    I was just looking at the paperwork for the last lot of lambs I sold. There's the usual VAT and Commission, then there's something called MSD Charge, what's that? I must ask Saturday if no one here knows.

    How is it the EU won't pay farmers on the double for SFP and say agri plan, but we can pay the banks on the double.

    Quick, someone ring Joe.

    I'm trying to reduce the belly. What with tractors and loaders etc. an hour or so swinging the splitting axe is the only physical exercise I'm getting!

    My uncle had a lot of weight on, went to the doctor and got advice. Went back some time later as big as ever. Doctor complained he wasn't going walking like what he was told, uncle said he was, three times a day. Doctor asked him what times, then told him he wanted him going walking at breakfast time, lunch time, and dinner time ;)

    I'd say you're oul boy spent your entire late teens and early twenties peppering himself that some disinherited second son was going to turn up at his front door some Fri night around tea time holding his belly saying he was pregnant with your child and he eyeing up all the road frontage and the cubicle sheds.

    Spent a couple of days canvassing IFA election. Great days out. The aroma of sweet smelling silage and the commentary on the great spell of weather are the impressions you bring away. Lots of lime spreaders working away and the odd farmer transferring slurry from one tank to another.:D
