Used to work with a lad and part of his party piece was doing flipper impressions. Wonder is he down in Kerry now 🀔

Used to be a great smell off the old money. Don’t seem to be the same off the euros at all.

I know it's a terrible predicament to be in and all.

But there's some seriously cheap weddings going on atm.
Registry office and not even family there and no afters.

It might not be an ideal wedding for some but there's others could be thanking their lucky stars.

Especially nowadays a lot of the weddings are lasting longer than the marriage, makes a big wedding look a right waste

Must be a serious amount of businesses out of pocket with the no wedding or smaller weddings. Bands, photographers, etc

I'd say a lot of people have re evaluated their priorities atm.

Second hand car sales seem to be up, going by a local car dealer. People seem to have more money with it not being spent on socializing.

River Cottage Australia came on today while I was minding the young fella. There was a shot with hens in it, so I say "What do we get from hens?" With huge enthusiasm and a big smile "Moneeyyyyy!" :pac: He's getting the idea!

If he were foolish enough to listen to the likes of Teagasc or someone maybe, but at 2.5 he's smarter than that

My policy is not to engage with head cases like vegans. Will just drive yourself mad.

Farmers have it arseways about vegans, they should be encouraged. There are way more ex-vegans in the world than vegans. Arguing with them is like pulling a plaster off slowly.

Didn't she get a mulcher 🙄

Bad habit keeping stuff in pockets, new DOE disc very nearly went into the wash in a fleece.

MCDonnells Fermoy have value offers for the next two weeks. They normally do a month sale but I'd say most of these outlets have had a great year of sales.

I think there is some good value there. The Jefferson Genny is listed at €1425.
Probably get the Condon feed barriers. Just have a single bar over butt wall and they pull in a fair bit of silage.

What's this now with the clocking hen and horseshoe in thunder?
I was always told thunder ruins the eggs.
I've hatched enough now though to know that it makes not the slightest bit of difference.
I have a dim memory of my granny doing something similar but it's dim an distant!

Something to do with the drop in air pressure? could make them membranes come off the shell wall?

I've not posted there in ages actually!! I got sense. These days I just bash my head off the wall.

That’s a great show, I really enjoy it. I’d love to have time to try a few things- when the lads are out of nappies maybe

Thanks. Stayed out of there for a long while lol.. But enough is enough. That 'dziry = cruelty' thread has been bizarrely running there without interruption for some time now and still going. I asked if a "vegan diet = cruelty to children" thread would also be OK or in anyway representative. No reply to that suggestion funnily enough. Seems its OK for some there to spread hate and propaganda against farming and farmers. But anyone replying to that type of rubbish is 'anti-vegan'. :rolleyes:

One of our Angus bulls had a pig tail post wrapped in his ring this morning
