Hi Buzzer,
Is there still the mad rush Christmas time when companies would send trucks, empty to Spain to bring all the sats, and oranges back for the Christmas markets and the meat men would want men over Christmas to stay in RUNGIS PARIS, to look after the fridges , one man i think his name was BOB EVERHARD FROM Tewkesbury way ,he would look after a few at a time, has all that finished would you know.

Hi all. that Davies truck is looking very lonely parked there.
Frogs are on strike
En Greve or In Sciopero don’t you just miss the good old day’s as long as there is a bar close by. Give me a shout when i can move. 
Never understand why some farmers seem to let equipment rot away outside. This slurry tanker is still in use but left outside
even though there is a huge barn that is about 50% empty. 
Better looking one.
Hi Wrighty, was that you lurking about in the dark and wet night (Thursday), in my corner of Scotland with what looked like from what I could see was concrete panels, you were at a b road junction with farmers waving arms to get passed ,so thought I better not add to mayhem as traffic about, but would have liked to have the craic, there will be another time.
Can anyone tell me why I have the (edit) sign on my posts when no one else seems too.
Merry Xmas or a Baaaa humbug. Bobs

It wasn’t me I only do Mon, Tues, Wed, gone into semi-retirement, three days driving and four days farming so still keeping busy.
Cheers Wrighty.
Dean not good to leave what once was an expensive bit of kit out I all weathers, I cant get everything inside me water bowsers and a roller are two I cant get covered.
Wrighty since old Balders left the Emerald Isle and emigrated to the South of France to live it aint stopped raining, saw him tuther day at a funeral and he said he had to leave as he was starting to go rusty 
.
On the farming front going to peruse some angus Stirks on Saturday so if we agree on the wonga we may have an increase, 12 SS home bred Angus just the way I like to buy them if I can, we shall see.
Any ways its that time of the year when we wish each other seasonal greetings so to all who look in on here or post have a good one even though I am a bit of a Humbug really, cheers Buzzer.

As you say it’s that time of year, so i’ll take this opportunity to wish all the contributors and viewers of this thread a Happy Christmas and a prosperous 2020. Roll on January when we can get back normality, good do if you can get them Angus bagged for Christmas.
Cheers Wrighty.
Hi Wrighty, must be the dementia starting, as this is Thursday it must have been Wednesday, late afternoon Humbie area. Cheers Bobs
Was very good to see you there JD , and the family as well… you and Gill looking very well…
James and Steven also…
Excellent to shake Scorey P’s hand and see he’s still going, a mentor of mine ( and many others ) way back when
You’re right about the Kerry rain… there’s a reason the grass is so green over there…

If you’re logged in, the ‘quote’ tab means that you can click on that post and quote it before your own post. You will only get the ‘edit’ tab on your own posts because you are the only one allowed to edit them (apart from Moderators).
Can only think you’re clicking twice on the ‘submit’ button to double post.

Hey up Wrighty and all just to let you know that today I was out of bed early (that is for me anyway) and off to Malmesbury in Wiltshire to try and buy 12 more Angus suckler’s and I have to report I was successful after a brief barter, the husband wanted them gone but the wife wanted the money and in the end we agreed terms, they had no commission to pay like they would had they gone to market so I reminded them of this several times as you do and In the end we loaded them up and were homeward bound.
Took about two hours both ways as I elected to go up to Newbury and along the M4 as it was bucketing down once again and it is a little further but not a lot of gear changes which is good especially with livestock on board, got home and the little tikes would not come out the truck but in the end we coaxed em down the tailboard and they join the other 8 in the barn. Only trouble is they are hollering a bit as they have come straight off there mums but that usually only lasts for a couple of days at most then they will settle and as usual I forgot to take any pics of the operation but will do later, cheers Buzzer.
Last two back in a wet & windy Tracy Island and off on R&R for a well deserved break, have always said any transport company only as good as the pilots, hard to get good men nowadays how things have changed, Buzzer.
Hi Buzzer
Good to hear you getting barn filled with more stirk’s, and staying with the Angus breed, if all black will look nice come turn out, also give you something to get up for come Wed morning. Not so much rain up here as you have had, but still enough as odd spud field still to lift.
Hi John West,
Thanks for your help in trying and understand the working of the form a bit better, I didn’t know about the “edit” only visible to me, and then disappears after 2-3 days, and ok I get the “quote” also now. Thanks Bobs
Sheepman (Bobs) the hollering of the new stock is now beginning to wain as they have been here now a couple of days and some have got sore throats but in the end they will realize that there mums are not within earshot anymore. They are a tad smaller than the first ones I bought but they are slightly younger but pleased with them anyway. Don’t know if I will keep the five heifers yet will have to see what else comes on the horizon for me to add.
Trust you are relaxing over the festive period the coming of the new year being your big celebration of course, the egg sales rush here has wound down now with only a couple of customers collecting today but it has been manic over the last week but I have met the demand of most customers going away happy.
The days are getting longer from now on in so I know me and Wrighty are liking that as when you have stock inside the Winter can certainly drag on a bit and we both cant wait till we can turn all the stock out to grass in the spring.
Was good to meet up with both you and Wrighty during this last year the only one I missed was Punch Dan but maybe this year, cheers Buzzer

Morning dean, B****y laziness, probably mixed with age and reversing ability, ha !! when I was a kid you knew where all the equipment was by the height of the stinging nettles.
