  2. A dairy farmer near me also deals in maize silage, selling it to other farms in Cheshire. He has a big Valtra and an absolutely massive tri-axle silage trailer that he carts it about in. I have had it on good authority that he is regularly running around at over 60 tonnes gross(!!!).

  4. A man came home from work one day to find his wife sitting on the front porch with her bags packed. He asked her where she was going. She replied: “I’m going to Las Vegas”. He questioned her as to why. “I just found out that I can make £500 a night doing what I give you for free”. He pondered that then went into the house and packed his bags and returned to the porch. “And just where do you think you’re going?” “I’m going with you!” he replied. “Why?” she asked. “I want to see how you are going to live on £1,000 a year!”

    Here’s another hedge but had too burn as I went a lot of dead thorn in underneath this one with Barb wire grown in
  6. An electrical engineering exam. The professor screws the student. - All right, last question for 3: How many light bulbs are there in the classroom? The student looks up, counts: - Eight! - Wrong, I have one with me, in my pocket. See you at the retake. Retake. The professor knocks out the same student again. - Last question for 3: How many light bulbs are there in the classroom? - Nine! - Wrong, I didn't get a light bulb today! - But I did!
  7. Buy one and do it then if it’s what you want. You only live once.

  9. Three men - aged 25, 35 and 45 - had applied to work for the FBI. They'd all passed the previous tests, and now it was time for the final test. All three men were sitting in a hallway with their wives, waiting to be invited into the test room. It wasn't long until the 25-year-old man was invited in. An FBI agent instructed the man to sit down, gave him a gun and said to him: "Go shoot your wife." The man immediately stood back up, practically screaming: "Absolutely not! I love my wife - besides, she's pregnant with our first child! I don't want this job so badly as to kill her for it!" And he stormed out of the room. Then, the 35-year-old man was invited in. He too was instructed by the agent to go shoot his wife. The man, sitting at the table, looked at the gun with a contemplative face for a moment, but ultimately lifted his head and said: "I'm sorry, I can't. I love her too much to be able to kill her for this job." And so, the man walked out of the room. Finally, it was the 45-year-old man's turn. The agent put the gun on the table in front of the man and said: "Go shoot your wife." With an eagerness he hadn't felt in ages, the man immediately grabbed the gun and walked out to the hallway, closing the door behind him. A few minutes passed, during which a horrible racket could be heard from the hallway, and the 45-year old man returned with blood all over his clothes. Upon his return, the FBI agent asked the man: "What the hell took you so long? And why are you covered in blood?" The 45-year-old man answered: "Yeah, sorry. Had to beat her to death with a chair because some asshole put a blank into the gun."

    Thanks I always cut out most of the bigger stuff and wind in the smaller trees and whips
  11. Tick tock. Doomsday Clock 2026: Scientists set new time | CNN EDITION.CNN.COM The new Doomsday Clock time has been set by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Here’s what it means. Tick tock.
  12. Well, there's the obvious Investment Banker, (W for B). If I've understood the game correctly.
  13. Second video shows it working on one cylinder and the other not firing and fuel spurting? I'd say the high pressure connection between the fuel rail and the injector has come adrift in the manifold assuming it is at all like a car.
  14. I always fancied swapping out the R for a W on one of those, tyre extinguishers style, just for kicks. It works with two others as well, Thunder (C for T) and Warrior (a for o, sort of). Anyone got any more?

    I am on a bit of hedge laying at the moment, only a few hundred meters to do, couple of fences grown in as well for good measures, nice and rusty, perfectly camouflaged, to take the edge of your saw!

    Jokes???

    I went to an auction and bought a Van Gogh coffee table. I know it's genuine, there's a bit of veneer missing.

  22. That’s a very tidy bit of fencing👍
  23. And the Prosperity Institute, any thoughts on that? I’d rather the people running our country behind the scenes be a little more transparent, and at least resident in the UK. And certainly not have a Putin taint. We weren’t talking about Musk specifically, but yes, he’s definitely one of @Oldfeller 's invisible players. Even you will have a hard job defending anything that man does. (Starlink aside). The argument that he is OK because he is providing something that many people are willing to pay for doesn’t stack up. So are the Venezuelan drug traffickers, the writers of social media algorithms aimed at children and junk food pushers. It’s naïve to consider him to be even slightly altruistic. He does very well, at the expense of everyone else. “Tens of thousands of well-paid jobs” – are you sure? From what I’ve seen his employees don’t tend to be a happy and contented bunch. He works them to the bone. His car plants are nowhere near the safety standards met by all the other automotive OEMs either, nor the vehicles they make. And Grok, surely nobody has anything good to say about that abomination. Other than the cognitively challenged who can't form a coherent argument. Outsourcing thought to it is not going to end well. We're all being played. Regardless of political ideology. You will have noticed that political divisions are getting wider and deeper all the time; think about who's driving that.
  24. I always start with a job sheet. I list everything pertaining to that particular job from address, grid reference, what three words, equipment etc, id of ambulance rv and Heli LS, nearest A & E hospital, minor injury. Job itself. Saws and equipment etc, you get my drift, I could go on but wont bore you? I have a standard pre printed headings list. For the method statement I extract info from job sheet. For Risk Assessment I extract info from method statement. Lots of repetition all the way through?
  25. Often see big stuff like that. These modern things are similar to driving a car with all the technology, but the thing that gets me is how young you can drive them. Easy to drive but easy to get into bother really quickly. Usually ours is in and around Edinburgh and it's tiring, you never switch off. I'm reminded of kevinjohnsonmbe posting his video of meeting a youngster in one down a lane!
  26. Many, many years ago, my bank pestered me to change my free personal account to one with a monthly fee, but which would give me in return, travel insurance, breakdown cover, etc. Eventually, I gave in, and switched. Only when I needed the vehicle assistance did I find out that commercial vehicles were excluded. Grrr. 🤬
  27. The efi engine has fuel injection so no carb to have problems with. No other experience from me I’m afraid 👍
