Sorry for invading your post, I'm not making an article though, don't know how! There seems to be a lot of doom and gloom on here so thought I'd cheer you all up with a joke, it's a bit words so bear with me. Stan was a great lover of farming when he was growing up, he had pictures of cows, goats, sheep and tractors on his wall. He never stopped going on about wanting to be a farmer. One day when Stan was about 8, his dad decided he was old enough to attend a tractor exhibition, he sat inside the tractors, and had a tandem ride around the field on a tractor, he loved every minute of it. He then developed an undying love for just tractors, had all the sheep and cows removed from his room and had tractors everywhere, red ones, blue ones, big ones, small ones, he even had tractor wallpaper. His dad took him to the same fair again when he was 9, but during the ride around the field, Stan slipped out of the cab and both his legs were crushed by the huge machines' wheels, rendering his legs useless for the rest of his life. He hated tractors. Stan wheeled into a bar 12 years later, and ordered a pint of beer and went to take his usual seat in the corner of the bar, when he noticed a woman crying... "What's the matter love?" said Stan. "Oh I'm not crying it's just all of the smoke in this room is making my eyes water" the woman replied. "Just one minute" said Stan. With that Stan moved into position in the middle of the bar and took in a huge breath inhaling all of the smoke in the room in one go. "Oh thank you so much" said the woman "but how did you do it?" she asked. "Your very welcome, that was nothing, I'm an ex-tractor fan"
