Miserable farmers in combines moaning because some polite persons asked them a question but would be ok if j malooney asks pretty sure he runs a metal detecting club he’s not a farmer for sure

How would you like it if I walked into your office or even your house uninvited?

I know in this business we all want the world to be on 'standby' because it's harvest time, but sometimes...... On Friday morning I ordered some oils seals from a regular [but not local] supplier. I asked for Saty delivery where I was told it was not possible as "we don't offer this service", so I said but you could you put the seals in an envelope and first class post them at my risk..? "no can't be done", really I replied, how difficult is that? "Sorry we just don't do it". Surprisingly poor attitude I thought, but maybe it's just me being too optimistic?

Blew an o ring on the pressure side of the hydraulic pump on a tractor about a month ago. Special o ring so one out of a box won’t do. Asked local dealer if they had one they replied ‘no but should get one by the morning hahaha’ so not convinced by his promise of ‘morning’ followed by a laugh, I proceeded to ring another bigger dealer a bit further away he said ‘yes there’s one here only trouble is the lightning last night has fried the internet and won’t be back on until tomorrow and without it we won’t know it’s number or location in here’ I replied what the f@?& is wrong with a pencil and paper??

Democratic and Democracy , If I hear or read either of those 2 words many more times I'll be very tempted to either burn the paper or chuck a hammer through the telly . I wouldn't mind so much it he users weren' t "selective democratists (?) " FFS , we've had a democratic vote - the referendum which resulted in a reasonable majority for "leave" , and as I always understood it, the result should stand and be honoured by the losers - even if it was only one vote that swung it . So why , I ask are the remainers and sundry hangers on bleating about wanting a new "democratic" vote , and are going all out to frustrate leaving ? I personally think it's rather sad that we've got to this state of affairs , and TBH , I'm not sure what the answer is with ALL the parties in complete disarray . Now all the foregoing, DOES grind my gears - severely too . And I'm also upset more than somewhat , that Corbyn's puppet master has seen fit to involve the queen in what is a political matter primarily "Quote(I think) I'll send Mr. Corbyn in a cab to Buck Pal to tell the Queen that "We're taking over " What kind of democracy does the presumptious git think that is ?

The mysterious forces that circle in the ether, waiting for you to make the statement “I’ll be about half an hour”. Immediately they combine to f**k things up, ensuring that you arrive home late again, because the manitou suddenly decided to cut out stone dead in the middle of a f***ing road junction...................for example.

Correct response to that type of person is"no problem, callout charge is £1000".

I would give a realistic date + a percentage. They might not keep asking pointless questions.

I thought I was safe allowing 30mins for a 10 minute journey!!

Everyone else was away home (obviously), which left the old man to come to the rescue with what can only be described as the worlds longest tow strap (Christ knows where he found it, must’ve been 30ft), I’ve yet to calm down.

Did you not offer him a sledge hammer to borrow for his 4 posts.

I have had similar situations in the beef eater at Ross, every so often beef eater offer a dodgy promotion, dad eats for free kind of rubbish. When the bill came it was more that I assumed it will be. After an altercation with the manager who tried to point out the small print, I flipped and told him i was being conned. Any way told him the food was sh!t and was only worth £10 and walked out. Is it just me or is every one out to con and mislead us.

Gave up going there a few yrs ago . I came to the conclusion I could buy old boots from the charity shop to chew on cheaper than their steaks and far tastier !!

Wouldn’t mind at all if you knocked on the door there’s a lot of honest people who metal detect no need to just slag them off put a big sign on all your gates says no metal detecting or don’t approach my combine because I’m miserable and grumpy should do the trick

Was taught that by my gramp and it works for keck-handed folk like me too.
