Depends entirely on the machine. Older models you should be able to get the individual parts for but if its more modern the parts are not individual and you end up needing a whole new drum to get a little bearing. Our last washer died of a similar sickness and although you could buy the drum set up it was more than half the cost of a new machine. Fortunately the wife has it insured and because of covid the engineer refused to come out so they just replaced it with a new machine.

We had some goats a few years back. I killed Gary because he was far too tame and annoying. He was delicious. It's definitely its own flavour but we really enjoyed it. Unfortunately or fortunately a neighbour heard id killed Gary and offered us silly money for the remaining pair who were miles off killing weight so we sold them.

Yeah that occurred to me afterwards too. Maybe even chewing some electric tape?

Looks like something has burnt him doesnt it. Any hot metal he could have licked or water managed to get super heated? Or a salt lick maybe? Strange one!

I was helping flush and embryo transferring some sheep yesterday afternoon. Just as we started the ET the sun had moved round and was beaming right down on us in the shed. Our job was catching the recipients in the pen, pulling them out of the pen, turning them upside down onto the trolley and wheeling them to the vet and wheeling away and tipping the ones he'd implanted. 2 of us non stop for an hour it got very sweaty! But no sun burn. I'm supposed to be going pigeon shooting this evening on some fresh barley stubble, i can hear my mate out there now popping away but in this heat he'll be half the man he was at the start.

Warning ⚠️ British summer time may contain fleeting spells of hot weather. Expect sweaty balls, chubby pasty girls in ever so slightly too revealing shorts and bald men with sunburnt heads. Keep drinking lots of fluids and make the most of it. Don't panic normal miserable weather will be resumed shortly. Having worked outside my whole life and this winter worked in snow, rain and frost from October until May I personally am enjoying a but of lovely warm weather! We could do with removing a few of the Warning labels and letting nature take its course. Darwin awards winners will strive for excellence regardless!

I can make it number 3 of being rough as toast but it not being covid. Toddlers aren't great at sharing unless it's an illness.

🙈 yes it is! I definitely didnt write dearth! And definitely didn't mean dearth! Bloody phone!

The countries in South Africa where they're hunted have large elephant populations. They're only "endangered" in the African countries where they're not hunted. The villagers can't eat photographs. In the countries that hunt animals like elephant and lion there's actually really healthy populations because they have a financial value to the locals. The industry surrounding hunting provides jobs and money for them as well as meat for them to eat.

A better option would be to move some of the animals from countries on the same continent would it not? Ah but they couldn't do that because the countries where there is a dearth of Loxodonta are the countries where they're legally hunted and to relocate some of those would be tantamount to admitting that the trophy hunting business is key to conservation.

A few years back Shrewsbury Council commissioned a sculpture next to the river Severn opposite the theatre and that spiralled miles out of budget. Meanwhile the roads are some of the worst roads in the country for potholes!

I read the multitool thread about an hour ago and now I'm getting adverts for the leatherman wave

I was in a similar situation a few years back. Your biggest problem could come well before even getting to court. If she makes malicious allegations against you such as you knocked her about or were being inappropriate with your lad the police and social services will 100% take her side. Any woman can say anything about any man and its guilty until proven innocent. So be prepared for her to get really dirty. In my case after it all came to a head and we ended up in front of a judge he was very sympathetic and said if he could have given the mother a custodial sentence for all the misery and trouble she caused me he'd have locked her away for the maximum he could. I spent £10k in 8 months and that was with striking a deal with the solicitors. 2 things to remember whatever happens 1 in years to come you'll have all the court paperwork to prove you've tried your best for your son regardless of the outcome and you can show him you did everything you could. 2 talk to your friends or any one. Don't let it all get too much for you. We're men, we don't do talking but you can't let it eat away at you inside otherwise the worst can happen.

Lurcher pups born 19/6/21 Mum works and is a brilliant family pet, the 2yr old can take her for walks and has on occasion dressed her up in her sun hat and sun glasses and painted her nails with felt tip pen! The dad is my brothers dog he also works and is also as soft as a brush! He stayed here for a week to and avoided the sun hat but still got his nails painted! I know the bitches family back to her great grandparents, my best friend has her dad and aunt. And I know the dogs parents. Very good working pedigree but all brilliant pet dogs. Mum is whippet/bull/grey she's quite fine and racey. The dog is a 2nd cross bull/grey hes a bigger dog with more bone but he's not a big slow lump by any stretch. Theres 3 fawn bitches, 3 black bitches, 3 brindle dogs, 1 brindle bitch and 1 black dog. All doing very well and growing like absolute weeds. Theyre £750 each which is in line with every other lurcher ad I've seen in the last few weeks. A deposit would be required to hold one but I'm happy for the balance to be paid in installments before you collect your puppy. Good homes are a definite. I'm based at Shrewsbury. I can WhatsApp or text or email photos but they're all to big to put up here at the minute.

No he's not like one of us otherwise I'd be a damn sight wealthier! But politicians have always been of the do as I say not as I do mentality and always will be. For the most part they're idiots who like the sound of their own voice and live to line their own pockets. I've got no sympathy for him but I fail to see why it's really an issue. Millions of people went out flouting the rules doing much worse than this and never had any come back. I'm a self employed key worker, I lost work and had the entire 1st lockdown caring for a 2yr old and trying to make a 14yr old do some school work, and I still don't care that he was snogging some bird in his office. As far as I'm concerned that contributed a million times less to any covid spreading than the 3 million people who used my fields as personal dog walking fields or the 4 million cyclists coughing and spluttering their way up the hill past my house every day. Or the people that were still going out and having parties and meeting up and single people still ******** each other without wearing a mask...So yes he was a naughty boy but it really doesn't matter.

Really is this news? Most people are guilty of a bit of philandering and frankly old Matthew having a bit of a snog and a grope with his quite attractive aide shouldn't qualify as news. Even if he was definitely punching way out of his league. And everyone baying for his blood, he is or was locked in a building probably in the same room as this woman for hours and days on end working together in close proximity, they're likely more in a bubble than most people are with their own family! The man is an odious little ferret much like all the other politicians but this is just mud slinging for the sake of it.

They did it in the early 00's. Quite why they ever let Ben Fogle off Taransay ill never know.

Fank you gentlemen that is exactly what I thought and exactly what I told Mrs BTJ to relay to her chum but "you weren't listening" so now I have listened and done the asking and shall now do the retelling!

Definitely. I dont do anything I don't enjoy on the whole and I thoroughly enjoy shooting. The whole process from start to finish. I shoot for pest control and I shoot to fill the freezer, we live on venison and lamb, occasionally an unlucky duck, goose, rabbit or hare. It's the same with the home kill lambs I do, I take huge pride in the fact I've pulled out or witnessed the birth of these little slimy *******, looked after and reared them to weight and then walked them into my shed, given them a handful of feed and they're dead before they've even finished their first mouthful oblivious to everything. And to see them on the hook in my big fridge and then butchered makes them taste even sweeter.

I'm just curious on behalf of a friend of Mrs BTJ how it works to a certain extent. If you make an FOI request to a body about a 3rd party are they at liberty to release the information they hold on the person and do they have to notify that person that there has been an FOI request about them? She wants to make a request to the local child services authority regarding her ex husband and the information they hold on him for a few reasons. But she doesn't want him to be notified about it. I think I've got that right I tend to switch off when it gets too complicated! I told Mrs BTJ I'd ask the oracle which is you lot!

They do put down a lot of fat. Same with the turkeys too although they pluck a lot better when they've got nice big fat pads!

I read his interviews in the farmers weekly in the couple of weeks prior to it being released. He readily admits hes useless on the farm and clueless. He also said that although some bits are filmed for the show - such as the shepherdess reversing the stock trailer into the shed - but for the most part it's as it happens and he didn't want to make it too much like the grand tour. He was going to use actors for parts like Kaleb but the lad was so earnest, funny and good on camera he used him instead. I'm on episode 4 and I like it, the first episode I wasn't sure but it is very good. And like pangolin said his dry stone waller/head of security is very funny!

Personally I haven't got a problem with fur farming as long as its done as humanely as possible. A lot of us kept ferrets as kids and some keep them now, as long as they have food, water and some enrichment the little cat snakes are quite happy in their cages and there's no reason mink should be any less happy after all they're just bigger angrier ferrets. The majority of us on here shoot foxes either as our main bitnof sport or as an aside, if the fur trade hadn't been crippled in this country by allowing the activists to get their way rather than chopping their hands off or better still their heads, there would be an outlet for the thousands of foxes that get shot to bits every year. As for chicken a local farmer with a broiler shed told me last Xmas that as a nation we produce only 75% of the chicken breast we consume in the UK but 150% of the leg and thigh meat. People want so much chicken we have to import foreign stuff but they're too lazy to pick it off the bone and eat the tastier thigh meat! Free range chicken although you might think its worth the extra doesn't cost significantly more to produce than a shed reared bird, the only difference is its a little bit older and they open the shed door. I rear my own meat chickens occasionally and they're very tasty! But they go over weight before they're finished - which is fine for us but I doubt many people would know what to do with a 10lb chicken - once they go much over 2/3 months old it's a balancing act trying to keep them alive long enough to kill them!

I've got an American fridge in the garage I use for deer and its fine. The extra space of a decent sized chiller like this one would be more handy for when I kill the turkeys or I do a few lambs for the freezer. Trouble with the coke fridges is we all want them and they're not cheap as a result! Cheers Kev
