We went a few years ago when the kids won some art competition and the posters were being shown in one of the pavilions but there was more there than I would have thought for a day at the horses.

Not going to post this in the strike thread.

But maybe an idea for it is to limit the posters to 5 posts allowed per poster per day while the strike is going on.
It's not beyond the forums limits especially since rules and limits were imposed in the Kerry shares thread.

Seemingly so. Mods had to set up a caravan and all in it.

There was a time limit and post limit on boards before you could post in it.

Well how's things? any strange yourself.
Any strange grazing mixtures sown?

Let me guess.

Spray off with round-up.
Plough, till, level and sow and roll or..
Power harrow and then spread grass and clover and roll. And spray with post emergence spray for dock control.
Not forgetting the 3 bags of 10.10.20, 2t of lime and bag of nitrogen at green up.

Giving two options like that would only confuse farmers.

Not quite. Most important thing is letting the spray work for 3 weeks. Biggest issue they found was lads not letting the spray do its work. Lads would start work 10 or 14 days after spraying which would not have gotten down to the root properly

Not practical, we'd have to manually count posts in a thread than could be fast moving at times.

The situation in the Kerry Shares thread was a last resort in response to to an ongoing problem. It wasn't something we wanted to impose and we don't want to have to again.
The situation in the Strike thread is easily sorted ... if...
You ignore the bait and walk away from the agitation, and,
Mods hold posters to the normal standards expected.


There are going to be dissenting opinions. As long as they've civilly expressed and responded to, there isn' t a problem.

Is there not some boards algorithm that could...never mind.

To some progress is shouting down the opposition and calling them losers, bullying, get real and responding to every single thread that goes against their grain and is protected by the powers that be for the sole sake of being a different voice.

I'd just thought the 5 posts idea was a good one. It'd give the thread a chance to get the opinions of lesser posters who might be intimidated by the constant posting of a few and if you couldn't get your point across in 5 posts then God help you, your motivation is just to win as your handle suggested.

No problem with shelter, Atkins farm machinery have brought a few extra cow boxes to the gates of abp in bandon this evening. Decent honourable people at Atkins. Always found them very good to deal with.

One of the "exercises" we had to do was for both of us to hold onto the biro, and without discussion draw the house we would like.
I took control and drew a rectangle about two inches wide, by three inches tall.
"Thats a very small house", she cried.
"Thats the bloody front door" I replied!
We were told to "settle down" ....

I had the same preconceptions. Go with open mind with be my advice. Some good practical stuff in it. If nothing else it'll make ye talk about stuff that ye may not have addressed before.

Try to enjoy, cos it’s a long day otherwise
There was a guy on ours who sulked the whole time, reckoned it took forever while the rest made most had a laugh & time flew.

Always think of lad at work where a couple split up at his course.
Counselor asked each couple on family thoughts, 1 couple had never discussed 1 wanted & other didn’t

There's a myriad of ways to reseed.
Each dictated by the land and farmer.
If you're correct the sward will grow. If not it won't.

When they did the list at the beginning of the positive things marriage brings, I said consolidation of tax credits.

At the end, the priest said, turn to the person beside you and say tell them you love them. The guy to my left said thanks but he didn’t think the church was that advanced.

Enjoy it.
