    Kate's on a Sunday evening with a few creamy pints and she'd bring out the toasted sandwiches heaven

    I was in the Agri business class and we didn’t do the tour. Enjoyed the year though and drank some hape of pints there.

    Ah, agribusiness. Yes. You lot were a more refined and civilised bunch. Some of the Cert class were dragged backwards down from the hills.

    We had one guy from tallaght of all places with us.

    I remember thinking he must have felt like he moved to a different planet

    The lad we had, really nice chap but he was Tallaght true and true, not a north co Dublin farmer.

    It was like out of a movie script. He was tp inherit a farm from a relative and went to agri school tp find out which end of a ewe the lamb comes out of

    4 prong pike still used here...

    I actually cracked the handle the other day and used a bit of duck tape to put it back together...

    Got a new handle in the co-op, but not going to bother putting it on til the duck tape leaves me down at the worst possible moment...

    I have accepted the rootin lifestyle :)

    I've got three of them here. One has the most useless prongs imaginable. They bend in the ground. But keeping in case I ever need it for something. I've galband around the other one and another with the wrong handle on it.

    I'll try and get some real rooting photos tomorrow if I think about it. One I'm really chuffed with and had an element of alcohol involved in it. :)

    I cracked a shovel handle yesterday. 1 + 1/2 inch waste pipe fits perfectly down over the cracked timber handle . Might replace the handle sometime.

    Weld an inch and a half steel tube to the shovel, a lifetime job

    I hope to never wear out my shovel. Have it 15 years and it's still fairly immaculate.

    Anyone here take the point off the shovel ? One of our neighbours used to do it. Easier to use.

    Ya dad and uncles used to here. If they got a new shovel they might give it to us while they used the old one. Sure we though we were the bees knees, little did we know!
