robbo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 That's awful Bob, but it's easy to become complacent when you are around the animals day in and day out and then forget just how dangerous they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah your spot on Mike it wasnt nice news on a Sunday morning Not good news Robert but I can see you and your dad must be very good neighbours. Ah Bill thats one thing we all get on with each other here and help when in need we have great neighbours and the pulled us out when our hill was on fire and nearly burned our yard. It's very sad, especially to die doing something in this he has probably done for nigh on 60 years and loved it too, Bob. What a tragic shame yeah he had been born on the family farm and worked all his days on it the man even had his suit on under his boiler suit as he was heading to church all he was doing was pushing up the last of the cows to get milked. we will have to help out all week or so to ease the work load as his son george will have to get things ready for his funeral ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) I say most of us are the same as you mate - i i spent years working in farming but dont mean i can do the deed-- on the other hand me brother is better with his hand / gun when he needs to help them on there way -- if an animal has to go then it should be fast & clean Edited April 29, 2013 by 590mf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Without Sir Alex, it has made it a level playing field!! The next manager has got some big shoes to fill. No, not worried, a little sad as he's been the manager since I was 11, be gutted when Giggs retires too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 My dad passed away at 20.40 pm today and despite the times we visited him over the past 5 weeks we were not there to see him go........but hey ho Ed is at peace at last.......5 weeks after his 83 birthday.. He has attended almost 20 of the vintage shows at Fraserburgh over the past 22 years so I think in his memory we will need to donate an Ed Cruickshank Memorial Trophy or Shield for the best polished brasses or the best Farmall or International since he died on the day of the 22nd rally. RIP Ed...we will meet again...don't know where ..don't know when Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
