    I've a trailer of turf emptied since and heading into shower now and we'll head to Castlebar to watch us get slaughtered in the rain!😢

    So i'm afraid I won't be going anywhere this evening.

    Apparently that guy brings cattle to Kildare chilling twice a week and brings a load of straw back every time.
    That's hay :)
    He must never have come across the RSA or Gardai. He should do himself a favour and buy a flat trailer. Crazy load and strapping. People like him give genuine hauliers a bad name.

    Might be of interest to someone? Or to pass on to someone not on boards but using BA breeding.

    Changing a tyre should be part of the normal driving test. If ya can't do it you can't get a licence.

    The niece was in transition year in school and had a 12 class module on life skills. Included wiring a plug, checking oil , coolant etc in a car, changing a puncture, bleeding a radiator, putting up a shelf and a few others I can't remember. Thought it was a great idea.

    A good initiative and one that should be supported more by other schools.
    Personally I deplore any (adult) man or woman who cannot change the wheel of a car, check the engine for oil/water, wire a plug or rod the sewerage pipes/septic tank.
    I do appreciate that we (farming fillies ;)) are experienced by necessity and are restricted by our physical strength but in most cases adapt and use machinery to complete a task.
    I also think that schools should be more proactive on teaching children how to grow veg, dress poultry etc

    I see more and more national schools with poly tunnels. Great idea it is to get kids to connect with their food.
    My own young lads teacher had an incubator in the classroom and they hatched out a clutch of chickens. The young lad was only talking about it earlier, he named one... Eggward.
