Milk recorder rang this morning just as i was starting milking. She had come across an accident and would be late. 2 lads failed to make it round a round about. She said the car smelt like a brewery . One of them couldnt move. Glad it was just themselves that where injured and not some poor unfortunate on the road

Small miracle there

Where about is this?? Anyone any tips where to buy petrol to make sure you get petrol? There was me thinking if I bought a petrol car id be safe from all that crap, probably better trying to run green in an auld van.

If you bought your petrol in the same place the whole time and kept receipts would you have a case?

A branded name eg texaco or topaz and keep receipts a buddy of mine got dipped recently and was told he was using green diesel which he denied and couldn't figure it out.he retraced hie steps and remembered buying diesel in a place he never use only he had the receipt he was up ****s creek

Not true I have receipts for all my diesel fill ups and when I hit the watered down diesel I had filled up in only two well known branded stations in the last few months as they were on my way to work so were handy.

This is true a few cents cheaper against new injectors worth a few hundred

Were people get caught out is buying from places that have the old signs up and they don't deal with those companies anymore so they buy of any supplier while there waiting to get the signs removed from the garage.So any unsuspecting person thinks he is buying statoil diesel were as it's probably some ****e that's been doctored.

My local Texaco turned into a topaz over night! Did see a topaz truck at it a few weeks before that and I swear the last petrol I got there went through her a bit quicker but that's probably psychological!

Man near here bought a bull recently, but ever since he has been acting a bit of an escape artist and won't stay in the patch of land he's supposed to..... Father came back this morning and couldn't stop laughing.

The bulls name? Hitler.....:pac:

Would Leitrim ladies be an example of an oxymoron in the same way as us Cavanites have been known to say that someone is awful good etc

Questions guys, anyone ever bought a large water tank? I'm talking 30000 litre? What sort would something this size be and where would one get one!?

Never thought of that, could work thanks.

Looked online and the biggest I can see is 10000 litre for a plastic one, unless I want to import from nz!! Can get a 30000 one for €2000 over there and it would do me perfectly!

Have a couple of carbon fibre (i presume) liquid fert tanks that go to 45m3 or 45k/lts? supplied by the company though so not sure of price... Would take water though!
Also 2 20k/lt black plastic tanks for water for sprayer. Will look up the brand if you want, though being in Uk wouldn't be sure of availibility i suppose. Probably cheaper than from Nz and atleast!! Have clarified can get large tanks in Western Europe if thats any help :pac:

or you could get a few ibc tanks, if you had 10 of them that would be 11000 litres, and the ibc tanks are only 30-50 euro a piece, easier to transport too !!!

Might be worth dropping an email to EPS if you're looking for a tank that size... I know that they supply most of the water treatment plants in the country with tanks of all shapes and sizes... Can't say I've ever bought one so I wouldn't have a clue about pricing, but we have a few of them around the farm that we picked up because treatment plants were being upgraded, and they are certainly built to last...

That's Patsy, Cars and Cows. Though in recent years the younger generation were involved.

awful pity, toyota was always a car that sold itself didnt need a salesperson, they thrived on that and got a bit too big for their boots, 2 massive showrooms built, that must have cost a bomb

Tractor finally back on the road. THANK GOD. was lost without it this past week

That 55000 could be interesting thanks, as for the it's thought of that but id need twenty! Seem to be a very cheap way of doing it though.

See i want to be able to suck out of this tank with a slurry tanker so ibc's might be a bit fiddly.

Didn't pick them up secondhand unfortunately, got them through work. Was asked to dispose of them during an overhaul, so I disposed of two of them behind the hay shed at home ;-)

Still might be worth calling the though to get an idea of the kind of money you're talking about over here.

I never minded the Cranefly, but the Devil's Coach-Horse always sorta freaked me out. Under the bottom bales in stacks of hay they used to hang out.
