    In from feeding silage, like a drowned rat. And I stink to high heaven cos I was trying to fix a gutter. Ended up the entire contents of the gutter ended up insde the oilskins, sops of sh1t and all. Herself made me strip down to the jocks in the utility room. Turned her back, and said while walking away " don't leave those fu5king clothes on the floor either". WHERE HAS THE ROMANCE GONE?

    Don't be projecting your own tastes onto me :-)

    Let the record show that my favorite film is 'The life of Brian' , The Field and The outlaw Josey Wales would be up there too.
    Now that I think of it, both Brian and Chief Dan George got their wicked way. Jaysus, even Tadhg did!

    '93 & '94 were fairy awful. '85 & '86 kinda ran into each other as well. Just from memory. '97 was fairly spectacular also, very like last year great start. We had silage cut before 10th May. I saw guys getting fried at a farm walk around then as well but it all went curly before the 20th May and didn't improve until nearing summer '98.

    Rough here this am. I'm in to get ready for work, was only out for 45 mins and look like I was dragged through a dip tub.

    Been pelting sleet and rain here all night, with a wicked wind.
    It would cut the flesh of your face no matter which way you faced.

    Shocking to see floods back in fields so quickly. We have a river running across one of our drier fields after the night.

    tell me about it, last bit of ground that needs slurry is accessed through a so called dry field which is currently in gutter and it only started raining here at 10 o clock last night:mad:

    is the fcuking pub open, look good beside an open fire in some dingy pub with a pint of guinness and the farmers journal;)
