If there's any Dr.Doolittles out there I wonder could you tell the crow and gull population that although it looks a bit scruffy that they're in a silage field and not the county council dump.
That that is a Class tractor and McHale fusion 3 plus baler wrapper not a refuse truck.
That what comes out the back are wrapped bales of grass (no food there) and not black bags of rubbish with half eaten chicken curry chips in them please.

Only for I had a second tractor helping this morning I would have been in some bother. Starving they must be.

Ha! No wonder they're a bit p1ssed off.
Bad enough getting a bit of nitrogen on a cut. Desperate h##rs if they have to eat the stuff.

They are very clever yokes though.
You'd know they didn't lick it off the back of a stone.

whelan2 · 20-06-2017 01:36PM

no crows or anything to be seen when I was topping, grass must have been too strong for them

I dont know what schools you are on about but our kids are not allowed eat outside, all leftovers have to be brought home, even pencil parings . Birds wouldnt get much to eat in our school yard

Serious achievement... it takes work to get a 1.1

Well done...

Better chance of having a small tub of swarfega or even Quix in the cab , than the likelihood of finding a box of Aerial or Tide .......

Washing powder is a good job, wet the hands and grab a handful.

Thanks all but I had little involvement in his achievement other than supporting and encouraging him. He is passionate about the subject and told me once that it's not all hard work if you love doing it. Having said that he did struggle with some of the college subjects.
A friend phoned me earlier to congratulate me (she used to be his playschool teacher) and reminded me that when he was 4 he answered the obligatory question - what do want to be when you grow up - marine biologist he said.
Anyway, we are heading to one of our favourite places on Thursday to celebrate his achievement, the Natural History Museum in Merrion St. My parents/siblings brought me several times when I was a child and I in turn regularly brought my sons there and to the National Museum (Archaeology), Kildare St.
David Attenborough and BBC Natural History programmes had a great influence on our house over the years.

Congratulations Base Price. It's a serious accomplishment.

Fairy liquid. That's what I always use.
Heard of someone using it as a lubricant to calf a cow.

Do not use it for that. Well you can if you want but the cow will be a lot harder to go back in calf.

Fairy liquid has no place in the cervix of a cow.

The father here used to be a fecker for using it and then wondering why cows wouldn't go in calf.:rolleyes:

+1
there's chemicals in it that has no place on the insides of a cow or ewe.
If anything it'd take off the natural lubrication in the same way as the oil on your hands

Jayz I know that that school food isn't all it's cracked up to be and we're trying to make the little beggars a bit less obese

... but pencil parings????

Instead of teaching children to bring home their leftovers to be dealt with in any old fashion they could be teaching composting, gardening and recycling of leftovers.
In my young lads school a teacher with fowl brings home the food waste.
She had an incubator set up in the classroom last year to hatch out a clutch of chickens. They have raised beds for veg too.
It might help fill in the blanks between where food is produced and where it ends up.

Oh just rang me. He was tipping along loaded in his lorry on the m50 in the middle lane. Car in front of him stopped suddenly. He said he was an inch from him when the lorry stopped. The guy had missed his exit...... very lucky

The m50 is a nightmare! I don't know how truck drivers do it.
The main problem I see with it is drivers aren't thinking far enough ahead.
Does your oh have a dash cam?

A good quality properly mounted dash cam comes in handy in situations like that.
