I saw some (insert word..) driving a transit van with two bales of silage on the roof this evening passing the farm.

You'd have to wonder who was worse, the (insert word) driving, willing to endanger themselves and everyone else on the road or the (insert word) who loaded the bales onto the transit?

Nothing I've ever seen before nor would want to see again.

:eek: Wouldn't want to be a bendy road

I've seen bales put inside a transit, I wonder had he 4?

Looks like he flew directly over my yard as well, I hope he was looking the other way at that stage!

Don't suppose you know how long that flight was and what type of plane it was?

carrollsno1 · 25-04-2021 10:43pm

Any reccomendations on product to lay around the house to keep cats at bay?

He was checking to make sure that every vaccinated person was at their registered address. The 5G masts that were supposed to be detecting the chip in the vaccine are not up running yet so they have to do it by plane.

My neighbour accuses me of killing their cats with our poisoned rats. My own opinion is that they're dying because they're in bred, they often had twenty cats over there.
Our two yards join so toxovax in our ewes is essential

No cats here anymore. They died out. Last one would sit on the kitchen window. If you opened it she jumped in.

Hose them with water a couple of times and they should stay away.

There is a long haired black cat in the farmyard. He knows when there are mice in the hay that he can't get at. He will follow you around when the hay is being fed out, waiting to pounce on them.

Does anyone know if parasitic wasps are available in Ireland as a method of fly control?

Weve a cat here that must be 15. The mothers aunt had her when she lived with us before she died 10 yrs ago. Cat was always wild but would appear for food. She has taken a liking for the missus and will let her rub her etc.

We’ve two here and they are a godsend.
They are mad to get into the house at every opportunity, youngest brings them on when she’s here on her own, I don’t really mind but I won’t tell her that.

Probably was.

Social media really brings out the intellect in people.

Point being I've read posts elsewhere blaming the mountain and national park fires on overgrazing.

Maybe if people think first about the physics of that first before posting and not let their hatred of livestock farming cloud their every thought we might get somewhere.

It's California and Australia all over again except this time it's straight off the bat.

World's phucked! And these are college educated people.

Maybe if there were goats with bells and social media profiles describing how they are fire prevention officers there might be another tune..

Could be worse. I though it was checking to see if we were working on Sunday.

Sand paper on window sills will deter cats hopping up there.
