    Yea.
    Could reverse up close and drain the tank rather than spread it. Leave the car sitting in a big pool of slurry but it on it.

    Our neighbor years ago blocked in unwelcome guests with a few round bales of silage dropped round the van. Left them they had to go ask to be let out and agreed not to come back. They had been asked not to be in shooting but gave lots of guff.

    Neither of those 200hp tractors have a hand throttle half as cool as a 10/60 had!

    Delighted to see his sentence has finally started for real. This should now be a weekly occurrence.

    This probably makes me a bad person, but I don’t care, those two boys deserve this on a regular basis for a very long time.

    Neither of those pair should ever step outside a secure facility for the rest of their lives.

    I think this lad has more work to do


    I read a article on this and it appears to me anyway the lad spreading is a farm hand, not the landowner. the fact that he couldn't resist filming what he was about to do leads me to believe he was more interested in clicks and likes than being actually annoyed by a car parked on the back swath of what is probably a 20 acres plus in size field

    the lad who parked the car there probably shouldn't have if he seen work taken place in the field at the time.

    nevertheless it's the act of right clown to cover someone's car with atouch of slurry given what appears to be the circumstances.

    A gripe is a deep ditch as opposed to a grape which is a fork

    This is flying over this evening over us.
    Launching at 9.30pm our time. It should be very visible. Going from west to east in the southern sky. The more south you are in Ireland the more higher in the sky obs.
    I think its supposed to be visible 10 or 15 minutes over us after launch in Florida.

    More detail here.

    True but I'm assuming its air pressure and the likes that is the issue. Weather seems to be improving over there atm. The two lads are suited and booted now anyways

    Continuing on the board's Twitter thread.:p

    Buford your post reminded me of this Tweet.
    Irish headstones in Canada. Twenty years after the famine.
    Were being used as stepping stones out of an old cowshed nowadays.

    The original tweet that that was a response to was from someone who found a family vault in a corner of a field while out spraying. Seemingly it was common for settlers to be buried on their property. Now all forgotten bar the remains of what stone is left.
    Very sad.

    Is that where you get gripe water for the babies. A ditch is a dyke in my area. A ditch is a ditch.
