i know. Just saw the video of the girl in Mississippi where she broke her neck doing it. Bucket of water dropped from height on her and bucket landed on head full.
her family released the video to raise awareness. It all over FB.
beautiful girl with full life ahead of her. RIP.

its all grand and fun in the right place,
but a farm has work place responsibilites and u need competent people with safe equipment,

accidents dont happen, there is a cause

Oh I know, I wouldn't be happy saying it if I was unsure of competence or equipment. He's an agri contractor and I've never seen him take chances when working, him or his sons.

I did it earlier, have all the access in the world to loader buckets etc but like hell would i use one.. It's about raising money for mnd, not a look how great i am job, but as usual people take it to bloody far. There's already one person dead and a few injured after a tele nose dived with a bucket of water...

What i dont get there is the tele should have had a load monitor and been blaring like hell long before it nose dived

Vintage only? Only half of photos on boards coming up on phone:mad:
Had you many tractors? Have helped out and organised tractor runs in past but noticed numbers down well in recent years. Lovely outing if nice day. We keep to back roads, lanes and usually use some farmers farm roadway as well. Have even crossed fields (with permission).Go different route every year.

Yeah vintage only. It's what the committee wanted. We had 58 tractors. We had 75 last year. The numbers are down every year alright that's because everyone is doing them now and there are too many on during the summer.
yeah we use canal roads and as many back roads as possible on ours aswell.

I got a real sly PM from Dav the head lad off boards on Monday

Seems I was the real reason behind in his words " farm derailment"

anyone want a copy of it sent by PM just like this post.

*** Note if my account is banned as Reggie I sent him a copy he just failed to acknowledge it ***

Excuse me?

I told you to stop derailing that particular thread (the feedback on advertising).

Your insinuation that the staff member in charge of this site calling you on your nonsense is somehow "sly" leaves a hell of a lot to be desired. It was anything but.

For the record, this is what I sent Lakill Farms

Dav wrote:

If you have a problem with our prices you should realise that this is not some sort of small local paper - our site and its reach is bigger than that of all national press (RTÉ being the only exception). If anything our prices are way too low.

We're already allowing you a free advertisement in your sig, that's at our discretion and if this is the sort of gratitude we can expect then why on earth should we bother?

Everyone else seems to be happy to work together to help the Farming community except you with your frankly embarrassing cheap shots and attempts to derail what should be a constructive conversation. Give it a rest, ok?

I sent it as a PM as posting it on the thread would have only continued taking it off-topic. I'm not going to allow you to make this sort of allegation against me at my workplace - I'm sure you wouldn't allow it at yours either.

Bringing this upon here is not helping any one why did u not just pm him?
It looks like you are taking the hole thing way to serious with a comment like the only ones bigger than us is rte.

Traffic was horrendous this morning but I never lost the graw for "progressive" driving in the city
Not a bad day weather wise to be stuck in a office earning some real money but to be honest I kept looking out the window to see if the rain was easing off.
Anyway the good news is that fingers crossed, after a few weeks of monitoring/learning how this company operates, I should be able to do most of my work at home :P
Didn't say which home - NCD or Longford
Although the internet signal is crap in Longford

Lots around here travel up & down everyday / 3 days a week - worst case.
Yes internet is poor, around here for basic, let alone trying to work from home.
Good time for you to catch up on boards & soaps, as no chores to do.
Think all part-time farmers would agree with you about looking out the window, thinking what could be done on the farm, window less office is only solution

A cow called Daisy

Heard bit yesterday about a man that used to 'transport' pigs across the border to collect the subsidy that was available. He was been checked by the customs one time and the customs man asked -as he did regularly- if he could look into the trailer. The truck driver tried to protest a bit but as the two lads knew each other he didn't want to draw to much attention to his load. The customs man looks in trailer and sees 1 sow and about 30 pigs.
"Ah jaysus", he says, "I know damn all about pigs but I do know that a sow has only about 14 teats and so there is no way she could feed those pigs. Sure there must be nearly 30 of them there"
"And what is wrong with that" says yer man "sure my mother had only 2 and she still reared a family of 13.":D
