Sometimes better just cut the string with the long handled fert bag slasher that fiddle with a knot under a half ton bag.

Problem is on a box drill u have to tie it off to move

Both my tractors are on cat3 balls so I leave a set on all the implements rather than faff on swapping them round

why is it when someone borrows something out the yard and there tractors on Cat2 rather than putting the balls in the workshop or nearest tractor they get set on random walls bales or just the floor for me to find

All my stuff has a set of balls on, someone borrowed something or hires something and it comes back with no balls, it usually a genuine mistake but it’s very annoying

Same with top link pins and even top links. Leave them with the tractor they belong too. Is it really too much to ask?

Washing up bowls fire me right up, youve got a sink with a plug, if you need to wash your hands it’s in the f ing way or it gets full up with black sh it

Washing dirty hands in the kitchen sink ? That was a capitol offence when mother was here, that's what the back kitchen sink is for.

Bank help lines. Been sat here for 3/4 of hour now mostly on hold because clearly they have no idea how to solve the problem. All i'll say is if your bank resorts to using the Post Office to deposit cheques then find another bank that doesn't rely on the Post Office. Its not a secure or traceable system and nobody gives one when your cheque has gone missing.

Bolt them on and spot the bolt with the welder.

Having spent 10mins in removing a telehandler wheel. And father assuring me he'd checked the valve with some spit, to find......no puncture, and a leaking valve.

AONB project officers. These individuals aren't elected, yet they seem to call the shots in and around AONB's. No consultation with landowners about putting the 11kv lines here underground. Just one persons unilateral decision. Only found out about it by chance. I wasn't included in the preliminary feasibility study or early design process.....that's until I rang them up and asked what the heck was going on as it could have major impact on my drainage system, which they hadn't considered. Made my submissions to the design process this week which could save us all a fortune if they take any notice. Whole AONB system is discourteous and arrogant. It's as if those of us who live and work here don't matter at all, as long as the view looks nice for sacred tourism industry.
I have similar issues with the chalk streams project who want to fell trees into the downstream watercourses here to slow the flow and create habitat. What if my drains back up? No consultation whatsoever at an early stage with landowners, just a full blown planning application out of the blue telling us how it's going to be. Who exactly wants or asks for this stuff other than the project officers who have no actual skin in the game other than their own salaries for dreaming up these ideas? They have no mandate and aren't elected yet seem to have the say so on just about anything in the AONB. All wrong.

When your howling down the Mold Denbigh Road and you find yourself suddenly behind a slow moving David Brown that suddenly bears of to the right.

Never trust another man's work! (Some days I don't trust my own.......)

To be fair it probably wasn't deliberate knowing David Brown steering!

Banks need I say more, these days the only way I can get any contact is online this morning the farm checkbook ran out normally the replacement would already have landed but no, not in the drawer I can't phone them because there isn't a number so I have to go online and troll through there web site it makes me think of the prisoner I am not a number! it's getting ridiculous when all these organizations have got rid of the workers there will only be a few workers left, farming is a solitary life at the best of times by the time we have got through lockdown there won't be any pubs left any sort of social interaction is going to be very rare

Bloody Vets that waste your bloody time and leave animals in cages for extended periods of time unnecessarily through their incompetence....

Racehorses - need I say more! Well I will as there is a certain Malton trainer that waves you to slow when he’s on his way back from the gallop when you’re half a mile off. This afternoon (most go to training gallop in morning so afternoons we can get on, on the road) he is on a complete screw ball that passing two staitionary cars is going boo loo in in the middle of the road. I then have to follow on a telehandler for a good km all the way down to Norton at a crawl. No way in hell can I go past safely, so with cars behind crawled down. He could have maybe turned it round to walk back up past us to let us get on our way or at the bottom of the hill there was a gate open onto a grass field with another trainers gallop - but no he pressed on. Eventually turned down a lane at which point I hung on a bit to give him space before I went past the lane end and he is turning round in the saddle waving me to slow down. This when I purposely only went quietly away not revving the telehandler. I wished I’d shoved one of the pallet tines up the horses arse - or as the horse is a dumb animal, his arse. More seriously this horse today was not fit to be on the highway and no way safe near pedestrians or car doors for that matter.

There are other trainers, in fact most in the Malton area that are different again. We do come into contact all the time with racehorses and others horses that don’t have a race in them. Always give them plenty of space, slow right down and switch flashing beacons off - anything seems to annoy a race horse!

Next this is probably nothing new on here - Now i frequently drive tractors on the highway and try to be considerate of other faster traffic. When I can I will pull over and let traffic past even though you rarely even get a friendly wave or toot of the horn That said I did once pull over to let traffic past on A64 near Malton and a couple of young ladies went by in a car, the passenger of which waved then pulled her top down and exposed her breasts No no no wait, I’ll show you mine, but they were gone and never saw them again.

Well yesterday followed a tractor and trailer about a dozen cars back, through Stamford Bridge and all the way on to just before the York ring road by which time there was traffic as far as I could see in rear view mirror. There are opportunities to pull over but this fella pressed on regardless. No wonder folk get worked up. I was in the pickup with trailer on and found myself feeling probably embarrassed as a member of farming community. I know it’s a pain but nothing annoys car drivers more - apart from camera vans and probably cyclists and possibly racehorses All that said you do get quite a few these days that you give every opportunity to overtake when safe and they pig headedly sit on your tail until you pull over and stop.

Body: Briefly stirs an hr before alarm goes off in morning

Brain : immediately goes into overdrive processing every conceivable problem and issue the day ahead may hold.

Body: gives up trying to go back to sleep after 45mins trying and goes downstairs to watch fast n loud at 0515hrs.

Oh I so know that behaviour!

I think Fast and Loud has now come to an end though will be repeated to death on Discovery etc. No matter it’s better than the news on a morning. I did watch Rust Brothers on Amazon Prime recently. Made me laugh how one of them wandered about in Dunlop Thermo Plus wellies in summer in the workshop Then lately West Coast Customs on Netflix.

Edit - not to forget Diesel Brothers
