JoshParkinson Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Vodafone. My new phone arrived today, and it was in red. I specifically ordered blue and they said at the time that was fine. So anyway we rang up preferably to arrange an exchange (ooh that rhymed!) and they said they didn't have the blue in stock, so rather than saying sorry, we don't have that phone in stock when we first ordered it they decided they would just send me a red one and hope i wouldn't say anything, nice one.

Gav836 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Unsurprisingly our student, he seems incapable of driving beside the potato harvester unaided, I spend 75% of my time watching him and altering the discharge elevator on his loads as he can't keep to a straight line and is weaving all over the place, one minute hard against the elevator and the next I can hardly reach him. The other chap is getting tired of him too now as he's just standing around not helping in the yard despite being shown numerous times. Words are being had with the boss tomorrow as things just can't carry on like this in the current conditions with the speed we're lifting at, volume of crop and quantity of top and stones at times, I've got enough to contend with with the harvester let alone loading someones trailer for them.

JoshParkinson Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Has this lad actually ever done any farm work before or is he just naturally useless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Well apparently he has helped out somewhere before, what doing I'm not sure but at the moment he's heading mach 1 towards being used as a device to test the bruising abilities of my spud harvester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Its the moving up and changing over of the bulkers he just stands by and watches without attempting to help with, I have shown him how to use a brush.........that was before I threatened to insert it somewhere bristle end first and without vaseline if he didn't buck his ideas up a few weeks back ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 the cd player was just a cheap one, it was only taken to make it look like a theft, i think its a act of vandilism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

and2go Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 seeing job adverts looking for "JUNIOR" IT folk that need at least 3 years experience.... and then have the decency to rattle of stuff they want that would more than likely take 10 years to learn There was another more positive one. <paraphrase> IT job ****no experience****. Get a start in this lucrative industry and get training. We need you urgently as there is a shortage of people in the industry.</paraphrase> dont know if its just me but there are a few things wrong with this. You are encouraging complete (no offence to anyone doing this) numpties in to an already crowded industry where companies are getting shot of the IT because theres nothing to show for the monies spent, Those of us who have been training for the last 5 years (school/college/uni) or so cant get a look in unless we are willing to drop life as we know it and move elsewhere to risk of being disposed of a short time later and the "shortage" is mostly caused by the idiots in the first part of this post. Sorry folk rant over... away back in my box now and Andy, since when did your patch start turning in to crime central?? last I heard it was a quiet place Dunno about you Sue but doesn't that make the "3 things" rule apply so nothing should go wrong now (well for a while ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Is it one of those days where you wonder why you even got up, Sue? One of those months - I was told last week that I am losing the sight in the one eye I have left. It can be treated but trying to get transport to Southampton Hospital is proving to be a nightmare - I am not eligable for the hospital car service because I am not disabled or elderly (and I am a senior citizen). I am not a happy bunny at all at this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshParkinson Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Realising i'm going to get moaned at in the morning as the English teacher set us homework on 'Of Mice And Men' and it required us to get quotes from the book, without giving us copies of the book, and then i've got a controlled assessment the week after Spalding on this book which is basically the new version of coursework but in exam conditions so not only am i going to have John Deeres on my mind but i will also have my English teacher looking... Up at me (she's rather short) moaning at me because i haven't done all the work she set... Nice. I'm off to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 it could be sean,trouble is when you email to artisan,you cant attach an image,so it would be trying to describe the part in english to a french company,and the instructions say that the 2 bars coming from behind the linkage are stiffining bars,i bet somebody on here will know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 the 2 underside bars would hold for say show?? but if a implement was on it would want to pull downwards of the bond point, that bit fitted inot the front area glued to the back of the linkage would substantially add strenght Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
