JC Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 A farmer. Please please all of you take note when using loaders. A farmer pulled out of a gateway last night in the dark with his loader down at car level with a bucket attached. A motorcylist was in collision with the bucket and died instantly. The motorcylist was my friend. :'( My brother had a close shave with a bale spike a fw years ago and a guy was killed hitting a loader at the end of Traci's road in the summer. Keep your loaders raised when pulling out into traffic. Thats sad news Tris, I lost a good friend of mine to a hedge trimmer tractor a few years ago...... I doubt i would have been cursing him for being late had I known what had happened to him...... [ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 It makes me angry more than anything, rta's seem like such a rubbish way to cop it. They can always be avoided in most cases. I used to take the spike out of the frame and slide down one of the tubular cross members in the loader frame. I can't understand anyone that thinks pulling out with 6ft stuck out in the road is ok, day or night. It didn't have to be a motorbike, it could have been a car, a lorry. Whatever, something is going to hit it one day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 He's pretty shaken Luke... the Corporation of London have CCTV everywhere in the market... and their own Police force on site (believe it or not)... so we are hopeful they may get something to go on... SOCCO are here at work now taking samples from the seat in the hope that he may have left a hair or something behind.. Even at 2.30am... the market is heaving with people.. so someone should come up trumps with who he was - It has one way in and one way out as well \ Yeah, all that bloody fuss for ?140.00, I thought you paid your staff better than that Marky, If I had known I wouldn't have bothered..... : : I hope they don't find any of your secretaries hairs on that seat Marky! ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Well more heard than seen today... 2.31am this morning... my driver is in my truck at Spitalsfield Market in London... a hoody little ***** jumps in the cab... points a gun at him and makes him drive to the cash point around the corner and empty his bank account... then he makes him drive all around London... jumps out at the lights and runs off I was in Edmonton last night Marky. .. .. and wearing a hoody. .. .. . Oooh I could get a right cob on now. .. . Thieves of any kind bug me in all. Who gives someone the right to smash your car window and nick your cd's, break into your house and steel your wordly posessions, stck a barrel in your face and order you to do what they want? If I could never be wrong I'd be a vigilante mate I really would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could never be wrong I'd be a vigilante mate I really would. Not worth it, trust me I know! One of my dads neighbours has taken up the role now, she rammed two 15 year olds against a wall last week in her car, end result four broken legs and the possibility of her being done for attempted murder!!

richo Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Two things today, the mess my hair was in after getting expanding foam in it! Was using it to seal the gap round the piece of wood that i had fixed in the chimney to stop the draught as the fireplace is never used. Water makes the foam set and white spirit had no effect, was not happy! luckily after 20 mins or so the stuff was hard and with some effort could be pulled out. An hour later after a lot of hair pulling i look normal again! The other thing is my finger nail hanginig on by a tiny peice of skin now after bashing it a couple of weeks ago!

Oooo makes my toes curl just thinking about it.. I once hit my thumb with a hammer... and a mate told me to heat a pin up red hot and stick it in my nail... which I did... hurt like hell for about 1 second... but MAN you should have seen the blood squirt out... it is well under pressure when it goes black :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Doing an oil change on my tractor, firstly the oil misses the drain can and i get instant slick on the workshop floor, second i drop the drain plug in the drain can, third- oh sh!t, the can isn't big enough and voila more flooding of the workshop floor due to plug being in bottom of can and me not being able to get a 2nd can quick enough, then i find out that we have run out of spill granules both in the workshop and the farm supplies side of the firm and finally the filter gasket breaks up and have to try and find a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
