knowing what's coming) Oh right
Him. yeah last pair of shoes I bought were £400.
Me. Really
Him. yeh Ive always paid for quality
Me. well ye
Him. My shaver was almost 300
Me. oh right
Him. yeh wet or dry
Him. Coffee is another one, I only buy the best
Me. well that's good, I must get.....
Him. Did I tell you about my 600 pound jacket, triple layer blah blah fudging blah

Half a fecking hour of "let me tell you how bleeding marvelous I am" :mad:
And fermers keep saying they've not got any money, :rolleyes:

Flimsy organ donor cards. I’ve just had to reinforce it with sellotape (y)

How is a paramedic supposed to know if he needs to chuck some ice cubes in to my body bag if my donor card has crumbled to dust in my wallet. I want my corpse to remain FRESH.

Can't an innovative man like you create one from some spare plate steel? :whistle::D
Alas, I have no spare steel available. I weighed it in and swigged the proceeds :hungry:

I think it's one of those interactive ones, it monitors the condition of the card holders organs, the more he abuses his body, too much wine etc etc, the more the card deteriorates, so when the paramedic turn up they can assess if it's worth bothering :LOL:
I suspect the damage was caused by the tonnage sitting on it, so you're not far off!

Do you want one of our frequent (ab)user cards, sir ? ;)
:p
