Massey Boys Mum

Be careful Marky - I have been told that a conundrum will not offer you full protection ....yours helpfully, Aunty Jo

Well I can't believe it's him, very disappointing indeed, what an anti-climax. I reckon it's someone pretending to be him.

Oh Marky you are so easily bought. However, if it was an MF bow tie then I could understand it ...

Well there's a code there that we are all missing I am sure ....

Sometimes life just gets in the way!....see you in a few weeks - hope you are all well now?

Fair trade chocolate frogs - boxed

It seems really early doesn't it Bill - they were covering the rows with plastic in case of late frosts. Shows the difference between one end of the country and another. I hope he puts the pictures up tonight - I thought they were really good. And so much equipment and man power in one field, on a Sunday too!

So I deduce - you like Masseys? You could be: Female or Shaun the Sheep or (my preferred option) An Alien from outerspace! Or,I forgot, on some kind heavy weed man ...

Happy Birthday Marcus - best wishes from Jo & Cerin. Fourty is naughty!

Completely agree with you Marky. He did not respond to your 'Dig & Doug' post did he? Forums are good in this way - you don't have to say anything except what you want to say. Do you know, I am completely guilty here, I did not think of Al being a woman! That's crazy because one of my bestest female friends was a girl called Al, sadly lost her to ovarian cancer in 2007.

It's nice to be agreeing with you about something James! Even I have come clean on this forum about what colour tractors I prefer .... it just makes people feel a little more comfortable I think? We will have to wait and see if Big Al comes out of the closet soon ...!

Cerin wanted to go and take photos of his friends potato planting way down in West Cornwall - so we dropped him at a remote field location. It was so picturesque - loads of machinery with the romantic island of St Michaels Mount in the background. We went for a walk at nearby Praa Sands - it was fab, and then picked Cerin up from the same field three hours later! I am sure he will be posting these pictures up soon!

For some reason I find your thoughts unsettling. I really would like to know a bit more about you Big Al.... \

What? in Marky's trousers?

This one needs a caption Rick! What about: You can tell a true cowboy by the type of horse that he rides.

What is 'our own country'? Where would we be without the rest of the world? I think it's sad that you have such xenophobic views the pair of you. :'( I think I have to stop posting in this thread now because it's just encouraging you to get worse.

So sorry to hear your news - what a lovely quote, perhaps it will help to comfort you all.

Thanks Simon. Thanks for sharing your views. I was upset that you told me your two hates. I wanted to guess but I could not resist scrolling down ..... I am appalled that you do not share my interest in the reality of Big Al though?!!! I think he could be either: a)Kevin Keegan Gordon Brown c) Rick What do you reckon? Got to go to bed and wake up refreshed for work, so good-night. PS My kids come first but I want them to think about stuff. PPS Religion is based on good ideas - so, lets save that debate for another day!

Simon - first of all I must just say that the opportunity to have freedom of speech is something precious. You and I both have that and thank god eh? And, we can talk in this way because we both have something in common which is a good place to start (I have not forgotten that this is a love of the land, or farming related things - just in case anyone else is following this thread!) I have never agreed with fox hunting. I hate it. And, I feel that I am informed enough to make a rational decision on this having followed the hunt for many years. My reasons are for another topic maybe. However, I too had a real dilemma when it was banned. I had to search my soul, but my conclusion was that the ban was heavy handed and inappropriate. Many things should be banned perhaps, but this decision was not reasonable. What I find so difficult about your argument is that you put people into categories with no basis. We must always have compassion and just because I say that does not make me weak. I too support local enterprise. Ask anyone who knows me. I will try to make informed decisions about buying goods or services if I can. And, I do remember living under a conservative government. My council tax (then called poll tax) trebling overnight with no warning. We had no means to pay this and it meant a court appearance for me, with little understanding from the authorities of the stress this caused to my family. Socialism is not perfect but it has given us positives as well as negatives. Where you and I agree is that we can all make a difference. Where we disagree, is that I am not prepared to accept that we can stand back and let people starve because of our own greed. Where on earth do you draw the line between who you will help and who you will not? Obviously the biggest question still remains: who exactly is Big Al, how old is he and where does he live? We don't even know what tractors he likes.

Simon - you are entitled to your opinions but I think it's very wrong to refer to people that you judge to be in disagreement with yourself as 'morons'. One of the problems is that people feel that their vote doesn't count for much in this country - and one of the results of this can be apathy, because folks feel powerless. Going back in time, we have always traded with other countries, and treating people fairly and with respect, whoever they are, should underpin all of our trade. That's the only thing that gives us the right to take the moral highground.

Topless tanned hunks with good muscle definition driving Masseys. Simple but effective.

I have just noticed that our forum censor, who must be awake 24/7, has changed Cock Pheasant to Willy Pheasant!!!! ;D That is sooooooo funny.

Happy Birthday you young cod! We are never bored by you, our Lord! Massive Massey wishes from Jo & Cerin x

Quite right Sue - I never said fat! And Simon, this is not a personal attack - it's a chat about an interesting subject! And my question remains - Big Al, do you have your own business?

ooops! my english is worse than my german!
