Ive recently been going on the Horse and Hound forum and some other forums and have come to the conclusion that this is my favourite by far!!! ;D
Firstly, HH is sooooo bitchy ::) some people get there back up about anything and everything :o it makes me chuckle reading some of the responses, i think the equine indrustry is like it anyway very competitive! ::)
I was thinking are they all really uptight or am i just realy laid back like virtually lying down :P lol
The thing is on here you can tell your tale, air your veiw and get on with it and everyone is amicable and friendly :)
What other forums do you guy go on aswell?

I have been on the River Cottage forum for a while, a real good laugh. There are quite a few on here on RC as well. Only came on here cause invited by Wizard.RC is more foody/foraging and seems to be more serious about producing/rearing own food.They also do a great blogs section which is interesting and have members from all over the world with their own problems like bears eating their fruit! This is a good site as well but I do prefer RC to be honest. Not much time for either lately though as been too busy ;D
-
This is my favourite by far. ;D
-
I go on Down the Lane, when I have time - thats a nice forum. Also go on a native pony one - used to go on a couple of other horse ones too, but came away due to the falling out, and bitchiness that goes on. A shame really, as there were only 6 of us on it for ages, and then lots of people joined, and there were committees and moderators - not my scene.
Quite happy on here, and my horse forum. Don't see trouble on here, which is good!!
-
This is by far my favourite forum. I like River Cottage too.
-
I go on to River cottage from time to time, and sometimes the RSPB forum too. But I've got to get a daily fix of TAS or I get withdrawal symptoms lol! Definately my favourite (and I'm not just saying that ;) ;D)
-
TAS is definitely my favourite....everyone is so friendly :) :) :)
The Gloucester Old Spot breeders one is quiet, but good for finding or selling stock. Also I like Lay My Hat, that's for holiday cottage/apartment/villa/b&b people.
-
TAS is one of the best around ;)
IMHO river cottage isn't a patch on what it used to be before the revamp, looks more like a bullitin board now.
-
I like it best too :) although I have been known to use other forums but feel more at home here!!!!
-
I always come back to this forum even if it is a bit scottish.
-
Still new here but I enjoy the attitude of the members compared to some forums, Daveravey, I agree thet RC is not as good now as once was, I rarely go there since the change! As my day job is as a commercial Farm manager, I do visit some cattle and pig sites more attuned to commercial/organic production. I rather like the Scottish connection, Sheila, my ancestors emigrated from Scotland and I am also a piper so have a vague connection :D
-
Quite honestly I think HFW has lost the plot. :wave: ??? :D :farmer: :wave:
-
I registered for the Practical Poultry Forum - took 2 weeks for them to send me a password and it's really not an easy forum to use - LOVE this one! ;D
-
This is definately the best, I am not afraid to ask what may seem silly questions as no one seems to mind and don't make you feel stupid. So thanks folks in the words of Tina "Your simply the best"
-
I go on RC and have recently registered for the British Farming forum when looking for ways to control flies! This is a great forum as you can ask anything no matter how simple. I couldn't have got through the first kidding with the goats without this forum!!
-
Also go to Downsizer, and British Farming Forum
-
This one is by far the best although may I cheekily suggest that Rosemary may be a tad biased......... ;) ;)
-
Oh for sure this one is the best and thanks to all you guys here Im getting a quite nice smallholding with healthy animals. ;D
-
Useful information can be gathered from quite afew in all fairness when all is said and done.
I'm not saying this cause I'm here, but quite honestly this forum has had me impressed since I came here and Ive not been disappointed so far, but thats cause of you lot isn't it. So hats off to one and all for the input the listening, the courteousness, the helpfulness and support :bouquet:
-
;D That's a lovely thing to say
-
Hear hear! :)

The blooming flie are out in force this year arnt they!!!!!! its horendous! my horses are usually fine but this year had to get them fly masks as they are all getting eaten alive!
-
I use river cottage more then tas, but like them both, I feel I 'know' more people on RC. I use snowheads in the winter, as we ski, and it is fantastic for ski info, it used to be very friendly but then turned really bitchy, snobby with arguments all the time, so I only pop in there for info on resorts etc now and then! I use the gloucester old spots forum too, and farmstock forums but that is very quiet!

I quite agree. I don't think he ever found to plot it the first place. His "show" should be considered light entertainment. And he should put his rose tinted specs back in their case where they belong. His programme seems to be a shopfront for the restaurant and business. The way the programme shows the idyll of living off the land is ridiculous you'd be bankrupt within a year, but nevertheless good entertainment.

Hello Lb I thought the first series was quite good but he didn't go to The River Cottage with a 99% Mortgage and had to make it pay did he? The fun chasing stock and enticing pigs into the trailer and the antics with Monica are all real but Windmills and solar heat and the like.Fooey
-
I have tried a few different forums & this has been more friendly & helpful if I've needed advice. You might all be mad heads but you aint too bad really ha ha ha :) 8)
-
I used to find the Pig Site an interesting and informative site, but recently it has been over taken by trolls and i find it disheartenign to wade through threads totally irrelevant to the forum and sometimes not even in English.

You are NOT to read this Dan and Rosemary
I agree with you Mick You and I certainly "Get us muney's woth out on it don't wi" As do many others.No one is bothered about an odd curse Foul Language I am sure will not be tolerated nor should it be but the odd bugger and bluddy is allowed.I think an odd swear is the only way and I think Jackie was very controlled in describing her alleged farmer.I certainly would have named and shamed the Mr B'stard No no no you cannot be sued for slander if what you say/print is true and can prove it to be true.According to my friendly Q.C.He tells me all sorts and I never put sum of money in his pocket in the back of his gown.His Mum said I looked a right bugger in his curly hairs. Every one in court would laff at mi Till I pronounced sentence.Hang I'm he deserves it Cannot have these folk pinching our livestock Look how much I would save George (Chancellor of the Exchequer) if I topped all them as deserves it like these gun happy hero's at the minute.Shoot the Pratt at the scene That would save a fortune for a start.AND don't give me the rubbish that he saw his Mother in bed with the coalman when he was only 5 and its upset the balance of his mind.I had a good balance at one time you could put 100 grins; of lead nicely in the left earhole they don't need hanging then.People I'm on about not Game.Which must be hung for the taste to develop ??? ;D :farmer:
-
I have never gone on any other sites as i felt i didnt need to as everyone on here is so friendly and knowledgeable,no matter how silly or simple the questions are.
-
Hello piggy I don't consider any questions silly or simple.If one knows the answer then one does not need to ask.The things I know about may be of help to you.You may know lots of things which I have no knowledge at all. A clue I know how to switch on my compooter and press some of the keys to make it do things, but what I know about them can be written under a postage stamp with seven letters ??? ;D :farmer:
-

lol That's very good Wizard ;D

We have a computer fairy at our house. Whenever something goes wrong or is lost, my son inlaw holds an inquest and as we both deny any knowledge he say "oh well it must be the computer fairy!"
-
I've found this one to be the friendliest :)
-
I dont have many forums at all, used to go to a horse one until they decided you had to pay to get on, now am on trotonline, on here, and thats about it apart from a few soap and candle ones.
-
What horse one is that storm 35?
How do you pay?

Now you are asking, i cant midn it was something like riders? rider something, they decided you had to pay a subscription yearly so i pulled out as my 10yr old is on it aswell on the laptop. Riders., ride something ohh gonna annoy me now lol,. so the people that did not pay went to a new forum called trotonline which is fab.
-
It was Newrider thats it, just went and looked for it. ::)
-
Cant imagine paying for a forum, couldnt afford to either.
-
There is another horse one where you pay a subscription, but cannot remember which one it is. Some of them, you have to be a member and log in to read the posts, instead of just browsing, and yet more horse ones, have a private members section, where you have a private password. So, needless to say, none of these are on my list!!!
