    Does it work in reverse if a Dub were to marry a farmerette?:D

    Actually my father would probably get his gun out before he set foot on the land.....
    (and he's be waving his license at you too)

    You could be better off with a dub than some culchie that would want to do things the way they did at home . If my wife was a plasterer or a farmer I'd say there would be a lot more clashes that there are already :P

    Actually that poses a good question lads and ladies. Which is better to go out with/marry in your eyes?
    A. some one who knows nothing about farming and never wants to?
    B. Someone who knows nothing about farming but wants to learn about it and help you out with jobs the whole time?
    C. Or a farmers son/daughter who knows a fair bit about farming?

    B. So long as they never question me.:pac:


    No in all fairness, a farmers son. It helps if they know how to assist when needed. I already do about half the work here so a bit of help wouldn't go amiss at times. Esp as we're approaching calving next month and I already see one that will be a problem :(

    A. Would be my choice .
    I would prefer to make my own decisions right or wrong
    I would prefer to do different things together and have craic at them . Farming is a 365 days job and its nice to leave it outside the door when you're finished for the day .
    Even with my own kids , if they're interested in farming I would sooner give them a few acres of there own to start with or rent somewhere to let them do things their own way .

    "white trainer" like it, ah we all looked in at some stage in our lives, bet if he played a bit of hurling there would not be a problem

    a friend of mine from tipp, his father in law would not speak to him for years cause he had no interest in hurling, father had no choice after he married the daughter and yer man was looking across the table at thim

    i always said imagine if he was after the farm what would have happened
