yes my 4x4 has a spice rack - and a toilet seat with barbed wire decoration and shag pile carpets

you got a problem with that?

Ladymuck · 11/08/2006 00:13

CD - why do you have a shotgun? And do you have a licence? Am now scared about going to another meet-up in case you're wielding said gun...

J&C'sM - thats really bad news about your parents farm.

screams 'i have loads of money and absolutely no taste at all'

Heathcliffscathy · 11/08/2006 00:09

obviously what you need is the mother of all f&ckwit cars...the porsche cayenne...so good they named it after something from your spice rack

Well to be honest with you, my parents farm is in the process of being sold due to them going bankrupt, its a very sad time for us all. With the milk price at an all time low, and everything else being so expensive it just isnt working.

My other halfs parents are just hanging on, but are very stressed. Like you said, there is too much red tape. What really annoys me though is that its cheaper to import meat then it is to rear animals here!!

What chance have we got? We have the highest animal welfare standards in the world, and do things to the book, which costs so much, and yet supermarkets are importing sub standard produce, and really pushing the sales on it!

My brother had a nervose breakdown over it severalyears back and now are cnsidering diversifying. There's so much red tape and they are running on peanuts. My parents were relatively luckly they are now retired. My bros are less so.

JoshuaandChloesmummy · 11/08/2006 00:02

It's hard isnt it. You work so hard, all hours of the day for no return. Hopefully it will pick up one day.

RE-spect to the farmers! I have a big lexus 4x4 with blacked out windows, pimped up with blue neon lighting underneath. The beauty of it is, NO-ONE can get past if they're coming the other way up our narrow victorian road (that was actually built for those pony and trap wotchamacallits), and because of the blacked out windows, I just sit tight and ignore them until they reverse. I'm not going to reverse, am I? makes my dick smaller.

Wouldn't take it to the country though - might get covered with shit, and shit like that. And given a choice between a degree at liverpool University and Cosmetic Surgery, I'm definitely going toi click on the button for the motor.

Hang on a mo' - what's that Boden stuff? Is that any good?

MistressMary · 11/08/2006 00:01

My parents are farmers and we come from a long line of farmers. My brothers are still farming. It is so demoralising now though.

jampots · 11/08/2006 00:00

I think you'll be needing a new wax jacket CD

JoshuaandChloesmummy · 10/08/2006 23:59

Ahh. Im in Dorset. We dont actually live on a farm, but both sets of parents farm, one is a mixed farm, and one is a Dairy farm.

Unfortunatly the farms dont bring in enough money to support us, so we have had to find jobs elsewhere, but we still help them run the farms.
