No quitten we're whelan onto chitchat 12.

Speaking Of toilets on the back of the door of the toilet cubicle I was in yesterday in the mater hospital it said no sleeping in toilet cubicles!!!! That's a new one

Anyone know if there's a invertor or anything to be got that would allow a 10hp 3 phase motor work on single phase?

I hear you. A cyclist is expected to facilitate traffic where it is safe and practical to do so, but the legal obligations are not the same as those placed on certain slow moving vehicles such as tractors.

The difference is that a lone cyclist is usually much easier to overtake than a tractor. A cyclist occupies less road space and can often be passed safely when visibility allows. A tractor may physically prevent overtaking for much longer periods and is therefore subject to specific rules about allowing traffic to pass when safe.

But you're 100% correct in having little faith in motorists. They are by far the biggest source of danger, delay and disruption on our roads. Almost every serious collision involves a motor vehicle. Traffic jams are caused by motor vehicles. Gridlock in towns and cities is caused by motor vehicles. Dangerous overtakes, speeding, drink driving, phone use behind the wheel, close passes and road rage are overwhelmingly motorist problems.

A cyclist can inconvenience a driver for a minute or two on a narrow road. A single broken down car, poorly parked van or minor collision can delay hundreds or thousands of people. Every driver has sat in traffic for hours caused by other motorists, yet many seem to reserve their frustration for the occasional cyclist who slows them briefly.

That's not to say cyclists shouldn't be courteous. Most are. But when discussing risk and disruption on the road network, motorists are responsible for the vast majority of both.

Have a 1394 here and it does a mountain of work.

Went on a tour in local museum of old horse drawn carts. He had one "Irish style" cart. Asked us to come back tomorrow and he'll bring us all out on a cart pulled by clydesdale horses.

Closest dairy farm to me is 80 miles away. All grain country around us here, towns are fierce small and spread out. So far we saw a moose, coyotes and deer. Hoping to see a few bears tomorrow and maybe have a go on a case quad track. My other half isn't impressed with me looking at tractors 🤣

That's ok though. Are people not allowed to have a voice here? Am I not allowed to start a thread on boards.ie praising a politician when I think they're standing up for a section of the community that's being unfairly impacted? Surely other people do that without reproach.

Did you witness the carry on in Dublin during the blockades? I didn't hide my views then and I don't hide them now. I saw some nasty stuff. If I think someone is making a valid point, I'll say so. If I think they're wrong, I'll say that too.

Is that a problem? If honesty, openness and people expressing their views bothers you, perhaps you're on the wrong forum. Most people in Farming & Forestry are perfectly capable of accepting different opinions, even when they disagree with them.

I'm not abusive, I don't call people names, and I respect everyone's right to their opinion.

If my views on cyclists is that offensive you probably could ask the moderators to have me banned.

He's some dose at this stage though. All high and mighty no matter the topic.

They tyres are very light so they puncture quite eaay, they could use the hard shoulder but pick up far more punctures with all the crap that gets thrown in there.

The greenway is a great facility, I'm near the Navan end of it.
