In the latest installment of my increasingly desperate efforts to convince you that I'm still alive, here is a piece of news recycled from a previous blog I once owned.
Wednesday , June 26, 2002
Well, I'm sure that by now you're all just gagging to find out all the news from the Farmer's Guide Inventive Farmer Competition 2002. Well tough. I'm not going to tell you all the news, but I can tell you that third prize went to Stephen Saunderson of Maple Avenue, Heybridge, in Maldon, Essex. Stephen invented a gadget to provide access to awkwardly placed grease nipples! Imagine a couple of bits of pipe stuck to a pencil and shoved on a bird table and you'll have a pretty good idea what an Awkward Grease Nipple Access Provider looks like.

Hope you enjoyed that. I now return you to the present.
