    My good deed is done for the day, went herding a 6 and spotted a sheep on her back belonging to a fella bounding us who is in hospital at the moment with a grey crow circling her.

    Went to bed at 1 and was still awake and buzzing at half five. Was saying to myself if I didn't look at them then they wouldn't be seen for the day!

    As said good neighbours are hard to beat. And you have photographic proof. Ya should be a solicitor.
    Remember reading about lad doing law in college that asked to mow lawn for his neighbours while they were on holiday for a few weeks. When they came back the job had been except for a small square in the middle of the lawn. When asked why he didn't mow that bit he said he wanted them to see what the whole lawn would of looked like if he had done nothing. The cute h**r

    normally end up cursing when rolling out drainage pipe as it gets messed up, we put the roll on the prong of the bale carrier on front of digger and just pulled the end, 2 rolls out in 15 minutes and down in drain, this was 6inch wihich is probably handier than smaller stuff. Guy who was doing drinage here last year had a dolly type thing that you sit the roll on and it turns as you pull the end, oh filling in the drain now

    its a fooker if the roll of barbed moves on the bar, gets dropped fairly quick:)

    I came up with the idea of putting the crow bar and put it trough a roll of wire and the put the two side in the balls of tractor lift arms when me and the father were fencing,worked the best.

    If you lie the drainage pipe on its side. Grab the end on the inside and when it's down at the bottom. Tie sum twine around the end and put the twine around your tow bar. Drive slowly and it will unravel perfect and won't kink. The twine allows the pipe to twist & turn while unraveling. You have to grab the pipe inside and down or it won't unravel correctly.
