I'll have a go at posting from the main site
We have parted ways with our old mower/harvester,the replacement is the same breed (Toro),and the mower side of it has less than 1,000 hours,but the harvester attachment would be lucky to have seen fifty hours work.We wanted to replace a couple of the pulleys,and get it prepared for mowing,but the young bloke wasn't keen to do it yesterday,as the farm had 50mm of rain out of a storm overnight,and the shed was a bit damp,as a result.I've been mowing the place on my own,for the last couple of weeks,so was pretty pushy to get it operational,and I won

Former Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica beat MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi to victory in the annual non-championship Monza Rally.

Kubica was driving the same Ford Fiesta RS WRC, run by Italian team A Style, that he had used to win national event the Rally of Casentino earlier this year.

Monza was a straight fight from the outset between event debutant Kubica and three-time winner Valentino Rossi, also driving a Fiesta.

In mixed conditions, Kubica opened up a small advantage on the two stages of the opening evening, but the Pole fell behind during Saturday, not helped by a tyre choice that he felt was too hard.

Having started the final day seven seconds behind Rossi, he won both of Sunday's stages - the final one by 17s - to put the result beyond doubt.

"Getting the tyre choice right was one of the biggest challenges," said Kubica, who was partnered by Italian co-driver Alessandra Benedetti.

"Because the conditions were changing all the time and never the same on different parts of the track, it was often hard to know what to do.

"On the final stage we were on the same tyres as Valentino and I saw at our first split that we were already quite a bit faster than him, for some reason he was slower than he had been before.

"So I knew that if we could keep going at the same pace we had a very good chance to win."

Other stars taking part in the Monza-based event included Gymkhana ace Ken Block, who was classified 29th after losing time with a navigational error.

That was four places ahead of 2004 NASCAR Cup champion Kurt Busch, as the American made his rally debut.

Another driver to drop places after completing an extra loop was factory Audi Le Mans racer Marco Bonanomi, who was driving an ex-Marcus Gronholm Ford Focus WRC.

Former Mitsubishi factory World Rally Championship driver Gigi Galli returned to rallying after his World Rallycross appearance earlier this year and finished ninth in a Ford Fiesta RS WRC.

Galli was co-driven by 17-year-old Italian Tamara Molinaro, a Red Bull protege who is currently on a learning programme with the energy drink giant.

The Masters Show - a standalone event run over a single stage at the end of the rally - was also won by Kubica from Rossi, in heavy rain.

Cricket Australia announces summer Test dates


Cricket Australia has announced the dates for the summer Test series following the death of cricketer Phillip Hughes.

9NEWS can reveal the order and dates of the Tests:

• Adelaide December 9

• Brisbane December 17

• Melbourne December 26

• Sydney January 6.

The Test was due to start in Brisbane on Friday, two days after Hughes' funeral in his hometown of Macksville.

The Indian cricket team has waited patiently to hear about the dates following news of Hughes' tragic death last week.

thought about a self propelled mower?

or build a nice big shed, cut down on the amount of grass.

:mamoru:

self propelled would take me about 6 hours lol
and thats just for around the house, john deere takes me about 1-2hrs if i do the entire track.

You use a mower to get around the house? Man, you ARE lazy!

Marussia cars and team equipment put up for auction

The physical assets of the failed Marussia Formula One team, including cars and factory equipment, have been put up for auction by administrators.

Auctioneers CA Global Partners, acting for administrators FRP advisory, posted details on their website (cal.cagp.com/event/marussia) of an auction scheduled for Dec. 16 and 17 following the closure of the team's Banbury headquarters.

The sale includes race cars, without the engines which have gone back to Ferrari, the team's trucks and race equipment, spare parts as well as corporate offices, machine shop and computer servers.

Marussia missed the last three races of the 2014 season after ceasing trading and making all of their 200 staff redundant.

The team had British driver Max Chilton and Frenchman Jules Bianchi as their lineup this season, with the latter scoring their first and only points before suffering brain injuries in a Japanese Grand Prix crash.

Bianchi remains in hospital in France in a stable but critical condition.

Rivals Caterham also went into administration at the same time as Marussia but competed in the final Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and are still hoping to find a buyer to continue in the sport.

Shuffs,what was the name of the place?

A long list of sex acts just got banned in UK porn


Pornography produced in the UK was quietly censored today through an amendment to the 2003 Communications Act, and the measures appear to take aim at female pleasure.

The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 requires that video-on-demand (VoD) online porn now adhere to the same guidelines laid out for DVD sex shop-type porn by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC).

Seemingly arbitrarily deciding what is nice sex and what is not nice sex, the board has banned the following acts from being depicted by British pornography producers:

Spanking

Caning

Aggressive whipping

Penetration by any object "associated with violence"

Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)

Urolagnia (known as "water sports")

Female ejaculation

Strangulation

Facesitting

Fisting

The final three listed fall under acts the BBFC views as potentially "life-endangering".

While the measures won't stop people from viewing whatever genre of porn they desire from abroad, they do impose severe restrictions on content created in the UK, and appear to make no distinction between consensual and non-consensual practices between adults.

"There appear to be no rational explanations for most of the R18 rules," Jerry Barnett of the anti-censorship group Sex and Censorship told Vice UK. "They're simply a set of moral judgements designed by people who have struggled endlessly to stop the British people from watching pornography."

More worryingly, the amendment seems to take issue with acts from which women traditionally derive pleasure.

"The new legislation is absurd and surreal," Itziar Bilbao Urrutia, a dominatrix who produces porn with a feminist theme added to Vice UK. "I mean, why ban facesitting? What's so dangerous about it? It's a harmless activity that most femdom performers, myself included, do fully dressed anyway. Its power is symbolic: woman on top, unattainable."
