Hey all. It's definitely not that auld wain. Nope, I'm the ghost of herself.
To clear it all up I got into a bit of a tussle with someone in PM's and just heat of the moment (ye all know my excellent patience and cool, calm and collected self) and I just thought fúck it, it's not worth the hassle. Of course now I regret it hugely and you can't do the same as Facebook and just jump back in and the profile is there waiting on you.
So now I am lamenting my old profile as this one smells weird and it has a funny picture on it but sure that's a lesson for me to think before pressing big red buttons. Might hang around on this account for a bit before moving to a big person account with no Kovu in the name

Do yiz want me back bossing ye round again? Cause I'm sure that could be arranged, just have to do the ritual sacrifices to the mod gods of Bufty and Greysides

In-his-endo.....:D

Can a mod report someone for annoying them by pm? Hope it wasnt someone off f&f that was annoying you

Thread was taken down after several RPs until such time as I had time to deal with it. Back, but locked, now.

Mild steel and high tensile. Mild steel is lovely to work with but stretches over time. High tensile is a pig to work with but needs no care for years, once it's done right first day.

I'm slowly changing over to high tensile here.

often heard people talking about bull wire, what's that?

Its like thick mild steel wire. Hard to work with as well.

The best of the lot is high tensile. A handy tip is to twist the end into an L shape to create a handle and that makes it easier to twist and tie.

I normally use 12 gauge HT wire instead of 14 gauge so maybe there is a higher gauge wire again?

Edit. As croot says above, mild steel.

Bull can no longer get to heifers. Sold him at Mart today. 855kg made €1370. Was happy enough with that.

High tensile vs mild steel!! 12 gauge HT isn't bad if you have the knack of it! If you make a handle it will twist around lovely and neat! Bend back on itself and it snaps off lovely. Great stuff once it's up

We got a new gismo lately for tighten wire (not sure of the name). It looks like a clippers, you use the snapper wire joiners and you can tighten it later on by just putting it in and giving it an extra little pull. Have the hayes wire strainers as well and it will probably be retired! :-)
