    He should give em two keys, they will have some job finding the ignition to fit them. Bit like Cinderela and the shoe.

    Dog here has really gotten unfit.
    Used to be able to catch rabbits goodo and turn hares and catch squirrels too.
    Today a rabbit was sitting in the field and ran across the field and even knocked himself out off a stake and he didn't catch him.
    Very disapointed

    what a flippen day today. Was at work, in a meeting, came out 9 missed calls. Wife decided to climb ladder to put a net on basket ball hoop and fell off it. 10ft up, landed on her head/shoulder. Ambulance called and off to hospital. Very lucky nothing broken but loads of tissue damage and liagments. Kids nearly died with shock. Thanks to neighbours and family. I'l kill her tomorrow.

    Thankfully it wasnt too serious . I like your style though , "I'll kill her tomorrow " - bit like Brendan Grace " don't come running to me when you break your two legs " :D

    Friggin' Google maps and Google Earth, you could plot you way out any man's land/pass/yard.
    Plus all those "boyos" calling about gates/pressure washing/painting, save your location on the sat-nav. and anyone can go straight to your yard.

    PS Who on here has read the Forum Rules, and removes any sat nav. co-ordinates encoded in photos before up loading?

    That was a close one and could have been a disaster. I assume it was concrete or tar she fell on. Some bang to get. Horrid fright for the kids too. I hope she has a speedy recovery!

    I'm just happy she is ok, but I will have a proper word with her over the next few days. I'm always cautious with ladders/heights due to a few nears misses in my youth.

    Could not fault the hospital or staff but alot of people on trolleys. The only funny part of it all was at the traffic lights as she is very bruised, I was getting alot of funny looks!!!

    Arnica cream will help speed up the process of bruises healing. She is very lucky it's not more serious. I always have a couple of tubes of it around the place. My own father had a near miss, 20ft ladder slipped when spraying the hayshed roof, always been wary of them since.

    Tell me about it. Yeah on tarmac. Youngest lad got biggest shock. The two older ones were stars. We are very lucky as we have great family and neighbours close by.
    Thanks everyone.

    The night goes quicker when your asleep, it's a long night when you're tossing and turning. Just shows your sleeping well!!

    What kind of dairy farmer uses an alarm clock ! The old lad woke me every morning at quarter to six with a shout outside the window and I still wake at that time now .
    Its funny now when he rings in the early hours if there's a cow calfing or something wrong "are you at home " is the first thing he says . WTF else would I be at this hour like !
