I saw the headline and stopped there. I want the bowl of flakes to stay where they were put. If he got jail for it I'll survive without reading that particular report.

Am I wrong for thinking I might add a bit more value to my slurry ? Charge people to roll around in the slats over the summer

I was passing a place last Sunday around 730 morning with a young man in charge cows all gathered around paddock entrance. He'd be forgiven usually on the ball but he obviously either scored big time or tied one on. Cows were gone in when I was passing back a few mins later.

How do they do it ? One lad that only started back baling after a break of 10 yrs last year has two brand new balers going this year . He wouldn't have a massive client list either

Base price

Driving on the M3 yesterday I saw a self propelled mower working in fields near Kells/Navan. Never saw one before.

And there isn't, lads like him have invested from elsewhere. I have yet to see any lad at agri-contracting that has not got something else helping pay for it. I have seen a few invest going in and run the machinery down over it lifetime and not be able to repay. Take balers wrappers or and wrappers, tractors slurry equipment etc you would not see 200K tied up in machines. Pay drivers and diesel thanks be to God I say every time I see a new entrant.

I can back this up. I have a little fetishism for machinery and do a little contracting but my off farm job mostly pays for the additions. It's more of a hobby to me and wouldn't like to be trying to make a living off it

Great result there for Limerick hurlers, despite the ref. Marvellous game.

onyerbikepat

Ya, brilliant. Hurling has opened up a bit again. A lot of counties in with a shout now. Not one of Barry kelly's better games alright.

Your not the only one! We went out to watch the boxing match and ended up going for pints in two other towns! Finished up around 4 with no lift home and about 25km from home, we started walking but eventually got a lift with some lads. Twas 5 when I got in the door! Christ above I'm still not right from it!

Tis great for the game even though I didn't think the quality was great today. Waterford were written off last week and limerick the same. Very hard to predict any game at the minute. Galway were run very close by Laois aswell. Can't wait for the 15th to see if our lads hit the ground running!

The head gate. ..... Jesus. Bad luck to the **** that stole it

That's probably in a scrap yard somewhere now

Kovu

Fuppin' grassholes that are low enough to steal things! A head gate to be taken would be very annoying.

The aluminium goals were taken from the GAA pitch beside me last week:mad: We have a milk tanker that's used for drawing water for veg, now have to keep it chained up!

Exciting, tense and some flashes of brilliance, but a fair bit of wrong option taking and downright poor skill execution. Still a massive win for Limerick.
I'm starting to think we're seeing a dip in standards. I think the Cats in their prime would slaughter any of the teams out so far this year.

Oldtree

takes some b*lls to do that, main road and the house was back a bit in plain sight but no one nearby at night, they slipped the van in behind the house and that was all she wrote... if it was my house think I would sit in it until it was built after the first robbin. the scrap area needs some serious legislation imo.
