Interesting, I've had glandular fever since, some dose, must look into that. Had that and chickenpox the same year when I was 25.

Is that just if you spend a certain amount of time over there or is it to do with something else altogether ?
I was in Nairobi but I wasnt serving anyone !

Ah for flip sake jersey come on back there ll be no one left soon.I was full sure we were going to lose delavel during outdoor cubicle skirmish but in fairness he played exceptionally well but others just seem to go at the first belt, I like to think there is some sort of community here but lately I dont know but then maybe its just being reborn.rancher too deserves an honourable mention for staying the course, he takes some hits

I've only very recently started posting, but I've been following farming and forestry for a while. Was v disappointed to see Jersey shutting his acc, will def miss his input. Plus he started a lot of interesting posts. Hopefully he'll return in time. Maybe it's because of the amount of time it takes up, farming and forestry can become v addictive!
