Use both, not found 100% of the knack for finding info on it yet but I've read and seen a load of helpful things. I don't get the idea how a person must either use one, or the other, there are different people on all sites and it's useful I think to have a presence on as many as interest an individual.

Why the shift to twitter lads and lassies. Do people find it better than boards or what...

Is a shame to lose some good people. Found the above people all very informative and helpful.

You must be early 20s if you know what tinder is kovu?

Doubt a lot of people on here heard of it, it's a dating site that you either give a person a vote to show interest or not, and if they also have interest ya go from there

I'll accept that age. Close enough;) Back to the twitter discussion earlier though, I can't figure it out at all. Although I haven't really tried very hard.
Anonymity here though doesn't really bother me too much. Some of ye have me sussed! Although I don't think I would ever give out my full name or use it as my username.

Signed up for twitter a good while ago and never went near it since and don't think I will be either, I'm sure there's some people have me sussed too not that I'm saying anything bad on this anyway, do like keeping my business to myself all the same, any nosey hoors that do be mad for getting info out if me do be left either with lies or a play dumb answer, a lad came up to me lately and asked me did I rent land near him I told him no I went to €320/ac on it and didn't get it, he didn't know whether to believe me or not and moved on with himself I wasn't on the land anyway

Yup

On another social media.
I use Pintrest from time to time. There nothing farming on it but great for DIY and crafty stuff, art ideas for the kids. All photo based and no idle chat which is great.
We're planning an overhaul for the girls bedroom and there are some great ideas on it to take from.

Have a couple here the same. Always remind me of this song when I see them do it.

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Chorus
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

Actually what I call surfing for farmers is slightly different, it involves pulling out a dead cow along a slatted passage where the slats are full up over the top:D

Must say v disappointed that Delaval and Bob seem to have checked out, especially as Del has closed his account. Those two would've been two of my favourite opinion givers. Always wondered as both of them seem to be running large operations how they had time to participate in so many f+f discussions. Anyways here's hoping as it's such a busy time of yr they might both return when things quiten down. Input from the like of those two is what makes this such an interesting site, they would be sorely missed

Facebook is awful, but I am not in first flush of youth and think Twitter is the biz! @patquirke for anyone interested. have a good Farmers list if anyone wants to follow the list, rather than the individuals.
boards is very good too, but in a different way. Loads of knowledge on both.
