It appears that our pal Farmer Frank - who's well known to some of the users of these forums - has got a bit of a fan club!

Speaking of which, we're hoping to persuade Farmer Frank to do a "live surgery" on these forums on the evening of June 19 - answering forum members' queries. Put the date in your dairy!

Done!

Tim.Relf:

Done!

You have been! You don't know how much beer I can drink in an evening. Or what I smell like after a couple of pickled eggs!

Beer and pickled eggs, just as well its on line

Is Farmer Frank doing his bit for emissions?

Get him to stay in the right field, and it might save having to apply sulphur - and nitrogenous liquid, come to think of it.

I can't camp in my condition. I need a firm bed these days.

Funny you should say that, He his-self. My neighbour says I'm full of hot air. 

To be honest, I think she's got a soft spot for me. I might ask her if she wants spend some time alone with me. I've got some calves to castrate next week - I might see if she wants to come along... 

Sir, you sound like a man of great intelligence and experience, with your knowledge i know someone who could employ you as his mentor, are you open to offers of employment on a long term basis? He needs some sound advice and i am led to believe that you are the man.

I look forward to your reply,

Yours Sincerely

Ivor Biggen. (aka Bonehead)

Sir, you sound like a man of great intelligence and experience,

Dear Mr Biggen,

Thank you for your kind words - you're obviously a very good judge of character. I've seen a few things in my time, I can tell you. 

I will consider all offers of employment, although can't guarantee completing the work.

Sir, i offer you my assistence. As for compensation for your many troubled days ahead, the offer of peanuts is on the table.

Yours sincerley

That bloke from Farmers Weekly was on the phone last night, telling me I had to behave and not upset anyone too much when I do this 'live surgery' on the website on the 19th. He's going to regret asking me to do it!

What will you be performing 'live surgery' on? I hope not that lamb you hold?

Its 23c here and very humid, we are off to the beach soon what does Frank do in the heat? Surf or boogie board ?

That lamb, sadly, is no more.

I say 'sadly' - but in fact it was delicious.

I've heard of surfing. Not sure what the other is, though. Isn't that what people do in discos - boogie?

If it gets really hot, I'll strip off to underpants and a vest.  I make a point of not going too near to a pto when I'm scantily clad.

How many problems can I ask your advice on at the live surgery on Thursday evening?

Tim.Relf:

You can ask advice on an many as you want. You must be a right freak if there's that many though.

I've just had a message from Farmer Frank. He's been doing some preparation for tomorrow evening's live Q&A session. He tells me he's been reading a medical dictionary, a copy of Shooting Times and some old issues of Playboy.

We've decided to do the live chat bit using a bit of software which will make it easier for non-FWiSpace members to submit questions. You will be able to find it here or if you log-onto the main FWi Hompage it should be pretty prominent. Once it is over - if anyone wants to ask any more questions then this thread will be the place to do it. Just don't expect an answer straight away - Frank will have had so much beer by that point that we won't get any sense out of him.

But don't worry we'll try and get him back on the case the next day...

Frank I will be at the Highland on the 19th, any tips on show etiquette and have you a cure for sore feet and a hangover?
