Its looking increasingly likely the beers are on me the next plant show we are allowed to attend. Thanks for your support guys, hope I don't let you down when it comes to actually operating something in front of the judges

Do you get anything for winning a heat?

 

[Gunners]

Not that I know of, other than a place in the final? I think its a bit unfair they have done a "meet the operator" article on one guy in this heat and not the rest of us? He's obviously favourite

One beer per vote?

I think I need to say now I'd like to see him at 15k votes..... there is a week left and he's over half way there....

You may get your wish - the votes are still rolling in

Definitely odd and makes you wonder about the fairness of the competition.
It looks like the meet the operator thing went well Matthews dropped to third by a bit of a margin

I have said since day 1 It's a advertising stunt. 50K's worth of toys on the line is not going to be randomly given to a piss stained paddy who rocks up and shows that even though he's killed half of his brain off via a mixture of nose sherbet and whiskey he still has better machine control than most new breed operators.

All the Magazines are is a list of adverts randomly bundled up into a palatable format. Plant Journalism is a utter joke with pretty much zero integrity from those that prelude to be journalists...... the reason is pretty simple, manufacturers are paying the bills and letting them play with toys. JCB are hardly likely to let me near anything to make comment on it because I will highlight the negatives as well as the positives If you want to see a journalist unable to say a machine is utter dogshite but absolutely appalled by it's ability look up the Detank Review from earthmovers magazine a few years ago.

The Liebherr Rep for the SW however did give me some stuff.... the Hat is excellent as is the Key Fob and the pens...... If Holts are reading this they best remember I do not have a JCB hat currently and a duffel bag with £50 notes will make me say that there paint has undoubtably improved

It'll be interesting to see how the comp pans out later mind. No offence to @Gunners at all but realistically they are gonna want to be putting machine control onto something bigger than a 2.5 tonner you would think. Still if we can put the cat among the pigeons......

Well there goes your integrity.

Don't worry I'll happily say the JCB machines are the same quality as there hats and fit my head as well as they operate

It's fine I'm sure the campaign manager has something bigger to fit it too
