I'm no expert but I'm fairly certain that tyre on the right is over-inflated compared to the one on the left. Let a good bit out of it and drive on.

Ha, the threads on the arm of the tractor gave way last night whilst drawing in bales so pulled off the lifter and headed to the workshop to weld it in place. With the welding mask on i didn't realise until i tipped it up to inspect my guntering weld that there was flames leaping up the back of the tractor. I had been topping grass a few days beforehand and obviously it had dried out in under the pick up hitch and a weld had fallen onto it and set the whole thing alight. talk about a panic and not able to find a bucket when you need one. Kept the water hose running beside me after that....

How did the cattle get in?

Not really sure. There is a road running along the back of the golf course and I think there an entrance of some sort down there. Think there is a gate on it but I don't know for sure. My tee shots hit the middle of the fairway every time so I have no need to go wandering around the course!!

The cattle were 'out of bounds'.

You'd imagine though with all the money the golf course is worth that all boundaries would be totally stock proof

They will be now I'd say. Some bill on the way for the owner of the cattle.

They had children at the "right" school, and some good friends on the committee..

would it be the farmers insurance or the golf clubs insurance- if a gate was left open onto the grounds surely that was the golf clubs fault?

There's no proper fence around the course you can walk onto it from most sides

Farmers insurance afaik.

Farmers are responsible for keeping their stock from straying so his insurance will have to cover it.

That breed of clown bought a house/site in the sticks during the Celtic Tiger in order to prove to his co-workers/family how successful he had become and reckons he can now dictate our working hours :rolleyes:
Give him a break, he is probably up to his neck in debt and has to take it out on the locals.

Nah, he's only half serious.

Sounds bored and posting the first thing that comes into his head.

25 or 30 acres of heavy ground would fill up his time nicely, I think:)

Mowing the lawn earlier and I was eaten alive by horseflies or "cleggs" as they are sometimes called round these parts, damn sore.

Clags and horseflies ain't the same thing. I know when a clag munches on me as I get a raised bump on my skin after a few minutes. If I am unfortunate to scratch it then I end up suffering for several days. Feckers bite me through my clothes.
Whatever you do don't scratch it.

Maybe I'll start calling them warble flies just to confuse everyone
Very satisfying to catch a cleg just biting your arm/leg and smack them to hear the crunch.
