Heard today about a bunch of lads heading to Galway for a stag night. One fellow said he would travel under his own steam because he had a load to pick up with the truck the next day in Galway somewhere.
Disappeared about midnight, and didn't reappear till near 3am, covered in dirt.
Next morning, the lads saw he had a load of sheep in the truck :eek:

Reminds me of the time last year when about 6 lads heading back from the local. A few lads well on it and usual messing. Squad car pulls up and yer driving goes the usual 'where are ye from lads?'. Young Ban Garda in the passenger seat and as soon as the lads spot her all over to the window. She was just laughing away.:D

Was it the handcuffs, the uniform or what attracted yous to the Ban garda.

If you had been arrested would she of been able to make it stand up in court:D

Went looking at cattle today on rented ground, calf missing, found down under a bush with pneumonia, had to go home and get jeep and box to realise the insurance is out two days on jeep, so 12ft I for on the car and away, (my poor clutch) , then had to put calf in wheelbarrow and pull him up a nice bit of a brow to flat part where car parked, home now and exhausted, I think I deserve pints tonight

Anyone using a 2wd tractor and front loader for round bales. Thinking of getting one for putting bales out in a winterage. Some lads are telling me that the 2wd will break my heart with front bearings going etc. Tks.

That's it. I should really get a few hours after a duty but I always get the second wind by the time I get home and can't even entertain the bed on a fine day like today. Will die a death later on tho

Its grand on concrete or dry level ground but if you start sinking and start hitting rocks you will pop out the wheel fairly quick.

And always on a sunday morning at the most akward spot to fix.

If there is a roadway of some sort you will be ok but 3/4t at the end of the loader will put a lot of pressure on the front wheels on uneven ground.

Our 7 year old daughter made oh a card . Priceless, she had to describe her daddy and why he is special. When asked what she likes doing wit him she answers bringing in the cows, and what he likes doing she answers-feeding calves. Teaches must think we're odd!

Oh I think in the scale of what teachers hear that's fairly harmless.

My mam used to say that teachers only had the news in the morning so they could hear all the scandals and goings on in everyone's house.
