robbo Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 A shed load from a lorry at junction 20 of the M6 at Lymm. The load consisted of crates of chickens on their way to slaughter and when 2 of the cages fell off there were live chickens running around the junction........followed by bobbies in body armour trying, and failing, to catch them.......it was like a scene from "Chicken Run" :laugh: :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hearing how my boss managed to break the glass in the bottom section of our JCB's door.....he had it open and caught it on a staunchion in the cow shed bending the hinges in the process. He then proceeded to try to straighten the hinges out by hitting them with a sledge hammer only he missed the hinge and hit the glass instead..... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I usually drive it with the top half of the door open but the bottom half just doesn't make sense. The straightening effort hasn't helped either as it now doesn't shut right and is bending the latch again. It's the second bottom glass he's done in it, I'd like to see how it goes down on the insurance claim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 A pony in one of the paddocks. It had a plastic bucket and was throwing it in the air, racing around the paddock with it in his mouth or dribbling it along the ground using its nose. The latter seemed the favourite game as it made a lovely noise as it travelled over the grass! The other horses were fascinated by the antics of their neighbour and so were my dogs (and me) Previously it had a space hopper that it would carry and throw around.

Fenside MF Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 a statement from the cabinet office minister on the news today and then the prime minister backing him, as said "there is no need to panic buy fuel but fill up a jerry can if you have one" Talk about contradict yourself,how laughable this coalition government are and the people queuing to buy fuel today.

Lord Ferguson Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Well what made me smile more than laugh today... Business really... goes like this Mate hires the digger today.. lubbly jubbly... income stream here Mate asks if he can tip the topsoil he's digging off in my bay at work.. He's working for a regular customer who wants his topsoil removed and some new stuff put in it's place afterwards.... I agree.... FREE... but favour owed here... Topsoil arrives... nice stuff.. so I load it up in my trailer and take it down the farm... then run it over my grader with some Peat stuff that I've been grading recently... as it comes off the grader I load it back on my trailer and take it back to the yard. Mate who hired the digger asks if he can buy about £200 worth of it on Monday to replace what came out ;D .. I had to laugh as the chap is actually going to get his soil back again... only mixed with some lovely peaty stuff and I'm going to get money in my 'sky-rocket' ... Made me smile anyway.

Lady Ferguson Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 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?
