Son court two chap cutting a tree down for firewood on the side of the road. He asked them what they thought they were doing cutting our tree down, tidying up the countryside said quite aggressively. He got out of his truck with attitude he’s a 6 foot 6 second row and told them to leave . They did , he took the manitou back and had the logs for himself .

Replacing a couple of fence posts in the wind and rain, only to find the strainer and thruster at the far end are rotten.

When every nut and bolt on a machine is a burner job to free it off. Do some folks coat things in battery acid before assembly? I’d say some secondhand machinery is rendered more or less worthless by the effort and damage involved in changing tines etc. Wouldn’t stop it being advertised for £k in a dealers yard though.

It’s noticeable when I come into town, how loud people are. Conversation going on at the moment across the full length of a hospital car park between “Wayne” and his Mrs.

NHS in Lincs. Absolute shambles from start to finish. A system where patients are just the fodder needed to keep the salaries rolling in.
Would rather die at home than be dragged through this TBH. Nearly 12 months of misdiagnosis, botched op and interminable delay. Thousands of miles travelled and waited countless hours for next to no progress. Even the prescription for morphine has just been turned down at the pharmacy because the consultant hadn’t completed the form correctly.

no, you’re dead right, mostly it’s the office bods to blame, but today that combined with one of the Gorbal’s finest thinkers at the wheel.
Had to talk him in from 7 mile away in the end……… there was only one turn off the main road to take. And he had a good postcode.

At Christmas we had 3 separate water related disasters in the house, at great expense and damage with lots of time cleaning up 3 different events we though we had it sorted.
Last night I walked into the bathroom and the floor tiles had lifted and squirted water up when you stepped on them! We drained the crapper and turned it off, then today we get home and the boiler is leaking heating oil! We can’t have it leaking at this price!

A townie acquaintance of mine sticking a picture up on Farcebook of him "cuddling" what looks like a week to ten day old lamb that's wearing a bloody nappy and he thinks I'm the arse for calling him a prat!

 

[Jonp]

Had a pet lamb sharing the caravan with me for a week or so last year untill his eyes sorted themselves out. Surprising how much they p!ss and sh!t everywhere...especially when I step out of bed in the middle of the night.
This year's pet lives in the shed.

 

[JWL]

I know how much of the sticky crap they can do, I've had them in the kitchen to revive them with the warmth etc but I would be damned if I would have a healthy older lamb in the house as a pet as this one surely was.
I blame that feckin eejit Walt Disney for making all the great unwashed in thinking that animals can talk and are all cute and cuddly.
