A lot would have regular buyers for autumn born calves. Numbers are dropping as well. Your local haulier may know of some perhaps

Could you get a couple of rachet straps around it, might stabilize it for you.

I have it, I have it..... What you need Base is Rachet straps , silage tape and silage wrap.

Wrap the bejaysus outta it with them all. Hang a sprig of holly over it and rub on a bit of burnt oil .

The jobs a good un! :=)

We successfully got the bag into a shed. We wrapped a hessian type bag around the puncture on the fert bag and strapped it in place with a ratchet strap.

I suppose the fertiliser in the area of the puncture will form a lump and stick together. Hopefully it's not too big.

Were did you hear I was getting it for free. It's little use to us as we haven't used artificial fert on the farm for years with the exception of planting the wbc.

The neighbour will use it next year if it's ok.

We've never managed to keep urea from going solid over the winter. We normally just bring it down to the slats after agitation in April and cut it there and drive over it to push it in.

No worries. The neighbour said he had no use for it as he had all his slurry out. That doesn't automatically translate into me having it for nothing cause the neighbour expected to use it next year. At the end of the day I burst the bag whilst it was in my care and I have to take responsibility for that.

Watching the late late show for a change. Young lad on show casing Cotters Organic Lamb. Sold it very well - Grass fed, gentle on the environment and uses the wool to pack the product when shipping it. Impressive, great to see only 19 years of age.

It's a credit to the cotter boys but their dad is a character and a business man to the core so I'd say he made it alot easier for them.

Most will be ok, Base, but there will be lumps wherever air or water can get in. I always find the base of the bag being a big lump of a bag or more even if off the ground on a pallet.

Castro was a clearly a Giant among global leaders; disagree with his politics all you want eg. Kim Jong Un/Mandela/Arafat Etc. are/were all giants on the world stage. The regime Castro took on and the Cold war etc. ensured his place in history. That is irrefutable.


Link/source for that?


Nothing wrong with giving interviews. If that was the case no news outlet would be permitted to interview him/ Any president.



Well now you clearly don't know what your talking about.
Lets say, for the sake of this discussion, that your faux outrage at MDH over not remaining apolitical was genuine; your support for Peter Casey should evaporate. Here was a presidential candidate openly campaigning and commenting on a subject he (a) would have no platform to speak on (b) shouldn't be telling government what they should/shouldn't do (c) Used racism as a dog whistle to garner votes from easily impressionable voters because he could offer nothing else.

I'll put my next months income on, that you not having uttered a word or passed a remark about Peter Casey intending to abuse the Presidential office.

Aside from this, and without a link to MDH's comments, It's not clear if you understand what "Apolitical" means in relation to the presidents role and what he can/cannot say.


So you said above he "gave" an interview...but because it was a communist one and it suits your argument, he was "lapping it up"...:rolleyes:



I have friends who vote Sinn Fein (and I assume you/others here may well have also) Do we discard our friends post how they vote etc? Nonsense.

MDH ran as a FF/labour politician, never as part of the Communist Party; Your original claim of "Irelands biggest Communist" etc. is tripe.

All you've done is again prove my original point (which you completely missed) In a two party system the US operate, a common theme is not to explain/defend your own position, it's to point at the opposition and label them as worse (biggest communist ) in an effort to validate your own sides antics and people excusing repulsive behaviour.

For the life of me I don’t know why you keep bringing up Peter Casey, I don’t give 1 damn about Peter Casey. If it makes you feel any better I didn’t vote for Casey, I have no idea why you keep mentioning him. He’s a political nobody

On Higgins - <MODSNIP> it is completely obvious when you look at his political “hero’s” which ideology Higgins belongs to, and he doesn’t even try to hide it, it’s not like you need to be an undercover CIA agent to see it

But then again maybe you are of the same political persuasion as Michael D yourself, I don’t know and don’t really care, but it might explain why you can’t see what is blatantly obvious

It's a largely ceremonial role, and it's not like the President can bring forward primary legislation, so I think he has been a safe enough "pair of hands" in the role.
Lost respect for him a bit when he went for the second term, having strenuously pronounced he would be a "1 term" candidate.
Anyway, do you really think Sean Gallagher, Dana, Martin McGuinness or David Norris could have lasted 7 years without some Constitutional crisis overtaking them?

He will be a massive help on the Irish side for Brexit. Biden is something neither Boris or Nigel wanted to happen.

He might not be great for Irish workers in U.S. companies here.
It could be a message of concern to appeal to his good side on RTE news.
They said Biden the politian and Biden the president could be two different people.
The fear is he will try his best to get those companies back to the U.S.

Trump has business interests here and across Europe. He made noises but never followed it through.

Biden doesn't. He is also on record backing AOCs green new deal bolloxolgy which is basically the socialists and the greens in bed together going at it like rabbits - if you know what I mean ...
