This is all we seem to be getting for a while. Although that cold would probably wipe 50% of the population out here lol. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shovel leaner 7,650 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I looked at the beaters having lunch on the last shoot date , the banter was brilliant. I swear if you filmed it and broadcast it it would be more entertaining than any of the sh@t on at the moment. They were talking about all the wind ups and sh@t they got up to . Kids nowadays are too interested in video games . Some of the young lads there were pissing themselves, I said make the most of this because if the weather turns cold it might be the last time you get to hear stories like this .

Arry 22,908 Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 This is more like it a cracking day. Did this road hedge today very disappointing really only four and young ones already didn't help, looks better than it was there in the hedge the other side of the road I think. Still it was a pleasure to be out there great to be alive day. Cheers Arry 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 22,908 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 This is taking the piss now never known a year as wet as this one. Feel sorry for all people flooded out and more rain to come. I know Billy Connolly said there is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing. Well f**k if I'm going out to suffer with rain running out my ass for enjoyment. I spent years in construction shovelling concret etc come home like a drowned rat but that was to earn a crust. What a crap season its been weather wise. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
