I finish on 19th and will not be going back. After 51 years working that will be my last day

I’ll be beating three days a week during the season and helping out in between with pest control, stalking throughout the year and out at night shooting, I hunt, I’ll be doing bird surveys in spring, I spend a lot of time walking on the fells, I’ve three kids and six grand kids to help out. I intend visiting a few auctions next year and a great friend has invited me up to Orkney anytime I like to stay on his farm, so lots to look forward to

I was thinking there about the place I lived as a kid, terraced streets with the back lanes and yards, think they were Victorian, mostly a ground floor flat and a first floor flat, the upstairs being three bedroomed Always remember the high ceilings, single pane windows, no central heating, and the little fire grates in the bedrooms that had been boxed in, and never been used since feck knows when Me owld Ma used to explode through my bedroom door every morning navigating over me in my pit to get to the window pull the curtains open managing yet again to evade tipping arse over tit s

A lot of it comes down to energy costs to produce materials, a will to build more , lack of training and mentoring . The money is in lending money on mortgages not building houses. I think as far as youngsters go, and adults phones are a killer . I only got to look at guys I work with half of them are staring at a phone half the day, I'd ban phones or have them in a locker if I employed people. As for people slating young folk they're your kids or grandkids , I tell it as I see it I don't suffer them, I've refused to work with lazy sods before , gaming all night and claiming pip and in there p

Bit nippy today and I forgot my face-mask,the windchill was biting cold.Rivers covered in floating ice,soon be totally frozen,all the lakes are covered in thick ice,saw a set of coyote tracks crossing the ice and a few raccoon tracks,the only thing out and about was me and a few turkeys.

Great days groups of us kids playing in the rough fields. Hiding behind turned over cars throwing bricks at each other. Top tip don’t peep over the top when it goes quiet. That hurt. Running round the fens with my homemade bow arrow after pheasants. That was a roaring success trips to wales in the reliant robin with granddad later on the copper at door were you digging badgers sir your van was spotted. No officier. Ok that’s fine bye much better times never appreciated it back then bloody do now

I slept under coats and army blankets until I left school and moved out . It seems like a very long time ago now. My kids can't comprehend that I lived in a house with only one coal fire , and windows that used to freeze on the inside . They've got no concept of the gas being cut off because the bill wasn't paid , and living on cold food. It's character building .

I don’t think you should judged too harshly mate…….anyway, what time can you fit me in to do my hair and nails ? lol

Trump has halted immigration from 19 countries.

My wife works caring for adults with intellectual disabilities (yes, she has had a lot of practice before anyone says it ! lol ) and I must relate an amazing conversation she had with a new member of staff at work yesterday…… A Kenyan lady has joined the service and yesterday my wife and her got chatting, the Kenyan said to my wife “Is that accent from Essex ?” So my wife says “Yeah, how did you know” and the Kenyan said this: ”Before I moved here me and my family were living in Medway for 5 years but we had to leave England because it’s too dangerous now” She went on “There’s t

Not a bad view like loads of what look like red kites but can't get a decent pic

Anyone who pays that sort of money for a bed has had all the common sense fcuked right out of them already..

How come you can only see the heel mark looks like you have stamped your heel as hard as you can to make that mark a dogs foot wouldn’t sink 2mm in that clay, you wanna get on the black land to test your dogs out man, only thing that ground will do is clog the hares feet up and make it harder for them not the dogs

My last day is the Thursday 18th ...start back Monday the 5th Jan... Got plans to do loads of jobs round house and garden....but knowing me I will end up veging out on sofa...eating Cadbury hero's for 2 week...lol

To some people thats like me or you spending 50 quid on one mate lol When your a shagger (hopefully you will be one day )you have to.spend a few k on a bed for it to.last

Mrs knocked up a big batch of fresh carrot,golden beetroot and ginger soup... I can't get enough of the stuff

I'm a subby, probably break up for Christmas Friday 19, lose 22/23 and the 2nd to have a two week break. Can't wait for it tbh.. ordered a meat hamper today from local butcher...tree next weekend....

It’s 3/4 whippet but would pass for a pure whippet to look at, only 4 months old

23rd then back for two days before new year can't wait as its the worst time of year in a parcel delivery warehouse and shit management don't help. Thank feck it will be my last Christmas at the company I work for as I'm going to retire next October.

That was almost as hard to decipher as one of Mchull’s reply’s lol

He obviously had a real un free of the saluki taint

Won't be long and you'll wonder how you had time for work...

Sounds like the don has been on the hotline to wilf or has anyone ever seen them together no so is wilf the don and Trojan horsed his way to into the whitehouse now there’s a conspiracy for you

Al be the cheeky c**t next season with this pup.

Your no country boy ate ya mc maybe a bit of a bill Oddie tho lol

Gives you a reach round every night lol

Where I come from there’s this type of car snobbery, as in you will hear people judging people every day if they don’t have some kind of almost new and/or flash motor……the important bit is, none of them have a pot to piss in and anyone with half a brain knows it but they just want to look like they do…..it’s f***ing weird ! So refreshing then when I moved here because that type of car snobbery just don’t exist, at all !……nobody gives a f**k if you have a brand new €100k Land Cruiser or a 20 year old Skoda with the back doors held shut with bailing string ! The roads are shite, the ca

Don’t let your guard down WILF next thing you know she will be eating at your table and chasing you around the yard with a machete

I’d just move banks

If like me you watch a bit of youtube...usually political stuff...it can get on your tits ....so it's nice to look at bits of old film like this....of course it can make you sad cos we won't get it back

Shark and greeny must be scratching there heads, taking a long time to think of a good reply

Funny ain't it ...some motors I recon are just lucky....or possibly they don't look like any kind of threat to plod....me and me mate chipped in together and bought a Bedford rascal pick up.....remember the little sooty and Sweep van....we were out all time poaching in that little thing driving about all hours....it didn't even have an old tax disc in the corner....not MOT...no insurance...never ever got stopped in....

I did consider pm'ing mr. Mackem and ask if he could fly over and get me into the house but ended up calling a locksmith I know to get in. Had spare car key in the house. My mate has since let the world and his dog know about my "senior moment"

My mini pick up year 1979 is no mot or tax and £65 a year insurance = happy days

I did nt mean good going mate for 40,000 , those effing things normally go wrong well before that, I agree it’s disgraceful, I’ve had Isuzu trucks off eBay that have done 175,000 on them and I’ve taken it over 200,000 without a murmur. My sisters got a new Peugeot, no end of problems too. They make them unreliable with electric gremlins. I always think if they built a pick up that you can jet wash out, no electric seats, handbrake, parking sensors the lot, just wind down windows, heater , radio that’s it I reckon would sell well. My Mrs can start her car and put the heating on it from her mobi

The Don is taking no prisoners,ICE have started snatching Somalian wrongdoers in Minneapolis,even grabbed one lady in a traffic stop on a school run.

Well well well welll what have we got going on here tonight how go little bangers

Try Bristol....

I'm fortunate I have no interest in car outside of something reliable and preferably comfortable. Work with lads that work away with a banger whilst got an expensive motor sat on the driveway on tick paying through the nose for so they can drive it twice a month. A lad dropped his tools of the other week in a gle V8 , and came back down in another Merc . I here from missus or kids about the keeping up with the Jones' whether cars or houses , my son came back the other day said his mates house got a sitting room same size as our downstairs and kids got his own bathroom etc. I just say well they

One’s enough thanks lol

There’s a chaps wife very ill,Luke has just filmed an episode and donated the money to the guys family.He is a genuine Christian,did missionary work in a few countries,I don’t think he has a bad bone in his body,very likeable on screen presence.

Igz wouldnt sink in that he could jump up and down like a pond skater

Something a bit different,lamping with eagles.

I've heard the nanny dog phrase about Staffordshire bulls but not pits and a staffy is a lesser dog than a high drive pit.
