Fecking timing belt just snapped on the jeep. It would happen on a Sunday, where in the name of God am I going to get one today. Trapped on out farm not.

How did it happen without wrecking the engine. It happened once here in a second hand car and it done about two grands damage to the engine, luckily it was within a six mth warranty

I have no idea. I had just dropped herself and the small to the shops and went to the yard.first I saw the battery light on and then saw the temperature high. Pulled up and popped the bonnet and there the belt was broken clean in 2.
I have no idea what kind of damage I've done yet. But it did seem to be driving fine till I pulled up.

Panic somewhat over twas the fan belt I was looking at. That'll tell you how mechanicallyminded I am. The timing belt warning light coming on in the dash must have been triggered by milage and some coincidence to the fan belt giving way.

Is it an Isuzu you are driving?

Vegan rugby players. Hmm I wonder. There's a couple near me vegetarian and they look miserable. Always a pale anaemic complexion.

Seems factually correct, for snatch calving, once you strip away the sentimentality and anthropomorphism.

'I could no longer participate in that. Can you?'

Yes, is my answer. I've squared away the ethics of it years ago. Some people obviously haven't. It just goes to show the disconnect that exists, which started with the industrial revolution.

The other side of my living with the reality that we eat meat and drink milk is that animal welfare is real and not just paid lip-service.

It's a balance, I imagine, we've all made subconsciously or not.

i wonder would the vegetable lads get pissed if there was a rival campaign along the lines of
'would you pick your food off the floor?'

Muckit · 12-02-2017 08:20PM

All those earthworms etc mulched up with powerharrows, stonepickers and veg harvesters?! A lot of these campaigns stem from an ignorance and a skewing of the facts.

Water John · 12-02-2017 08:49PM

They'll get really excited at the farmer on ETTG, knocking off the male calves that have no value.

pedigree 6 · 12-02-2017 09:16PM

I was wondering where they got the thing about cows living to 25 years old.

Then I found it.
https://animalcorner.co.uk/animals/cows/

I think an average of 6 years may have been mentioned in a reply on here to a poster.

These people live on the internet and get their info from the net and all their concept of a farm comes from the media and the net.

Be careful what you post it could be taken up the wrong way.

There's a war going on atm the moment. A war of ignorance and a war of hearts not minds.

We look after our stock to the best or else we wouldn't be in business.
But to people who put ads in the paper like that we are the enemy and are always wrong.

I wish I could post this better and in a more eloquent way like Kowtow could.
But just be careful folks.

Two weeks bar the odd night, was after 3am when I got to sleep and alarm was off before seven. I find it usually lasts a few weeks and then goes away for a while.

I know before i finished niggtns I did loose the run of things, I was taking Anything drowsy to get me three hours sleep during the day and then overnight drinking a lot of coffee, maybe 10-12 mugs. I thought things would settle but still get bouts of insomnia, doc said it may never pass.
