robbo Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 My house sale has fallen through as our buyers have pulled out grrrrr. We have practically boxed up the house ready for the move that was scheduled for 6th November, I have spent over a week boxing up my collection even though a couple of wing mirrors did not survive the process. I am not going to unbox them again in case we find another buyers but, at the very least, this is going to put us back several months. I would probably just cause more damage to some rather flimsy models with my cack handedness 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, Openreach have been working outside our address this week laying fibre cables to the house, just waiting for them to be connected after which I should have superfast speeds, (just in time for me to move away) 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I seem to be getting really annoyed at the moment following on from our aborted house sale. On Saturday evening we had some of the grandchildren on a sleepover and they wanted a bath. Half way through running the bath, the water went cold so I was asked to have a look at the boiler. I opened the cupboard door to see water squirting everywhere and coming out of the sides of the boiler, not good! I called the local boiler engineers as we have a maintenance contract with them to be told that it was cream crackered and had boiled its last. As a result we now needed a new boiler which they cannot fit until Thursday, it is also going to cost me a pretty penny as well. As a result we have no heating and no hot water and then on Monday evening Mrs R was boiling the kettle to get some water for washing up when that also went POP. As a result I have had to go and buy a new kettle today, it never ends and it has left me wondering if I have run over a black cat or broken a mirror recently. If we didn't have bad luck then we wouldn't have any luck at all. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirTainly Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 The fact I'd got the bottom kingpin bushing in perfectly, but not the top, and with a free weekend I can't get the job finished as I can't get the reamer until Monday, when I'm back at work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jd6320driver Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) The phonecall I got yesterday from the man rebuilding my 7840s gearbox…. The previous rebuild done by a main dealer under warranty in the 2000s was nothing but a hatchet butcher job. It also was described as a ticking time bomb and he was surprised it had lasted as long as it had. Followed by the hedge cutter throwing a branch into the diesel tank on my 6320 bursting it yesterday afternoon.

phil phoenix Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 JOHN DEERE have gone "woke"!! Personally I despise this lefty marxist bullsh1t, it's getting ridiculous. I am tolerant to other's freedom's to be who they want to be and living their live's accordingly, but don't force it on the rest of us.

phil phoenix Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) A JD customer's response, “Nothing runs like a Deere.” You just Ran @JohnDeere into the ground. Congratulations. You and your woke anti-American company can go **** yourselves! #BoycottJohnDeere BOUGHT 60 DAYS AGO, SOLD IT 2 WEEKS AGO! WONT EVER BUY ONE AGAIN! EVER!

robbo Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Okay, so some people are going to call me pedantic but, there is something that really gets my goat and I don't really know why. It is a word that tends to get used regularly when it refers to tractors and their wheel systems and one I have seen on Facebook this morning. Duel = a fight to the death between 2 parties, think pistols at dawn on Hampstead Heath, that sort of thing. Dual = two of - twin wheels or twin anything for that matter. As I have said, I will no doubt get some flak for calling this out but, having a mother who was an English language teacher coloured my perception, just don't get me started on the other common mistakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I tried to find an image of a tractor on duels on a duel carriageway!! *I purposefully used the incorrect duel/dual! *yes, it's a motorway and not a dual-carriageway! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
