For luck I got them just in time in another county. I'd say they are all gone in that place now.

Bought a bundle of 95 on Saturday in Fermanagh. 30 year guarantee, supposedly.
Seriously strong creosote smell/layer on them.
Seller said they are waiting for more, but they sell as quick as they can source them.
100mm X 1800mm were 7.25 euro plus VAT.

The organic growers use a 6mm tine harrow for weeding potatoes. The 8mm is no good apparently. 6mm moves and oscillates more.

Ya need the 8mm to stitch in and Rip the grass. A 6mm is too light but it suits weeding better

They're not the job I think, I should've bought a powered machine, seed is too prone to drought, would've got a reasonable powered machine for the same money.
If I had the ten acres reseeded and it grew at the same rate as this reseed they're wouldn't be a hope of the 200 sheep keeping the grass under control

Was at croker today Limerick left it too long to get going but in fairness played with real character. Some of our top lads disappointed and poor wides. That said it's left a sour taste with the 65 at the end we didn't get. Thought the ref didn't give us much but we can't blame him for loosing. Next year only around the corner.

That's what we said and though last year when ye bet us in the final and we looked a million miles away this year. Hard to get the hunger up again for 1 or 2 years after winning an AI. Gavin keeps freshening up things with Dublin as he has the bodies no more than Cody used to do with that exceptional squad he had.

Ref didn't do Tipp any favours, but if you look back at most of those dodgy decisions, he was technically right every time.

Lowrey got a standing ovation last Saturday when he arrived in with the trophy.

I doubt Greg will merit even the standing, never mind the ovation.

25k for over a weeks "work". He deserves a pat on the back any.

TBH first time every watching it and I just can't understand the draw to it.

I seen 2 different women out on the roads driving tractors yesterday. One was bringing in a load of turf behind her TS90 in through a gate to the back of a house. Was a tight enough squeeze in a housing estate to get in. Fine looking turf too wherever she got it. The second women then was pulling out of a field in another NH with a fusion on the back after baling.

I think it's the first time I've seen 2 different women on the one day at the tractor driving, and I don't ever recall seeing one baling before. Fair ****s to the 2 of them. There should be plenty more at it

My OH always drove the tractor and double chop here for the silage and drew grain 10 miles from the combine during the harvest and that was in the 80s.
Hate to admit it but she was a better driver than I was

When my FIL worked on a mine in Australia, they preferred women drivers on the trucks as they were less severe on the clutch and gearbox.

More Irish girls driving water trucks and sucker trucks around Sydneys big projects at the minute, maybe they just have a better nerve than us lads to drive around the city or maybe they can pass the breatho easier. Saying that werl were in the smoko crib last week and everything was calm and relaxing everybody had the head down no work talk it was grand then one of the lady HR drivers came in and would not stop talking about work and whos on what truck doing what job that day a bit of a headwreck so it was.

“Boris Johnson clashes with Irish PM Leo Varadkar over Brexit backstop in first talks“

Headline from Sky News.

Damn that makes me so angry. How bloody hard would it be to show a little respect and call him by his title. He’s our Taoiseach, not our bloody PM. It’s so bloody pathetically condensing of the British to repeatedly do that.

I hope their stupid country is plunged back to the dark ages over their pig headed Brexit and they have to live like the ignorant peasants they really are.

If its for UK - then I don't really mind, maybe its better its translated so everyone knows.

Really, they can’t learn and remember to use one single word that represents the leader of the closest country to them and a huge trading partner ?!

Arse, it’s a constant underhand slight and it’s disgusting that they continue on and on with such petty behaviour.

Ok, now, lets say they have one word - Taoiseach

What about Simon Coveney - what should they call him?

Ah, it doesn't bother me. Am sure lots of places have titles that we use translations for... I think we have bigger issues to be honest...

One of the kids was playing in an under 12 Gaelic play off. Our team put 13 players out at the start. They have been playing 13 a side all year. The other team put out 11. They had plenty of subs. Our manager asked them what the story was and the other manager took out a rule book and we played 11 aside. Thought it was a bad way to start a game. Would it normally be 11 or 13 a side? We won anyway

It's a while now since any of my lads were U12 but I remember in the Go Games format something about 11 a side at a minimum. I think you can play 13 a side if both managers agree.
I expect the reason the opposing team wanted the lower number is to try an field as strong a team as possible.

Off on a few days break- fecking cattle know too.

Was doing a few things and ended up home late and say an owl on an out building. Didn’t get good enough look to identify it. Pretty big.
