Big fan of Guy Martin. He's a cool customer. And mad as a bumblebee.

A neighbour's son is building a house across the road from here via direct labour. He spends every night loading blocks onto the scaffolds around the house. OH and I helped him twice during the week. We brought the 50b and loaded the 4 way bucket with blocks.
I'm kept busy over the last few nights feeding this fella. Unfortunately his comrade decided to choke himself yesterday in the teeniest gap between the gate and the wall. A cat would find it hard to fit through it :mad:

Thankfully I’m not doing it direct labour. We hadn’t planned for the shed but had to do one for the heating system and my builder is too busy to do it so my neighbour is going to build it but I’d have to set things up. He will be slow but good to send some cash his way.

How often do you have to feed during the night?

He is 16 days old today so he is on tad at the minute but I will put him on oad during the week when he is nipping better at meal.
A dairy farmer friend had cows that were caught by a neighbours roaming bull. He phoned me asking to take the bull calves off his hands as he didn't want to rear them. Have 4 older ones from the same farm that are nearly off milk.

Block layers really love themselves. Wanting the blocks stacked for themselves.

When I had them in here last year he did all his own moving them. I moved about 200 of them once with the tractor but made him load the pallet.
I have a single block grab for moving bales and first day he came to block lay I asked a friend to call down at 930am to borrow it.

Al Porter seems to be in a lot of trouble.

_Brian · 20-11-2017 09:56AM

Passed some lads doing round bale lucky dips yesterday.

Just outside dungannon.

Jesus the field was in ****e, the bales before wrapping were all ****e, the tractors were destroyed with muck.

Drawing bales to top of field to wrap.

It can’t become anything but ****e in bales, things muse be awfully desperate to spend that sort of money making what could never be good feeding. I actually felt really sorry for him looking at the whole thing.

And then he has a destroyed field at the end of it all.

I presume the idea would be leave them the minimum time and then try and feed - would 4 weeks be ready for feeding, or will they just rot.

But you’d know rightly by listening to him that he has something fuucked up going on in his head. He’ll be no loss to TodayFM anyway.

I couldn’t stand him at the beginning but I thought he grew into the role.

Bring back Anton at 9am. And muirean at 12

Be a good lineup, then D&D at a time more appropriate for them.

Ohhh dear, just watched some of tue exposure video recorded by the vigilante group in the UK that caught the RTE producer going to meet a 13yo girl over the weekend.
They were remarkably professional and restrained in their dealings.

He’s a neighbour- plasterer by trade but a jack of all trades. Only getting him to keep the mother happy. I’d be lucky if he did two courses a day.

He come in handy when I’m in Oz to scrape slats and have a cuppa with the mother.

He groped a number of men and also a patient at a mental hospital, apparently.

Spent the day yesterday in Dublin with the missus xmas shopping... Did almost 20k steps in the day. Do any of the rest of ye track your steps??.

Muckit · 20-11-2017 03:05PM

Herself got me a fitbit last christmas and l used it for about 3 weeks until l started getting a rash (on my wrist!) So its been dumped in drawer ever since. It was synced to app on phone. I do recall a few days of 20000 but anything over 10000 is good

3 lads and a labourer put in 1485 blocks into the footings of the “stables” in 1 day. There was a serious bust on

Paid 50c in the ground. And 60c above ground per block. He tried to do me 1000 blocks on his count that were never delivered.

So I charged him for borrowing my consaw and wheelbarrow and deducted it from the final payment

Yep, I don't wear a watch so use a clip on pedometer as one. Average about 8/9k steps per day if I don't get a walk in at night. When I was on work exp in Dublin I was averaging about 25-28k steps a day, walked through two pairs of boots :eek:

Grueller · 20-11-2017 04:01PM

Average 14000 per day. Never track my steps running and also run about 30 to 40 miles per week at the moment. That will probably increase up to close on 50 by spring.

I'd say you only ever have any lad work for you once 😂😂
