Agree totally, hate seeing machines restored to better than original spec and then never used again.

Ah dad loves his vintage tractors-they would have got use and he used to love bringing them on the rallies as well but he's not allowed really drive anymore so that's gone. I'm not a huge fan but I'm not into machinery so now they are kinda sitting there. However I just turned the hay with the new(1996!!)tractor-and it has a button to pull up and down the hydraulics as I turn-I got v excited....didn't break that one lol!

Our local village had a big vintage rally and one lad used to man a tow along hay turner while another lad was drawing it with a tractor. I wonder is there any solution to involve him even one day?

Say my name

I see a water pump installer is getting some attention on Facebook because his surname is Flood.

I was just thinking I know a sawmill owner whose surname is Forristal.

Any other good ones?

TBH up until around 6 weeks ago he wouldn't have been able for it but he's doing really well at the moment and I saw him messing with the injector something's on Sunday on the fordson major so he's getting a bit of a spark back about it. He went with a friend of his to one locally as well which he hasn't done in ages. Hopefully he'll be able to take his tractor Sunday drive again soon and I must talk to a friend of his about getting the thrasher ready for the local day out and see if we can do anything!! It's a hobby I'd love to see him keep even thou I've no interest. And when he annoys me I can threaten to put the whole lot on donedeal (he knows it's a idle threat!!) to make him behave!!

The general manager of Irish Water is Eamon Gallen.

There is a Belgian soccer player called Mark De Mann.
And if you thought Arsne Wenger managing Arsenal was appropriate it pales into insignificance when you see that a German, Wolfgang Wolff was manager at Wolfsburg

They might have a hologram of the dead half like what they do with an Elvis or joe Dolan concert.
Or like the film A weekend at Bernie’s

Is the marriage not technically over once the person dies?

Til death do us part

There's a few family members there in denial. When did the other half die?

I would say that if denial helps with bereavement, so be it. Each to their own. You have to be standing in that person's shoes to know. None of us want to be there

Yup definitely each to their own. I have never heard of it before so was just wondering is it a new thing
