And there you go, you told me I wasn’t being nice. See where it goes wrong? 

I learnt that word from you eggs

Just now, eggsarascal said:

No, it was you. I might forget a name, but not a face. 

Evidently i do forget a face otherwise i’d probably have thought “there’s that prick from arbtalk” as you dove past.

This has turned into our own little thread, hope your enjoying it as much as I am

Exercise, I walk about 5-6 miles a day. I drove past you, end of March, early April, I’d have stopped and got breakfast, but…

ahh the plot thickens….

are you sure it wasn’t another fat bloke?

Just now, eggsarascal said:

From last I saw of you, which wasn’t as long as you think, you needed to.

that’s not very nice eggs.

Thankfully I was aware that i was getting fat as i wasn’t really climbing any more so made the effort to get off my lardy arse and change my diet, start swimming and working out again. Not only do i feel great physically it’s done wonders for my mental health.

maybe some exercise and a lifestyle change would help you? 

Just now, eggsarascal said:

Evening John, apart from being, big, fat, and ugly I hope everything is well?

less of the fat, i’ve lost two stone

I do try my best, where you are just trying. Perhaps you should buddy up with Shutler, you’d have a blast. You 

Nice to know your thinking of me eggs.

What's it like having me living rent free in your head?

Have you yet had to get a hose made by a third party as the required fitting wasn’t in your arsenal? I’ve contemplated getting a swager loads of times but keep blowing unusual hoses which then puts me off again!

kinda, the local tractor fitters (20 mins away) have got quite a comprehensive range of stuff so occasionally il pop down and get an odd fitting to make up a hose if i haven’t got one in stock and usually get half a dozen so i’ve got them if it goes again in the future.

i’ve resorted to cutting fittings out of old hoses to get myself out of the shit as well but it’s a pain to do and a don’t like doing it.

obviously you’ve got to outlay on the machine  and all the hose and fittings but once your up and running the cost of making a hose with two fittings and 1m long comes in at about £7.50

What a week all fairly mild in fairness.

 

Got to site machine wouldn't start to get it off the trailer... found a broken green corroded wire. Quick bodge for the day and back at it. 

 

Nearly bogged machine down, got out of situation to find track had come off idler, no grease gun or jack etc on site! Managed to rough arse it back on with a ratchet strap and a pick axe we found on site. 

 

Yesterday the chipper cut out on us... ALT on the screen.... quick look shredded alternator belt. Middle of a field 😂 Jase at greenmech tech sorted me some numbers out to get one sorted. Always snaps or rubs where the numbers are!  Managed to go get one from gsf in local town thankfully and back at it!

 

Makes me wonder how the hell folk get on who have to wait for someone to come out when machines break down etc must waste full days at times 

I think if you run kit you have to end up being handy on the spanners. Id never be able to afford to get someone out to do everything.

Last year I bought a swage machine and loads of hydraulic pipes and fittings so now we do all our own pipes, the time saving is massive.

Don't keep me in suspense Eggs, what's going to happen "one day"?

nice of you to join me on the “list” of people that have annoyed him on the internet 

careful he’ll get angry again 

Just now, Con said:

Never in the history of calming down, has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down 🙂

i know 🤣

Most of my machines have their own grease gun which goes out with the machine, just buy whatever cheap one the local ag place has in stock at the time. Got a Milwaukee battery one when doing machines in the yard, but as with all things they have a time and place

Ohh dear, you prick! it’s a public road, it’s people like you who think they make, not abide by the rules that feck me off.

Calm down eggs.

The last thing you need is to have a funny turn, because a man on the internet made you more angry about something you were already really furious about.

Leave me alone, and I’ll leave you alone, it’s that simple. 

ohh dear eggs, your really bent out of shape about the whole carparking thing arnt you.

why not go and park up in a lay-by instead of getting all annoyed that a charity wanted to charge you to use their car park.

13 minutes ago, eggsarascal said:

Everything is good, I’m just sick of people telling me what I can and can’t do, and wanting to charge me for everything. I see Shutler is about again, he’s another twat who wants fecking off.

ahh love you to 😘

I just fail to see the relevance of you spending nearly a couple hundred quid at other businesses and then being grumpy that a charity that hasn’t benefited of your spending “want” you to pay to park in their parking area where you want to park? 

I think that's the mentality of the "van lifers" though.

Sorry. Don't know what you're talking about. Who are you?

don’t you remember? I asked you an awkward question at the APF but you just turned round and walked off

This is a long shot, but if you don’t ask you don’t get..

 

I am first dibs to buy a used hydraulic winch for my Avant.

Now I have a mate coming over on the ferry Friday morning for a visit next weekend, he’s happy to bring it over but I have to get it to Barns Green by Thursday afternoon.

Its with a guy in Rugby Warwickshire about à 5 hour round trip.

Courrier/transport companies présent issues because of unloading and timings.

I thought maybe someone (either near the winch in Warwickshire, or near my mate in Billingshurst) with a pick up or van has a day free early next week for a jolly.

I reckon £250 should cover it.

 

Hit me up as the kids say.

 

 

I'm potentially going to melton mobrey Friday this week to pick up a robocut flail and il pretty much be going past rugby. obviously that won't work with your mate but I'm coming over to my place in the vendee on the 10th of June so could bring it over with me then

you must be bored

Dunno, I’d be a bit unhappy about people speculating about my finances on here.

 yeah it’s a bit weird

what does OF even mean? 

i think it’s hard to go back to not using comms when you’ve used them for a while. 

i think they are essential for some tasks, and i flatly refuse to do any of our roto stuff without them.

on my AAAC audits i’ve had a number of comments about how calm the sites are which IMO is down to the comms as there’s no shouting 

we’ve used sena for years but i’m not convinced they are the best solution as can be temperamental 

so did you shag her or not?
