    I wouldn't read too much into this match, Dublin were shocking, Galway were still very loose. Joe canning mentioned in interview after match that he hoped the band wagon supporters would start coming back. Bit cheeky if you ask me::D

    I didn't see any post match interviews. I don't suppose Galway are that far ahead of Dublin. I don't suppose Dublin are that bad either. Though I think Dublin have slipped a little.

    Yeah there good alright, they do wear down quick enough if you dog them fairly hard but they do leave it fairly nice, much smoother than a grinding disc does anyways



    Use grazon or something unless you really want to kill it! Other wise the weeds will grow back faster and be twice as bad next time...

    What about a wire brush head?

    Be careful with them! I have both the type that's twisted and the one that just has the straight bristles.. Go for the one with the twists unless you can slow your grinder down, because when the straight bristles get a bit of work it seems an odd one will come loose and if you clip a corner it will throw out strands at you and they'll stick straight through clothes.

    They will knock off the heavy stuff alright but sort of leave it a little bit glazed or polished kinda if you get me, not the best of surfaces for fresh paint.. Nearly be as well run over with a sandpaper wheel after to really clean it and leave a slightly rougher finish for paint to stick

    Cheers ZR!
    Glad I got the sandy one now, I was unsure about the wire one tbh.
    With reasonably decent use, how long would it last?
    Or is it down to what yer using it on??

    Was registering our latest pb heifer last night and Mammy was sat beside me. She hadn't a clue that you can reprocess a tag that's awaiting registration. She almost thumped me when I saved it :D

    Ewe could be right on the ball there.:pac:

    I had my 2 nephews helping so it was quite an easy day but the two lads are hanging today.

    You forget how 'easy' turning a ewe is when you are used to doing it but, fair play to the two lads, they were getting good by the end of the day:)

    Overheard to men in local bemoaning their lack of a sex life.
    One man was saying he was lucky if he had sex every six months.
    The other lad says that he was worse and his wife had lost all interest. He said sure one night last week I asked her if I could even get a look at her 'yoke'. She told me to fcuk off and tbat I'd been using it as a dartboard for years and she was damned if she was now going to let me use it as a television.

    Nettles will be the issue if you keep using roundup...anyway it's just a preference of mine. Had a neighbour that used to spray 50 - 60 mtrs of my roadside bank for visibility driving out. Within about three years, instead of a nice grassy bank with a few nettles, I had a crop of nettles with a few blades of grass...sorted now by having a chat with him and plenty of grazon on the bank over the last two years...


    what's the price of a gallon of grazon vs a gallon of roundup?
