what grinds your gears

[sawdust]

Sat in hospital filling in a form about how my painful right leg has affected my day to day activities, I mention to the nurse that both legs are identically painful, but the form states right leg on the top. Can I alter it to read both legs ? No, I have to fill in another form for my left leg. OK so could I just put details as right leg ? No I must fill the form in completely for the other leg . I point out the activities are for the same person, in fact my legs are joined at the top. I am told to stop being a troublemaker and fill the forms in.

That's because you were getting all the forms covered in marmalade, nowt worse than a sticky form

We have land away from the farm so we only do round bales on it so in the winter we cart them back and feed them straight.

There is one awkward barsteward that will not reverse for me so I remedied that by taking an old farmers weekly and stopping the engine and reading it. My record this year is 16 minutes before he folds and goes back!

Like my wife says it’s the little things in life that make your day[emoji23]

i often have problems when moving the combine there is usually a notable incident each year we always travel with a vehicle in front with a marker board wide vehicle following the worst are the grockles one chap towing a caravan went up the grass verge to get past the escort vehicle then met me on the big yellow snail he then stopped and wanted me to reverse by this time i had at least a mile of cars behind me so i sat tight and lit a fag and poured a cup of tea he got so mad he tried to push past his caravan rubbing on the combine tire when he got through it looked like a sardine tin open all down the side ,he then started to harass me saying he was going to take me to court, i said i wasn't moving ,so you say he replied, i said looking at the line of cars behind i think i have a witness or two

I had an incident with a bird scaring banger rope that required an operation to my right hand. Prior to the op, the doctor drew a large X on my hand in marker pen. I looked at him quizzically and he sheepishly explained it was so they did they right one.........the blood, swelling and lack of skin presumably not enough of an indication.

The correct terminology is the 'correct hand' terms like the 'right hand' are open to mistaken interpretation, especially when the right hand is the incorrect hand or the left hand is the right hand.

Ah,ok. The right hand was the right hand............no.....the correct hand was the right one...no...er......hang on.....it definitely was nothing to do with the left....

Sardine can classic!!

My next door neighbour has a nasty habit of leaving his at the end of our lane, I’ve nicked it a couple of times with the tanker (by accident of course) but if you lived a bit closer the big yellow snail could come over and eat it!

Time & time again you get hair brains flying round our lanes trying to push by anyone who dares get in their way, the amount of times they come face to face with a big green JD looking down at them as they skid to a halt, but they never learn!!

Yes the hair brains that use the road through our village as an unofficial Hereford bypass are bad enough but we're close enough to the urban eejits to get the learner drivers, fair enough as we all had to learn somewherebut it's the feckin lycra clad brigade that absolutely love the lane with its fairly good gradient to come flying down! The number of numpties I've allmost collected on the bonnet as they fly down just about touching 40mph in the middle of the lane on one of the many blind corners

Gearbox on the mower -'drain and refill with 0.4 L of 140 oil'

I don't have a funnel that will fit through a hole the same diameter as a pencil and I don't have 3 weeks to pour 0.4 L of very thick oil through that tiny hole with no other hole to relive the build up of air pressure.

I have done this a few times, I have a 50ml syringe for the job, 2-3 mins and its full.

This epic man flu cold virus. Sore throat for 2 days while spraying. Inflamed sinuses for 2 days. Streaming nose and now its on my chest not helped by the pollen and heat. The Mrs is constantly fretting over her teaching job but won't change it, my brother is fretting over the sheep clipping thats looming up and will make a mess of half term hols, but he won't change the sheep. I'm actually quite happy doing the arable but all around it's niggles and strife. Insurance man in this morning so expecting another big bill for sweet FA really.

C'est la vie. Vie de merde.

1. kids who apply for job adverts and think their first and only job should be driving a quadtrac or 9RX.
2. buying brand new tractors and staff never ever cleaning, greasing, washing or doing anything to them.
3. buying brand new fertiliser spreader. staff washing them turning AN even more corrosive, and then never returning to oil them...
4. scraping skin off knuckles unseizing adjusters on fert spreader
thank god its Friday and no staff til Tuesday.
rant over.

apparently when the kids go to cycle proficiency they are told to take command of the road and ride one mtr from the kerb ffs that's in the middle around here

Even if there's a cycle lane?

 

[primmiemoo]

Grockles and incomers who cannot/will not negotiate a blind left hand corner safely on an unclassified road. Why do they feel entitled to swing their dangerous lumps of metal on wheels into the wrong side of the road to steer out and around?

I followed some yesterday as I drove to vote. And I met some on the way home

 

[Gordy1]

Every day I meet these Lycra louts on our lanes, some are just ignorant thicko's, who hog the middle of the lane & wont budge, I followed a lone Lycra lout yesterday for must of been well over a mile don't think he knew I was there probably had his ears plugged in!!!! I blame that wiggins bloke, they are all a load of sheep, half of them don't know the Highway Code for cycling!!! This bank holiday weekend wont be worth going out onto the road co's there will be an army of them clogging up the lanes!!!!
Phew!!!! I've got a funny turn come on now I'll have to make a cuppa!!!

Staff who borrow the truck to go fencing.

and leave one or two bits in the back.

Or take the forklift attachment off the loader - which has to be wedged under the scrap bin to stop it going over backwards if a fly lands on it.

Without putting the forks near the ground first.

Wait for it; Inconsiderate farmers in the road.
I regularly tow a stock box on the road and if I get a queue behind me I pull over where suitable but not the t*** towing a fully loaded IW stock box on the A487 from all the way from Aberaeron to Aberystwyth this morning. Over 40 cars behind them (we are number 20ish). We have passed several empty lay-bys but yet they sit at the front of the queue at a maximum of 40mph!

Isn't that against the law tho? I thought it was regs to pull over to let others past.... I may be wrong ofc

 

[Lofty1984]

Were there overtaking opportunities though and car at the front was not passing its those people that are the issue
