    or you put it the net amount through after vat and claim capital allowance each year. 100% tax relief as self employed:rolleyes:

    woops, you would need to be using it just for the business purpose. ie dropping the letters to the post box
    How about if you got a mountain bike for cycling around the land checking the cattle ;)

    There was 2 of them:P



    I was rock climbing at Dun Shean head and a wave came in and washed me off the platform I was climbing on. Got fairly bashed around and ended up hanging from one leg about 20 meters away from where I had been.
    Bloody lucky I was washed back in! Had about 7/8 kg of equipment on my harness too:eek:
    Free trip in a helicopter and was black and blue for quite some time.

    Ya but its a bit of a joke in one way cos the bike shops are charging crazy prices often double for the scheme.

    You need to in to a reputable bike shop , not one that started selling bikes when the scheme came in. Check prices on Wiggle.com and chainreactioncycles to get a ball park figure.

    What a right prick of a morning, had a cow down In the milkers first thing, gave her a couple of bags and had to give her a hand up with the hip lifters, away now but not to steady on the feet I'd say I could be lifting her again.

    Then had to calve a monster of a bull calf whose front legs were pointing back, got him out then cow went down, so gave her a couple of bags still not up but I'm not overly surprised about that.

    Just in having the breakfast now hopefully all will have sorted itself by the time I'm finished. To top it all off had a mates leaving do last nite, so wasn't in the leaba to long either. Luckily enough I only had a few pints so heads grand. Roll on the end of calving, only 15 to go.

    Funny the way government policy shapes the way we think.

    When else did you see two threads running on taxing tractors ;)

    Was in mart last week and you could hear plenty of talk about taxing tractors and jeeps and ways to dodge the system.

    It'I be 'back to basics.' Bye bye quads and big trailers behind jeeps. Green diesel and €102 tax all the way. I can see a CPC coming in for jeeps and trailers, real money spinner that one

    I see safety training days being run how long before these come more about money spinners rather than safety

    19. '94 AFAIK.

    Oasis are talking about some sort a reunion tour with the original line-up that's how old we're getting. F'n reunion tours. That's supposed to be for bands from the 60's not some crowd you went to see playing what feels like last week.
