My Oz OH never got into the Late late show so we never watch it. I’ve never seen a full show of any description since Gaybo.
But the little lady came home from school about it.
she ended up waking me at 11pm crying saying the OH sent her to bed. if she’s not in bed by 8, she gets fair whingy.
You couldve used the sign language version in that case.
I’d rather watch paint dry than listen to that clown tubridy.
A local lad here was supposed to be roofing his shed 4 weeks ago and it still hasn't happened. Now I don't know the full details of why or what but the same fellow wouldn't be generous with paying out euros
Maybe he got word of a price drop. It is a serious job though and big credit due to him in the work he has done since taking over the farm a few years ago.
Loads of fodder out there. This and last year were excellent years for grass growth. After the couple really long winters we had a few years ago lads started to aim for to have extra in the yard.
Like I said I would not be afraid of this year. It's spring 2023 I be worried about
There’s no end of adds on DD at the moment & silage not moving
No I would not consider 25 expensive for good or even fairly good silage. 25 used to just about cover costs. I have costed it at 25/ bale in my case. If you use projected fertlizer costs and contractors and plastic will probably increase prices next year then bale silage will be costing 35 to make.
25 is not exactly expensive. I left it at that as there a couple of years old but the op said there good. some lads got 30 a bale collected last year for fresh stuff. It will be dear enough in spring for those who want it I agree it will be dearer the year after
It's next winter that bales will be expensive. Lads will cut back on expensive fertlizer. That will reduce crops. Many may do as I plan to do and reduce my silage area.
I have about 270-280 bales at present. About 160-180 bales should carry me to the end of March. That will leave a surplus of over100 bales. If I make 150 next year I should be ok( I can always adjust my stock purchase numbers)
First cut will drop back to 16 acres from 22. That will give me 120-130 bales. I will pick up another 30-50 out of strong paddocks. 10 acres of second cut will see me hitting above the 150 comfortable.
Weird time of teh day to be awake, I find I overthink problems that don't really feature in the light of day, I second the remedy of whiskey and seven up.
I fell asleep reading the 3yo stories, my 7yo had to wake me for fear she missed the toy show. I had to struggle away through it until my OH came home from work and I crawled into bed.
it’s not my cup of tea and im not a fan of Ryan. My little girl liked it. She’s learning lion king songs for her musical theatre so she was delighted.
I never understand the absolute love or absolute hate for it.
The crowd in the audience seemed to enjoy it, although I dunno how they didn’t melt in their rig outs.
Enjoyed it myself. Any chance there was less toys to calm kids wish lists if there is supply issues this year?
I have a bottle of Captain Morgan for that problem !!!
Well now just a half measure of captain morgan and half 7 up and lights out
I enjoyed it although it wasn't very Christmassy. No Christmas carols etc.
Lying awake at night is a pain, two and a half hours awake. I’ve had tea and fig rolls so hopefully might get a few hours now.
No just more talk from shed erectors that the waiting time for steel has dropped from 12 weeks to 2 weeks and price is due a drop. Timber is the same I'm told. Now the new covid scare could upend all of that
There worth 25 this year I would think. you'll probably have to show most lads an open bale of it . Silage will be dear this coming year if needed
I am a child of the seventies. The toy show was the make or break of the santa letter. Tonights performance regardless of covid and sofort was all about tubirty. Companies and wholesalers must of pulled the pin because where was the toys.
Our tv licence fees pays that presenter in excess of 500k a year. Money well spent...🙈🙈🙈
Come again
Anyone know what’ 2019 silage bales are worth, double wrapped and still good, opened a bale last Sunday?
Young lad with the books is from down the road here
That’s what all the kids are saying here. They haven’t see any toys.
it’s more a talent show than a toy show
Very poor this year, himself like to be more centre stage than the kids, and where are all the toys? 🤔
Just off a quick phone call with eldest in Melbourne. He and a few friends are watching the Toy show after doing a all nighter and lets just say he is more than a little inebriated - he reckons it's the best one ever 🙄
The poor DJ
Girl on the harp was very good and the 10 year old singing Ave Maria was exceptional
I think it is. He was featured in the IFA a few months ago with calves that he bought.
I think that's adam woods son
The expression on the young lads face when the bell broke
