Mines nice but not authentic.
Too much strong cheese GromitJust woke from a great dream! About 20 of us forum members were on the piss on a bus heading to Switzerland.
We were having a great time and you were all normal looking and much younger than i expected. @wroughtironron was trying to talk me into marrying his daughter who was alot yonger than me and pretty hot!!
I woke just as we pulled up at a bar and @Char was saying she was buying everyone drinks.. char looks a bit like suzi Quattro when she had a mullet .
@Exige looks just like he did when he was the captain of the love boat..
Dont normally share my dreams as no one gives a fuck about what ya get up to in real life let alone in a dream, but it was a good one.
Oh and @Noobie wasbanging on about we should carry on to Australia coz it was only 15 mins away if the tide was right...
@The skitz was singing sea shanties .
I think perry was driving for a bit then loz took over...
I loved Lahti and the Finn's are great. To be fair I've work with them since 2002 so after 23 years I obviously don't find them objectionable
Compared to the chaos that is Vietnam, the relative calm of Finland, and the fact that things just work, the air is clean and you can actually drink the tapwater, is great.
Dont gete wrong, in enjoy Vietnam. In would have to, to still be here after 25 years, but a long break is good. In definitely look forward to returning next summer of everything goes to plan.

They're very chilled with a good outlook on life - I've only spent a couple of weeks there in total but enjoyed it.
I'd like to see Vietnam too. We deal a lot with Vietnam and our Traders go there regularly and all like it.

Yes, seeing as he was using his phone at the time...if he was driving a car he'd be inside.
^Using the phone whilst driving over a colleague is unforgivable BUT the victim must carry some of the blame for being behind the reversing handler.
I have two handlers and drive them most days, one in particular has very poor visibility due to an enormous exhaust stack - something to do with Addblue which I think is unnecessary on a farm vehicle. Working in tight buildings and up against hedges means that the mirrors are forever getting knocked out of alignment.

I see it all the time on site .. absolute gobshites walking behind telehandlers dumpers and track machines.. an absolute stupid thing to do .. I had a transit absolutely caved in on a site unloading.. the van was parked on a road and the driver had to reverse up a narrow lane .. he didn't see my van at all and hit it full tilt.. I learned if they can see a van they definitely won't see a skitz

Good stuff! I hope they have a great time.
Is the system similar to the UK about having bikes in stages up to full power?
If you are a gambler, a rag named Mordor is running in 20 minutes at York - a rank outsider at something like 80/1 (the 4-10 race )
One of those landmark occasions, periods in our lives as fathers that should be cherished. I know there are other, more important ones like the day they were born, etc, but none the less ............ nice to be a part of !The son and his 2 mates went off on their very first bike trip today.. they are doing the wild Atlantic way for the next 5 days .. it was a buzz to see the excitement as they headed off
And? Any luck?
Looks like ET beat his horse as Small Fry won
Mordor ran in the 4:10 PM Sky Bet Stayers Handicap at York Racecourse on Wednesday, 19 August 2026. Ridden by Jamie Spencer and trained by Gordon Elliott, the six-year-old gelding was sent off at 50/1 and finished 16th (tailed off) behind the winner Small Fry. [1, 2]
I think it means there won't be a glue shortage this week.
I once owned a race horse. Hateful fucking thing.
Was glad when it went.
Was glad when it went.
It was called Champagne Moment but it was more like a Special Brew Moment.
Money pits
My parents had one called ‘That’s Odd’ (a quarter share but they were the registered owner) - won fuck all. Was about as good as me at running.
And a tenth in a better one that had a couple of third places called Super Sioux
The pleasure seemed to be in visiting the stables and seeing them training.
Soon after offloading their share in That’s Odd, it fell and had ti be put down.
KP Beecroft was my business partner in one of my businesses.
He paid something like 25k for it as a youngster.
You can see by its record that it couldn’t run for toffee and it was a lunatic.
I bought it off him for 1k and my then wife tried to turn it into an event horse.
After 3 years and costing a fortune we sold it for 3k.

The 2k uplift wouldn’t cover the stable fees…but softened the blow.
My daughter had a horse - lovely looking thing and she did well with it showjumping, but cost a fortune ti keep.
Yesterday ( your fellas today) i tried to have a very easy day as my shoulder is acting up bad.
Manged to rewire the trailer as the lights were hanging off and the cable had several patches in it. A few months back i bought a new set of lights with the cable that were attached to a board, used on boat trailers etc.
Cheap as coz the board was broken, the idea was just remove them from the board and fit to trailer. What a fucken faf. Should have paid the $60 more for the correct kit but after 3 hours and a trip to town for connections i finally got there
Then i spent a leisurely afternoon sowing seeds, re-potting seedlings and planting out 1 of the gardens with shallots, rocket and lettuce. All good.
Today ( your fellas tomorrow) i woke to find it frosty as fuck out there! I doubt the seedlings will survive. Grrrrr. ..
Fucken global warming! Last 2 winters we had about 3 frosts each. Been about 8 this year. I thought they had past. The last one, 3 weeks back killed a bunch of b's plants that were on the deck under a roof and mostly enclosed by the plastic blinds. ..
It was -4 that morning. We live in the fucken winterless north ffs!!!!
Anyhu, still in bed in pain so will have a look later

Both my daughters have ridden horses since they were very young.
The youngest has a degree in horse management and has had horses all her working life. She’s just sold her latest project as she buys youngsters and brings them on.
It’s a labour of love as you said because after fees there’s no profit in it.
My eldest daughter wanted a horse, never got one, she grew up and got a dog
Much better choiceMy eldest daughter wanted a horse, never got one, she grew up and got a dog
OP
As you had only just planted the seed I wouldn't worry about 'that' frost it's the one that comes after they've germinated that will kill them.
