Ouch did you throw her down the stairs again #wife beater onesie

send her my regards she’ll have more time to bake now:D

😂👍

I'll pass on your suggestion..

No, whilst putting in some new rainwater drainage along the side of the house, she thought she'd help out and as she was passing some material to me - her ankle went full over and snapped the Fibula and displaced the Tibula.

When you’ve got 6 different buckets for the loaders, one of which has “GRAIN ONLY” painted on it and the old man takes great umbrage at “getting moaned at” for continually choosing this particular bucket to disappear with and fix the road, mix compost, dig out drains, fill in drains, generally abuse and leave covered in shyte.

Takes longer to wash it than it does to change it for the earth bucket in the first place for fecks sake 😡

You could paint it florescent pink and they wouldn't notice, I once sprayed my boots with big white dots so my dad would stop pilfering them though he is an 11 and I'm a size 9 in boots and he still didn't notice the only thing he did was if you tried to change the channel when he was snoring his head off, "Hey I was watching that!"

You need a big bit of bar and a padlock to put through the pin holes so he can’t hitch it on to use it!! And only one key!

Or just take the key out of the telehandler of course?
No no no

There’s 2 “good “ loaders and one with 14,000hrs. So the key is left in plain site on this high houred one, removed on the younger ones.

The old one is left easily accessible as the sacrificial telehandler, but a determined father can often see thru this rouse. Especially when he gets a whiff that there’s another one nice and clean and full of fuel.

Tractor adverts with "very clean", "not cheap", "rare", "will become a collectors item" and to top it all off, no price.
I don't care about stupid terms if you just put the price on, and I don't particularly care about not putting a price on, but don't be a dick about it. Either be honest and put a price on, or don't say "not cheap".
This trend seems to be spreading, quite irritating. On the upside, gives me a reason to moan, which is my hobby.

Asian holidaymakers 🤬🤬🤬
Turns up this evening having not read the emails from the letting agency giving him directions to the property and the key code . Mrs Bob has to talk him in from 2 miles away. Arrives and out jumps his kid and his wife to a one bed lodge that clearly states can only accommodate 2 people and absolutely no children in booking conditions. Sets up open flame stove next to wooden lodge. When challenged pleads ignorance and lack of English. Given chance to stay one night as long as child is paid for, who at this point is using the sofa as a trampoline. After much heated discussion he is asked to leave. Turns out he has only traveled from Edinburgh 35 mins away.
Since then a veritable avavlanche of texts condemning us to hell and damnation. Contacting his lawyer and getting the police involved. Just know he is going to play the race card🤬🤬🤬
Just as well most of our guests are lovely
