Home from the ploughing, spent feck all besides on food (by the way, angus beef is so far superior to limo beef it just isn't funny). Came away with three money making ideas, so happy out. Got seriously busy - walked on - from 10am onwards. If you've serious business to do there tomorrow, go first thing and get it done early.

The crowd at the Hereford grub stall must have known me by name by the time I had my last ciabatta. Got a few vouchers so made good use of them, after the first one I then headed over to the Agriking stand were it would have being ignornant of me to refuse the steak roll I was offered:D.

All day lads off where said you passed and didn't call in.:o

Sure I could have done you a deal:D

I will give you a crack at them when I have my current fellow put out of business:D.

In all seriousness I dont like enquiring about someones product etc on a stand only if I have a fair interest in dealing for it. It unfair on the guys on the stands as your paying big money for the spot and wasting there time. If you were free when I was passing then I would have dropped in. Guys on nearly all the slat mat stands had no interest in talking to me. Tough on them as I had a serious interest on doing a good shot of pens. Guys from comfort mats were over like a flash and gave me the no bull**** price and take it from there.

Lakill did you get anychoice about your location? would it cost more to be down where the real serious farming stands were. Cant remember who was beside you

bob charles

Actually Lakill you should have given us your first name as I would count myself dodgie going into your stand and asking your business partner are you the man I know from the internet:D:D Bet your business partner thinks your living a double life after all these men coming in looking for the man on the internet

ah so I saw Lakill, and not the business partner, unless she has a very tight haircut :rolleyes:, she must be ideal for making the tea:D:D

Lakill, never got to you today as the a couple of kids took up the majority of my day. Hope the investment in the stand pays off for you.

Ah I don't think lakill's business partner misses much to be fair

Was over yesterday and had a good chat with Sonja, unfortunately lakill himself was busy although I must have passed the stand about 5 times given the way things went :rolleyes:

Like Bob, I'd only be a time waster for now and I'm sure you had bigger fish to fry.

Must have been Bob they were talking about on the HE stand - that big lad from the Mid West coming in for his tenth roll with a hungover head on him

Will a hardware or a co-op split a roll of water piping? I need 10m of 3/4" water pipe. Would hate to have to buy the whole roll for such a small amount!

Tractor motors in cavan will. Don't think it's over euro a metre
