Any cure to help young lad get his voice back for tomorrow? Oral exam for leaving cert is on. What happens if you cant talk?

Honey maybe?
I remember my Irish oral saved myself and a mate from being suspended after we shaved our heads for the shave or dye campaign over the easter break, needless to say it gave me a new taking point for it and i ended up with a B3 in honours overall.

The teacher was stressing all day with us over the interviews. 3 farm boys picked in a row and he was smiling away then his face dropped when the townie who knew it all was picked at the end. I think everything went ok in the end anyway

On our farm

IH784man · 22-04-2018 11:14AM

It's a project you do on your own farm or a neighbour/family members farm, you pick your animal of choice can be beef or dairy cattle,sheep or pigs, the project is then based around the general work of the animal on that particular farm, breeding dates,calving etc. I've chose sheep for mine
Also have to pick two crops aswell,I've chosen grass and potatoes.

A few kids in the local school used our place for their project this year and last year, some very detailed, it even got our brains working, we had some of the fifth years here on friday that are doing the leaving next year as well.

carrollsno1 · 22-04-2018 11:34AM

We had to make suggestions for farm improvements at the end of our project, if we werent using a family farm we were warned not to tell the farmers fix the fences were sick of running up the road after his cows etc and the rest of ye if ye were any good yere auld lads would be sick listening to it already

Anyone know if I need planning for an additional bay onto a shed? Looking at 30 × 30ft machinery bay.

shootermcgee · 22-04-2018 12:51PM

Make it look like it's bolted to the concrete so it's classed as a movable structure and as far as I know you don't need permission for that

The most recent planning exemption listing that I can see on DAFM website is from 2001. Third down on the left hand side of the link

Anyone see Father Rays performance on Saturday night, hope he wins it,
Maybe I'm biased, he grew up here
900,000 views on Youtube since Saturday, he was brilliant

Watched a good bit of that. Deep sea cold water corals were stunning, until they showed the bags of rubbish dumped by the dumb humans.

Is that the type of work your lad does ??

Was watching a cow to calve all day yesterday, kept going out to her, each time I thought I will give her another while yet. Finally at about 6 went out to find she had calved but there was no sign of the calf.

Found calf in deep ditch filled with water with just it's head above the water. Went into ditch after calf and while stooping the buckle on my belt broke and my right boot filled with water. Of coarse the anxious cow overhead was making me a little nervous too. Dragged calf out of ditch and it got up and went straight over and sucked from cow. Think if I went out a few min later there would have been a very different outcome.

I went home holding my pants up and with one squelching foot.

Thanks for the chuckle on a Monday morning!

Glad the calf was okay too!
