sorry mate I didn't mean to expose you ! as with most things I say on here they are with tongue firmly in cheek, it's light hearted banter i keep saying it but as you know in our line of work we are on 24hr but I'd stil love to have to a pin with yourself, the famous Brixton, the lady lover nines (white jeans) and the Neil warlock lookalike ranger col !
I always thought DT would be older, a remnant for the 60s with all the mind altering drugs used then. Mind you the hair is as Id imagine it would be.
Me too. Not the image I had, but ****ing bad ass cool dude motherfucker nonetheless. Just struggling to see that bloke laying someone out with a gypsy throat punch!
Aah, you can't beat a pin with your chums, can you? But don't have too many, Secret, or you'll soon give somebody the needle.
Come from a big farming/horse dealing family you get to learn a lot early on believe me I got out early doors but my cousins, that's a very different story
I've never really understood day to day horse dealing in this country. The racing/thoroughbred stuff ok, but the horses traded at the horsefair that happens 3 or 4 times a year a couple of miles from me look to be pretty manky beasts. There aren't many working horses around now, and unless there is a massive 'manky horse racing' underground I can't see who would want to buy these animals and why. Obviously its travelling people most involved and the horsefairs seem to be a social thing as much as anything else. Perhaps they don't trade any horses at all, its just an excuse for a get together. Enlighten me Dave.
I believe there's money to be had by breeding and selling manky beasts to abattoirs to be made into burgers, meat balls etc. Don't know where I heard it...............
I believe we have outsourced that particular process to Eastern Europe Swords. But there is still time to set up the Manky Beast Export Co.
You must be talking about fairs as true markets have been killed years ... everything I remember was sorted out on market days ... Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays these hardly no longer exist in the old forms Some were Cattle/Livestock and Horse Markets were every other Thursday Race Horses was our game more a hobby the money for that came from pigs and dairy. My Mother from a family of 10 and my Father had three keepers and would also deal and my sister made her living point to point before becoming a riding instructor in Kingston. I rebelled a lot earlier as the entire family were into a way of life that yielded quite a few prison sentences over the years. I last attended a family funeral two years ago as life still seems to trickle on. My uncles: Ollie and Barry are still the hardest men i have ever know and the strange thing is I have one cousin who also rebelled and ended up very high in Sussex Police and is based in Lewes ... makes for a completely stable environment and life sort of works. The criminals of life don't live in the country well that's not true a lot of city money have moved there thankfully to get robbed. There is a unwritten code of conduct sadly my lads aren't in it and have little idea of the past life. My family stills has loads of land and the family business moved into Landspreading a long time back holding only a small head of livestock. I did 4 days a few years back spreading in one of the family's Valtra tractors ... different world as believe it or not I grew up and he still used horses as work animals
Not far off Royston Vasey we had a few tied cottages always full of travellers types: Henry the Hat, Boy Sid .. takes me back phew! Landspreading for me was driving up and down spraying the contents of a slurry lake onto the field at about 2mph ... At times the 200mm hoses went back 1/2 a mile and the job was one of the most dangerous I have done when I had to reel up the hoses. Did it to help out the old family and I loved it. Muck spreading injection on a acreage rate is death race 2000 in £130K machines the idea is fill up with **** and spread and scrap into the ground ... the advantage being the herd back get back onto the field quicker ...spraying neat liquid slurry sends the ground sour and believe me burns your paws to ****. Most workers are high as kites and on the liquid it is not uncommon to see a 2 mph tractor driverless while the driver takes a dump sitting on a five bar (this is called having an agricultural)... The ways of the land are super hard
I think you get a good prospective of life crossing from a country mouse to a town mouse as I have ... It's wasn't enough for me so I got a education and first went into pharmaceuticals (r&d) and then changed to design Change is good
Lucky you left that first gig. You might have ended up spending your weeks flogging prozac to the Japs and Viagra to the Hoosiers. Eh Stan?
I've got a boot full of anything you want Swords. At a price. Back to the subject of definitions, this thread has clearly been hijacked, but not I think in a malicious way, its just evolved into 'farming and pharmaceuticals today'. These are the threads I really enjoy.
Yes you are right I don't think anyone has hijacked stuff it's the way it seems to flow ... My apologies to any readers
