patience is a virtue,
possess it if you can,
seldom found in woman,
but never found in man.

How long ago did I first hear this, ah yes 30 years ago, it seems this saying is very correct ;D ;D ;D

HH,
FIRST 2 sows 50 and 62 weaners 22-40 quid sow with 2 piglets 58, kk boar 42kk sow 38, no doubt Robert will give you the exact prices but these prices are from memory and not very far away.

Hope the Kunes went together ?
Sarah's 2 weaners looked cracking, Bruce was sorely tempted (but we'd have had to tie the kids to the roof rack in order to fit them in - it's tempting at times right enough with my kids  ;))
I think there's a chance the Tamworth is heading in the Lesmahagow direction - will find out tomorrow.
I'll wait for the email from Robert - has he stopped messing about with the post count yet  ::) :D :D :D

Leave Robert alone - its a serious business, I mean its not every day that your post counter matches your year of birth  :bunny:

But maybe not everyone knows it's significance?  I've got a saltire flying lol.  Anyway, Robert should have started to post more so he could get there on 24th June!

yes Annie your the first to go in the right direction      i have a saltire as well (will take to hatfield)    we also have the Scottish pedigree pork banner as well           the counter maladies   is just an observation it is not just mine that clocks down the posts        had the meter been working correctly i would have attained the magic number long before the 24th June           o well not far to go to the next milestone
then the next again one will be the year i was born ;) :farmer: ;)

(silly?) Question: doesn't the bale counter thingy only count when you post a new topic, and not for replies? That's how I thought it worked.

with the inordinate amount of guests now clicking on     i clicked on my profile and counted all my postings listed 2149 i counted
so clicked on Annie's profile  and counted  8072 postings                the upshot is i have missed the rebellion(very important for a rebel) and missed my birth year       no point in having a clicker if it is not working    even if he is called Ted ::) :farmer:
