    Fermanagh I think. He was a farmer trying to be in disguise if ever I saw one! Sure he almost sent the wheel into orbit.

    Yeah - but the place still seems to be only half working, and is dog slow for me most of the time still... :(

    So many St Brigid's crosses made. Looks like a field exploded in our kitchen.

    You make it sound like I got done with the burdizzo.
    A lot better with the painkillers. The beer numbed the pain last night but I'm feeling it today.

    What would St.Brigid think of the new sprayer regulations?
    Will she influence EU policy on MCPA?
    Has she anything to do with the banning of CMPP use on grassland?
    Could you contest a cut in your SFP , as the Rush is an important socio-religious element of the landscape?
    :D

    We fe#king had a lunging rope on her and always would when covering with a stallion. But this one had a mind of her own. The stallion man we brought her to didn't like putting a touch on mares and said she'd be fine. We put her in the stocks after that and put a touch on her and she stood and went in foal.
    She bred a few eventers and her last foal

    What do you mean by putting a touch on her? (Know nothing about horses)

    I'm in the same boat with my knowledge of horses but a touch is way of holding a horse. I think I've heard of them made up of a light stick or rope wound around the horses lip.

    Was anyone at the beef master class on Friday last?
    There was a trip out to Lisbeg Farm, serious huars for horses, sheep, beef and tillage.

    Call them a touch here too, we just make them with a shovel handle and a small piece of rope

    Found the water meter spinning a few mths ago while turning off the water to connect a new drinker, turned out the leak was under the concrete in the yard, I had to employ a guy to trace and fix it, €500, got the water bill today....€1000, instead of a couple hundred....fecking Irish Water

    We had a water leak here under the concrete too. We are on our own well. Complicated by the fact power cable for water pump was running along side were water pipe was. Spent 2 days at it. We didn't find the leak but ran a new pipe. Leak was no where near were water was coming up but we narrowed it down after digging up most of the yard.

    our yard is built on clean gravel and all the water was going down, wasn't coming up any where......should've been watching the meter more closely

    are those things accurate for finding pipes/leaks? We were going to get a compressor and jack hammer but we managed to get up concrete with back arm.
