Been to see Lord Hooray tonight, he's been moved to the local cottage hospital (which is excellent) while he recovers. He is Black and Blue. For a man that takes a whole raft of medication including blood thinners to keep him going it's remarkable. he told me the Devil looks after his own. I said a cat and 9 lifes springs to mind. While I have worked for him, he has broken his neck, his arm, numerous gashes (due to falls) and we have both spent hours in A&E having dog bites stiched after seperating there terriers while fighting.
I took the photo of the helo as it flew him away. The Pilot was ex Army, when I told him my CV he asked my to assist clear the area for take off.
I told him I was the Hoorays personal Pilot.
I didnt explain that I go to the compost heap and pilot there and here and over there. I don't think he would have been that impressed.

What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.
If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.
what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?
firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.
The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!
It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis
PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.
Kind wishes

Another bed time story by handyman.
When I was oop North and started working for the Hoorays, I was only part time.
I used to work one day a week for a lovely couple who were just as landed as the Hoorays, but really nice down to earth for toffs. The chap was a chartered surveyor, who had his own business managing large country estates.
The Lady (and she was titled but wouldn’t use it) was from an old army family. She had been brought up in Africa in the days of the commonwealth. She was reminiscent of Joanna Lumley in the way she spoke and acted. Working for them was great fun because they wouldn’t ask you to do anything that they wouldn’t do themselves.
They had a neighbour who’s claim to fame was that when he inherited a Grouse Moor in North Yorkshire, Opened fire on a Hang Glider who had the Cheek to fly over his moor while he was shooting.
When he came before the Magistrate on Firearms charges including malicious wounding, his defence was that he had drunk several sloe gins from his hip flask and that he thought the hang glider was a prehistoric monster “A Pterodactyl:eek:
The Magistrate asked if he had shot it, I’m not sure he said, “but I must have frightened it because it dropped the man it was carrying”.
Now these people had re-homed a beautiful black Labrador Btch from their neighbour, when they got her she was that used to her name they couldn’t change it, she was called Tahiti, but she answered to TT, which sounded like tity.
One day @ 11 am I was cutting down a damaged tree on there neighbours boundary, when a rather dishevelled and tipsy:beer: but not unattractive women came along the fence shouting Soho, Portobello. And then asked me if I had seen her two long hair daschunds. I said that they were unusual names for dogs, I went on to say that my employers dog titty was a poor choice for a Labrador, upon which she turned puce and told me “ I gave her that name” Ooops!:o
Later when I saw Lady M. I told her what had happened, she laughed “so you’ve met Winchester” she said, was she sober!. No I replied “why do you call her Winchester?”. She laughed you’ve seen what she’s like, we call her “Winchester because she’s been cocked more times than John Wayne’s rifle”.
Living in the country can be like living on the set of Emmerdale.
Best wishes to all, handyman.Mother Nature Don't Draw Straight lines, We are Broken Moulds in Life's Grand Design, We look a Mess but we're doing fine,
