    I bought this account from a lad in the pub. He threw in 3 for the price of one. Thought it was a good deal?

    Hi all,

    Just wondering, I'm sure some of you have purchased a tractor or machine up North, when they say they just want a valid vat number, do I just supply the number at the time of possible purchase or do I need one of the tax clearance codes that they now give out?

    Cheers, It's probably been asked many times but a quick search found me nothing recent

    Whichever they ask for. Normally its just the vat number. You might have to give it to them 24hrs in advance for them to check its genuine. This isn't always the case tho

    Vegan on newstalk, would make your blood boil listening to her. She was brought on to talk about Christmas food but is just going on about animal cruelty and murder. Sent in a text don't think it will be read out.

    4 Bullocks to load this evening for the factory. Nervous already. 4 of the madest yokes that have ever been in the place.
    Holding pen here that I use when loading is half a column of a haybarn so 2 sides are gates bracketed to the H iron. Both raised an extra 10" last evening.
    Lad that takes em for me has a jeep and box. So I need the 4 to face the right way once they load. In fairness he is very calm and a good handler.
    Fingers crossed.

    4 loaded but 1 was a sub !
    One mad fcuker bolted and forced his from the pen between side of the box and gateway and was heading down the avenue towards the main road while the other 3 loaded. 3 phone calls to the bother who is working from home and thankfully he answered on the third. Got to him and turned bullock back. Then the bsatard decided to take 3 strands of a good quality barbed wire fence with and into my 4 little calves.
    My man says we'll try him again. So we headed to the field to try turn him back into the yard. Another ditch and a stream cleared. Bye bye yo him.
    My man definitely wanted 4 loaded so we'll try another he says. An overage Angus who is a comrade of the mad CHx. Eventually we got him into the pen. Let out the 3 and managed to get the 4 up.
    Not looking forward to the next days frolics when he has to be faced again. 30months on Saturday.
    In fairness my man is very calm and doesn't get excited. Can't beat experience

    Did you measure them? 2 ft sounds very low. I cant see any measurements on the offer, only the pipe thickness at 60mm or 76mm?

    27 inches from top of wall to top of railway track upright.

    Haven’t measured any barrier but any I’ve seen were a good bit higher than that

    Mod note: Just a quick reminder to carry the Covid chat over to the Covid thread, please, folks. We'll try to keep this one Covid19 free for those that don't want to be chatting about it.

    Thanks in advance,

    My jeep passed the test first thing this morning, apart from 4 new tyre's it only required a few light bulbs so I'm happy out. I wore the old tyre's out to the last so I couldn't complain and I opted for some all terrain BF Goodrich which although pricy look the business and are way ahead as regards grip and road holding.

    My original CVRT was out in June but it got extended 3 months until now (October). Will my new cert be backdated until June or will I have gained 3 months on it? I was that pleased when the tester said it passed I forgot to ask him.

    well done

    Last Saturday moved in the hard shoulder to avoid a BMW who's driver (male) reckoned a 4x4 with a 14' trailer was less of a risk than the light briars of his passenger side

    wrote off the back passenger side tyre on the jeep, must have been a rock there dislodged by a hedge cutter

    tyre was about 50% but would have done for a while yet
