# That's true
I've been shot at by farmers too. Twice in fact.

# To be fair,
I probably invited it, as I had a bit of a habit of destroying their property for fun. But that's no reason to shoot me, is it?

# Did you grow up
in East Anglia?

# Yorkshire.
Rural bit though. Nothing to do except set fire to hillsides and abandonned cars. Ace fun.

# Ahhh, yorkshire
Funnily enough that happens in the urban bits as well.

Well, in Bradford anyway

# Did you set fire to round bails?
And roll them down hills?

Is it a b3ta thing to be shot at by farmers? I was shot at in a pheasant pen.

# We burnt
about 3 acres of hillside once. But it was an accident, and it wasn't proper farmland, it was all bracken and junk and rocks. Felt a bit bad about that one...
Never burnt bales though.

# It's kind of satisfying,
but you have to keep up with them - deosn't look good if they roll through the village in flames with you running after it. Not that that ever happened to me.

We were once playing with matches in a barn, which burnt down a few hours later. Felt bad about that one. A few singed bails never hurt anyone, though.

# Actually, I tell a lie, we did burn bales.
Our local farmer used square bales. We used to use them to start fires with, but we burnt pallettes and stuff like that on top.

# It's a bit harsh
The first time I was only about 6 and was taking a short cut with my big sisters. We weren't even scrumping.

# I was about 9 and walking on
a public footpath with my 75 year old grandma. To be fair, he didn't really aim to kill us, just scare us shitless.
<voice of unreason>I hate farmers. Whingeing tory bastards.</unreason>

# you never told me you were SHOT AT!!
Right, next time we go up there I'll find him (or his next of kin if necessary) and whup his right-wing foxhunting ARSE.

# I'm sure I told you that story.
He wasn't one of the foxhunting ones though. I think he just hated people in general.

# I don't CARE.
I'm going to FIND HIM, and then I'm going to HURT HIM.

You don't mess with MY tomsk and get away with it, all right?

# Always complaining
about having no money as they drive around in mercs and bmw's and living in big houses. And scaring little kids with their guns. Evil they are.

# The other time I was a student
and a crowd of us went camping in the Mourne Mountains. A farmers son who we met in a pub said we could camp on his land, but he negleted to tell his dad who thought we were some sort of terrorists using his land as a training camp. Oh how we all laughed when it was sorted out.
