Title: not to be
Post by: langdon on May 23, 2010, 10:11:03 pm: we were suppost to be taking our first pig to slaughter tomorrow, my birthday too
but the exaust on the 4x4 has just decided to pack it in.
the back box needs to be replaced, it sounds like a army tank, me and my father in law were
in it and boy were we laughing, the noise!!
police passed us by we were sure they were going to turn around and follow, luckly not.
so we are waiting on it to arrive in post, bought it on ebay.
myself and me father in law are going to do the job ourselves and save some cash in the mean time.
so our first pork from ere is going to have to wait!
langdon ;D :pig: :pig: :pig:
