    Probably loads if you count those mini toy John Deeres. :)

    Ah electric is a dead end for tractors. Unless you count hybrid diesel engines.

    Methane seems to be the most promising. Albeit the most likely to be opposed by government based on lost fuel tax revenue and fossil fuel lobbyists.

    On the subject of dogs did anyone read about the 2 pit bulls attacking another dog on Dollymount beach yesterday. That could easily have been a child attacked.

    Must have been a tough scene for the postwoman to come across. I hear he may loose an arm as a result of the attack.

    Must have been, she was a brave woman as an out of control dog like that could have turned on her too. At the poor mans age it will be a hard recovery on him. I did here the initial fear was that he would loose his arm but I think the hospital may have managed to save it, it marvelous what some hospital can do in situations like that.

    Dunno if the dog was found or what the story is but would take a strong dog to kill one alright.

    I got a caterpillar phone for father's day. It's built like a brick sh1thouse and is nearly as heavy. PM me if you want it, only trouble is you'll have to wear braces to keep the jeans up:o

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    She was a very good dog, but went deaf very young due to something genetic, She was taught to hand signals then so she'd work well even up to 500 yards away provided she could see you.
    At least she'd always be watching for direction and most work would be repetitive so she worked away

    The old JRT here had gone deaf and blind for the last three years and sadly had him put down in April. His companion sadly went as well as his backend had gone. Both missed. Haven't replaced either tbh.

    Not just in an old house, we have at least one family in the attic; they have access through the air vents in the gable ends. They are harmless; once or twice one has flown around the living room when the trapdoor was left open. Watch out for infant bats on the footpath in July, who fail to get air borne. Just return them to the attic before the cat gets them.

    Here is one for the children, fledermaus, or a flying mouse.

    Looking for a 20ft shipping container or two for safe storage. Anyone bought these recently? I have no experience in them - do I have to organise delivery and cranage etc. of just prep a base and they do it all?

    Saw a great job when two were placed apart and a roof built between them to form a handy workspace in between them.

    Have a small one here. 15ft maybe. More of a site office sort of yoke. 8ft work bench along one end and then shelves and an L shaped bench along
    The rest.

    I bought a 40ft when we were building.
    Needs a bit of repair but serious storage space.

    It’s been on loan at another site for last two years.
