you r such a disgusting pig

But Piglet, don't you remember, you refused to sell me any because you wanted it all for yourself?

Indeed I did, and yes I am

The only thing in our compost heap was a rat that was keeping warm in the pile and only jumped out when Mrs Piglet, whilst turning the pile came close to giving it a piercing that it woud not have wanted. It jumped out and landed on the fork shaft before flinging itself to freedom over next doors plot.

Nasty creatures.

Yes you are what?

see grocks post before yours, all will become clear.

Oh right, you're a disgusting pig. That's not very nice Grock, poor Piglet.

mmmmmmmmmm i know........im in practice for giving up fags

Bad Piglet, naughty naughty, slap, slap, slap, slap. That's all your trotters tanned for you.

Bad Piglet. And Grocks not much better either. God help us when the fags go. Think we'd better get tin hats on and wait for the fallout!!!

Worked on a farm one summer holiday when at college.
Had contractors in to empty and spread the slurry pit, one of the old boys at the farm used to grow his prize marrows on it, he walked out on this huge hole twenty plus feet deep to plant and harvest! If he had sunk it would have been without a trace!.

Old vs new, the contractors had lovely shiny new tractors and specialised spreading kit, we supplied a drot to load them and an ancient Fordson tractor to drag them up the slippery slope out of the pit.
Preparation on the Fordson
Take its rear wheels off and replace with spade-lug steel wheels
I was given the job of driving it across the yard, found out why on the first foot, lift, drop, thud/clank, lift, drop, thud/clank lift .... (repeat add naseum) .
Completely un-stoppable though.

"My" tractor was a newer International two wheel drive with diff lock and I (young and foolish) decided to see what it could do when we were finishing off a more solid above ground heap.
Drove it through the heap and out the other side, leaving a tractor shaped hole right the way across.
I got my come-uppance later thought, always drive into the wind when muck-spreading, a 2lB turd in the back of the head hurts and the little bits get everywhere.

Worst though was when taking the yearly supply of barley straw to the piggery, my hat fell off into the weaners pen. Twenty little piggies thought this was christmas and here was a great new toy to play hunt the holder with. Off went my hat in the mouth of piglet-1 with piglets 2 to 20 in hot pursuit. The pigman gave me my hat back twenty minutes later, intact, but with an even coating and a certain eau-de-merde-de-cochon a go in the washing-machine by itself got rid of the worst and a couple more washes made it wearable, poor student remember.
Piglet, when was your first avatar photo, the one with the lairy grin taken, was it in 1981 as my memory now says that I have seen that grin before, partly obscured by a hat

When I moved into my house and began digging, I started to find strange things. I live next to the main railway line so many of the things are train things. Like mirrors,unbroken glassshelves and pieces of track. But my best find are a helmet and spade of german war issue. My compostbin are placed next to my rabbits and I reguarly find pieces of kitchenware used to carry scraps to feed them. It really pisses my husband off!

Spent at least 15 minutes burrowing through my compost bin today looking for my lost spud peeler, thanks to you lot I was convinced it would be there. Of course it eventually turned up just where you'd expect, in my daughter's bed. Ho hum.

Dear All,
the strangest thing we have found in the compost heaps at work was a fake robin made of plastic with feathers glued on to it. We think it must have been part of a christmas decoration of some kind.
Regards Sally Wright.
ps the nest of grass snake eggs was a little un-nerving too.

Could be worse Sally

You could find a Grock hiding ready to go
