The advantages of getting up early...



I managed to black out at work today, Iv got a cold and I suddenly started to feel really dizzy and faint so I went to a tractor to get in the cab and warm up, so I opened the door and the nxt thing I knew I was on the floor next to the front tyre of the tractor....so yh it therefore didn't surprise me that they sent me home! However wot was surprising is how comfortable the concrete floor covered in mud was!

DEFRA - God love em...

cos no one else does! They are obviously a bunch of pansy Londoner's who have never even seen a pair of wellies let alone worn em! Dispite being in charge of farming in this country they really don't have a clue about it! For example NVZs Nitrate Vunerable Zones, mean you can ownly put a certain amount of manure and slurry on your field, which is a bummer if you have a lot of cows. Also you have to store all your manure and slurry for 6 months before you can put it on your fields...6 months worth of slurry is ALOT. And the best time for putting manure and slurry on is when its frosty cos then you don't get stuck or anything. But no you can't do that, so you have to do it when its softer but then what, they fine you for putting mud onto the road! I know someone who they tried to fine because the spiral in the spreader was in the wrong way round so it was sending into the air and then down onto the floor instead of straight onto the floor...thats just petty! And they moan about not having enough money, that's partly to do with the government, but it would help if DEFRA didn't use a top class hotel to board their staff when they were dealing with F&M! I mean come on! Use some common sense....and hire some people who actually know summat bout farming....

Sorry bout that I needed a good rant...you're lucky I didn't get onto Pirbright!

Ah the fun

Having spent a relatively sleepless nite in my car on the side of a welsh mountain I preceed to watch rally car and do a spot of marshalling...imagin the smile on my face when this happened...
and if you don't believe I was really there then check this out....Im the chap in the green tabard leaning into the door to make sure they're all still alive (which they were)
and if you stiull don't believe me then watch this video Im the one sprinting to the car. and if you listen carefully to the incar footage you can actually hear me speak saying summat like "are you alrite?" I would like to claim I took the photos...however I didn't...one of the media chaps got some brilliant ones tho, If I can find em anywhere I'll post em up.
