Newbie's Arc welder and bodywork

[whycanismellburning]

I do loads of work for farmers repairing various abused bits of kit... they have no problem dropping £65k on a brand new top of the range all singing all dancing wipe your **** kind of tractor but when i put an invoice in for work done last week the argue over £50???!!! They then have a huff, jump into their brand new range rover (having had jeeves wipe the mud off thier wellies first) and burn the £50 in fuel wheel spining the car away.... I ASK YOU WHERES THE BLOODY JUSTICE... Oh thanks for the cheque mr brittlebank...next time bring cash! :full

WTF!!!
Well, i guess you haven't met the right farmers yet then.....
My husband drives a really old renault express which is more rust than something else!!!!!!!!!don't slam the doors they'll fall off!!
Every f'ing day we work our asses off to pay for those "fancy" tractors, and the only one who's lucky is the friggin' bank!!!!!!!!! Oh and i didn't even mention fuel, fertilizer, aliment prizes!! You can't prepare 25 hectare of land with a shovel and put in the corn by hand!!!!! same for the wheat!!!!!You think i'm a fabrication welder just for sheer fun??? Nooo i need the extra money!!

ok rant's over now.....

What's this? A French farmer getting cross and defensive? Who ever would have thought? Careful, lads, or there'll be burning hay bales and tractor blockades on the M25 soon!!!

Sorry, Sparks! I should really be sticking with you. You should see our farm. The whole thing's held together with bagging string!

 

[Sparkey]

bagging string, you mean the blue one??? (they put around hay bales)
blimey, we repare everything with that!!!

Don't worry, whycanismellburningcosyoureonfire i'm a bit sharp on the edges sometimes!!

nah farmers friend is orange but easy to reverse a tanker through, it appears everywhere. im starting to think it grows on farms. they cant keep up with the growth, so tie it everywhere. i aint no farmer but milk prices balanced with fuel prices aint good. are we not all feelin the fuel prices? everytime i go to the garage, i have to blink to make sure the decimal point is in the right place!!!
