The whole scammer thing has worked out well.

I only answer now to numbers I already have in my phone, and even then not always. Anyone genuine can leave a message.

Number I didn’t recognise rang today and I let it go, left a message it was courier so I called him back.

I use the block unknown numbers feature on the phone. Can't be bothered with eejits tbh.

We have a Spanish student here atm and I'm sore from laughing this evening. We were playing connect 4 and started playing for a bar of chocolate and the arguments started soon after the chocolate became the prize. Herself and the youngest lad were in the final and the cheating by the two was gas.

I don't know how I ended up owing a chocolate bar:D

Can’t believe 20 years later they still haven’t sorted out the school uniforms. On the news again, exorbitant prices for a jumper.

You're in Tipp I think.
I'm in Wx.
Further east and maybe south with a mountain range blocking sunlight means darky times for me.

The further west but more especially north will stretch summer evening times. Donegal this time of year would be great.

I know the prices are crazy but the jumper is worn every day at school. If there was a no uniform policy it would cost a lot more for parents for other clothes.

I don't think the argument is against uniforms, just a call for generic cheaper ones with no crests.

I was a disaster for school uniforms. Used get wrecked playing soccer.

I do think there should be a school jumper with a crest, when at events or on school trips, it helps identify.

But the price is crazy. I can’t figure out why schools don’t but iron on crests like the embroidered badges you are at flea markets. I reckon you’d get them in bulk for handy money.

I ordered school jackets before and i thinks the crest was €2 to get put on.

Had a student before who used but generic jumper from Dunnes and carefully cut out the school crest off an old jumper and sewed it onto the cheap jumper. I didn’t notice for years but it probably saved €20 a jumper.

Had a guy here this year stacking bales with the soft hands grap. I left a plastic bag with a roll of tape and a rag for cleaning them up on the trailer. Anyway, bag disappeared. Realised after a while what happened and sure enough, there it was down between the bales, which were stacked on the flat side.
I went head first down between the bales to get it back. I had one hand up on the bale and the other reaching down. Scary stuff. So easy get caught out.
Maybe something similar happned to that poor man.

How do you get around this - leave a bigger gap between the rows? Didn't someone on here say that a safety inspector mentioned it on a farm inspection.

Yes, that was me. Had the Inspector last year and that's what he told me. I had two lots of silage bales - gathered by different lads. One lot had almost no space between them and the other had a fairly good space, enough in some places that a man could squeeze between them at a pinch. The Inspector told me that was the better way to do them as it would give someone a chance to get out. I asked the lads this year to leave a bit of space. I cannot imagine any reason I'd need/want to go between the bales but the unexpected necessity can always crop up.
God love that poor man, it would be an awful way to die.

I was putting greese on the top bales this evening. I thought of that man, it truely was an awful way to go.
It very easy could happen and I consider myself very fit.

A friend crawled under the polythene on his silage pit to retrieve his phone, he only got a few yards, once he took the first breath he was dead

Should be ok. Does it look like it might have some freezer burn?

I'm not sure of the name of this plant.
It's a creeper that'll have white trumpet flowers in about a month's time.

But I was in one of the sheds this evening and noticed this bit growing in over the outside wall.



A wisp of straw landed on the plant and it felt that piece of straw and it's tendrils wrapped around the straw.
And people say plants have no brains and can't feel.

They must have a sense of touch anyway.
Plus they have a form of communication.

As intelligent as it might be, it destroyed half of our carrots last year in the drought. Covered the ground and wrapped around them. When it finally rained the carrots couldn’t compete.

Sold a cow to a neighbour a few weeks ago. He wanted to put calves on her. Got a text off him today that she took with the calves. He has called her Rafiki which is swahili for friend. The cow will be very well looked after.
