I was thinking today about the1995 Summer. Can anyone recall was April of '95 very wet? I had it in my head that there was a serious flood that month?

We have less mundane reasons to remember '95, in the Banner.
Perhaps 2013, will be a repeat of both the harvest and the hurling:cool:

The only problem with that thinking is the madman has moved from the pitch to the sideline:rolleyes:

Guys, is it normal to get milk collected in the middle of the night. Passed a farm there recently at around 3am and the milk lorry was in the yard collecting. Maybe a breakdown?

Milkman collects milk at 4am here. Prefer it as there should be no smallies running around the yard

Came across this pic on facebook lads, plenty of people saying it would rot in a pit because its pure hay, just wondering if it would? Imagine it would be very hard to pack alright.

We wrapped stuff as dry as that on saturday, and we have often wrapped stuff as dry in the past. It'll come out the exact same as it went in. ie. Almost hay. It won't rot and won't heat. There will be no mould either. Would have taken hay, but have no storage for it. Don't know how it would perform in a pit, as you say, it could be hard rolled, but the fact that it is chopped short could make rolling easier? I'm sure it'll be good enough of stuff!

I thought it should be alright myself considering the way they made trams years ago and there was no problems with preservation.
