  1. Having a good chuckle reading "Pop's Magnum" thread: http://www.farmtoysf...p?topic=24222.0

    Oh pulleasseeeeeeeee don't bring that up again...Bloody swede, gave me pyles in those days.....However, my spelling has impovred since I got rid of the Sean Pullen Pox....

    Aunty Sue must have the most interesting windows in the UK.....She's always got something going on with them....

  2. I shouldn't laugh really, but I did... a man in the US called me 'a jerk' because I opened an Unpaid Item Dispute on eBay. Never been called that before and the thing is it's taken him 2 months to even notice he'd received an Unpaid Item Strike against his eBay account.... I did explain that he would have had at least two automatic reminders directly from eBay and that I only have a 45-day window to reclaim my seller fees (plus I always wait as long as possible before taking action - in this case nearly 3 weeks)

    Still chuckling though... I'm sure US citizens don't all go about calling each other names and hurling insults to complete strangers, without even considering that they could be in the wrong..do they Pops? ;)

    Oh I do that all the time, it just slips out..thinking its old age is the reason and four years of abuse by Sean....Oh course never to a lovely lady like you..... :)

  3. Being told yesterday by Costco if I took back my broken down washing machine ( less than 2 years old) and would get a full refund and I could purchase a new one for £ 299.98. In effect I will get new one for £ 18 which is a lot better than paying £ 119 for a call out and time with free parts. Washing machines don't seem to last long with me for whatever reason.

    Did you stop and say "how do" to the lady who had to replace the one orange on the last visit to Costco??? Can just see it this time: Staff "Blimey look oooos back again probably got a hollow egg when the daft bugger stopped to pick up his easter coloring set and dozen eggs". Ell, er he comes our way, probably wanting a 2p screw for that bleedin old tiller of his.....mucky ole bugger, lets hide in the back room." ;)

  4. Jamie :police: SO thats why he loves his front loader so much bless him

    Yeah right work blah blah blah what sort of excuse is that. things must have changed recently in your office...Amanda, Diane n Shaggy or whatever his name is do all the work whilst you sit locked away rubbing yourself whilst watching your slide show of brochures :-*

    Bumcrack Steve always saves the day, these rubber pants are nowhere near as good as the tight lycra I normally get prescribed ::)

    Barry how can you say it :of it's immoral, this is a family forum...looking at MF brochures.. have you no shame...it's too much ??? The Aunties would be shocked... :-

  5. Do tell, seems the Plymouth Pud is still vice presy of the Massey Boyscout troop.....never a bad word about a Massey addict.....go figure.... ;) What the ell is a "Tender Document"??? More Brit speak no doubt...... :- I know what "Tender" means...so maybe he is painting a sign called a document that says "Do handle gently, and be kind and "tender" to our brusselsprouts??? ??? How can that keep anyone off FTF ??? Lame if ya ask me...course I'm just a pencil neck yank so what should I know..... :laugh:

  6. It's just as I expected. Sooner or later there would be one too many Massey Ferguson buys and his Lordship may have crossed that line with the mower.....If there is a memorial or if his body turns up please keep me inform and do try a "Noun Verb" sentence structure when sharing with me what happened to him...Something must of happened, he's only been on once this week....Diane no doubt had much to do with it....I'm on the verge of having to give up watching Top Gear, since it makes me all weepy thinking of what could of it be....

    Note: Uncle Billy, and Wil, keep your remarks in context please, this is no time for random digs.... >:( sniff..

  7. noticing a payment taken out by model farmer mag's publishing company igp ltd at the beginning of the week by mistake, I told them of this and still have not had a refund back to my account yet, despite me giving them a few extra days to allow payment to clear, don't think I'll be re-newing my subscription when it is supposed to be re-newed in august, you ask someone to do one simple thing >:( >:(>:( >:(:angry: :angry: :angry:

    I bet a nice private pm would handle your problem...From my experience I've never seen a lot of success when I threaten or shamed someone to solve a problem...and at 66 I'm a slow learner...... :-

  8. Well another yank, with luke back we'll be taken over the place soon........ :) Welcome aboard...get a good Brit talk speak book your going to need it.. watch out for the MF virus..nasty bug....also stay clear of the anyone in Cambridge or Devon for that matter...nutters one and all...need any advice just dial Pops...oh don't mess with the Aunties either...could shorten your life..... ;)

  9. Indeed it would .. Come on mike what do you say ?

    Mileage charged of course : p

    What annoyed me.. Phone all at 3am from the London driver to say that he can't find the lorry. Quick look on the tracker and it's in a part if Cambridge that's as rough as a badgers arse. Dialled three 9's and got it recovered rather swiftly. Went to work to chek the CCTV and I've got some good footage to go on at least. Only problem is.. They thought they'd sneak through the gate after someone came in.. But it shuts instantly after the vehicle goes through.. So they simply rammed the fence and left half of the truck on the verge

    Good grief that is serious....."what's on the verge mean"?

  10. I have got a day off today so I thought that it was an ideal time to service and sharpen my lawn mower which is a Balmoral cylinder type mower.

    So, off I went to B & Q who have a large Warehouse establishment about a mile from my house. All that they stock is Rotary mower replacement blades and not the cylinder sharpener.

    Little bit peeved but there is a garden centre about another mile and a half away. So off I go to the garden centre, they only have rotary mowers and don't stock any replacement items at all.

    Well, I am out and about now so the next call is about 5 miles to a garden centre that regularly wins awards and is classed as the best in the North West.

    After 15 minutes walking round I can't see a single lawn mower so I asked a member of staff.

    His reply almost floored me. "We don't stock lawn mowers "

    Oh silly me, fancy thinking that a garden centre would stock lawn mowers :- :- people obviously don't have lawns in their gardens nowadays, there are too many plastic gnomes.........

    OK, so now I still need a mower sharpener so the only thing for it is to traipse right across town to the specialist mower supplier.

    Man behind the counter says "oh no we don't stock them, we prefer you to bring your mower in to us for us to sharpen and service it, have you tried the internet?"

    By now I have lost the will to live, I have been driving round for 2 hours, been in 4 different establishments and still not got the ruddy sharpener >:( >:(

    So I try the internet...........and the first page that comes up is Duttons Mower World............which is where I have just been........... *$£&!!!

    Mike it would been cheaper to hire someone to cut your grass or call on your MF friend with his new mower no doubt he would be happy to give it a go and pay the for the petrol on top..... ;)
