You see Jayzee, we are a friendly lot Interesting that DrC is/was a shepherd. Due to a bad back, I had to retire as a shepherd in 1997 at the grand old age of 32! If I hadnt I would probably be in a wheelchair now. Miss the job like crazy but at least I can still walk ok. These days only have a few sheep

I too have had issues. Orf, various sprained ankles and things when working with sheep and now carpal tunnel syndrome which I don't think lambing the Texels helped with.

I love them even more when they are on my plate and served with Mint Sauce

I seem to get most turned on when guys start talking about tools, so any mention or drills, hammers, saws, chainsaws etc... I go weak at the knees and get quite damp elsewhere!
Bonjour mon petit chou fleur! I've got Chainsaws, Planers, Grinders, Welders, Sanders, Spanners, adjustables, Stilsons, Spanners, Screwdrivers, Torx drivers, meters, pliers, cutters...........
Uh-oh - I think Ann may have exploded

Phew, this thread has made me throw caution, and my clothes, to the wind. Mmmmmmm.
Oh la la Docteur C, j'aimerais bien vous visiter pour voir tous vos instruments! (not sure if that is correct, but you get my drift!)
Monty, a few sheep and a tractor is better than no sheep at all! Please don't classify me as a pikey, I would love to see your shed!
Jayzee, any boy would have loved to be in your son's position! Fit farmers aren't that easy to find, years of toil on the soil and no sun protector turns their skin to leather.
Mind you if Shane Warne can go from red neck looks to James Bond suave in the space of a few weeks there is hope for us all!

Ann you would be welcome anytime to view my shed! As for my skin, I am pleased to say that it isnt leather and no I havent really looked after it, just not neglected it!!
Will be having more sheep fairly soon when the AP's finally relinquish control (why do farmers live for ever when you want to take control??)

That's very tempting, Monty! Can't you put them out to grass? The APs that is, not the sheep - well, maybe the sheep too!
