Tea?

[Bobby Mhor]

It was like that here last week. Lots of hedges being cut, and the smell of manure was enough to make you gag. . I remember driving behind a tractor that had a slurry whatever its called trailing behind it. Its tyres were over inflated and the trailor was bouncing all over the place depositing slurry all over the road. i very quickly overtook it.

I worked on a farm as a teenager (aye, (almost) 50 years ago) and did my fair share of shovelling it.
Let's say, it is memorable
Gawd knows what folk thought of me on the bus after I finished

Runway looks a bit waterlogged!

Everywhere here is waterlogged

Can't shovel it any more, it's all changed.

Faster pedalling or higher gear?

Looks like the field beside the runway

Afternoon all
Lovely mild day, a bit dreary looking now
Had a run down past the airport, plenty of planes taking off to foreign climes
even Ryanair was playing

@Mo1959 You'd be spending more time cleaning your bike than being on it..
Most of the country roads all seem to be getting their hedging cut and mud seems to be everywhere, plus a few farmers are spreading it today going by the rich aromas wafting about.
Get on the saddle again, it all comes back

Must have found a couple of spare pilots

T'will be again, sometime.

Possibly the next one that comes around

You'll be telling us your tales with it next

Monarch demise came along at the right time..
The explanation of the pilot's holiday rota f'up was all bull,
they'd lost quite a few of their pilots to other airlines,
it was all a proposed change of conditions (think along the zero hours) is why they all flew elsewhere.

all allegedly

Why couldn't they have used the runway? It'll be take off from a field.

Appear to be a crap company to work for so as you said a large number started jumping ship
O'Leary is a right clown of an owner in the way he treats people. Cant blame them.
The rosters seemed a smoke screen

You try it and tell me what you think.

Two a year end up dying at work.

Farm work, spent a couple of days in 95(we'd a warm spell). I was the only one who started that finished the week.
