Saw this on fb

The NCT wait list is 8-9 weeks now! What people don't know is that if they can not give you a date within 4 weeks you get your NCT for FREE also if you have to wait more than one hour for your test it's also FREE it's all here on https://www.ncts.ie/customer_charter.html
I got my last NCT free because I knew this but you have to ask for it to get it! Thought I'd share this with everyone as the wait times are currently 8 to 9 weeks

Rang about test first week of April, got text early May and tested today. Free test and also free for 3 out of 4 others there.

And passed.

16 year old Toyota. Got a couple of anti roll bar bushings beforehand. That's why I don't drive the Ferrari. :rolleyes:

My nephew got his car tested last Sunday week, when my mam heard about it she told him to sell the car as it couldn't be lucky due to been tested on the Lord's day.

Help me settle an argument, it's been year since we made small bales of hay. Anyone know the correct way to leave the bales dry out in a field, twine is down & out right?

Yup, knots down and out.

Have a bull in with cows on our right of way the last couple of days so have to walk through them morning and evening. He seems pleasant enough but he has a dreadful habit of watching me walk in and then moving up onto the lane so I have to edge round him via the field on the way back while he eyeballs me.

I think I'll name him Sally O'Brien, cause of the way he does look at me

About ten rows from the front at the Olympia for Tom Jones!!

There always seemed to be someone roaring that in the field of bales...

Always prefered 9's.

If hay is baled a little rare, it's better off in stooks. Knots out & down.

I wore enough holes in the knee of my trousers as a young lad stacking bales at 1p a bale.

Everything in America is built from timber. Be hard enough to find a masonry building I'd say

5 storey buildings should be reinforced concrete or steel in my opinion, sure its an obvious building detail that would let in water to use timber on a balcony, sure it was red rotten in on of the close up pictures I saw earlier

that accident was a fault in the construction, it wasn't over loading

im an engineer by the way

the standard of construction In Ireland and England is light years ahead of many other countries

ps. heartfelt sympathies to anyone connected with the accident

I think you took me up wrong. I agree with you 100% just it's the yanks make everything from timber

ya I wasn't against you don't worry, I know its mostly timber over there, just thought they would have common sense to only build 2 storey buildings with timber and not 5 or 6 storeys

I'd reckon there would be steel involved in high buildings although maybe not on balconies.
Can't they laminate up them flitch beams to be as strong as rsj's i think
