    "I've got a brand new multi-purpose reaper binder thresher, and I'll give you the key"

    Contact your vet, if they had high levels of fluke or worms, the sudden kill might cause problems

    They will be grand. If they didn't have an allergic reaction fairly quickly you have nothing to worry about. Maybe increase your withdrawal period by 50%

    Hydraulics on the old zetors are massive I have a tanco wrapper on a 7320 zetor and if I drive the wrapper at full pelt i can send the bale into orbit. Have a neighbour doing contracting and he gets me to do all his double wrapping.

    My parents were in Canada last year. They said it was sad to see "real farms" as you put it, but no real farmers. Most of the large holdings were owned by corporations or banks.

    Nice one, always wanted to see Canada. Enjoy the trip, don't forget the camera. My Dad used to work in Montreal in the early 60's, said the sea used to freeze over, so you might be glad of the heat as opposed to the cold there.

    On a fast broadband connection - wow what a difference! Best I can get at home is 0.8MB as we're at the end of the line from the exchange.

    Getting a 30day SIM only from emobile tomorrow so I'll be interested to see what speeds I get over their 3G network. Talked to someone with them and seemly network coverage is good. Time will tell....
