My dream job? A male stripper. I was letting the chickens out one morning and the geese, who hate me, spotted that I was cornered and decided to have a go at me. Me being the athlete I think I am, ran and jumped over them. Unfortunately I did not escape unharmed as one of the sneaky bastards managed to bite my meat and two veg.

But when it comes to breaking things, Im an expert. KEVIN Favorite food and where to eat it? Hang sangiches and tae with a slice of apple tart, best served in the cab of my tractor, late evening during silage season! Mammys lasagne is pretty good, too. How did you become a farmer?
